The FDA funded the study and conducted it as part of itsBiologics Effectiveness and Safety (BEST) System. However, the report included a disclaimer stating that it “should not be construed to represent FDA’s views or policies.”
Karl Jablonowski, Ph.D.,Children’s Health Defense(CHD) senior research scientist, said it was noteworthy that an FDA-led study confirming a vaccine’s downside was published in a major journal. “That likely wouldn’t have happened a few years ago,” he said.
The FDA did not respond toThe Defenderwhen asked if the agency publicly announced the febrile seizure safety signal for Moderna’s vaccine in March 2024, when the study was first published as apreprint.
Last month, the FDA asked the makers of severalflu vaccinesto add a warning that thevaccinescan cause febrile seizures in young children.
