#FDA Attributes 10 Children’s Deaths to #Covid #VaccinesThe agency’s top #vaccine regulator said that a review had found that the children were likely to have died “because of” the shots.

The director of the #FDA’s #vaccine division said in a memo to agency staff on Friday that a review had found that at least 10 children had died “after & because of” getting a #Covid #vaccination.Dr. Vinay Prasad, the director, suggested in the memo that the deaths were related to myocarditis, or inflammation of the heart muscle.#PublicHealth #Health #vaccines #science #medicine #policy #law #Trump #RFKJr #ConspiracyTheories #disinformation #USpol

The memo, obtained by NYT & not publicly released, did not provide details such as the ages of the children, whether they had any other #health problems or how the agency determined the #vaccine-death link. Nor did it disclose the maker of the #vaccines involved.#PublicHealth #Health #vaccines #science #medicine #policy #law #Trump #RFKJr #ConspiracyTheories #disinformation #USpol

“This is a profound revelation,” Dr. Prasad wrote in a memo to staff members. “For the first time, the #US #FDA will acknowledge that Covid-19 vaccines have killed American children.”Dr. Prasad declined to be interviewed for this article.His missive represents another sharp U-turn by federal authorities under #RFKJr, the nation’s “health” secy & a longtime #vaccine critic who has frequently described the #Covid #vaccines as unsafe.#science #medicine #Trump #ConspiracyTheories #disinformation

@Nonilex And this fake information can be spread by putting out click bait headline news charts and rankings on the internet news items. Imagine a headline pops up on a phone that says: 'top 10 states for children's deaths from vaccines'. or <your state name> is the worst for vaccine deaths. That sort of thing is how bogus information is being spread these days.

In contrast, #health officials in the first #Trump admin, when the #vaccines were developed during the pandemic, & in the #Biden years, strongly endorsed the #Covid shots as lifesaving measures.#RFKJr’s team has issued new policies that are limiting access to the shots to people 65 & older as well as to younger people with underlying medical conditions.#PublicHealth #science #medicine #policy #law #ConspiracyTheories #disinformation #USpol

#PublicHealth experts have vociferously disputed assertions by #RFKJr & #health officials in this #Trump admin that the #Covid #vaccines are dangerous. Previous federal health officials have acknowledged serious but rare side effects from the shots, including the incidence of myocarditis among teenage boys & young men.#science #medicine #policy #law #ConspiracyTheories #disinformation #USpol

But those #PublicHealth experts have also pointed to the number of lives saved by the shots & to the fact that the virus caused more than a million deaths among Americans. About 2,100 children have died of #Covid since the #pandemic began, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics.The findings of the new #FDA review have NOT been published in a peer-reviewed medical journal.#Health #vaccines #science #medicine #policy #law #Trump #RFKJr #ConspiracyTheories #disinformation #USpol

Dr. Paul Offit, a #vaccine expert with the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia & a critic of #RFKJr’s vaccine policies, called the memo an example of #science “by press release.”He said the memo was devoid of context such as the number or rate of deaths from the virus itself among vaccinated & unvaccinated children.Dr. Offit said children with vaccine-related myocarditis showed up at the hospital, with cases that resolved quickly.#PublicHealth #Trump #ConspiracyTheories #disinformation

“On the other hand, we saw children admitted to our hospital with myocarditis from the virus,” he said. “It was quite severe & caused admissions to the intensive care unit.”Some of #RFKJr’s #AntiVax allies have been pressuring the govt…to delve deeper into the agency’s database that includes unverified reports of harmful effects from #Covid shots. The memo said the analysis of deaths reported to the agency was led by Dr. Tracy Beth Hoeg, a snr #FDA adviser & a #vaccine skeptic….

In his memo, Dr. Prasad also announced changes to #vaccine oversight & approval, saying there would be a requirement for randomized studies to include all subgroups, such as pregnant women. In addition, he labeled the annual framework for choosing the flu vaccine as a “catastrophe of low-quality evidence,” & said it would also be re-examined.#PublicHealth #Health #vaccines #science #medicine #policy #law #Trump #RFKJr #ConspiracyTheories #disinformation #USpol

Dr. Prasad’s memo is landing just before next week’s meeting of the #CDC’s influential vaccine cmte. #RFKJr’s handpicked panel includes supporters of the so-called medical freedom community, who often eschew #vaccines & oppose mandates.Michael Osterholm, a critic of RFKJr’s #health agency oversight & an infectious disease expert at the University of Minnesota, said he believed the memo was intentionally released before the meeting.#PublicHealth #Trump #ConspiracyTheories #disinformation

“This is an irresponsible way to deal with a very critical #PublicHealth issue like #vaccination & adverse events,” he said.The #CDC cmte is expected to discuss the broader childhood #vaccine schedule.It also plans to review the #hepatitisB vaccine, which #RFKJr & others have targeted as unnecessary for newborns. Proponents of the inoculation say it is the best way to protect against transmission from mother to child.#Health #science #medicine #Trump #ConspiracyTheories #disinformation

The #CDC panel has also formed a subgroup to specifically review #Covid #vaccines, under the leadership of Retsef Levi, an MIT management expert who called them a failed product that causes “serious harm including death.”Dr. Peter Marks, who led the #FDA division that regulated vaccines during the pandemic, said he was taken aback by the “clearly political tone of the communication.”He agreed the case reports needed to be opened to further scrutiny.#Trump #RFKJr #disinformation

“I would not be surprised if the attributions turn out to be debatable, as these cases are often quite complex,” Dr. Marks said after reading the memo.Dr. Prasad, whose leadership style has rankled some people internally & outside the #CDC, complained in the memo of staff members who disagreed with agency’s direction & new policies, saying they were leaking information. He then outlined how employees could submit their resignations.…#vaccines #Trump #RFKJr #ConspiracyTheories #disinformation
