Rates have declined significantly in more recent years as the recommended interval between the first and second doses in the initial series has been lengthened for the mRNA vaccines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, the FDA said in May that it was&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2025\/05\/21\/health\/fda-covid-vaccine-warning-heart-inflammation\">requiring<\/a>&nbsp;safety warnings in the prescribing information for&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/dailymed.nlm.nih.gov\/dailymed\/fda\/fdaDrugXsl.cfm?setid=48c86164-de07-4041-b9dc-f2b5744714e5&amp;type=display\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pfizer<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/dailymed.nlm.nih.gov\/dailymed\/fda\/fdaDrugXsl.cfm?setid=f96b315c-fa57-4876-a7e5-a9b584d8e6e6&amp;type=display\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Moderna\u2019s<\/a>&nbsp;Covid-19 vaccines about the risk of myocarditis and pericarditis, or inflammation of the tissue surrounding the heart, to be expanded to a broader age range. The labels now say, \u201cthe observed risk has been highest in males 12 years through 24 years of age.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Tuesday, Children\u2019s Health Defense, the nonprofit led by Kennedy before his presidential bid, filed a citizen petition saying the agency should revoke the licenses for the vaccines. It&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.regulations.gov\/document\/FDA-2025-P-6831-0001\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">argues that the mRNA vaccines<\/a>&nbsp;are misbranded because they were initially approved under the standards of emergency use authorizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>HHS also&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2025\/12\/09\/health\/fda-covid-vaccine-investigation\">said<\/a>&nbsp;this week that the FDA was looking into whether deaths \u201cacross multiple age groups\u201d might be related to Covid-19 vaccines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prasad\u2019s memo, which promised an overhaul of how the FDA regulates vaccines more broadly, drew alarm from outside public health experts, many of whom demanded to see the data supporting Prasad\u2019s claims. A dozen former FDA commissioners wrote an&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2025\/12\/03\/health\/vaccine-threat-warning-fda-cdc-acip\">open letter<\/a>&nbsp;published in the New England Journal of Medicine expressing concern around \u201csweeping new FDA assertions about vaccine safety.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"death-by-a-thousand-cuts\">\u2018Death by a thousand cuts\u2019<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s happening now is death by a thousand cuts,\u201d said one person familiar with how the agency works, who declined to be named because they were not authorized to share the information with a reporter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recent messaging by the administration that goes against established scientific evidence \u2013 saying, for example, that vaccines are riskier when given together and that kids get too many vaccines that have potentially dangerous ingredients \u2013 is working to weaken the public\u2019s confidence in lifesaving shots, the person said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat we\u2019re watching is misinformation and lies in aggregate that will discourage the population from vaccination. It will lead us to, ultimately, to having loss of life unnecessarily, and it\u2019s very disturbing,\u201d the person added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Aaron Kesselheim, who runs the Program on Regulation, Therapeutics and Law at Harvard University, said these kinds of warnings can be initiated by the manufacturer or the FDA, but typically, the agency notifies the public that it\u2019s looking into a safety question around a drug or vaccine. It may also convene an advisory committee \u2014 a panel of independent outside experts \u2013 to publicly vet the safety data and give advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>None of these steps seems to have been taken so far. The FDA\u2019s media office didn\u2019t respond to a question about whether the agency planned to hold an advisory committee meeting on the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI guess my concern is that in this case, there\u2019s not a process,\u201d said Kesselheim, who has studied the impact of black box warnings on drug labels. \u201cThere isn\u2019t that same opportunity for discussion and good-faith review of the data on which this decision is being made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy concern is that this will be seen as yet another in the long line of decisions that this FDA is making based on its own political goals, rather than after a dutiful and thoughtful and public review of the science.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"antig-2278760106\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\" aria-label=\"Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:75\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:192\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CNN-The US Food and Drug Administration intends to put a \u201cblack box\u201d warning on Covid-19 vaccines, according to two people familiar with the agency\u2019s plans.
