Summary

A study on Covid vaccines that was blocked from publication by the CDC's acting director, Jay Bhattacharya, was published in JAMA Network Open instead. The study found that Covid vaccines reduced the likelihood of severe illness by about half among adults during the fall and winter seasons. The research was originally slated for release in the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) but was blocked, leading to its publication in an outside peer-reviewed journal.
