Aaron Siri: ICAN Investigation Reveals “Independent” Report on COVID-19 Vaccine Injuries is Riddled With Conflict of Interest

Of the report committee members and reviewers, eleven have current or former financial ties to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), seven have former ties to FDA, four have past affiliations with CDC, and four have former ties to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Even more concerning, three committee members and eight reviewers have direct financial ties with vaccine manufacturers like Pfizer, Moderna, or Janssen, including:

• Reviewer Dr. Kathryn Edwards, the “Godmother of Vaccines” who was deposed by ICAN’s lead attorney Aaron Siri, has received over $83,000 from Pfizer. Despite this, during the COVID-19 pandemic, she was the Principal Investigator of the CDC-funded Clinical Immunization Safety Assessment (CISA) project, which ironically provides consultation to U.S. healthcare providers and health departments about COVID-19 vaccine safety. In addition, she sat on Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine data safety monitoring committee – which means she already cleared this vaccine as being safe enough to trial and now she is “reviewing” adverse events potentially causally linked to the same product whose trial she oversaw!

• Committee member Dr. Thomas Lee Ortel is a member of the Duke Human Vaccine Institute team conducting vaccine safety research with a contract from CISA. He has also received $676,000 from Takeda Pharmaceuticals, which developed a COVID-19 vaccine for Japan.

• Reviewer Dr. Betty Diamond has received over $263,000 from Janssen, maker of the J&J vaccine, and over $316,000 from Genetech, a biotechnology firm partnering with BioNTech on a cancer vaccine.
