(Natural News)—What developed nation’s government would want their own people sick and dying? What country would suppress health information that would save millions of people from suffering, including the same people who stand up for the country, fight for freedom and independence, and support the Republic? You guessed it. The beloved U.S. of A.
Newly released documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request reveal that senior U.S. health officials mischaracterized early studies on COVID-19 immunity, downplayed evidence supporting natural immunity, and deliberately chose not to update public messaging because they feared it would be “too costly.”
- Misrepresentation of Studies: In August 2021, the CDC claimed vaccines offered better protection than prior infection, citing a Kentucky study. However, the study only evaluated vaccination benefits among previously infected individuals — not against natural immunity alone. Officials, including Francis Collins and Anthony Fauci, promoted this misleading conclusion publicly.
- Suppression of Contradictory Evidence: Shortly after, U.S. officials privately acknowledged an Israeli study showing that natural immunity from prior infection provided stronger and longer-lasting protection than vaccination. Despite recognizing its quality and findings, senior officials decided not to update public guidance.
- Internal Acknowledgment vs. Public Messaging: Emails revealed officials, including Collins, Fauci, and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, discussed the Israeli study’s implications. CDC’s John Brooks even praised the study, noting infection-induced immunity could outlast vaccine protection. Still, officials maintained the narrative that vaccines were superior, fearing it was “too costly” to admit otherwise.
- Erosion of Public Trust: Watchdog group Protect the Public’s Trust accused health officials of scientific integrity violations, arguing they knowingly misled the public by burying data favorable to natural immunity. Critics say this deliberate suppression damaged public confidence in health institutions — damage that may take decades to repair.
Health officials downplayed data on natural immunity, misrepresented study, never updated findings
In August 2021, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) declared that vaccines offered greater protection against COVID-19 than prior infection. The agency based this claim on a Kentucky study but misrepresented its scope. The study had not concluded that vaccination was universally superior to natural immunity. Instead, it found that for people who had already been infected, vaccination could provide additional protection against reinfection. Nonetheless, the CDC’s press release framed the findings as evidence that vaccines were broadly more protective, a claim amplified by National Institutes of Health (NIH) Director Francis Collins in a televised interview.
Watchdog group Protect the Public’s Trust argues that the CDC and Collins misled the public by misrepresenting the Kentucky study and ignoring its limitations. Shortly afterward, internal communications show that officials, including Collins, Anthony Fauci, and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, were made aware of an Israeli study with a starkly different conclusion. That study suggested that natural immunity provided stronger and longer-lasting protection against reinfection than two doses of mRNA vaccines. Internal emails show Fauci and Collins recognized the study’s robustness, with CDC scientist John Brooks praising its design and analysis. Brooks even admitted that infection-induced immunity might last longer than vaccine-induced immunity, particularly within the first six months.
Despite acknowledging these findings privately, officials concluded it would be “too costly” to change course and risk undermining the push for widespread vaccination. Instead, public messaging remained consistent: Vaccines were said to provide better protection than natural infection. Internal communications reveal that health officials believed acknowledging the Israeli study could discourage vaccination, even if the evidence supported natural immunity as stronger in some cases.
Protect the Public’s Trust previously filed a scientific integrity complaint in October 2021, accusing the agencies of misrepresenting research and suppressing contradictory data. The group’s director, Michael Chamberlain, argued that officials advanced a political narrative at the expense of public trust, noting that “they admitted among themselves that infection-induced immunity may have provided better protection, but decided that leveling with the public came at ‘too great a cost.’”
Ultimately, no meaningful updates were made to official messaging. In October 2021, the CDC doubled down, publishing a science brief that dismissed observational studies like Israel’s and claimed the evidence for natural immunity was limited compared to vaccine data — even as its own scientists privately validated the study’s credibility.
The revelations raise serious concerns about transparency and scientific integrity during the pandemic. By misrepresenting findings and withholding evidence, health officials may have undermined public trust in institutions at a critical moment. Critics argue the long-term damage to credibility could take decades to repair.
