The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and its partners uncovered signs that the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines might cause the persistent condition called tinnitus but never disclosed the findings to the public, The Epoch Times can report.
The signs were found while analyzing data from the CDC’s Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD), which has been described as one of the stronger CDC surveillance systems because it utilizes health care records.

The detection of the signs came just after the CDC told a reporter that there were no signs of large numbers of cases of tinnitus, which commonly manifests as a constant ringing in the head, following COVID-19 vaccination, documents obtained by The Epoch Times show.

The CDC never updated the reporter, whose story reported that the CDC had not found a clustering of cases.

The CDC declined to comment.

The documents “prove that they were aware of a safety signal of tinnitus after the COVID-19 shots as early as 2022,” Dr. Joel Wallskog, co-chair of the advocacy group React19, told The Epoch Times via email. “However, to my knowledge, this safety signal was never communicated to the public and no further epidemiological study on tinnitus in VSD was ever completed.”
The Epoch Times obtained the documents through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.
Previous requests have yielded other evidence the CDC knew about possible safety problems with the COVID-19 vaccines but did not alert the public. That includes the detection in May 2022 of a safety signal for tinnitus and the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, in an analysis of data from another CDC system, which is based on reports filed by doctors and others.
“As time passes and more FOIA requests are executed, how many more safety signals will we learn about that the CDC knew about years ago? When does this nightmare end? When will the American public know the whole truth and nothing but the truth? Is the CDC evil or incompetent? Or maybe both,” Dr. Wallskog added.
Detection
A CDC spokeswoman, according to one of the emails obtained by The Epoch Times, told a reporter on Sept. 21, 2022, that the CDC was aware of reports of tinnitus after COVID-19 vaccination lodged with the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). That CDC-run system accepts reports from anybody, although most are filed by health care workers.

“Because so many people have been vaccinated, and because tinnitus is so common in the population, temporally-associated cases are expected, with some expected to occur shortly after vaccination,” Martha Sharan, the spokeswoman, said.

The CDC opted to explore potential links in VSD.

“Unlike VAERS, which relies primarily on voluntary reports ... the VSD uses data from electronic health records,” Ms. Sharan said. “Consequently, the VSD data are less likely to be affected by the reporting biases and other biases that impact spontaneous reporting patterns to VAERS and data quality.”

The analysis of VSD data showed that “to date, no clustering of tinnitus diagnoses have been observed post-vaccination,” she added.

Katherine Yih, PhD, leads analyses of VSD data to monitor vaccine safety. She’s an assistant professor at the Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute’s Department of Population Medicine and receives funding from the CDC.

Ms. Yih informed CDC officials on Sept. 29, 2022, that analyses of VSD data turned up “statistically significant temporal clusters” for tinnitus following receipt of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, another email obtained by The Epoch Times shows. Both vaccines utilize messenger RNA (mRNA) technology.

“Both strongest clusters for the mRNA vaccines start around 12-13 days after when dose 2 would likely have been received,” she said. “The relative risks are quite low and certainly it’s hard to see anything on visual inspection of the graphs, especially for Moderna, so this seems to be a subtle effect if it is truly a VAE, unless you’re one of the unlucky ones who got tinnitus.”

VAE stands for vaccine adverse event.

Ms. Yih told the officials they could discuss the matter during an upcoming call.
Tara Haelle, the reporter who contacted the CDC about VSD and tinnitus, asked for an interview with one of the officials, Dr. Tom Shimabukuro, in August 2022, after a study found “overwhelming statistical support in VAERS” for tinnitus being a possible side effect of the mRNA shots.

Ms. Sharan informed Ms. Haelle that the VSD analysis did not show any clustering of tinnitus after COVID-19 vaccination. In a follow-up email on Sept. 29, 2022, attributed to Dr. Shimabukuro, he repeated the statement.

Hours later, Ms. Yih alerted Dr. Shimabukuro and others to the clustering that was found.

The CDC appears to have never alerted Ms. Haelle, or the general public, to the discovery.

