FDA Conducting ‘Intense Investigation’ of Child Deaths Following COVID Shot

"The FDA is conducting an 'intense investigation' into the deaths of young, healthy children following COVID-19 vaccination, the agency’s commissioner confirmed in a CNN interview last week.

'We’re going to release a report in the coming few weeks,' Dr. Marty Makary, head of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), told CNN’s Jake Tapper. 'We’re talking to the primary sources, the family members who lost a child … we’re reviewing the autopsy reports, we’re having physicians do the investigation,' he said.

The investigation is drawing on reports from the U.S. government-run Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), according to Makary.

'We’ve been looking into the VAERS database, self-reports that there have been children who have died from the COVID vaccine. And so, we’re doing a proper investigation,' he said.

Mary Holland, CEO of Children's Health Defense, said she was 'delighted' to hear about the investigation, which she said 'is many years overdue'...

VAERS shows 202 child deaths after COVID shot — true number may be higher

... [A] 2011 Harvard report found that less than 1% of all adverse events are reported to VAERS. 

And even when an injury or death is reported, investigations have suggested that the report may not be publicly visible in the system...

... [T]he summaries that accompany the reports often contain the victim’s age, but this information won’t appear when searching for reports by age in VAERS if the age field in the report is empty.

'This is clearly where most dead children are hiding in VAERS,' said analyst Albert Benavides, founder of VAERSAware.com. Benavides said the summaries of reports with an 'unknown' age listed show 'three times the amount of dead children ‘hiding’ in VAERS' compared to the official figure.

As of Aug. 29, VAERS contains 13,457 reports of deaths following COVID-19 vaccination that list an 'unknown' age, and 73,176 COVID-19 vaccine injury reports involving people under 18...

CDC officials who resigned gave FDA a ‘hard time’ over investigation

According to Makary, the CDC stonewalled the FDA’s investigation, contributing to uncertainty surrounding the safety of the COVID-19 vaccines.

He said:

'Since we came into office, early on in the first few months, we got blocked and we were given different excuses and told to wait and ‘we can’t do it.’ It was those individuals who resigned from the CDC, that were in leadership, that gave us the hard time about getting the data.'

Holland said it was 'horrifying to think that CDC officials in the past impeded investigation into child deaths from federally recommended medical interventions'...

In recent months, several CDC officials and scientists involved with the agency's vaccine policy have resigned, including former CDC vaccine chief Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, pediatric infectious disease expert Dr. Lakshmi Panagiotakopoulos, and senior CDC scientist Dr. Fiona Havers.

In an interview Sunday on Fox News’ 'Fox & Friends,' Kennedy said Daskalakis withheld critical vaccine safety data.

'For seven months, he stonewalled us so we could not get that data,' Kennedy said...

Health workers shunning COVID shots ‘tells you what the real consensus is’

... 'People are appropriately asking today, ‘if I’m healthy, do I need to take another booster shot?’' Makary said, noting that most healthcare workers did not receive a COVID-19 booster during the previous cold and flu season.

'Eighty-five percent of healthcare workers did not get the COVID booster for themselves last fall, so that tells you what the real consensus is,' Makary said."
