A recent spike in post-COVID-19 vaccination death reports is not accurate, and was caused by mistake, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The CDC said Friday that a passive reporting system it runs with the Food and Drug Administration had received 12,313 death reports among people who took the vaccine, a sharp increase from previous reports that counted the number at 6,079, according to The Epoch Times.
"It is double what it was yesterday, and so it definitely is incorrect," a CDC spokeswoman told the Times. "We checked our stats internally, and it's only 6,000. So someone doing an update misrepresented that or made a mistake, in other words."
The spokeswoman said the group caught the mistake Wednesday morning, and added that the error is "being worked out." She did not say when the error would be fixed or what caused the sudden false reports.

Oh, they caught it Wednesday!
Someone tell the president and the governor of California.
Did it qualify as misinformation?
I think your seeded article qualified.
Its claim come from the Epoch times, who's statement came from another source, yet none of these sources bothered linking to the actual CDC statement.
So I did a search for this statement and came up with nothing. Vic, since you are the seeder, and from your statement support the article, can you find the actual CDC statement and link it?
I doubt it since the story is based on a CDC spokeswoman speaking to The Epoch Times. Maybe the CDC will make some kind of announcement.
Okay.... Who was the spokeswoman? I did not see her name listed in either article.
Who were the hundreds of New York Times unnamed sources? Suddenly your'e curious.
Deflection.
more like silence
No, I was talking to you regarding the NY Times.
Okay, so you are seeding a story about:
I'm not saying this story is false, but it is at best hearsay with nothing to back it up.
New York Times has a reputation that allows them leeway on anonymous sources, and they research and provide additional facts to corroborate those stories. They don't rely entirely on 1 single anonymous statement.
Just like the New York Times did for 4 years.
They used to, but no longer. In the era of Trump they admitted that they were dedicated to activism, not the news.
The Covid-19 victims still crowding into our hospitals have one thing in common. They are unvaccinated!
And some states are reporting a spike in covid cases too. Especially among the unvaccinated. Then there's the risk from covid variants.
Florida reported close to 9,000 new cases yesterday and I expect that number to get higher.
I blame the anti-vaccers, anti-sciencers, and pretty much anyone too stupid and/or inconsiderate to not get the vaccine.
The logical people to blame are those in charge. The man who kept wearing a mask, long after he was vaccinated and the woman who said she couldn't trust it.
Ok, we'll blame Trump and by extension, his followers, since this all started with them. And we can also blame those who refuse/d to wear and/or distrusted masks, since such a position is completely irrational. But praise does belong to those who have been (or planning to be) vaccinated and those who wear masks and follow guidelines.
Of course you will. He got us the vaccines. If it was left up to the FDA we would still be waiting.
I will because he deserves the blame. He didn't get squat. Pfizer & Moderna got us the vaccines (thank you science). Trump merely played politician while he publicly argued with actual scientists dealing with a pandemic.
The logical people to blame are those who refuse to get vaccinated. PLUS everything Gordy said .
Unfortunately now there is a spike (the Delta variant) in all 50 states DUE TO THE UNVACCINATED.
They must get the Lion's share of the blame.
PLUS everything Gordy said .
Whatever he said?
It must also be taken into consideration that the unvaccinated, if they contract Covid, become walking laboratories for the virus to mutate into different variants. Hence, the delta (and possibly other) variant. The vaccines might have reduced efficacy or even be ineffective against new variants. Such a situation puts us all back to square 1. If people were only smart enough to listen to scientists rather than ignorant politicians at the beginning, we might not still be dealing with Covid as we are now. Including seeing a spike in new cases.
Was I not clear enough for you?
You mean your friend Tess, right?
She's the one who said whatever you said was right.
I'm sure our readers got it!
ALL OF THEM?
Do you want to tell us how many there are again?
We know!
Your reply inferred you didn't get what I said. Tess was kind enough to repeat what I said for you.
Nope. Her reply clearly stated that you were right - whatever you said"
I dodn't care how good a dancer you think you are, you can't dance your way out of that.
The only 1 dancing here is you Vic. You questioned what I said, "whatever he [Gordy] said?" Your words Vic. Tess simply repeated what I said to you.
In other obvious news, the sun set in the west last night. Why do a few people here at NT and outside of it keep emphasizing this rather obvious "not vaccinated" component?
Obviously it bears repeating .
Why? Is this some kind of new revelation? Don't be silly. Virtually , and 99.99% of everyone who died OF Covid wasn't vaccinated. It's a moot and boring talking point to what end? By now everyone knows they need to get the vaccination. Pointing out those in the hospital and those that are dying aren't vaccinated seems redundant. And it may sway some who were on the fence to get it but probably not what you and the other virtue signalers hope in numbers.
Gee, how did 6 out of 51 vaccinated people somehow contract Covid after congregating without masks?
You don't even know what 'virtue signaling' is yet you post that nonsense. Whatever JJ.
I explained it to your friend yesterday. Do you need a refresher cuz I'd be glad to help you out?
Just let me know. I'm here for you.
Don't need/want anything from you JJ. You don't have the ability to school me on any subject.
