   A U.S. senator is asking the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
   (CDC) to clear up conflicting statements on whether a specific method of
   COVID-19 vaccine safety research is being conducted.

   Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) asked CDC Director Rochelle Walensky for
   details after The Epoch Times reported that Dr. John Su, a CDC doctor,
   claimed that the CDC has been performing Proportional Reporting Ratio
   analyses on data from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System since
   February 2021.

   That conflicted with the CDC telling the nonprofit Children's Health
   Defense that it not only did not conduct the analyses but that the method
   "is outside of th[e] agency's purview."

   "CDC’s assertion and Dr. Su’s statement cannot both be true," Johnson
   told Walensky in a new letter, released on July 26 and dated July 25.

   "The American people deserve the truth and you have not been providing it.
   That is why I, together with millions of Americans, have completely lost
   faith in the CDC and other federal health agencies. It is time to start
   regaining their confidence and your agency’s integrity by coming clean,
   being transparent, and telling the truth," Johnson wrote.

   He asked for Walensky to immediately respond to a letter he sent before
   requesting information on the CDC's vaccine safety research. He also
   requested she confirm whether Dr. Su's statement is true and if it is, why
   the CDC claimed it had not conducted the analyses.

   And if Dr. Su's statement is accurate, Johnson wants all of the
   Proportional Reporting Ratio analyses that the CDC has performed since
   February 2021.

   Finally, Johnson asked for Dr. Su to be made available for an interview
   with his office concerning the data examinations.

   The CDC and Walensky did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Background

   The CDC said in an operating procedures document dated Jan. 29, 2021, that
   it "will perform" Proportional Reporting Ratio (PRR), a type of data
   mining analysis that compares the counts of adverse event reports
   following vaccination with one vaccine to those that have been reported
   after receipt of another vaccine or vaccines.

   The same language was included in an updated document released in
   February.

   But in a recent response to a Freedom of Information Act request from
   Children's Health Defense, CDC records officer Roger Andoh said he spoke
   with the CDC's Immunization and Safety Office, which informed him "that no
   PRRs were conducted by the CDC."

   “Furthermore, data mining is outside of th[e] agency’s purview," Andoh
   added.

   Dr. Su heads the CDC's Immunization and Safety Office.

   A CDC spokesperson defended the agency's vaccine safety monitoring efforts
   in an earlier email to The Epoch Times, noting that the agencies detected
   post-vaccination heart inflammation and blood clotting in the summer of
   2021.
