BTCCSquare news:
Shares of vaccine manufacturers Pfizer (PFE), BioNTech (BNTX), and Moderna (MRNA) tumbled 7%, 8%, and 4%, respectively, following a Washington Post report alleging a connection between COVID-19 vaccines and 25 child fatalities. The claim, drawn from unverified VAERS data, is expected to be presented to a CDC advisory panel—a body instrumental in shaping U.S. vaccination policy.
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has already rolled back COVID-19 shot recommendations for healthy children and pregnant women while tightening vaccine approval protocols. Market sentiment soured further as federal scrutiny of adverse event reports intensified, though VAERS data remains unvetted and includes unconfirmed patient and physician submissions.
