Leaked FDA Memo Confirms: ‘At Least’ 10 Children Died After COVID-19 Vaccines
A recently leaked internal memo from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) confirms that “at least 10” children died after and because of receiving COVID-19 vaccines — a revelation that raises serious questions about vaccine safety for children.
What the FDA Memo Reveals
The 3,000-word memo, authored by Dr. Vinay Prasad, director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER), reviewed 96 pediatric deaths (ages 7–16) reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) between 2021 and 2024. Of these, no fewer than 10 were determined to be caused by the vaccine, based on a causality scale ranging from “certain” to “unlikely.”
Key findings from the memo include:
-
The FDA’s assessment was conservative, meaning some vaccine-related deaths may have been undercounted. Prasad writes: “The real number is higher.”
-
Myocarditis was identified as a significant risk, particularly in young, healthy boys — a stark contrast to the COVID-19 virus itself, which is far more dangerous for older adults.
-
Prasad criticized both the FDA and CDC, saying they “abdicated their duty to the American people” by failing to properly address vaccine risks to children. He questioned whether vaccine mandates may have caused more harm than benefit in healthy kids.
VAERS Analysis Suggests Numbers Could Be Higher
In addition to the FDA memo, a report from a safety‑advocate researcher highlights potential undercounting in VAERS data. Many entries list “age unknown,” which could mask the true number of child deaths. According to this analysis:
-
There may be approximately 538 child deaths following COVID-19 vaccination in those under 18, not just the 10 recognized by the FDA.
-
VAERS currently lists 197 child deaths in the “under-18” category, but reclassifying “unknown age” entries increases the total substantially.
-
Advocates argue this suggests substantial undercounting, meaning the true toll could be much higher than publicly acknowledged.
This information highlights the urgent need for transparency and independent verification of all pediatric deaths following vaccination.
FDA Proposes Sweeping Vaccine Reforms
The memo also outlines proposed reforms aimed at improving vaccine safety oversight:
-
Direct studies in vulnerable subgroups (e.g., children, pregnant women) rather than relying on extrapolated data.
-
Requirement for real-world effectiveness — vaccines must demonstrate actual disease reduction, not just antibody production.
-
Re-evaluation of co-administered vaccines, examining the safety of giving multiple shots simultaneously.
These reforms suggest the FDA recognizes previous protocols may have inadequately assessed risks in children.
Implications for Canada
Although these findings come from the U.S., they have significant implications for Canada:
-
Policy Re-evaluation: Blanket COVID-19 vaccine recommendations for children should be reconsidered, especially in healthy populations.
-
Transparency: Families deserve full disclosure about adverse events, including age-specific data, causes of death, and medical histories.
-
Safety First: Canadian regulators should take note of the FDA’s proposed reforms and ensure vaccine safety is thoroughly assessed before recommending or mandating shots for children.
CHD Canada’s Call to Action
CHD Canada continues to advocate for informed consent, accountability and vaccine safety. The FDA memo and VAERS analysis underscore the urgent need for:
-
Independent investigation of all pediatric deaths following COVID vaccination.
-
Reassessment of vaccine mandates and universal recommendations for children.
-
Enhanced regulatory scrutiny in Canada, including real-world efficacy and safety studies in children.
-
Public transparency and open scientific dialogue, ensuring that parents can make fully informed decisions.
The FDA has formally acknowledged that COVID-19 vaccines have killed children, and VAERS analysis suggests the true number could be significantly higher. Canadian parents and policymakers must take notice. The safety of children cannot be compromised for mandates, political expediency, or public messaging. It is time to prioritize truth, transparency, and safety above all.

Dr. Peter McCullough had a few choice words for the FDA. He calls for transparency, notification of the parents of the vaccine victims, and IMMEDIATE complete market removal of COVID-19 vaccines.