Dr. Shimabukuro wanted to delay the interview, Ms. Sharan added soon after, because the CDC was going to conduct additional analyses of VSD data. The analyses would be done “relatively soon,” according to Dr. Shimabukuro.
On Nov. 10, 2022, Ms. Sharan told Ms. Haelle that “vaccine safety monitoring efforts in CDC have identified no evidence of a causal association between COVID-19 vaccination and tinnitus or other hearing loss,” conveying a statement from Dr. John Su, another CDC official, and that the VSD analysis was “in progress.”

On Dec. 19, 2022, Ms. Yih sent an “outline of tinnitus exploration” to Dr. Shimabukuro and other officials. The “outline for a possible report on COVID vaccination and tinnitus” was created at the request of one of the other officials, she said. Large portions of that and other emails were redacted.
On Dec. 16, 2022, results from analyses of the VSD data were published. The study, co-authored by Ms. Yih and others, did not mention tinnitus. Ms. Yih did not respond to a request for comment.

On Jan. 8, 2023, Ms. Sharan told Ms. Haelle that the CDC “doesn’t have enough evidence to justify an epidemiologic study on tinnitus in VSD.”

Despite Ms. Haelle’s efforts, the CDC refused to provide the results of its analyses.
Ms. Haelle’s article was published on Feb. 21, 2023. Ms. Haelle, who did not respond to an inquiry, wrote that the CDC said it “found no evidence that tinnitus diagnoses were clustered together following vaccination but hasn’t published that analysis and declined to share the preliminary report.”
“If the CDC had found a statistically significant link to tinnitus, it could have taken steps to add an official warning to the vaccine labels,” she added later.
Other Countries Find Link
Other researchers and countries have identified a link between tinnitus and COVID-19 vaccines.
U.S. researchers, for example, said in early 2022 that VAERS data “suggest an association” between the vaccines and tinnitus.
Australian and South Korean researchers later reported finding that vaccinated people faced an increased risk of tinnitus, including people who received a Moderna or Pfizer vaccine.
Some other papers, on the other hand, such as one from the United States, have not found an increase in tinnitus after COVID-19 vaccination.

Due to increasing evidence of a link, the European Medicines Agency added tinnitus to the labels for the AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines. Tinnitus may affect up to one in 1,000 people after the shots, according to the agency.

Australian regulators have also placed tinnitus on the labels for the AstraZeneca and Novavax COVID-19 vaccines. The AstraZeneca shot has never been authorized in the United States.

The method by which the vaccines may cause the condition remains unconfirmed.
Drs. Christian Rausch and Qun-Ying Yue of the Uppsala Monitoring Centre have proposed that the vestibulocochlear nerve may be involved. Others have postulated inflammation being the culprit. Treatments include ivermectin and ganglion blocks.

I don't doubt it since they damage every organ in your body.

Don't know about the Covid vaccine, but tinnitus is a known side effect of hydroxychloroquine.

the jab will make your penis 500% bigger, so what if it rings your ears? (anal leakage and penis amputation is included in the jab :o)

I think it causes ingrown toenails too!!!!!!!!! Aspirin and most NSAID's will lead to ringing in one's ears also.

A covid shot gives you an autoimmune disease. It modifies the genes in your own cells so they will produce a toxin that damages every cell in your body. The more covid shots and boosters (a mega covid shot) you get the more the damage you get. There's no evidence that your body ever stops producing this toxin. There is no actual covid virus in the covid shots like there is in the proven vaccines that give you real immunity.

The reason you didn’t know is because the CDC hid the information from you. Just in case.

This should be all anyone ever needs to know about trusting anything the CDC says and/or supports...

Filings show all but five political donations from CDC employees since 2015 have gone to Democrats

By
Dominick Mastrangelo

July 18, 2020 2:37 pm

The majority of political contributions made by employees of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention since 2015 have gone to Democratic candidates or causes, federal election records show.

Donors who list the CDC as their employer have made more than 8,000 contributions totaling over $285,000 to various political campaigns or organizations. An analysis by the Daily Caller News Foundation found only five contributions were sent to a Republican political action committee or candidate, totaling just over $1,000. Only three people donated to President Trump’s 2016 campaign.

Since the coronavirus pandemic began, Trump has been sharply critical of the CDC, casting doubt on the data the agency keeps about the outbreak and publicly breaking with guidelines it set forth for reopening schools in the fall.

