Original Note:
False. The CDC official did not contradict prior statements on safety monitoring signals. The article misleadingly cites unconfirmed VAERS reports which "can be submitted by anyone. Reports often lack details & sometimes can have information that contains errors." https://www.factcheck.org/2023/01/scicheck-social-media-posts-twist-meaning-of-cdc-fda-disclosure-on-bivalent-booster/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2023/02/17/fact-check-cdc-acknowledged-illness-reports-not-covid-19-vaccine-link/11265485002/ https://vaers.hhs.gov/data/dataguide.html
