FDA intends to put its most serious warning on Covid vaccines, sources say

The FDA plans to add a "black box" warning to Covid-19 vaccines, the agency's most serious alert. This decision, involving Dr. Vinay Prasad, has drawn criticism as it lacks clear justification for such a serious warning. Boxed warnings usually indicate significant risks, like death or severe side effects.

While vaccine manufacturers Moderna and Pfizer affirm their vaccines' safety, some experts express concern about the potential impact on public confidence in vaccinations. Critics argue that political motives might be influencing FDA decisions on vaccine safety. Public health officials fear misinformation could increase vaccine hesitancy, leading to unnecessary deaths.