“I disagree with @CDCgov on their very tough & expensive guidelines for opening schools. While they want them open, they are asking schools to do very impractical things,” Trump tweeted on July 8. “I will be meeting with them!!!”

“In Germany, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and many other countries, SCHOOLS ARE OPEN WITH NO PROBLEMS,” Trump also said. “The Dems think it would be bad for them politically if U.S. schools open before the November Election, but is important for the children & families. May cut off funding if not open!”

Advocates for reopening schools fully for in-person learning five days a week have cited a recent study from the American Academy of Pediatrics, which lists a number of risks related to keeping students home instead.

“The importance of in-person learning is well-documented, and there is already evidence of the negative impacts on children because of school closures in the spring of 2020,” the organization said in recent guidance it issued late last month. “Lengthy time away from school and associated interruption of supportive services often results in social isolation, making it difficult for schools to identify and address important learning deficits as well as child and adolescent physical or sexual abuse, substance use, depression, and suicidal ideation.”

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s leading infectious disease doctor, said local governments should adhere to public health guidelines as they prepare to reopen.

“The basic fundamental goal would be as you possibly can to get the children back to school and use the public health efforts as a tool to help the children get back to school,” Fauci said during a hearing before Congress on June 30.

After Trump criticized the CDC guidelines for reopening schools, Dr. Robert Redfield said last week he has no plans to change them.

“Our guidelines are our guidelines,” he said. “It’s really important. It’s not a revision of the guidelines. It’s just to provide additional information to help schools be able to use the guidance that we put forward.”

Rep. Bobby Scott, the chairman of the House Education and Labor Committee, said the White House is blocking all CDC officials, including Redfield, from testifying before his panel.

CDC Employees Made More Than 8,000 Federal Contributions To PACs And Politicians Since 2015. Only 5 Went To Republican Causes, FEC Records Show

Spencer Landis - Contributor

July 17, 2020 4:24 PM ET

Out of more than 8,000 federal contributions from over 550 CDC employees since 2015, only five went to Republican PACs or candidates.

The vast majority of donations went to ActBlue, an online fundraising platform for Democratic and left-leaning organizations. Other common recipients included Bernie 2020, Biden for President, Hillary for America, and Warren for President, Inc.

Employee contributions include those from epidemiologists, public health advisors, economists, physicians and health communication specialists working at both the Atlanta and Washington offices.

Employees at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have made more than 8,000 contributions totaling over $285,000 to Democratic candidates and causes since 2015, according to a Daily Caller News Foundation analysis of political contributions.

Only five contributions were sent to a Republican PAC or candidate. Out of these five contributions, which totaled just over $1,000, three sent money to President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign efforts, Federal Election Commission (FEC) records indicate.

The contributions were made by more than 550 people who listed the CDC as their employer on FEC forms. The contributors serve at various levels of management, ranging from nurses and information technology personnel to epidemiologists, public health advisors and the chief financial officer.

The CDC did not respond to a request for comment from the DCNF.
WASHINGTON, DC - JULY 08: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Robert Redfield speaks as U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos and Vice President Mike Pence listen during a White House Coronavirus Task Force press briefing at the U.S. Department of Education July 8, 2020 in Washington, DC.

The most common recipient was ActBlue, an online fundraising platform for Democratic and left-leaning organizations. (RELATED: ‘Grassroots Support For Joe’: Biden Campaign Announces Massive June Haul)

Other common recipients included Bernie 2020, Biden for President, Hillary for America, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and Warren for President, Inc.

Aside from supporting specific candidates, employees also donated money to progressive organizations like Indivisible Action, which seeks to “elect progressive leaders, rebuild our democracy, and defeat the Trump agenda.”

After the World Health Organization declared coronavirus a global pandemic on March 11, 2020, the total amount of money employees contributed to left-leaning causes by the end of the month was nearly three times higher than the previous five-year average. In addition, the total amount of contributions more than doubled compared to the previous five-year monthly average.

From March 11-31, employees donated nearly $8,000 through 158 contributions. During the same time span from 2015-2019, employees made an average of 69 contributions averaging $2,700 in total.

