FDA Announces Inquiry Into COVID Vaccine-Related Deaths, Despite Evidence Showing Safety

"The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced this week that it will investigate whether there is a link between vaccinations for coronavirus and deaths in the United States, despite mountains of evidence that COVID-19 shots are both safe and effective. "FDA is doing a thorough investigation, across multiple age groups, of deaths potentially related to coronavirus vaccines," a Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) spokesperson said on Tuesday."

"The announcement - which comes nearly five years after COVID-19 vaccines became available within the U.S. - has sparked major concerns among medical experts, who have repeatedly warned that HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is peddling harmful disinformation and endangering vital public health institutions in the U.S. The announcement also comes just weeks after a memo written by FDA chief medical and scientific officer Vinay Prasad, a noted anti-vaxxer, was made public."

"The memo baselessly claims that there is reason to believe "healthy young children who faced tremendously low risk of death were coerced, at the behest of the Biden administration, via school and work mandates, to receive a vaccine that could result in death." Prasad alleges in the memo that there were 10 instances of children dying due to the vaccine, but offers no details on the circumstances of their deaths. He also claims that COVID "was never highly lethal for children" and that its effects "are comparable" to other respiratory viruses - contradicting one analysis of pediatric mortality data that suggests COVID is more lethal for children than the flu."

The FDA announced an investigation into whether coronavirus vaccinations are linked to deaths in the United States. HHS confirmed a multi-age-group review of deaths potentially related to coronavirus vaccines. The timing of the investigation is nearly five years after vaccines became available and has generated concern among medical experts about disinformation and threats to public health institutions. A recent memo by FDA officer Vinay Prasad asserts claims about coercing low-risk children and alleges ten pediatric vaccine deaths without providing details. Prasad contends COVID was not highly lethal for children, contradicting some pediatric mortality analyses.
