ICAN is excited to announce the launch of a powerful new dashboard that will allow the public to review and search critical safety data from the V-safe free-text entries. Now we can see for ourselves what everyday Americans injected with COVID-19 vaccines were telling CDC after injection.
ICAN CEO, Del Bigtree, explains how to use the Free-Text Field Dashboard here:
When the COVID-19 vaccines rolled out, CDC used a program called V-safe to collect information from vaccine recipients. If users wanted to report a serious adverse reaction, they were forced to type in a description of their symptoms and reactions into open text fields. Almost one year ago, ICAN’s attorneys won a lawsuit against CDC forcing it to release this free-text data. However, that data was incomplete.
After months of legal work, the complete free-text data has finally been obtained, with additional fields that allow us to see the date of injection, the number of days after injection each reaction was reported, and the MedDRA codes assigned for each reported reaction (a standardized coding system to classify medical events) along with every free text entry. Today, we are thrilled to announce the release of this data and a new Keyword Search Dashboard on our V-safe page, built specifically to search the free-text entries.
The American public will now be able to view for themselves all 5.5 million entries that CDC has released so far. (More are coming over the next couple of months.)
All entries are anonymous and only identified by a unique Registrant ID code. The Dashboard has advanced search and filter capabilities, including the ability to search by keyword, phrase, or MedDRA code, and to filter the data by vaccine received, age, sex, and more!
In addition, the Dashboard allows users to view the entire “story” for any one individual user, including which vaccine was received and when, the entries made, and how his or her story progressed over time.
This Dashboard brings a whole new level of transparency to data the government tried so hard to keep behind closed doors. We encourage everyone to check out the new Keyword Search Dashboard and do a search or two—the entries and individual storylines are powerful and, in many cases, heart-breaking. These are the people our federal “health” authorities abandoned. ICAN remains steadfastly committed to bringing the suffering of COVID-19 vaccine recipients out of the shadows and into the light.
