Is the CDC withholding information about deaths from COVID-19 vaccines?

The Centers for Disease Control maintains a database of initial reports of post-vaccine medical problems, and says that any discrepancies in reported totals were the result of data about foreign deaths incorrectly being included in the totals.

More than 50 million Americans had been vaccinated by mid-February. The CDC reported as of Feb. 23, 2021, it had received zero medical confirmation of any death caused by reaction to a COVID vaccine.

It is important to remember that VAERS does not determine if the vaccine caused the reported adverse event. While some reported adverse events may be caused by vaccination, others are not and may have occurred coincidentally. A CDC spokesman points out that the CDC follows up to get medical records, death certificates and autopsy reports to verify and better understand the adverse event.
