The FDA has finally acknowledged what many parents suspected all along: COVID vaccines killed American children, marking a historic shift from years of denial by federal health bureaucrats.
Story Highlights
- Internal FDA memo confirms at least 10 child deaths linked to COVID-19 vaccines
- Agency analyzed 96 pediatric death reports from 2021-2024 VAERS database
- FDA leadership promises stricter vaccine approval standards moving forward
- Previous administration downplayed vaccine risks while pushing mass childhood vaccination
FDA Admits Vaccine-Related Child Deaths
Dr. Vinay Prasad, director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, sent an internal memo to agency staff acknowledging that COVID-19 vaccines caused pediatric deaths. The November 29, 2025 memo stated this represents “a profound revelation” and marks “the first time the US FDA will acknowledge that COVID-19 vaccines have killed American children.” This admission comes after years of federal agencies dismissing concerns from parents and independent researchers about vaccine safety in children.
Dr. Tracy Beth Hoeg, a senior adviser for clinical sciences at the FDA, conducted the investigation that examined 96 death reports submitted to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System between 2021 and 2024. Her analysis identified at least 10 cases where vaccines likely contributed to child deaths, with myocarditis being cited as a possible cause. Prasad noted the true number is “certainly an underestimate” because the voluntary reporting system captures only a fraction of adverse events.
Previous Administration’s Reckless Vaccine Push
The COVID-19 vaccination campaign for children began in 2021 under the Biden administration, which consistently claimed benefits outweighed risks for pediatric populations. Throughout this period, the FDA and CDC maintained their pro-vaccine stance despite mounting reports of adverse events. The previous leadership ignored early warning signs of myocarditis in young people, prioritizing political messaging over genuine safety assessments that could have protected vulnerable children.
FDA Commissioner Marty Makary’s leadership represents a dramatic departure from the previous administration’s approach. Speaking on Fox News, Makary declared the agency would no longer “rubber-stamp” vaccines without strong evidence, arguing the old approach “undermined public trust.” This new transparency stands in stark contrast to the Biden-era FDA that dismissed parental concerns and suppressed dissenting voices within the scientific community.
Stricter Standards Promise Real Accountability
The FDA announced plans to implement stricter vaccine approval standards and reform how annual influenza vaccines are regulated. Prasad indicated the agency may examine whether multiple shots should be given simultaneously, potentially disrupting the current childhood vaccine schedule. These changes represent a victory for parents who demanded better safety oversight instead of blind acceptance of pharmaceutical industry claims about vaccine safety.
Internal FDA staff members have expressed concern about the memo, with some characterizing it as “misleading” and “politically charged.” This resistance from career bureaucrats demonstrates the entrenched culture that prioritized vaccine promotion over honest safety assessment. The memo has created necessary friction within an agency that previously operated as a rubber stamp for Big Pharma’s vaccine agenda, finally bringing accountability to federal health oversight.
