The FDA is facing serious questions over whether officials buried internal concerns about child deaths reported after COVID-19 vaccination.
In September 2025, then-FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary publicly acknowledged that the agency was investigating reports of children who had died following COVID shots. But according to people familiar with internal discussions, a fierce dispute was already underway inside the agency over what the evidence showed — and whether the public would ever see it.
An internal review led by Dr. Tracy Beth Høeg examined roughly 96 pediatric death reports submitted to VAERS, the federal vaccine adverse-event database. About 25 cases reportedly became serious enough for high-level discussion.
The findings were expected to be presented publicly at a CDC advisory meeting, but leaks and internal pushback derailed that plan. Months later, an internal memo from then-FDA vaccine chief Dr. Vinay Prasad reportedly stated that “at least 10” children had died “after and because of” COVID vaccination, calling it a “profound revelation.”
Later reviews downgraded the findings, with one analysis classifying two deaths as probable or likely and five as possible. Senator Ron Johnson is now demanding answers from Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., citing concerns about a possible cover-up and noting that fatal myocarditis cases represented new safety information that deserves to be understood by lawmakers as well as the public.
The FDA’s apparent cover-up of child deaths related to COVID vaccines just shows why millions no longer trust the government when it comes to public health. Parents were pumped full of fear porn, ordered to obey, attacked if they asked any questions, and coerced into trusting the Big Pharma-approved experts throughout the pandemics. All the while, the government was hiding information about the dangers of vaccines for children who had virtually no chance of dying from COVID-19. This is a major scandal, and heads must roll in the aftermath.