In recent weeks, tensions between Trump and the CDC have elevated over CDC guidelines on reopening schools in the fall.

I disagree with @CDCgov on their very tough & expensive guidelines for opening schools. While they want them open, they are asking schools to do very impractical things. I will be meeting with them!!!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 8, 2020

Trump also retweeted conservative television personality Chuck Woolery’s tweet Monday claiming that “Everyone is lying” about coronavirus, including the CDC, according to Newsweek.

The most outrageous lies are the ones about Covid 19. Everyone is lying. The CDC, Media, Democrats, our Doctors, not all but most ,that we are told to trust. I think it’s all about the election and keeping the economy from coming back, which is about the election. I’m sick of it.

— Chuck Woolery (@chuckwoolery) July 13, 2020

Trump defended his retweet of Woolery’s comments in an interview Tuesday with CBS News correspondent Catherine Herridge, The Hill reports.

“I reposted a tweet that a lot of people feel. But all I am doing is making a comment. I’m just putting somebody’s voice out there. There are many voices,” Trump said.

Woolery has since deactivated his Twitter account after tweeting that his son tested positive for coronavirus Wednesday, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Betsy DeVos said Sunday on CNN that “the key is that kids have to get back to school.” When asked by anchor Dana Bash whether schools should follow CDC recommendations, DeVos responded that “Dr. Redfield has clearly said these are recommendations, and every situation is going to look slightly different.”

Those are just the little guys. The big guys are the pharmaceutical companies.

Imo the Covíd shots are poison in your body somewhere down the road it's going to cause problems.

If tinnitus was the only worry from the death shot, it would be pretty nice lol. Instead, you have clots, sudden death, untreatable cancers, immune system failing and so on. The death penalty should be dealt to those who knew this stuff and still shoved it down societies throat

There are at least ten genres of drugs that may cause tinnitus.

Analgesics
Aminoglycoside antibiotics
Chemotherapy drugs
Loop diuretics
Anti-malaria medications
Antidepressants
Benzodiazepines
Accutane
Beta blockers
ACE inhibitors

Since these faux covid vaccines have been known to precipitate auto-immune diseases,then it stands to reason they could cause Ménière’s disease. Tinnitus can be a symptom of Ménière’s disease, an inner ear disorder that can also cause balance problems.

Noise exposure,hearing loss,ear infections and head or neck injuries may also cause tinnitus.

They don't know what the don't know. It will be another 10yrs-if at all- we find out the long term effects of this stuff.

We know enough already,that any person with a modicum of common sense,would never allow themselves or any loved one to be injected with these poison shots.

I'm glad I didn't take the so called vaccine. The vaccine sure seems to be fertilizer for cancer. My primary care doctor said I should consider taking the vaccine because I have COPD. I asked her if she was me would she take the vaccine and thankfully she was straight up with me. My ears have been ringing for over 50 years.... shooting a box of 44mag without hearing protection will do that....or maybe it was running GM diesels in my boats.

Nothing is wrong you just don't like facts. How many covid shots did you get?

You still trust the CDC????

The CDC is corrupt to the core. FDA, NIAD, DOJ, FBI, CIA, IRS, Homeland Security, ATF ... hell, every big government agency is compromised at this point.

We're not in Kansas any more.

Seems obvious ^^^^

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and its partners uncovered signs that the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines might cause the persistent condition called tinnitus but never disclosed the findings to the public, The Epoch Times can report.
The signs were found while analyzing data from the CDC’s Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD), which has been described as one of the stronger CDC surveillance systems because it utilizes health care records.

The detection of the signs came just after the CDC told a reporter that there were no signs of large numbers of cases of tinnitus, which commonly manifests as a constant ringing in the head, following COVID-19 vaccination, documents obtained by The Epoch Times show.

The CDC never updated the reporter, whose story reported that the CDC had not found a clustering of cases.

The CDC declined to comment.

