FDA blocked publication of COVID, shingles vaccine safety studies: Report
Agency scientists found serious side effects were rare, but top officials blocked release of studies on millions of vaccine recipients.
- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration blocked publication of multiple safety studies on Covid and shingles vaccines, which found serious side effects to be very rare, according to a Health and Human Services spokesperson.
- Under Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s leadership, federal agencies have softened Covid shot recommendations and reduced vaccine research, including blocking information supporting vaccine safety.
- Several Covid vaccine safety studies accepted by medical journals were withdrawn, and abstracts on the shingles vaccine Shingrix were not approved for submission to a drug safety conference.
- FDA officials stated that some studies were withdrawn due to authors drawing broad conclusions unsupported by data, with the shingles study's design falling outside the agency's purview.
