🚨NIH's own emails, obtained by @ICANdecide after a two-year FOIA fight, show Fauci, Collins, and Tabak all knew about neurological injuries following COVID vaccination by April 2021, and pushed back on publishing the findings. NIH senior investigator Avindra Nath had drafted a manuscript on 24 patients with neuropathy-like symptoms following vaccination, noting early treatment with corticosteroids could reverse them. When it was rejected by NEJM, Collins asked Koroshetz, "what do you make of this?" and called the approach "very troubling," writing that collecting these cases "will have the main consequence of feeding vaccine hesitancy and social media overreaction." Tabak's private reply to Collins was blunter: "I don't understand why Walter does not shut this down." The manuscript never ran in a peer-reviewed journal. The preprint didn't surface until May 2022, a full year later. It took @ICANdecide filing a federal lawsuit in June 2025, two years after the original FOIA request, just to get these emails released at all.
