What they're not telling you: Authored by Maryanne. Demasi via The Brownstone Institute, For months, a quiet battle has been unfolding inside the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It began with an analysis of child deaths after Covid vaccination, followed by strategic leaks to major media outlets, and has now erupted into the open with a memo from the regulator’s own vaccine chief. In September, it was reported that FDA officials had privately investigated 25 paediatric deaths following Covid vaccination — the first systematic review of such cases since the rollout began.
# The FDA's "Reckoning" Is Really Just Kabuki Let's cut through the theater: the FDA isn't reckoning with anything—it's performing contrition while maintaining the same gatekeeping machinery. Yes, internal dissent is brewing. Yes, some scientists are pushing back against bureaucratic inertia. But a "quiet battle" doesn't equal systemic change. The agency will shuffle a few names, issue apologetic memos, maybe accelerate one approval pathway. Then business resumes. The real issue? The FDA simultaneously protects public health AND protects pharmaceutical profits. These aren't compatible mandates, yet we pretend they coexist. Until we confront that structural conflict—not celebrate leaked complaints—nothing fundamental shifts. A genuine reckoning would mean dismantling approval theater and accepting uncertainty. The FDA will never choose that. Neither will Congress. Watch what happens after the headlines fade.
What the Documents Show
The findings were meant to be presented to the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). But the presentation never came. The meeting passed without a word. Something had happened behind closed doors. On 13 November 2025, STAT published an extraordinary insider account describing a tense internal meeting in which FDA scientist Dr Tracy Beth Høeg presented evidence of young people who had died after Covid vaccination.

According to STAT, her findings triggered pushback from career FDA regulators who feared the implications of acknowledging fatal cases. Now, comes the explosive memo from FDA vaccine chief Dr Vinay Prasad, confirming — for the first time — that US regulators have formally attributed at least 10 of these
What Else We Know
It was the first case-by-case evaluation of paediatric deaths conducted since the vaccines were authorised. The review identified twenty-five children whose deaths occurred following vaccination. Those findings were expected to be presented to ACIP on 18–19 September. Instead, without explanation, the discussion disappeared from the agenda. Even FDA Commissioner Dr Marty Makary had hinted at the findings on CNN, saying, “We’ve been looking into the VAERS database self-reports, [and] there have been children that have died from the Covid vaccine.” He described an “intense” investigation involving doctors, autopsies, and family interviews. Yet ACIP heard nothing.
