CDC Admits Once and for All It Has No Basis for Its Claim That COVID-19 Vaccines Do Not Cause Variants

ICAN, through its attorneys, has now asked the CDC to support its claim that COVID-19 vaccines are not causing variants in every way possible.  We updated you on the CDC’s response to our two prior requests on this topic and we just received a third and final response from the CDC quoted in the chart below.  This chart makes it crystal clear that the CDC’s claim that COVID-19 vaccines do not contribute to driving variants is simply a belief.  Not science.

CDC Claim	ICAN Request	CDC Response
“MYTH: COVID-19 vaccines cause variants.  FACT: COVID-19 vaccines do not create or cause variants of the virus that causes COVID-19.”	“All documents sufficient to support that COVID-19 vaccines do not create or cause variants of the virus that causes COVID-19.”	“A search of our records failed to reveal any documents pertaining to your request because COVID-19 vaccines do not create or cause variants.”
“MYTH: COVID-19 vaccines cause variants.  FACT: … COVID-19 vaccines can help prevent new variants from emerging. New variants of a virus happen because the virus that causes COVID-19 constantly changes through a natural ongoing process of mutation (change).”	“All documents sufficient to support that the immunity conferred by COVID-19 vaccines does not contribute to virus evolution and the emergence of variants.”	“A search of our records failed to reveal any documents pertaining to your request.”
“MYTH: COVID-19 vaccines cause variants. FACT: … High vaccination coverage in a population reduces the spread of the virus and helps prevent new variants from emerging.”	“Documents sufficient to show that COVID-19 vaccines are not driving the emergence of any variants that are resistant to the immunity provided by COVID-19 vaccines.”	“A search of records by the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases and the Emergency Operations Center failed to reveal any documents pertaining to your request.”

Really.  Truly.  It is incredibly concerning that the CDC is asleep at the wheel in a bus it is forcing all of us to ride in.  The CDC is even asleep at the wheel regarding the simple issue of whether the vaccine will be effective against variants.  As the CDC director recently said about the immunity from the COVID-19 vaccine: nobody told her “it’ll wear off” or that it won’t be “as potent against the next variant.”  But yet the CDC, without any supporting documentation, asserts it is a “fact” that variants are not caused by COVID-19 vaccines.

The CDC’s failure to support its claim that COVID-19 vaccines not causing variants is a prime example of why public “health” officials should never have any control over any of our lives and ICAN will continue to expose the truth until that becomes a reality.
