The CDC is reportedly withholding data that could contradict messaging on vaccine effectivenessTexas Republican Congressman Chip Roy’s letter to the Centers of Disease Control demanding answers on the agency’s communication on masking and vaccine effectiveness is an effort to address a "lack of transparency" and "political agenda", Roy told Fox News on Thursday.
"The American people want to know the truth," Roy explained. "And the CDC owes us the damn truth."
Roy sent the letter to CDC Director Rochelle Walensky earlier this week asking that the agency release data on coronavirus hospitalizations that they have reportedly been withholding due to fears it would contradict its messaging on the effectiveness of vaccines.
"I write to you seeking answers regarding troubling reports of your agency intentionally withholding data related to COVID-19 hospitalizations," Roy wrote in a letter to CDC Director Rochelle Walensky. "As recently reported by the New York Times, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) allegedly withheld data, such as data on COVID-19 hospitalizations by vaccination status, because agency personnel stated the data may be misinterpreted."
Roy was referring to a New York Times report in late February that said the CDC has "been routinely collecting information since the COVID vaccines were first rolled out last year" but has been "reluctant" to make those figures public "because they might be misinterpreted as the vaccines being ineffective."
