WASHINGTON – The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
announced it plans to soon release a report with data that, according to its
own analysis, shows a possible association between the COVID-19 vaccine and 25
deaths in children. The revelation has sparked intense debate in the medical,
scientific, and political communities regarding the safety of vaccines
administered during the pandemic.
According to a preview of the document, the FDA emphasized
that the identified cases are still under review and do not constitute
definitive evidence of causality. “These data are preliminary and should be
interpreted with caution,” said an agency spokesperson, who insisted that the
vaccines are still considered safe and effective in preventing severe COVID-19
and associated mortality.
The announcement comes at a time when various sectors of
American society are demanding greater transparency regarding the adverse
effects of biologics approved during the health emergency. Public health
experts warned that the release of the report could fuel misinformation and
provide new ammunition for anti-vaccine movements, despite the fact that the
vast majority of international studies continue to confirm a positive balance
of safety and efficacy.
Meanwhile, Republican lawmakers have demanded congressional
hearings to evaluate the FDA's findings and question the accelerated approval
processes used during the pandemic. For its part, the White House called for
calm and reaffirmed its confidence in regulatory agencies, while highlighting
that childhood vaccination has contributed to reducing hospitalizations and
deaths from COVID-19 in children.
The full FDA report will be presented in the coming weeks to
an independent advisory committee, tasked with evaluating the available
evidence and issuing updated recommendations on the use of vaccines in the
pediatric population.
