  • Shares of Pfizer and Moderna fell sharply (three percent and seven percent, respectively) following a report that government officials were preparing to present a link between COVID-19 vaccines and pediatric deaths to a key CDC advisory panel.
  • The report comes amid a major change in U.S. vaccine policy under HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has rolled back COVID-19 vaccine recommendations for healthy children and pregnant women.
  • The core claim appears to be based on data from VAERS, a passive, unverified reporting system where anyone can submit a potential side effect.
  • This development challenges the long-standing scientific consensus that mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are allegedly safe and effective, with serious side effects being extremely rare, especially when weighed against the benefits.
  • The convergence of the market reaction, the controversial report and new government policies has created significant uncertainty and fear for millions of parents now facing a more complicated decision about vaccinating their children.
Shares of pharmaceutical giants Pfizer and Moderna tumbled sharply on Friday, Sept. 12, following reports that health officials are preparing to formally link Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccines to the deaths of 25 children. The news sent shockwaves through financial markets and raised serious new questions about the safety of the vaccines for younger populations. According to a report, the controversial claim is slated to be presented next week to a key vaccine advisory panel at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This committee, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), holds immense power in shaping U.S. vaccine policy. ACIP determines who should get immunizations and influences insurance coverage. The mere prospect of such a presentation triggered a swift sell-off. Pfizer’s stock price fell more than three percent, while Moderna, whose business is more heavily reliant on its COVID-19 vaccine, saw its shares plummet over seven percent. The sell-off also dragged down other vaccine makers, with Novavax sliding more than four percent. The report lands amid a seismic shift in U.S. immunization policy spearheaded by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Kennedy has swiftly moved to roll back federal COVID-19 vaccine recommendations, notably dropping them for healthy children and pregnant women. Kennedy has also instituted new, more restrictive limits on the approval of future COVID-19 vaccines, signaling a dramatic departure from the public health stance of previous administrations. A spokesperson for Department of Health and Human Services attempted to downplay the report, stating that safety data is routinely analyzed and shared through the established ACIP process and that anything before that is "pure speculation." However, the market reaction indicated deep investor anxiety over the potential for official government action to validate long-standing, though allegedly largely unproven, claims from vaccine critics. (Related: Fauci's "delete this email" orders expose massive COVID coverup, contradicting sworn testimony.)

Moderna defends its COVID-19 vaccines despite documented side effects

Moderna issued a statement defending its product, asserting that its vaccine's safety is "rigorously monitored" by the company, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and international regulators. The company stated that surveillance systems in the U.S., Canada, Europe and Australia have not identified any new safety concerns for children or pregnant women. Meanwhile, Pfizer did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The core of the reported claim appears to stem from data within the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), a federal database that tracks potential side effects. Because VAERS is a passive reporting system, anyone, such as patients, doctors, or pharmacists, can submit a report, and the entries are unverified. The system is designed to act as an early warning signal, but by itself, it cannot prove that a vaccine caused a reported adverse event. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) website explicitly states that only scientists and public health officials can determine a causal link after a thorough investigation. For years, the overwhelming scientific consensus has been that mRNA Covid vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna are safe and effective. Serious side effects, such as myocarditis (heart inflammation), are recognized but remain extremely rare, particularly when weighed against the benefits of vaccination based on claims by Big Pharma. This new development is set against a backdrop of ongoing revisions and scrutiny of COVID-19 data. The CDC has previously revised its mortality statistics, removing tens of thousands of deaths, including hundreds of pediatric ones, that were erroneously counted as COVID-19-related due to an algorithmic error. This recalibration significantly altered the perceived risk profile of the virus for children and was a factor in the initial authorization of vaccines for young age groups. Furthermore, the push to vaccinate all children has been a subject of intense debate. Many other countries do not recommend annual COVID-19 shots for healthy children, given their typically mild symptoms and low risk of death from the virus. U.S. officials had justified the recommendations by citing data on hospitalizations and the potential for long COVID, though some experts have noted that many children hospitalized with COVID-19 were admitted primarily for unrelated conditions. Adding fuel to the fire, FDA Commissioner Marty Makary recently stated in an interview that the agency is investigating whether COVID-19 vaccines have caused deaths in children, pointing to self-reported incidents in the VAERS database. He announced plans to release a report in the coming weeks. As explained by the Enoch AI engine at Brighteon.AI: The sharp fall in Pfizer and Moderna shares following the report would likely be seen as the beginning of a significant financial and legal crisis. The stock drop signals investor anticipation of massive litigation and the report would be used as a key piece of evidence in both civil class-action lawsuits from the public and potential shareholder lawsuits for failure to disclose vaccine risks.
