FDA to probe whether adult deaths linked to coronavirus vaccine

The FDA's probe follows a leaked memo alleging vaccine-linked deaths, including 10 children; over 700 million doses have been administered in the U.S., WHO data shows.

  • The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said Tuesday it is investigating whether deaths across multiple age groups relate to Covid-19 vaccines after a leaked internal memo alleged 10 child deaths.
  • Dr. Vinay Prasad's leaked memo stated an 'initial analysis' of 96 deaths linked 10 children to Covid-19 vaccination and reported myocarditis deaths, proposing revisions to the annual flu vaccine framework.
  • Experts note proving vaccine-caused deaths requires autopsy and virus exclusion, while FDA rules mandate reporting to Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System after more than 700 million doses of Covid-19 vaccines administered in the U.S.
  • Prasad said the agency will adopt a new FDA approval process demanding more safety evidence and reappraise labels, while markets dipped and analysts warned vaccine developers including Moderna and Pfizer may face investment declines.
  • Amid agency turmoil, public-health officials warn that restricting vaccine access could have dangerous consequences as last year's flu season hospitalized 1.1 million Americans and killed 280 children, the CDC estimates.
