Trump health officials plan to include the pediatric deaths claim in a presentation next week to an influential panel of advisers to the CDC that is considering new coronavirus vaccine recommendations, which affect access to the shots and whether they’re free.
The plan has alarmed some career scientists who say that coronavirus vaccines have been extensively studied, including in children, and that the dangers of the virus itself are being underplayed. While Trump health officials are investigating deaths due to vaccines, CDC staff in June presented data to the same vaccine committee showing that at least 25 children died who had had covid-associated hospitalizations since July 2023. That number, the staff said, was probably an undercount, and of the 16 children old enough for vaccination, none was up to date on vaccines.
