Former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) director Dr. Robert Redfield acknowledged that there are “significant” side effects from the COVID-19 vaccine.
During an interview with NewsNation’s Chris Cuomo, Redfield said, “There’s been so much credibility lost in the public science groups – NIH, FDA, CDC – because I think there was a lack of transparency.”
“Those of us who tried to suggest there may be significant side effects from vaccines … we kind of got canceled because no one wanted to talk about the potential that there was a problem from the vaccines,” he added. “They were afraid that would cause people not to want to get vaccinated.”
“We have to be honest, some people got significant side effects from the vaccine,” he noted. “I have a number of people that are quite ill; they never had COVID, but they are ill from the vaccine. And we just have to acknowledge that.”
A recent study analyzed the health data of 99 million patients across 8 countries, finding that numerous adverse side effects are linked to the COVID-19 vaccine.
Countries involved in the study included Argentina, Australia New South Wales, Australia – Victoria, Canada – British Columbia, Canada – Ontario, Denmark, Finland, France, New Zealand, and Scotland.
The study confirms numerous other conclusions that the vaccine is linked to conditions such as myocarditis, pericarditis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, and other health concerns.
“This multi-country analysis confirmed pre-established safety signals for myocarditis, pericarditis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, and cerebral venous sinus thrombosis,” the researchers wrote. “Other potential safety signals that require further investigation were identified.”
AstraZeneca also admitted in a recent court document filing that its COVID vaccine can cause “rare side effects.”
