Black box warnings, also called “boxed” warnings, are the FDA’s most serious warning label, used to indicate that a drug is associated with a serious hazard, often including death or life-threatening reactions. For example, some opioids have boxed warnings for addiction, overdose and death. Several antidepressants carry a boxed warning because they are linked to suicidality in young people. Boxed warning speculation follows recent probes into vaccine safety The report comes days after the FDA announced it is expanding its probe into COVID-19 vaccine-related deaths to adults, after initially confirming that the agency was investigating the deaths of 10 children who died after receiving the shot. In September, the FDA initiated an “intense investigation” into the deaths of children who received the COVID-19 vaccine. The investigation drew from reports filed in the VAERS by the FDA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). As of Dec. 5, there were 38,913 reports of deaths following COVID-19 vaccines filed in VAERS among all age groups, according to OpenVAERS. More recent numbers are not publicly available. However, the actual number of deaths is likely much higher. VAERS historically has been shown to report less than 1% of all adverse events. A 2022 audit by React19, an organization advocating on behalf of COVID-19 vaccine injury victims and their families, found that 1 in 3 COVID-19 vaccine adverse event reports in VAERS were not posted publicly or were deleted. In April, the FDA issued letters to Pfizer and Moderna, informing them they must revise their COVID-19 vaccine labels to include more detailed warnings about the risks of heart damage, including myocarditis. The FDA told vaccine makers in May they must expand the age group they say is at risk for vaccine-related myocarditis and pericarditis, and warn that myocardial injury can be lasting among those who suffer it, the agency said. The warnings mandated at that time were limited to those adverse events. Is boxed warning too little too late? After a leaked memo confirmed that the FDA was investigating child deaths associated with the COVID-19 vaccine, former FDA officials denounced the claims and said the FDA had responded to safety concerns with the vaccine as they arose. However, Freedom of Information Act requests by CHD and others have shown that HHS officials under the Biden administration avoided issuing a formal warning to the American public — ignoring safety signals indicating the COVID-19 vaccines could cause myocarditis and pericarditis, especially in young men. Well before the public health agencies informed the public of the possible risk, the CDC, FDA, U.S. Department of Defense, Pfizer and the Israeli Ministry of Health had documented evidence of myocarditis shortly after vaccination, predominantly in 16- to 24-year-old males. However, they didn’t publicly share that information. They also ignored warnings in VAERS, documents showed. Earlier this month, FDA Commissioner Marty Makary acknowledged that the agency sat on the data under his predecessor. Dr. Peter McCullough, a cardiologist who sounded the alarm early on about the risks of myocarditisand pericarditis from the vaccines, said in an email to The Defender that adding a boxed warning to the shots now is “far too late.” McCullough said: “HHS and the White House had fatal cases reported to them in early 2021 and worked to hide the evidence from the public. This was revealed in the May 21, 2025, US Senate Hearing by the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations led by Senator Ron Johnson. “‘The Corruption of Science and Federal Health Agencies: How Health Officials COVID-19 Vaccines’ generated a report that was ignored by the current FDA for over six months! “The public should be asking, why the change now? More importantly, why aren’t all COVID-19 vaccines pulled from the market to protect the public from more fatal injuries?” For years, scientists, researchers and members of the public have been calling on the FDA to pull the shots from the market as evidence that the vaccines are potentially harmful continues to grow. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/fda-potential-covid-vaccine-black-box- warning-cnn-adverse-effects/ diana dreiss
