Despite detecting a safety \u2062signal for seizures and convulsions in young children following Pfizer and Moderna\u200c COVID-19 vaccinations, the FDA \u2063has refused to disclose\u2063 when it\u2063 first identified this connection.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-5\">\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;It is important for the FDA to be completely transparent about the safety signal suggesting there may be an increased risk for seizures in young children following COVID-19 shots,&#8221; said Barbara Loe Fisher, founder and co-president of the National \u2062Vaccine Information Center.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p>The FDA&#8217;s lack of transparency has raised concerns among drug safety advocates, who argue that convulsions are known complications of\u200c other vaccines. They emphasize the importance of providing information\u200c to help\u200d individuals \u2063assess the risks for themselves, \u200despecially for parents with young\u200b children who have a history of seizures.<\/p>\n<h3>Data \u200bFrom Paper<\/h3>\n<p>In a preprint paper, researchers from \u2064the FDA and three <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fda-refuses-to-say-when-it-found-safety-signal-for-seizures-and-covid-vaccines-in-children\/\" title=\"FDA Silent on Discovery of Seizure Risk in Children from COVID Vaccines\">healthcare companies analyzed data<\/a> from health claims databases and identified 72 cases\u2062 of seizures\u2064 and convulsions in young children within seven days of receiving \u200ba COVID-19 vaccine. However,\u2064 the signal disappeared when background rates from 2022 were used, indicating the\u2064 need for \u2062further investigation.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these\u200c findings, the FDA has \u2062not issued an alert regarding the signal, unlike previous instances where signals \u2062were identified among \u200colder \u200cage groups. This delay in reporting \u200chas hindered other \u2064researchers from taking action.<\/p>\n<p>When questioned about\u2062 the FDA&#8217;s identification of the signal and whether it looked for\u200b the signal\u200d with more recent versions of the vaccines, an\u200c FDA spokeswoman expressed confidence in the safety and effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccines.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-5\">\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;The available data continue to demonstrate that the benefits of these vaccines outweigh their risks,&#8221; stated the\u200d FDA spokeswoman.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p>While \u2064Pfizer and Moderna have not provided comments on the matter, concerns remain regarding the FDA and\u200c CDC&#8217;s transparency issues surrounding COVID-19 vaccines. \u2063The agencies\u2064 have been criticized for hiding information, \u200bincluding signals, and refusing to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mich-ag-closes-larry-nassar-inquiry-after-msu-refuses-to-release-documents-related-to-case\/\" title=\"Mich.

It is essential that any potential risks associated with COVID-19 vaccines, including the possibility of seizures, are thoroughly \u2062investigated \u200cand \u2063communicated to the public. This allows parents \u2064to weigh the risks and benefits and \u200bmake the best\u2063 decision for their child&#8217;s well-being.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, \u2064the FDA has not provided any public statements regarding the\u2063 link between seizures \u200cand\u200b COVID-19 vaccines in children. This silence raises questions about the agency&#8217;s commitment to transparency and its \u2064duty to protect public health. It is imperative that the FDA addresses these concerns and provides clear and accurate information regarding \u200dthe safety of COVID-19 vaccines in children.<\/p>\n<p>The\u200b National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) has been \u2062advocating \u200bfor \u2062vaccine\u2064 safety and informed consent since its founding in 1982. They have called on the FDA to release all available data\u2062 and analysis regarding the potential link between seizures and COVID-19 vaccines \u2062in children. Transparency and open communication are crucial in maintaining trust in the vaccination process and ensuring that parents have the necessary information \u2064to make educated decisions about their\u2063 children&#8217;s health.<\/p>\n<p>In the\u200c absence of\u2062 official \u2062statements from the FDA, it is\u200c important for \u2063parents and healthcare professionals to \u200cstay informed through reputable sources such as medical \u200djournals and trustworthy\u200d health organizations. By seeking out credible\u2063 information and engaging in open discussions with healthcare providers, parents\u200c can \u200cmake informed decisions regarding COVID-19 vaccinations for their children.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, it \u200dis\u2062 the responsibility of drug regulators like the FDA to\u200b prioritize\u2064 public health\u2062 and safety. \u2064By providing timely \u200band complete information about potential risks associated with COVID-19 vaccines, the FDA can empower parents and healthcare professionals to \u2064make \u2064informed decisions and ensure the well-being\u2062 of\u200d children. \u2063The silence from \u2063the FDA on the possible link between seizures and COVID-19 vaccines in children is a disservice to \u200cthe public and must be addressed promptly.<\/p>\n<p>It is crucial that \u2062the FDA acts transparently and releases all available information\u2062 on \u200bthis safety signal.
