CDC Pauses Release of COVID Vaccine Effectiveness Study

Summary: The CDC was about to release a report showing that COVID-19 vaccines worked well last winter. The study found that the shots cut emergency room visits by 50% and hospital stays by 55%. However, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, the acting director at the time, paused the report's release. He was worried about how the study was done, preferring a different type of testing. Some health experts say it is highly unusual for a political appointee to step in and delay this kind of scientific report.
