CDC creates controversial disease code for those not vaccinated for Covid-19

Dated: February 9, 2023 by Sharyl Attkisson 6 Comments

      

The following is an excerpt from The Vaccine Reaction.

The CDC recently codified International Classification of Disease (ICD) codes for Covid-19 vaccine status.

ICD codes are extensively used in medical records, medical insurance data and health research to classify precisely disease states as well as injuries from exogenous agents such as accidents, medication and medical device injuries, toxic chemicals, etc.

Vaccination status is not a disease or an injury state, yet CDC has rationalized creating ICD codes for it.

The coding is set to become effective on April 1, 2023.

As described by Dr. Robert Malone, โ€œThe ICD classification system is run by the World Health Organization, not the U.S. government.โ€ The vaccine status ICD codes were developed by the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) some nine months ago, and CDC is implementing them.

The coding scheme, Z28.xxx, includes both vaccination status and possible reasons for the status. However, there does not appear to be a code for โ€œfully vaccinated,โ€ only for various states of โ€œnot fully vaccinated.โ€

  • The code Z28.0 means โ€œimmunization not carried out because of contraindication.โ€  Z28.1 means โ€œimmunization not carried out because of patient decision for reasons of belief or group pressure.โ€
  • Z28.2 means โ€œimmunization not carried out because of patient decision for other and unspecified reason.โ€
  • Z28.8 means โ€œimmunization not carried out for other reasonโ€ which because of code Z28.2 must refer to reasons not attributable to patient decisions.
  • Finally, Z28.39 means โ€œother underimmunization status,โ€ including โ€œDelinquent immunization statusโ€ and โ€œLapsed immunization schedule status.โ€

However, a potential contradiction arises because code Z28.310 means โ€œunvaccinated for Covid-19.โ€

In order to reconcile this, the Z28 codes in the previous paragraph must refer to vaccines other than for Covid-19. The only other Covid-19 code is Z28.311 which means โ€œpartially vaccinated for Covid-19,โ€ where โ€œpartialโ€ refers to the CDC definition for โ€œfully vaccinatedโ€ at the time when the patient visits the health-care provider who records the vaccination status in the medical chart.

It is apparent that the details of reasons for patient choices for vaccine status are not specified in codes for Covid-19 vaccines, but the CDC has some two months to fix this.

There are no specific codes yet for โ€œrefused to divulge Covid-19 vaccination statusโ€ or โ€œunknown Covid-19 vaccination status,โ€ but these codes are likely to be added at some point.

What is the usage for which this information is planned? There is certainly a public health rationale for agencies to be able to monitor population vaccination status.

Personal health information is routinely analyzed by public health agencies, insurance companies and health researchers, but in anonymized and grouped formats.

The identifiable information is recorded in the databases, however HIPAA and other laws strictly protect identifiable health information and regulate how such information may be used for analyses.

In theory, vaccination status could be no different. Medical records already know your age, gender and race, where you reside, about your obesity, diabetes, your smoking and alcohol usage and your HIV status.

Some of this information could be stigmatizing if released publicly, but at present there are no politicized or other circumstances to force unwanted choices on members of the public based on this compiled personal information. (Continued...)

    They will use it for triage. If you need a organ transplant and are not immunized they will give it to someone else who is immunized.

      That thought crossed my mind too. Blood also!

    One upside is learning what really happens to the unvaccinated, besides relying only on Joe Biden screeds.

    There is a UK private operation called "Vaccine Control Group" for unvaccinated to self report any ongoing symptoms, social stigmas, etc. Some one has to track the "placebo" group. Plus they let you print out a cool "Covid" wallet ID card, with the proper disclaimers: Vaccination Status :NEVER

    The unvaxxed are an important demographic to track, but done only with the highest degree of scientific integrity - not just fodder for Drug company misinformation campaigns.

    They (the government & their masters) need to know who will remain to oppose them. Remember, all vaccines are dangerous from here on. They are trying to get the damned SARS Spike into everyone, apart from the 'chosen' (self-elected to control the planet). This is not fantasy, a block buster movie, or a bad dream. This is 4D live. If possible, they desire access to your blood. It is the last bastion for them to assail. Everything else they control in your life already. Doubt it?
    Let's go back to basics: In SARS, a type of 'pathogenic priming' was observed in animal studies, where they had been injected with SARS spike protein-based vaccines. Increased mortality & morbidity was witnessed in the animals, once exposed to the wild virus. Mice died quicker, while for ferrets it took a few goes of reinfection to finish them off, after cellular-immune response. SARS-CoV2 is acting more like 'superbugs'. The Corona virus initially infects & then the spike protein progresses to do damage to organs. They are working together. Compare for yourself other superbugs doing the same. Klebsiella feeds Acinetobacter through its metabolic by-products. In return, Acinetobacter protects Klebsiella from high concentrations of drugs through antibiotic-degrading enzymes it secretes. A mutually beneficial relationship to one another. Very dangerous.
