US EditionCDC won’t publish report showing covid shots cut likelihood of hospital visits
The blocked report found COVID-19 shots cut emergency visits and hospitalizations by about 50%, according to the Washington Post.
- On Wednesday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention blocked publication of a report on Covid-19 vaccine efficacy from its flagship journal, the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
- The shelved report found that healthy adults who received the vaccine between September and December 2025 cut their risk of urgent care visits by 50 percent and Covid-related hospitalizations by 55 percent.
- While HHS spokesperson Andrew Nixon cited concerns over methodology, experts note the same approach is standard in prestigious journals including The Lancet and Pediatrics.
- Sources suggest the suppression occurred at the behest of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a vaccine skeptic who previously called the Covid-19 jab the "deadliest vaccine ever made."
- Reflecting a wider policy trend, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that American service members will no longer be required to receive yearly flu shots.
