For a parent, sibling, or other family member or friend of the hundreds of children who died of #COVID or are disabled from #LongCOVID , COVID does not present a “tremendously low risk” to children. COVID was a top 10 cause of death in children at the pandemic’s peak. #PedSky #FDA

The FDA's Vinay Prasad says children face “a tremendously low risk of death.” Actually, 821 kids <19 died of Covid during a 12-month perdiod, according to a 2023 JAMA paper. www.statnews.com/2025/11/29/c...

When iffy "evidence" used for policy & fearmongering... FDA claims Covid shots killed 10 children and vows new vaccine rules www.nbcnews.com/health/he…. via @nbcnews.com Meme "is misusing information from VAERS, an unverified reporting system..." And "irresponsible" & "dangerous."

As a reminder Prasad announced his opposition to the pediatric covid vaccine months before there was a pediatric covid vaccine. He never wavered. Remember this when he claims to be guided by data and evidence. sciencebasedmedicine.org/….

In this video I discuss some of the very serious implications regarding the FDA’s memo purporting to show a link between COVID vaccines and deaths.

Recall when pharma did "publication by press release" for COVID vaccines & hit business news channels as stock market opened? This is a variant of that move. Prasad's memo -no public -no details of claims -findings unpublished in a peer-reviewed sci journal -released bf next wk’s CDC’s ACIP mtg 🛟😷

Yup (& the attention-demanders are still angry that scientists & health workers rejected their kooky views on vaccines during the pandemic phase of COVID—so, now that they’re running the US health system they’re seeking revenge by dismantling it in order to drive a surge in childhood illness 😢)

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

These COVID vax death claims & policy by Vinay Prasad are unsurprising given his long problematic contrarian crusade. If only his BS cld've waited until after the holiday. If past VAERS data claims are indicators, there will be much to scrutinize abt this--& now he's making policy off it. 🛟 😷 medsky
2 screenshots of X tweet thread by journalist Ali Rogin on Nov. 25, 2025. Text below is copy and paste verbatim from her 4 tweets...

Tweet 1: NEW: In an email sent to staff this afternoon, CBER chief Vinay Prasad says the @US_FDA for the first time "will acknowledge that COVID-19 vaccines have killed American children," which he calls a "profound revelation."

Tweet 2: He says that assessment is based on a "detailed analysis of deaths voluntarily reported to the VAERS system," and that following an initial analysis of 96 deaths between '21 and '24, they've identified "no fewer than 10" that are related to the shot

Tweet 3: He says that based on this analysis, "we will take swift action regarding this new safety concern" and "will demand pre-market randomized trials assessing clinical endpoints for most new products."

Tweet 4: Prasad also says the FDA will "revise the annual flu vaccine framework" which he calls "an evidence-based catastrophe," and he invites people who disagree with this new direction to resign. "For those who choose to remain... I look forward to working with you," he concludes.

In a new leaked memo, the FDA outlined plans to make it much harder to get new vaccines approved, claiming, without sharing evidence, that the COVID vaccines have killed at least 10 children. This is so reckless. The science shows us that COVID vaccines have saved millions of lives.
Subject: Deaths in children due to COVID-19 vaccines and CBER’s path forward

Dear Team CBER,

I am writing to report that OBPV career staff have found that at least 10 children have died after and because of receiving COVID-19 vaccination. These deaths arerelated to vaccination (likely/probable/possible attribution made by staff). That number is certainly an underestimate due to underreporting, and inherent bias in attribution. 

….

For the first time, the US FDA will acknowledge that COVID-19 vaccines have killed American children. 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. In many cases, such mandates were harmful. It is difficult to read cases where kids aged 7 to 16 may be dead as a result of covid vaccines.

….

Putting these facts together, it is horrifying to consider that the US vaccine regulation, including our actions, may have harmed more children than we saved. This requires humility and introspection.

Vinay Prasad MD MPH
CBER Director, CMSO US FDA

By the way, if 10 American kids died of vaccine myocarditis, at least 1 would have been written up. Like this from Korea. Doctors wouldn’t just submit to VAERS. We publish things. I’m unaware of such cases. Maybe others can clue me in. jkms.org/DOIx.php?id=...

Here’s a video of Makary in 2023 saying Kennedy’s “stories” of kids who died after the Covid vaccine were “100% true.” Remember, these guys had their minds made up. It was never about data and evidence. More... youtu.be/CDBM8UvN-xk
