An FDA staff analysis of the safety of pediatric Covid-19 shots has been finalized and sent to the agency’s vaccine and biologics head Vinay Prasad. But the report comes to many fewer firm conclusions than two of the agency’s biggest critics of the vaccines have suggested it would.
Endpoints News spoke to two people with knowledge of the analysis, who said that a review of adverse event reports found seven deaths in children that are “possibly” or “probably” related to the Covid-19 vaccines. The description of the deaths as possibly or probably linked represents an intermediate level of certainty, short of a definitive assessment that the shots caused the deaths.
