Mike Dawson and Adam Carolla discussed new revelations about an internal FDA memo concerning child deaths following COVID-19 vaccination, leading to a broader critique of how pandemic information was handled and how parents responded to official guidance.

The exchange centered on a staff memo from the Food and Drug Administration’s vaccine division and Carolla’s reaction to the agency’s communication decisions.

Dawson opened by summarizing the memo.

He said, “New director of the Food and Drug Administration’s vaccine division told his agency in a staff memo that an internal review found that at least 10 children died after and because of receiving the covid vaccine.”

Carolla reacted by comparing the reported deaths to outcomes for healthy children who contracted COVID-19.

He said, “Well, look, if they’re healthy, then that’s more kids than died of covid while healthy. It’s all the kids. It all back to the kids. Every roads to the kids. That’s all they did was the kids.” Carolla argued that fear-based messaging targeted parents.

“That’s all they did was scare dumb mamas. Dumb mamas controlled the House, and dumb mamas became their foot soldiers and did their fucking bidding,” he said.

Carolla said he believed pandemic restrictions and recommended treatments were shaped through messaging directed at parents.

“So it’s basically like, you go, Look, what do you want? You go, Well, I want everyone to not take ivermectin and not take hydroxychloroquine and get vaccinated and stay in and shut shut, shelter in place and wipe everything out with pure out. You are not going to get that done with me. You will get it done with a dumb ass wife. You poison her brain and you get to her, and then she inflicts. She is the disciplinarian. She lays down all the rules, the covid rules at the house, right? And the way you get her is you scare her about kids. That’s what works with her so, kids, kids, kids,” he said.

Carolla argued that the public conversation about children and risk would have been different if health agencies had shared more information early.

“If they had just said at the beginning of this, you know, it doesn’t really appear to harm healthy kids. It just doesn’t, it just doesn’t seem to have it’s like maybe a flu or cold to a healthy young person. So it doesn’t really seem to affect kids. It would have been a totally different trajectory,” he said.

He added, “We would have shut the schools down. We wouldn’t have shut society if they have shut this told us what they knew about kids, then we would have gone a different direction.”

Carolla said he believed the FDA intentionally withheld information.

“But they never did. They never did. They wouldn’t because they held that they guarded that information,” he said.

He argued that releasing the information would have changed parental behavior.

“Once you let the kids off the danger hook, like if you said, it doesn’t appear to really be dangerous to Healthy Kids, then every mom in the world would have stopped enforcing all the retarded edicts they put before her,” he said.

Carolla said parents vaccinated their children based on fear and misinformation.

“That’s why the dumb moms got the fucking kids vaccinated and was totally unnecessary For them, absolutely and now it’s dangerous. Thanks, moms, great job,” he said.

He closed by urging parents to question guidance rather than follow it automatically, saying, “Next time ask a fucking question, would you please before you light your count your Fauci candle fucking dumb shits? Yep, everyone in this fucking safety sphere and all this thing, it’s fucking us up. You guys fucked up your kids in the name of safety. Good job. Moms, smart keep listening to dopes who lie to you.”