The documents “prove that they were aware of a safety signal of tinnitus after the COVID-19 shots as early as 2022,” Dr. Joel Wallskog, co-chair of the advocacy group React19, told The Epoch Times via email. “However, to my knowledge, this safety signal was never communicated to the public and no further epidemiological study on tinnitus in VSD was ever completed.”
The Epoch Times obtained the documents through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.
Previous requests have yielded other evidence the CDC knew about possible safety problems with the COVID-19 vaccines but did not alert the public. That includes the detection in May 2022 of a safety signal for tinnitus and the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, in an analysis of data from another CDC system, which is based on reports filed by doctors and others.
“As time passes and more FOIA requests are executed, how many more safety signals will we learn about that the CDC knew about years ago? When does this nightmare end? When will the American public know the whole truth and nothing but the truth? Is the CDC evil or incompetent? Or maybe both,” Dr. Wallskog added.
Detection
A CDC spokeswoman, according to one of the emails obtained by The Epoch Times, told a reporter on Sept. 21, 2022, that the CDC was aware of reports of tinnitus after COVID-19 vaccination lodged with the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). That CDC-run system accepts reports from anybody, although most are filed by health care workers.

“Because so many people have been vaccinated, and because tinnitus is so common in the population, temporally-associated cases are expected, with some expected to occur shortly after vaccination,” Martha Sharan, the spokeswoman, said.

The CDC opted to explore potential links in VSD.

“Unlike VAERS, which relies primarily on voluntary reports ... the VSD uses data from electronic health records,” Ms. Sharan said. “Consequently, the VSD data are less likely to be affected by the reporting biases and other biases that impact spontaneous reporting patterns to VAERS and data quality.”

The analysis of VSD data showed that “to date, no clustering of tinnitus diagnoses have been observed post-vaccination,” she added.

Katherine Yih, PhD, leads analyses of VSD data to monitor vaccine safety. She’s an assistant professor at the Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute’s Department of Population Medicine and receives funding from the CDC.

Ms. Yih informed CDC officials on Sept. 29, 2022, that analyses of VSD data turned up “statistically significant temporal clusters” for tinnitus following receipt of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, another email obtained by The Epoch Times shows. Both vaccines utilize messenger RNA (mRNA) technology.

“Both strongest clusters for the mRNA vaccines start around 12-13 days after when dose 2 would likely have been received,” she said. “The relative risks are quite low and certainly it’s hard to see anything on visual inspection of the graphs, especially for Moderna, so this seems to be a subtle effect if it is truly a VAE, unless you’re one of the unlucky ones who got tinnitus.”

VAE stands for vaccine adverse event.

Ms. Yih told the officials they could discuss the matter during an upcoming call.
Tara Haelle, the reporter who contacted the CDC about VSD and tinnitus, asked for an interview with one of the officials, Dr. Tom Shimabukuro, in August 2022, after a study found “overwhelming statistical support in VAERS” for tinnitus being a possible side effect of the mRNA shots.

Ms. Sharan informed Ms. Haelle that the VSD analysis did not show any clustering of tinnitus after COVID-19 vaccination. In a follow-up email on Sept. 29, 2022, attributed to Dr. Shimabukuro, he repeated the statement.

Hours later, Ms. Yih alerted Dr. Shimabukuro and others to the clustering that was found.

The CDC appears to have never alerted Ms. Haelle, or the general public, to the discovery.

Dr. Shimabukuro wanted to delay the interview, Ms. Sharan added soon after, because the CDC was going to conduct additional analyses of VSD data. The analyses would be done “relatively soon,” according to Dr. Shimabukuro.
On Nov. 10, 2022, Ms. Sharan told Ms. Haelle that “vaccine safety monitoring efforts in CDC have identified no evidence of a causal association between COVID-19 vaccination and tinnitus or other hearing loss,” conveying a statement from Dr. John Su, another CDC official, and that the VSD analysis was “in progress.”

On Dec. 19, 2022, Ms. Yih sent an “outline of tinnitus exploration” to Dr. Shimabukuro and other officials. The “outline for a possible report on COVID vaccination and tinnitus” was created at the request of one of the other officials, she said. Large portions of that and other emails were redacted.
On Dec. 16, 2022, results from analyses of the VSD data were published. The study, co-authored by Ms. Yih and others, did not mention tinnitus. Ms. Yih did not respond to a request for comment.

On Jan. 8, 2023, Ms. Sharan told Ms. Haelle that the CDC “doesn’t have enough evidence to justify an epidemiologic study on tinnitus in VSD.”

