FDA Memo Links 10 Child Deaths to COVID Vaccines

  • On Friday, an internal FDA memo authored by Dr. Vinay Prasad said at least 10 children likely died `because of` COVID-19 vaccination, The New York Times reported.
  • The internal note omitted ages, health backgrounds and methodological details, as Dr. Tracy Beth Hoeg led an analysis suggesting myocarditis may link the deaths, the New York Times reported.
  • The review's results have not been peer-reviewed, and Prasad described the finding as `a profound revelation` in his FDA memo to staff.
  • The memo landed ahead of next week's CDC vaccine committee meeting, and Prasad announced plans to tighten vaccine oversight with randomized studies for major subgroups.
  • Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s policy changes now limit COVID vaccine access to people 65 and older or those with serious conditions, intensifying debate over vaccine safety and government communication.
