FDA Expanding Covid Vaccine Investigation To Include Adult Deaths

By Leslie D. Soule

A spokesperson for the Dept. of Health and Human Services has announced that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is now expanding its investigation into the Covid-19 vaccine shots, to include adult deaths. This follows a memo from Chief Medical Officer Vinay Prasad, stating that the vaccines likely contributed to the deaths of 10 children. While this kind of talk concerning the vaccines has been strictly forbidden by social media sites, it is noted that this is an official investigation and that this news is also being reported by other reputable news outlets such as the New York Times and Reuters.

Prasad’s memo regarding the deaths of 10 children, noted that the children died of heart inflammation. Following this memo’s release, he announced plans to tighten vaccine oversight. The memo’s findings were based on an analysis of 96 deaths that took place between 2021 and 2024.

This comes after years of marketing that the vaccines were “safe and effective”, and after such practices as workplaces mandating that their workers take the vaccines, such as airlines in the U.S., which violated their own Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) in order to do so.

Among the additional safety implementations being considered, are stricter requirements for authorization of vaccines used for pregnant women and trials for pneumonia vaccines, aimed at proving that the shots reduce disease. Prasad has stated that the FDA will “revise the annual flu vaccine framework” and that it will “re-appraise safety and be honest in vaccine labels.”

FDA Commissioner Marty Makary has stated that, “We do know at the FDA, because we’ve been looking into the [vaccine safety] database of self reports, that there have been children who have died from the Covid vaccine.” Makary has also previously stated that he personally knows people whose family members have died due to the vaccine.

It is worth noting that since the vaccines became available in 2020, more than 675 million doses of the Covid vaccines have been administered in the U.S.
