US health officials stopped the publication of a study on COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness. The study, which was to appear in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, found that the vaccine cut ER visits and hospitalizations among healthy adults by about half. The decision to halt publication was due to a dispute over the study's methodology. Health officials argued that prior infection, behavior, and differences in who seeks care can affect results. Many researchers have used the same methodology in published studies. The halted publication has raised concerns about political interference in scientific research.
