Former FDA chief Dr Marty Makary stated in 2025 that the agency knew of children who died after receiving Covid-19 vaccines. His comments came during a CNN interview and sparked debate over how the FDA handled such reports.

In September 2025, then-FDA Commissioner Dr Marty Makary confirmed on CNN that the agency had records of children dying after Covid-19 vaccination. He noted that officials were actively reviewing these cases at the time.

Makary’s remarks highlighted growing questions about how the FDA managed safety data on the vaccines for young people. Reports of deaths had already surfaced, yet the agency faced internal disagreements on how to respond publicly.

The issue raised concerns about transparency in vaccine oversight. Families and health experts continue to seek clear answers on any links between the shots and rare but serious outcomes in children.
