Lol - it turns out it's some antivax conspiracy nonsense that was flagged to death yesterday:

Orwell indeed.



> Orwell indeed.

Wrong, that was Kafkaesque.


I am not referring to that argument. There was no "antivax conspiracy nonsense" ... Just people who can't read.

I have made no statements regarding vaccination.

However, I do consider delaying until after the approval announcement the release of the update to what is known about how many people who are fully vaccinated against Covid19 are dying from Covid19 or being hospitalized due to Covid19 to be suspicious.

That is not a conspiracy theory. It happened. Information that was due to be released on Friday was delayed and released after the FDA approval on Monday. The updated information showed that known rates of death from Covid19 among those fully vaccinated against Covid19 continued to increase.

Plus, the CDC does not put out a proper time series table[1]. Every week, they overwrite the information from the previous week so one is forced to rely on external snapshots[2] to preserve what should be public record. Plus, many states don't even release or track information about the vaccination status of people who are hospitalized or who die from Covid19. For months now, CDC have been saying:

> Ultimately, CDC will use the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS) to identify vaccine breakthrough cases.

What is the holdup?

I summarized why you want to care about that here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28287440

None of this is a conspiracy theory: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28280087