Despite Ms. Haelle’s efforts, the CDC refused to provide the results of its analyses.
Ms. Haelle’s article was published on Feb. 21, 2023. Ms. Haelle, who did not respond to an inquiry, wrote that the CDC said it “found no evidence that tinnitus diagnoses were clustered together following vaccination but hasn’t published that analysis and declined to share the preliminary report.”
“If the CDC had found a statistically significant link to tinnitus, it could have taken steps to add an official warning to the vaccine labels,” she added later.
Other Countries Find Link
Other researchers and countries have identified a link between tinnitus and COVID-19 vaccines.
U.S. researchers, for example, said in early 2022 that VAERS data “suggest an association” between the vaccines and tinnitus.
Australian and South Korean researchers later reported finding that vaccinated people faced an increased risk of tinnitus, including people who received a Moderna or Pfizer vaccine.
Some other papers, on the other hand, such as one from the United States, have not found an increase in tinnitus after COVID-19 vaccination.

Due to increasing evidence of a link, the European Medicines Agency added tinnitus to the labels for the AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines. Tinnitus may affect up to one in 1,000 people after the shots, according to the agency.

Australian regulators have also placed tinnitus on the labels for the AstraZeneca and Novavax COVID-19 vaccines. The AstraZeneca shot has never been authorized in the United States.

The method by which the vaccines may cause the condition remains unconfirmed.
Drs. Christian Rausch and Qun-Ying Yue of the Uppsala Monitoring Centre have proposed that the vestibulocochlear nerve may be involved. Others have postulated inflammation being the culprit. Treatments include ivermectin and ganglion blocks.

I was sick with the Delta variant and woke up on like the 6th day with tinnitus. this was in august of 2021, its been with me every since. I have never been vaxxed. I think there is some overlap from getting the actual disease and issues caused by the vax. I think they both can be the cause. It was very very hard time for me that took me a very very long time to learn to live with. It was some of the darkest times of my life. The CEO of Texas roadhouse got the same thing and ended up putting a bullet in his head over it.

on most days it doesn't bother me much, some days it does more than others. Some days I don't hear it at all. the longer time goes the better I deal with it. I have excellent hearing for my age. hearing doctor said I am about equal to someone in their late 20's. He also detected a small amount of coquiler damage. You don't get over tinnitus, you learn to live with it.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and its partners uncovered signs that the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines might cause the persistent condition called tinnitus but never disclosed the findings to the public, The Epoch Times can report.
The signs were found while analyzing data from the CDC’s Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD), which has been described as one of the stronger CDC surveillance systems because it utilizes health care records.

The detection of the signs came just after the CDC told a reporter that there were no signs of large numbers of cases of tinnitus, which commonly manifests as a constant ringing in the head, following COVID-19 vaccination, documents obtained by The Epoch Times show.

The CDC never updated the reporter, whose story reported that the CDC had not found a clustering of cases.

The CDC declined to comment.

The documents “prove that they were aware of a safety signal of tinnitus after the COVID-19 shots as early as 2022,” Dr. Joel Wallskog, co-chair of the advocacy group React19, told The Epoch Times via email. “However, to my knowledge, this safety signal was never communicated to the public and no further epidemiological study on tinnitus in VSD was ever completed.”
The Epoch Times obtained the documents through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.
Previous requests have yielded other evidence the CDC knew about possible safety problems with the COVID-19 vaccines but did not alert the public. That includes the detection in May 2022 of a safety signal for tinnitus and the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, in an analysis of data from another CDC system, which is based on reports filed by doctors and others.
“As time passes and more FOIA requests are executed, how many more safety signals will we learn about that the CDC knew about years ago? When does this nightmare end? When will the American public know the whole truth and nothing but the truth? Is the CDC evil or incompetent? Or maybe both,” Dr. Wallskog added.
Detection
A CDC spokeswoman, according to one of the emails obtained by The Epoch Times, told a reporter on Sept. 21, 2022, that the CDC was aware of reports of tinnitus after COVID-19 vaccination lodged with the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). That CDC-run system accepts reports from anybody, although most are filed by health care workers.

