Leaked FDA Memo Confirms at Least 10 Little one Deaths from COVID Vaccines

A leaked internal FDA memo has confirmed that COVID-19 vaccines caused the deaths of at least 10 American children, marking the first official acknowledgment from the agency and igniting fresh outrage over years of regulatory stonewalling.​

Dr. Vinay Prasad, who heads the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, penned the explosive document following a review of 96 deaths among children ages 7 to 16. These cases were reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) between 2021 and 2024.

Prasad determined that “no fewer than 10” were directly linked to the shots, most likely due to myocarditis, a dangerous inflammation of the heart muscle. “This is certainly an underestimate due to underreporting, and inherent bias in attribution,” he cautioned in the memo.

In response, Prasad laid out ambitious reforms to overhaul vaccine approvals. Going forward, trials for vaccines targeting pregnant women and other vulnerable groups must actually include them. Pneumonia vaccines will need to demonstrate they prevent the disease itself, not merely produce antibodies. He slammed the annual flu shot update process as an “evidence-based catastrophe of low-quality evidence, poor surrogate assays, and uncertain vaccine effectiveness.” Multiple vaccines administered simultaneously will require dedicated safety studies, bringing vaccine regulation in line with standards for other drugs.​

The memo, first reported by The New York Times drew predictable pushback from the mainstream. Outlets quoted vaccine stalwarts like Dr. Paul Offit, Dr. Peter Hotez and former FDA vaccine chief Dr. Peter Marks, all demanding more data while lamenting threats to “vaccine confidence.”​

FDA Commissioner Marty Makary finally spoke out during a Nov. 29 interview on “Fox & Friends Weekend“. He committed to releasing the child death data to the public and declared an end to rubber-stamping boosters for healthy children. Still, Makary insisted the vaccines remained vital for protecting older Americans. The Department of Health and Human Services, along with Moderna and Pfizer, refused to comment.​

Experts Rip FDA for Deadly Delay

The reaction from vaccine safety advocates was swift and scathing. Children’s Health Defense Chief Scientific Officer Brian Hooker described the memo as a “huge step in the right direction” but warned it represents just the “tip of the iceberg” for broader transparency. “Unfortunately, when profits are at stake, given the corporatization of healthcare in the U.S., compassion and scientific curiosity are thrown out the window,” Hooker told The Defender.​

Brownstone Institute founder Jeffrey Tucker praised it as a “mighty breakthrough.” “To be sure, critics have known this for years,” Tucker said. “What’s been missing is any official acknowledgment. This is what forces major media to cover it, and makes it impossible to continue to ignore not only this vaccine harm but possibly many more. This is a major turning point.”​

No one hit harder than cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough, who has long warned about vaccine-induced heart risks. “Prasad’s memo adds to the mounting evidence that the current FDA staffers, including Dr Makary and Dr Prasad have been involved in a cover-up of COVID-19 vaccine deaths among children and adults,” he wrote in an email to The Defender. McCullough demanded immediate action: “The FDA Inspector General supervised by a Special Counsel should launch an investigation. Meanwhile all COVID-19 vaccines should be pulled off the market so more Americans can avoid death after vaccination.”​

In a recent post on X McCullough said, “Finally an ethical FDA staffer leaked an internal memo of 96 childhood deaths after COVID-19 vaccination.” He continued, “Still no recall or black box warning, just podcasting and press interviews from FDA commissioner Makary.”
