In an explosive internal memo dated November 29, 2025, addressed to staff at the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Director Vinay Prasad announced an unprecedented official acknowledgment: COVID-19 vaccines had caused the deaths of at least 10 American children. This document, obtained by media outlets such as Reuters and The Washington Post, marks a major turning point driven by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. It follows the reforms initiated by the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), which ended the universal recommendation of COVID-19 vaccines in September 2025. Let’s analyze the key elements of this email, the reactions on Twitter, and the potential repercussions in France, in connection with the end of the ACIP’s universal recommendation of COVID-19 vaccines and the interview with MEP Gerald Hauser.
The key elements of the email : a historic admission and radical reforms (1)
Prasad’s email, described as a “profound revelation “ by its author, is based on an internal analysis of VAERS (Vehicle Adverse Event Reporting System) reports. Here are the key points extracted from the document:
- Acknowledgment of pediatric deaths: For the first time, the FDA admits that COVID-19 vaccines killed at least 10 American children, with a “probable/possible” attribution linked to effects such as myocarditis. Prasad notes that this number is an underestimate due to underreporting and biases in the VAERS system. He writes: “This is a profound revelation. For the first time, the US FDA will admit that COVID-19 vaccines have killed American children.” These cases involve healthy children, ages 7 to 16, who faced minimal risk of death from COVID but were “constrained” by school or work mandates under the Biden administration. The email emphasizes that the agency had never publicly acknowledged these deaths, despite reports dating back to 2021-2024.
- Criticism of previous agency actions and the approval process : Prasad sharply criticizes the past actions of the FDA and CDC, accusing them of “abdicating their duty” in the face of the myocarditis signal first detected by Israel in 2021. He cites delays in recognizing side effect signals to extend authorizations to 12-15 year olds, and a lack of mitigation strategies (dose spacing, dose reduction for younger age groups). The email points to methodological biases in observational studies, such as the “healthy vaccinated bias”, and an overuse of immunosuppressants rather than randomized controlled trials. He questions whether vaccination programs have saved more children than they have killed, noting the lack of reliable data on absolute benefits for young people.
- New direction for vaccines: The FDA is imposing stricter standards. For non-at-risk groups (children, healthy adults), manufacturers will have to provide randomized, placebo-controlled trials demonstrating efficacy and safety at clinical endpoints (not just antibodies). COVID-19 vaccines for 2025-2026 will be limited to those over 65 or with comorbidities. Prasad is calling for cultural introspection within the FDA, criticizing media leaks and past conflicts (the departures of Drs. Gruber and Krause in 2021). He is demanding a review of the frameworks for flu vaccines and an end to surrogate-based authorizations, treating vaccines like any other drug. Those who disagree are encouraged to resign.
These elements reflect an erosion of confidence in vaccine policies, amplified by the reforms of Kennedy Jr., who replaced ACIP members in June 2025 with more critical profiles.

Reactions to X: a heated debate between justification, revenge, and anger
The email sparked a wave of reactions on X, where users and organizations welcomed this unexpected “justification” while also calling for accountability. The Brownstone Institute, an organization critical of pandemic policies, shared a post describing the memo as a “global shock“ that could “dismantle the entire US vaccination program”, focusing on COVID-19 mandates.
Other posts highlight the historic admission:
- Sayer Ji : “In a stunning reversal, the FDA confirms that COVID-19 vaccines have killed American children. At least ten deaths confirmed, with many more likely. History is turning”.
- @henrybenedict_X : “ALERT: The FDA director admits for the first time that COVID vaccines have killed children. A profound revelation”.
- @Quo_vadis_BRD (Stefanie): Quote the email, noting the understatement calling for a catastrophe that could have been avoided.
- @TW_Truth: “The FDA admits children died. They called it ‘safe and effective’ by burying the bodies. Nuremberg 2.0”.
Criticism is also emerging, such as @creekthing21 echoing an NBC article stating that “vaccine experts said the memo was irresponsible and omitted key details about how officials reached that conclusion”. Furthermore, Dr. Robert Malone, inventor of mRNA technology and now a member of the ACIP (Advisory Committee on Immunizing Products), explained that we are experiencing “a revolution for vaccine regulations and approvals”, and could not elaborate further as he was under embargo due to ACIP terms. The next ACIP meeting is scheduled for December 8, 2025.
Thank you for reposting -public health is about to undergo a revolution. https://t.co/u4lxMmNnVW

Overall, reactions range from celebrating forced transparency to anger over delays, with calls for judicial investigations.
Consequences in France: towards a European reassessment inspired by the United States?
This American revelation could have profound repercussions in France, where authorities are maintaining a proactive vaccination strategy despite growing distrust (52% of French people have lost confidence in vaccination due to perceived “ lies “ from the government). The ACIP’s decision of September 19, 2025 – a unanimous vote (12-0) to abandon the universal recommendation in favor of a “shared decision“ – already underscores global implications.
Motivated by methodological biases (such as the “14-day rule“ masking immediate effects), underestimations of serious side effects (myocarditis, thrombosis), and independent reanalyses showing an unfavorable benefit-risk ratio for low-risk patients, this measure reflects the criticisms of Prasad. In Europe, it could pressure the European Medicines Agency (EMA) to reassess its positions, based on similar data.
The exclusive interview with Gerald Hauser , Member of the European Parliament (Patriots for Europe group), for France-Soir reinforces this link. Hauser accuses the European Commission of having “played Russian roulette with the health of 450 million Europeans” through secret contracts with Pfizer (exempt from liability), a political authorization without complete safety data, and a massive underreporting of side effects (potentially 30 million in Europe, including 250,000 extrapolated deaths).
He calls for a special investigation, the resignation of Ursula von der Leyen, and alignment with the ACIP: an end to general recommendations for COVID-19 vaccines, a return to rigorous trials, and “never again“ such a catastrophe. In France, this could amplify demands from associations like BonSens.org for an independent reassessment of side effects (such as the cases raised by pharmacist Amine Umlil), and exacerbate disagreements with the authorities (ANSM), potentially leading to a “one vaccine, two worlds “ polarization between a reformed United States and an inert Europe.
This email from the FDA is not just an American admission: it could catalyze a global reassessment, forcing France and Europe to confront their own biases and prioritize transparency to restore public trust, which is at its lowest point.
