Study that reportedly found reduction in ER visits and hospitalizations being reviewed by Jay Bhattacharya
A Trump administration appointee has delayed publication of a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report that shows benefits related to the Covid vaccine, leading to concerns that the administration is engaging in behind-the-scenes tactics to undermine vaccines.
Research by CDC scientists found that the Covid vaccine cut the likelihood of emergency room visits and hospitalizations for healthy adults last winter by about half, according to https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/04/09/covid-vaccine-report-delayed/">reporting from the Washington Post.
The acting CDC director, Jay Bhattacharya, reportedly delayed the report’s publication due to concerns surrounding the research’s methodology.