“Because so many people have been vaccinated, and because tinnitus is so common in the population, temporally-associated cases are expected, with some expected to occur shortly after vaccination,” Martha Sharan, the spokeswoman, said.

The CDC opted to explore potential links in VSD.

“Unlike VAERS, which relies primarily on voluntary reports ... the VSD uses data from electronic health records,” Ms. Sharan said. “Consequently, the VSD data are less likely to be affected by the reporting biases and other biases that impact spontaneous reporting patterns to VAERS and data quality.”

The analysis of VSD data showed that “to date, no clustering of tinnitus diagnoses have been observed post-vaccination,” she added.

Katherine Yih, PhD, leads analyses of VSD data to monitor vaccine safety. She’s an assistant professor at the Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute’s Department of Population Medicine and receives funding from the CDC.

Ms. Yih informed CDC officials on Sept. 29, 2022, that analyses of VSD data turned up “statistically significant temporal clusters” for tinnitus following receipt of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, another email obtained by The Epoch Times shows. Both vaccines utilize messenger RNA (mRNA) technology.

“Both strongest clusters for the mRNA vaccines start around 12-13 days after when dose 2 would likely have been received,” she said. “The relative risks are quite low and certainly it’s hard to see anything on visual inspection of the graphs, especially for Moderna, so this seems to be a subtle effect if it is truly a VAE, unless you’re one of the unlucky ones who got tinnitus.”

VAE stands for vaccine adverse event.

Ms. Yih told the officials they could discuss the matter during an upcoming call.
Tara Haelle, the reporter who contacted the CDC about VSD and tinnitus, asked for an interview with one of the officials, Dr. Tom Shimabukuro, in August 2022, after a study found “overwhelming statistical support in VAERS” for tinnitus being a possible side effect of the mRNA shots.

Ms. Sharan informed Ms. Haelle that the VSD analysis did not show any clustering of tinnitus after COVID-19 vaccination. In a follow-up email on Sept. 29, 2022, attributed to Dr. Shimabukuro, he repeated the statement.

Killed himself over tinnitus? Wtf. Ive had it for almost 20 years now. Wrecked my hearing working in a very loud shop. Never once ever even thought about not living anymore lol. Wtf is wrong with people? Sleep with a loud fan at night and it drowns it out. Not life wrecking by any means

There's more items than that ...EMF from all the Bluetooth stuff we use causes it, at least it did for me. My EC/BC practitioner was able to clean me of that crap...thank goodness.

Spike Proteins cause a plethora of issues...I'm encouraging everyone at work to get their booster so I can move up in seniority.

Not for me

Didn't get the shot so I don't know but the first time I got Covid the tinnitus I've had for 30 years went through the roof for about 6 months after I got over the virus. I'd say my baseline tinnitus is a 3/10 after Covid it was an easy 7, drive me nuts.

There is no actual covid virus in the covid shots like there is in the proven vaccines that give you real immunity.

Is there reverse transcriptase involved so that the mRNA in the shot is not only read by the body (to construct the poison protein you reference) but then to also convert from mRNA to DNA, altering your genes, and becoming part of your genome?

Eff the vacc, I wouldnt take that crap if they paid me, but the talk of becoming part of your genes would require an interesting enzyme.

I thought it made me fart less but I think it just ruined my hearing and sense of smell. I've had tinnitus ever since the clot shot nearly killed me. I'm still angry at myself for getting it.

I've had tinnitus for over 55 years. It got real bad after shooting a buddy's newly acquired .357 magnum in a silage bunker w/o hearing protection. Not good. LONG before covid and the accompanying fakecines.

Well, in my case, as a teenager, shooting a full house .44 Mag revolver, lying prone on a bluff overlooking the Red River, shooting turtles in the water, I could feel the muzzle blast off the ground and my ears started ringing. Of course, no hearing protection as a youngster, what was that? So, I've had some tinnitus for decades.

