France Raises Alarm over ‘Very Disturbing’ Spike in Sudden Deaths of Babies Since Introduction of New RSV Vaccine

“Independent researchers discovered a “very alarming” and “disturbing” spike in newborn deaths in France coinciding with the rollout of vaccines for infants. This increase, the researchers said, coincides with the introduction of Beyfortus RSV vaccine in French hospitals, which began on Sept. 15, 2023. The drug is offered as a “one-time shot for infants born just before or during the RSV season and for those less than 8 months old before the season starts,” and for some high-risk 8- to 19-month-old infants.”
