From a stunning report that confirms, again, skeptics’ concerns over the deadly impact of the COVID-19 shots created by pharmaceutical companies and sold for billions of dollars to the American government during the pandemic, it’s known that federal officials linked those shots to child deaths at the time – and the Biden administration kept it a secret.
Investigative journalist Catherine Herridge has reported online the Joe Biden administration “suppressed” details about COVID shot pediatric deaths as well as the total death count.
She cited a study done on children who died, of which a number died of the effects “possibly” or “probably” related to the COVID shots.
EXCLUSIVE: Records via @SenRonJohnson Allege Biden Administration Suppressed COVID Vaccine Pediatric Deaths and Total Death Count “Grossly UnderReported”

A RedState commentary by Ben Smith elaborated.
“While the Biden administration was telling parents the COVID vaccines were safe for their children, its own FDA (Food and Drug Administration) doctors were quietly reviewing files on 96 dead kids and concluding that some of them had probably been killed by the shots.”
He said, “They wrote it up. They classified it as new safety information under federal law. And they never told the public.”
It was Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., who released records this week of the situation. Along with documentation of the problem, he told Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that FDA officials at the time were given details of a new algorithm that included dozens of “safety signals” for serious adverse events, including sudden cardiac death, pulmonary infarction and more.
But “instead of alerting the public, FDA decided to continue to use the old algorithm that they knew hid safety signals. That algorithm allowed them to insist they weren’t seeing safety signals for serious adverse events, and that the adverse events they did observe were generally described as rare and mild. They could be confident they would never find what they weren’t looking for.”
The letter from Johnson pointed out that there were 1,675,590 reports of adverse events from the shots, including 39,077 deaths, of which 9,329 happened “within 2 days of vaccination.”
Smith’s report said of the evidence, “The key document is a December 5, 2025, FDA memorandum. It covers 96 pediatric deaths following COVID-19 vaccination reported to VAERS, the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, a federal database where patients and doctors report side effects following vaccination. FDA medical officers reviewed every case, including autopsy reports, death certificates, and medical records, and classified seven as ‘possibly’ or ‘probably’ related to the vaccine. Five of those seven deaths involved myocarditis.”
Those fatal cases actually were “new safety information” under federal law, but the report said it never was added to the shots’ labels. “Not while the Biden administration was mandating the shots. Not while it was pressuring parents. Not while it was dismissing anyone who raised concerns as an anti-vaxxer.”
The children were mostly boys, ages 7-16. “Every death occurred between 2021 and 2022, the height of the government’s vaccination campaign targeting children. All seven probable and possible cases involved the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. These were not statistics. These were children with autopsy reports and death certificates that FDA doctors reviewed, flagged, and quietly shelved,” Smith explained.
Further, he noted, “Those 96 deaths are almost certainly a fraction of the real toll. An HHS-commissioned Harvard study found that fewer than one percent of vaccine adverse events are ever reported to VAERS.”
He also confirmed that the patients treated from injuries from COVID shots “were allegedly told to stay quiet, promised that a study would eventually be published acknowledging what had happened to them. That study was never published. Their injuries were never officially acknowledged.”
Now Johnson is demanding records on pediatric vaccine deaths.
Smith noted, “These are not outside critics reading spreadsheets. These are the FDA’s own doctors, in the FDA’s own files, concluding that children probably died from vaccines the government was mandating for school attendance, pushing on military families, and pressuring parents to accept under threat of being called dangerous extremists.”
Did Otto Penn pardon himself?
Time for the vaccine cultist to come running in telling us how all this is false and the clot shot is the safest medicine in the world.
Biden and Co. have more than child deaths blood on their hands millions of illegals doing rape and murder too.
HE WAS PREOCCUPIED AT THE TIME............
Because that information was considered “misinformation”
and ‘Fake News’................
There seems to be a huge focus on the 96 dead children. Tragic, certainly. But the number 39,077 is a lot larger than the number 96. I'm not clear on why the larger number is not emphasized. Seems pretty shocking.
Also note that the 1976 Swine Flu Vaccine was considered a disaster and had to be pulled because almost 400 people developed Guillain-Barré syndrome after receiving the vaccine.
Not this or that corrupt individual. It was a Democratic Party major strategy and all the big players were OK with it.
We need war crimes trials and mass executions. But that won't happen at all.
Can we ever look forward to Biden getting a prison term?
No, they would claim he’s incompetent to stand trial...............
can we ppplllleeeeeaaaasssssseeeee lock someone up now?
They are screaming it now.
we just can’t hear it from under all the dirt on top of them.
Thanks to medical coding, the info was available immediately.
They knew right away.
They covered it up.
And they wonder why people aren’t clamoring for Big Pharma to rush hantavirus shots into production
There are private schools that demanded their students take the not-a-vaccine or they could not return to class. I wonder if any of them will ever apologize to their students
Nope. It would be co$tly to do so................
YES.
We lost a healthy 38-year-old grandson, father of 3, to the vaccine...
