Trump administration health officials may soon connect over two dozen child deaths to Covid vaccines, according to a new report. The FDA confirmed it is investigating 25 rare deaths after Pfizer or Moderna shots and is reviewing safety data for pregnant women.
Sources say the findings will be presented next week to the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. “Any recommendations will be based on gold-standard science,” said an HHS spokesperson. Officials are using VAERS data, a public reporting system that does not confirm whether vaccines directly caused the deaths.
Cases of myocarditis and pericarditis remain very rare — about one in 125,000 doses — but are under review. FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary said autopsy reports and family interviews are being examined carefully.
The debate comes as some states drop vaccine mandates, while experts still recommend shots for high-risk groups. Do you think these findings will change public trust in Covid vaccines?