Now much later, after getting pressured into taking Covid shots, I developed Ramsey Hunt syndrome, a known side effect. It's the combo of Bell's Palsy and Shingles. It happen on the left side of my face. My eye doc prescribed large doses of Prednisone and my Physical Therapy bud had another treatment. He dry needled those paralyzed muscles, stimulated them with electrical impulses three times a week. I was over it in a week. My eye doctor was amazed how quick I recovered. When the nerves start recovering, the muscles are generally flaccid and weak. Use it or lose it. Mine weren't that far behind due to being stimulated, so recovery was faster than expected. I told my P.T. bud that I was pimping his Bells Palsy protocol to the eye doc. In fact that doc did refer some Bells Palsy patients for that same treatment.

So, there's a lot of stuff we are learning about this whole mRNA scenario.

I had Covid in January and got tinnitus pretty bad for a month. I have also been on hydroxychloroquine for 3 years. At this point I am in the “who the [bleep] knows” camp. My ears also ring when I take a good dose of muscle relaxant when the back flares up.

My ears ring when people remind me I have tinnitus.

flight crew on jayhawks and lots of shooting. That did it for me.

There was study where in vitro they were able to get reverse transcription to occur with the vaccine mRNA in cancerous human liver cells. However, according to the authors of the study this was far from the natural environment in a human body and presented no evidence that it occurs with vaccination. Reverse transcription has not been observed in a human and addressing how unlikely this would be was part of the approval process for the vaccine.

There is some possibility that the virus RNA itself (when you get infected) can reverse to our DNA. Still pretty speculative from what I’ve read, but some people test positive for the virus long after the infection and this could be evidence of that.

Just for sh*ts and giggles google “how much of the human genome came from viruses”
Kind of interesting and amazing.

I imagine many people on this site have it. People didn’t use to be as careful about hearing protection when shooting firearms. Also, a lot of people where in the military and the machinery of war I can cause damage to the ears real fast.

No but it make your winkie get real long!

HE SAID WAX !!!! NOT VAX. Clean your fuggin ears!

I think my tinnitus started after being put on Levaquin type antibiotics for pneumonia. This was nearly 20 years ago before it was linked to Achiles rupture, which I suffered 2-3 years after being given the antibiotics. The covid did cause more hearing loss in my right ear. I didn’t get the BS shots. The providers I trust knew something wasn’t kosher with the whole narrative as well as I did. Whether you feel it was nefariously done, optimistically naive or with good intentions. It was all BS.

Ever since I had covid the first time I can hear my pulse in my right ear.

I think it matters alot on the context and how it comes on for people. YES lots of people have it, I think very few people wake up one morning and its there and never stops for them again. for people that have been exposed to loud noise and had a more gradual loss of hearing and its come on over time. I think that is much easier to deal with and I don't hear about it being a big deal for many. Try waking up with it suddenly one morning. I understand why the texas roadhouse guy checked out. It was a hellashious time for me.

if you go to the ear doctor they will give you a questionaire that asks how you're feeling including if you have suicidal thoughts. It can be very very difficult for some people. there isn't a cure for it, you just gotta get used to it. the more you worry about it the worse it gets.

I was prescribed Levaquin for a sinus infection and soon after I partially detached the bicep tendons in both arms followed by detached/ruptured tendons in my left shoulder. All the drugs on my "do not prescribe" list are antibiotics.

Not for me. I had the issue decades before covid was invented. I think mine came from 4 years of being around jets and occasionally caught without my mouse ears on the line. When tested coming out of the service, I was advised to not waste any funds on high end stereo gear.

My version sounds like a field full of crickets. To me, that's a fairly pleasant background.

Mine sounds like cicadas, very loud cicadas. It dawned on me one night in the backyard. When I realized cicadas aren’t out in November. The volume was equal to what most people have their television set at. I noticed I hadn’t heard a bluejay cry in the woods in years. I couldn’t hear turkeys gobbling if they were over a 100 yards away. Every night I sat on the edge of the bed playing my electric guitar unplugged. When I went got tested finally I found out I had lost 60% high frequency and 30% low frequency. The first evening I got hearing aids I was shocked how loud the unplugged electric guitar was. My wife always laid on the other side of the bed reading. I asked why she never said anything about how loud the guitar was. She said she just ignored it. I started playing in another room after that. The next morning when I walked outside. The amount of bird noises I heard sounded like Alfred Hitchcocks The birds. Amazing how much I missed out the years not knowing.
I tell all my friends, go to Costco and get tested.
