United States: No evidence that 25 children died from the Covid-19 vaccine
Claims circulating online suggest that 25 children in the United States died after receiving a Covid-19 vaccine. However, there is no credible evidence to support this assertion. The allegation is based on misinterpretation of the VAERS database, a system that collects unverified reports of health incidents following vaccination.
VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) is a tool jointly managed by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). While it allows healthcare professionals and the public to report any adverse event after vaccination, the database itself does not confirm causality. Reports can be incomplete, inaccurate, or coincidental, and anyone—including individuals opposed to vaccination—can submit information without verification.
Experts note that similar entries have previously linked vaccines to unrelated incidents, such as car accidents, underscoring the system’s limitations. Public health authorities stress that Covid-19 vaccines remain safe and effective, with ongoing monitoring confirming their benefits outweigh any risks.
The rumor gained traction after being amplified by conspiracy theorists and anti-vaccine influencers on social media, but no official health institution has established a connection between childhood deaths and Covid-19 vaccination.
