MISSING Data – They’re Hiding It!

Daily Report April 11,2025

CDC official accused of destroying crucial vaccine safety records while the agency spearheaded a campaign of aggressive social media censorship against anyone questioning what they labeled “COVID vaccine misinformation.”

At a Glance

 

  • Senator Ron Johnson alleges CDC’s Dr. Tom Shimabukuro may have deleted official records documenting COVID-19 vaccine adverse reactions
  • HHS reportedly informed Johnson that Shimabukuro’s records are “lost and potentially removed from HHS’s email system altogether”
  • Johnson has called on the FBI, DOJ, and HHS Inspector General to investigate potential violations of the Federal Records Act
  • The allegations come amid broader concerns about CDC coordinating with social media platforms to suppress vaccine skepticism
  • Similar record-keeping issues were previously discovered with NIH adviser Dr. David Morens, who allegedly used Gmail to avoid records requests

 

Records “Lost” – Or Intentionally Destroyed?

In what appears to be an escalating pattern of government agencies playing hide-and-seek with critical public health information, Senator Ron Johnson has turned up the heat on CDC official Dr. Tom Shimabukuro. The Wisconsin Republican is demanding answers about potentially missing or deleted records related to COVID-19 vaccine safety monitoring – records that Americans have every right to access. The timing couldn’t be more suspicious, as these records vanished precisely when scrutiny of the vaccine program was intensifying and questions about adverse reactions were mounting.

In a scathing letter sent Wednesday to Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, and acting HHS Inspector General Juliet Hodgkins, Johnson revealed the disturbing discovery that came after his office had issued a January subpoena requesting records. “HHS officials recently informed me that Dr. Shimabukuro’s records remain lost and, potentially, removed from HHS’s email system altogether,” Johnson wrote, adding that “Dr. Shimabukuro’s potential mishandling of his official records is highly concerning.” This statement suggests not merely sloppy recordkeeping but potentially deliberate destruction of evidence.

 

 

CDC’s Broader Campaign Against Vaccine Skepticism

The alleged destruction of records is just one part of a much larger problem. Johnson has been hammering the CDC for months over what he describes as a coordinated effort with social media companies to silence legitimate questions about vaccine safety. Last August, Johnson blasted the agency after his own social media post regarding Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) data was censored on Twitter (now X). The platform blocked all interactions with his post, labeling it as “misleading” – a move Johnson believes was orchestrated with CDC involvement.

 

“Based on recent information I have received … it is clear that CDC abused its authority by engaging in a censorship campaign to suppress and discredit certain viewpoints it labeled as ‘misinformation,'” – Sen. Ron Johnson – https://nypost.com/2023/08/30/sen-johnson-lambasts-cdc-demands-docs-on-censorship-of-vaccine-data/

 

Johnson has unearthed evidence suggesting the CDC “communicated with social media companies, including Twitter, about ‘COVID Vaccine Misinformation.'” This raises serious constitutional questions about government agencies using their authority to pressure private companies into silencing American citizens. When combined with the alleged destruction of records, a troubling picture emerges of an agency willing to go to extraordinary lengths to control the narrative around vaccine safety – even if it means breaking federal law.

 

A Pattern of Deception in Federal Health Agencies

Shimabukuro isn’t the only health official caught in record-keeping controversies. NIH senior adviser Dr. David Morens previously came under fire after he was discovered instructing colleagues to contact him via Gmail rather than official channels. Even more damning, Morens sought advice on how to avoid Freedom of Information Act requests – a blatant attempt to circumvent transparency laws. This suggests a systemic problem within health agencies, where officials appear determined to shield their communications from public scrutiny.

 

“Any attempt to obstruct or interfere with my investigatory efforts would be grounds for contempt of Congress,” Johnson wrote Wednesday.” said Sen. Ron Johnson.

 

The Federal Records Act exists for a reason – to ensure government activities are documented and accountable to the American people. When officials responsible for monitoring vaccine safety potentially delete critical records, they’re not just breaking the law; they’re betraying public trust at the most fundamental level. Johnson’s demand for a thorough investigation by the FBI, DOJ, and HHS Inspector General is entirely appropriate given the gravity of these allegations and their implications for public health transparency.
