Inside the FDA’s ‘Cover-Up’ of Child Deaths Linked to COVID Vaccines
In September 2025, then-U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary publicly acknowledged that the agency was investigating reports of child deaths following COVID-19 vaccination. “We do know at the FDA… that there had been children who have died from the COVID vaccine,” Makary said during a CNN interview.
