HHS to Link COVID-19 Vaccines to the Deaths of 25 Children: Vaccine Stocks Plunge
Originally published: 2025-09-17
The Market's Wake-Up Call
On September 12, 2025, shares of Pfizer and Moderna took a nosedive, Moderna dropping about 7.4% and Pfizer around 3% in midday trading, following a bombshell report from The Washington Post. Incoming Trump administration health officials, led by figures under Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., are set to present evidence linking COVID-19 vaccines to the deaths of 25 children. This presentation, slated for next week's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) meeting, draws from reports in the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), shining a light on potential risks that have been downplayed for years.
This isn't just a stock dip; it's a seismic shift signaling the end of an era where Big Pharma's influence went unchecked. For too long, the narrative around COVID shots has been dominated by assurances of safety, but as RFK Jr.'s policies take hold, the veil is lifting, revealing uncomfortable truths that investors can no longer ignore.

Unverified No More: The VAERS Revelations
VAERS, a database where anyone can report adverse events, has logged these 25 child death cases potentially tied to the vaccines. While establishment voices rush to label these as "unverified" and insist on no proven causation, the sheer volume of reports demands attention. Extensive studies may claim no link, but under RFK Jr.'s leadership, the Trump administration is pushing for real investigation, not dismissal.
This move aligns with broader efforts to restrict COVID shots for vulnerable groups like children, where the risks of the virus itself pale in comparison to potential vaccine harms for many. It's a bold step toward accountability, one that vaccine makers like Pfizer and Moderna have long evaded through their cozy ties with regulators.
Establishment Backlash: Grasping at Straws
Predictably, career scientists and public health "experts" are in uproar, decrying this as misinformation that could erode trust in vaccines. Polls show some parents already hesitant, but let's call this what it is: desperate attempts to cling to power as the collusion between the state, pharma giants, and organized medicine crumbles under RFK Jr.'s reforms.
These critics, entrenched in a system that prioritized profits over people, are grasping at straws, insisting on "extensive studies" funded by the very industry they're defending. Meanwhile, the FDA is quietly reviewing similar VAERS data, a tacit admission that these concerns aren't baseless. The backlash isn't about science; it's about preserving a failing status quo.

The Bigger Picture: Dismantling the Collusion
RFK Jr., a longtime advocate for vaccine safety, is at the helm of this transformation. His appointment as HHS Secretary marks the dismantling of a corrupt alliance that pushed experimental shots on the public with minimal oversight. As policies shift to prioritize evidence over expediency, Big Pharma's stranglehold weakens, evident in the market's reaction and the growing public debate on social media.
This isn't anti-science; it's pro-transparency. With COVID itself causing far fewer pediatric deaths in recent data, many among the unvaccinated, the push for universal shots looks increasingly like overreach. Under RFK's guidance, we're entering an age where health decisions are based on real risks, not revenue streams.
A New Dawn for Public Health
As Pfizer and Moderna's stocks reflect investor jitters, the real story is hope: a future where accountability reigns. RFK Jr.'s policies are exposing flaws in the system, forcing a reckoning that's long overdue. While the old guard clings to their narratives, the truth is emerging, and it's bad news for those who profited from the status quo.
