Fact Check: Did 10 Children Die From COVID Vaccination?

Media Bias Fact Check (MBFC) publishes daily vetted fact checks from verified IFCN-approved sources. Each claim is independently reviewed for accuracy and context.

Claimant: FDA official Vinay Prasad

Claim: “At least 10 children have died after and because of receiving COVID-19 vaccination,” based solely on VAERS entries.

Rating: UNPROVEN

Explanation: Prasad offered no case details, verification, or medical evidence connecting the reported deaths to vaccination. Experts emphasize that VAERS reports alone cannot establish causation, and CDC/FDA surveillance has identified no increase in child mortality linked to COVID-19 vaccines. Serious adverse events remain extremely rare.
