Prasad's emailed memo, a copy of which was reviewed by Axios, said no fewer than 10 children's deaths were linked to the vaccines, based on an intial review of 96 deaths between 2021 and 2024 reported to the federal Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System.
Prasad called the findings a "profound revelation" and called for swift action, including "pre-market randomized trials assessing clinical endpoints for most new products."

Shame that active viral infections cause thousands of cases of myocarditis/pericarditis/endocarditis and hundreds of deaths in the U.S. annually, and COVID-19 is no exception.
There's a serious rewrite of history going on here, because during the pandemic, hundreds of unvaccinated children died from COVID-19, whether due to respiratory distress from preexisting asthma, multi-system inflammatory disease, myocarditis/pericarditis, or other complications. Thousands more developed long COVID. All the evidence is that vaccination is far safer than non-vaccinated status regardless of age, and that prior COVID-19 infection predisposes to worse outcomes (including from subsequent vaccination).
All that being said, there is evidence of a dose-dependent risk of myocarditis, highest in adolescent males at around age 16-19 receiving mRNA vaccines. In the interest of safety, dosage should be adjusted by body weight. That's not an argument for the hysteria that's being promoted by the RFK cohort, though.
