The FDA’s top vaccine chief, Dr. Vinay Prasad, announced plans for stricter vaccine trial reviews following a memo linking the Covid vaccine to 10 children’s deaths, though no data was provided. FDA Commissioner Marty Makary criticized the lack of transparency from the Biden administration and emphasized the vaccine’s effectiveness for older populations. Experts like Dorit Reiss and Dr. Amesh Adalja questioned the memo’s conclusions, citing the absence of necessary medical data and potential impacts on vaccine sentiment. The FDA has been contacted for comments regarding these claims.
