"The CDC's statements don't pass the smell test and are themselves fraudulent." The author of an investigation into the omission of Covid-19 vaccines as a cause of death in Minnesota records responded to the denial of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) authorities.
Aaron Hertzberg posted earlier this month on the Brownstone Institute website that there was a discrepancy between the death certificates completed by the medical examiners and the data subsequently recorded by the CDC. Specifically, it lists cases in which medical professionals identified the Covid-19 vaccine as the cause of death, but then the public health agency either omitted this cause or attributed the deaths to the virus.
One of them was a 78-year-old man who died in 2021. The coroner wrote that he suffered a "sudden cardiac death." Under "other causes" he included both that the patient had received the second vaccine ten hours before death and that he had had Covid about eight months ago. Despite this, the CDC recorded infection and not vaccination as the cause of death.

CDC response
"The ICD-10 codes (used by the CDC to identify causes of death) in question pertain to adverse effects of vaccines, not vaccination per se," wrote Lisa George, CDC press officer, as can be read on Hertzberg's website.
Vaccination is not a disease or cause of death, so simple mention of the vaccine or vaccination without mention of adverse effects will not get coded.
George went on to point out that the investigation supported these claims, as only those cases in which coroners reported adverse effects were recorded as deaths from the vaccine, not the cases in which only vaccination was listed, such as the 78-year-old man mentioned above.
In another email to reporter Greg Piper included on the same website, Kristen Nordlund, a spokeswoman for the agency, wrote:
COVID-19 vaccines are undergoing the most intense safety monitoring in U.S. history. To date, CDC has not detected any unusual or unexpected patterns for deaths following immunization that would indicate that COVID vaccines are causing or contributing to deaths, outside of the nine confirmed TTS deaths following the Janssen vaccine.
The CDC is actually claiming that the only deaths linked to the covid vaccines are the 9 J&J deaths (!!!)@RMConservative @P_McCulloughMD @React19org @Storiesofinjury @EthicalSkeptic @justin_hart @AlexBerenson @JohnBeaudoinSr @SenRonJohnson @ichudov @sonia_elijah pic.twitter.com/oWxmc01xO1

A double standard that 'inflated' deaths from Covid
The CDC's responses evidence an "intent to deceive," John Beaudoin Sr. told Just The News.
Beaudoin participated in the analysis of the death certificates and filed a lawsuit against the state for allegedly issuing altered death certificates. In statements to the same media outlet, he explained that the health agency's response would be included in an affidavit in an attempt to have the case investigated by a grand jury.
Hertzberg, the author of the original report, tore apart and replied in detail to the official answers in his Substack. Among numerous criticisms, he claims that there is no real difference between vaccination and the side effects of vaccination.
CDC spokespersons claimed that they only considered cases where death certificates included side effects. However, Hertzberg argues that it is unreasonable to leave out of the record of deaths linked to vaccination cases in which the coroner wrote down data such as the proximity of getting vaccinated to death or that the patient had felt unwell after their last dose.
He pointed out that in general these professionals are under-trained to complete these types of documents, which are also not an exact science.
It is incomprehensible to pretend, as the CDC does, that the plain reference to vaccination as a COD is intended to convey that the decedent was vaccinated without any adverse reaction to the vaccine.
In addition, the researcher pointed out that the agency established a double standard when recording causes of death, especially when compared to Covid deaths, for which it reached a positive diagnosis at the time of death.
When it comes to vaccines, the CDC boldly adventures forth with the application of unique and novel standards segregating vaccines as a class of condition unto itself apart from all others.
To illustrate this alleged double standard, Hertzberg brings up the case of a man who died due to "complications of closed head injury," a blow to the head after a fall. However, since the deceased tested positive, the CDC recorded Covid as one of the causes of death.
