Buried CDC files hold thousands of pleas for help from the COVID-vaccinated

• The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s V-safe app collected 7.5 million responses from nearly 3.5 million COVID-19 vaccine recipients.
• Vaccine-injury advocacy group React19 flagged 14,430 entries from 3,329 people pleading for help or reporting suicidal thoughts, serious harm or deaths.
• At least 300 entries mentioned suicide, including two reported suicides and at least three attempts.
• The CDC told users in 2021 it might call to check on them, but many say no one ever did.
• The National Institutes of Health opened a vaccine injury clinic Oct. 5 as questions mount over the unanswered pleas.

When Americans rolled up their sleeves for a Covid-19 vaccine during the pandemic, they were told a federal safety net stood ready to catch them. The CDC launched its V-safe app in December 2020, asking recipients to check in regularly and report any health changes. The system collected more than 7.5 million responses from nearly 3.5 million people. But a new analysis compiled by React19 and published by the Brownstone Institute, drawing on records released under court order, reveals that thousands of those who submitted desperate pleas for help say they never heard back — and one even said a CDC staffer hung up on them. The question now is whether the system was designed to listen, or just to collect data.

At least 300 reports referenced suicide after vaccination

The Defender’s review of the V-safe data identified at least 300 entries that mentioned suicide, including two reported suicides and at least three attempts. In one heartbreaking submission, a parent wrote: “Our 18 yr old son committed suicide 4/6/2021 and passed 4/7/2021.” Another simply said: “Committed suicide due to insomnia.”

Dozens of other reports described suicidal thoughts, some in people with no prior mental health history. “I have no history of mental illness but my 1st Moderna vaccine caused profound mania then suicidal depression,” one participant wrote. Another noted: “Depression that started with waves of sadness and mild depression with some suicidal thoughts is getting worse. … Not informing consumers of this risk can be life-threatening.”

Participants begged for help but say they were ignored

Time and again, the same refrain appears: “No one is helping me.” React19 flagged 14,430 entries from 3,329 participants that asked for help, described suicidal thoughts, or reported serious harm or a death. Many wrote repeatedly over weeks and months. “I called CDC many times prior to dose 2 and when I begged someone to help me saying if the Vax makes my ocd worse I will become suicidal she hung up on me,” one report read.

Another participant, reporting a woman’s death, wrote: “Nobody is reading this. She had a reaction within 20 minutes of vaccine and died. Have been reporting her death to you all since beginning of check in.” Others said they were told someone would follow up, and no one did. “You said someone would call me! No one has!” one person wrote after an MRI and a referral to a neurologist.

Existing mental health conditions worsened for some

The V-safe data also includes reports from individuals who said their pre-existing mental illnesses flared up after vaccination. One participant with major depressive disorder noted “major increase in depressive symptoms and suicidal thoughts past 3 days.”

Others wondered whether the shot had interfered with their medications. “Prozac stopped working,” one person wrote, describing a breakdown that forced time off work. Psychotherapist Joseph Sansone told The Defender there is evidence linking mRNA injections to anxiety, depression, insomnia, and psychosis, and noted that ongoing physical injuries from the vaccine add a layer of grief and loss for many victims.

NIH opens vaccine injury clinic as questions mount over unanswered pleas

The National Institutes of Health opened a clinic Oct. 5 dedicated to evaluating and treating people who report vaccine injuries. The CDC’s current guidance states that V-safe does not provide medical advice and that the agency won’t phone users about what they report. But in 2021, the CDC’s own V-safe information sheet told participants that, depending on their answers, “someone from CDC may call to check on you.” For them, the app was a lifeline thrown into the dark, and they held onto it, writing again and again, begging someone, anyone, to answer. By their own accounts, many never got one.

The V-safe data, released in 12 tranches covering December 2020 through December 2022, raises uncomfortable questions about accountability. Were the people reporting severe reactions and suicidal thoughts simply shouting into a void? The evidence, in their own words, suggests they were. React19 concedes it cannot determine what the CDC did with the reports. Only the agency can answer that.

As more Americans demand answers, the burden falls on the agency that built the system to explain what happened to every plea it collected — and why those who trusted it were left on hold.
