Question for written answer  E-002019/2022
to the Commission
Rule 138
Ioannis Lagos (NI)

Greece has recently been shaken by a flood of daily reports of an unprecedented series of sudden deaths among healthy children and adolescents. Furthermore, forensic experts are unable to provide any clear explanation for this. At the same time, the data from the Greek Statistical Service bear overwhelming evidence to what is happening, giving rise to serious alarm. The unexplained deaths of 33 children between five and nine years of age and 37 between the ages of 10 and 14 (a total of 70) were recorded in 2020, the figures for 2021 being 37 and 43 respectively (a total of 80). In the first half of 2022 alone, the number of children and adolescents aged up to 19 who have died in this way already totals 138.

In view of this:

• 1.Is the Commission planning to provide research funding in a bid to enable experts to draw reliable conclusions as to the cause of this surge in sudden deaths of children and adolescents?
• 2.Has it received in-depth scientific research findings confirming that the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine used to inoculate children and adolescents in Greece is in fact safe for that purpose, thereby excluding the possibility of the vaccine being responsible for the this wave of deaths among of children and adolescents?
