Bombshell reporting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/health\/2026\/04\/09\/covid-vaccine-report-delayed\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">from the <em>Washington Post<\/em><\/a> just revealed that Jay Bhattacharya, the acting director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, has secretly blocked publication of a report that concludes COVID-19 vaccines are a significant boost to public health.<br \/>Two CDC scientists, speaking to <em>WaPo<\/em> anonymously out of fear for retaliation, said the report found that COVID vaccines drastically minimize risk of hospitalization after catching the virus. According to the study, healthy adults who received a jab reduced their risk of urgent care visits by 50 percent, and their risk of a hospital stay by 55 percent, compared to those who went unvaccinated.<br \/>The report had been slated to run on March 19 in the CDC&#8217;s research journal, the <em>Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report<\/em>. Bhattacharya, however, delayed the piece, arguing that there were concerns with the study&#8217;s methodology.<br \/>&#8220;Dr. Bhattacharya wants to make sure that the paper uses the most appropriate methodology for such a study,&#8221; Andrew Nixon, a spokesperson for the Department of Health and Human Services told the paper. <br \/>As <em>WaPo<\/em> notes, a similar report using the exact same methodology to study the common flu vaccine <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/mmwr\/volumes\/75\/wr\/mm7509a2.htm\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">ran in <em>MMWR<\/em><\/a> a week earlier.<br \/>The episode is incredibly fishy, following the playbook of HHS secretary and infamous <a href=\"https:\/\/kffhealthnews.org\/morning-breakout\/anti-vaccine-group-founded-by-rfk-jr-calls-for-covid-shots-to-be-pulled\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">vaccine skeptic<\/a> RFK Jr, who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.poynter.org\/fact-checking\/2021\/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">previously called<\/a> the COVID shot the &#8220;deadliest vaccine ever made.&#8221; In 2025, the Food and Drug Administration, a sub-agency of the HHS, moved to <a href=\"https:\/\/futurism.com\/neoscope\/trump-fda-limiting-covid-vaccines\">greatly limit access<\/a> to the vaccine.<br \/>&#8220;The secretary has already taken steps to try and remove the availability of the vaccine from children and others,&#8221; former CDC safety director Daniel Jernigan told <em>WaPo<\/em>. &#8220;So if you&#8217;re putting out an <em>MMWR <\/em>that the vaccine is effective at preventing hospitalizations and medical care visits&#8230; that message is not line with the direction you&#8217;ve been taking with the removal of the vaccine.&#8221;<br \/>It&#8217;s only the latest in a laundry list of antivaxx moves by the HHS since Donald Trump appointed RFK to his current role.<br \/>Late in 2025, it was revealed that RFK&#8217;s HHS was planning a monstrous vaccine study which would have intentionally withheld <a href=\"https:\/\/futurism.com\/health-medicine\/trump-rfk-africa-vaccines\">hepatitis B vaccines<\/a> from 7,000 newborn children in the West African nation of Guinea-Bissau. The purpose for the trial, <a href=\"https:\/\/insidemedicine.substack.com\/p\/scoop-the-leaked-protocol-of-the\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">medical experts argued<\/a>, was for Donald Trump&#8217;s political appointees to make a &#8220;spurious association&#8221; between a well established vaccine and vaguely defined neurological problems.<br \/>&#8220;He [RFK Jr] has a fixed, immutable belief that vaccines cause harm,&#8221; Paul Offit, director of the Vaccine Education Center and an attending physician at Children&#8217;s Hospital of Philadelphia <a
