Senator Ron Johnson raised concerns during an exchange with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. regarding a memo he said originated from a senior official within the Food and Drug Administration, describing findings tied to child deaths following COVID-19 mRNA vaccinations.

Johnson said the memo was “apparently from CBER director, Doctor Prasad,” and referenced its contents as part of an FDA review.

He stated the document described an internal analysis involving “96 autopsies of child death following the covid mRNA injection.”

According to Johnson, the memo included language he described as significant in acknowledging outcomes tied to the vaccines.

“In that memo, Doctor Persad writes, this is a profound revelation,” Johnson said.

He continued, “For the first time, the US FDA will acknowledge that covid 19 vaccines killed American children, healthy young children who face tremendously low risk of death.”

Johnson added that these children were “coerced at the behest of the Biden administration via school and work mandates to receive a vaccine that could result in death.”

Johnson said the memo raised questions about the impact of pandemic-era mandates. “In many cases, such mandates were harmful,” he said.

He described the material in the document as difficult to review, stating, “It is difficult. It is difficult to read cases where kids seven to 16 may be dead as a result of covid vaccines.”

He continued by referencing the broader implications outlined in the memo.

“Putting these facts together, it is horrifying to consider the US vaccine regulation, including our actions, may have harmed more children than we saved,” Johnson said.

He added that the memo called for further examination of regulatory decisions. “This requires humility and introspection. It requires oversight.”

Johnson said he had previously sought information from the FDA regarding these issues. “So I wrote a letter to you and your agency back on December 15th,” he said.

He added that he had not received complete responses to his inquiries. “Of the 10 responses, I got three out of 10,” Johnson said.

He continued, “No responses, no response in terms of the documents I requested.”

The senator then directly asked for a commitment regarding transparency and cooperation.

“So I'm asking you, please, will you commit to responding fully to my oversight, my December oversight letter?” Johnson said.

Kennedy responded briefly, stating, “You have my 100% commitment.”
