“COVID-19 Vaccines Black Box Warning, Safety, and Liability: What Families Need to Know”

During his 2024 Saviours’ Day Address, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan delivered a clear warning to the public: “Don’t take the vaccine!” Looking back, many are now asking, was that caution justified? The important point is that someone was speaking up for the people, especially at a time when many of us didn’t have the full picture or the ability to question what we were being told.

Minister Farrakhan’s message aligns with concerns that have emerged regarding the COVID-19 vaccines. Reports indicate that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration was aware that these new vaccines carried potential risks, yet the rollout moved forward. Dr. Vladimir Zelenko, who gained international attention for successfully treating COVID-19 patients with repurposed medications, shared insights in an interview with NoqReport.com.

He noted that as early as October 2020, two months before the vaccines were made widely available, the FDA conducted an internal briefing for its scientists that included a slide listing possible side effects, such as death, heart attack, stroke, blood clots, neurological disorders, and myocarditis, among others.

Family, we want to share information that deserves careful attention. COVID-19 vaccines authorized in the United States carry FDA warnings about rare cases of myocarditis and pericarditis, forms of heart inflammation that have been seen most often in younger males. Many people recover, but doctors acknowledge that some follow-up heart scans show lingering signs that researchers are still working to fully understand. Today you may hear conversation about something called a “black box” warning.

A black box warning is the strongest caution the FDA can place on a medical product, meant to ensure patients and doctors carefully weigh serious risks against benefits. At this time, COVID vaccines do not carry a formal black box warning. Still, the fact that this discussion exists reminds us how important transparency and informed consent truly are. Not everyone in the medical and scientific community agrees on how risks should be communicated, and that disagreement makes open conversation even more important.

Beyond heart-related concerns, regulators require vaccination sites to be prepared for severe allergic reactions, and safety systems continue to monitor rare reports of other conditions. Health agencies maintain that, on a population level, vaccination benefits outweigh risks. But family, statistics don’t raise children, care for elders, or live inside individual bodies. Each person’s situation is personal, and informed choice should never be replaced by pressure or fear.

Family, this message is written with love, not judgment. It’s a conversation we would have sitting at the kitchen table or checking in with one another after prayer. Over the last few years, many of us were placed in uncomfortable positions when the COVID shot became tied to employment, travel, and everyday life.

Some people felt cornered, others felt confident, and many were simply unsure. In those moments, a serious question surfaced quietly in our homes and hearts: what is your life worth? Some trusted that if something was approved and promoted by government institutions, it must be safe. Others hesitated, not out of rebellion, but out of memory.

Our communities carry history. We remember times when authority figures did not protect us, when information was withheld, and when harm was done in the name of science or progress. The Tuskegee syphilis study is one such documented example, where Black men were deceived and denied treatment. While that tragedy involved power, secrecy, and disregard for Black lives, and that legacy still affects trust today.

We also remember how Indigenous communities suffered devastating disease outbreaks during colonization. Historical accounts, such as Roland G. Robertson’s Rotting Face: Smallpox and the American Indian, provide perspective on how epidemics have disproportionately affected marginalized communities, reinforcing the importance of caution and historical awareness.

In 2021, public discussions about vaccine policy included debate around legal responsibility. Attorney Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. raised concerns about liability protections within the vaccine industry, pointing out that some manufacturers operate under laws that limit their exposure to lawsuits.

At the same time, legal scholars have clarified that these protections are not universal. Some vaccines can and have been litigated, while COVID-19 vaccines fall under emergency laws that provide broader shields from liability. This isn’t shared to tell anyone what conclusion to draw, but to remind us that the system is complex, and understanding it matters when personal health decisions are involved.

We also have to speak honestly about responsibility. Many doctors were navigating an unprecedented moment, but rapid rollouts and limited long-term data left real questions unanswered. Just because something does not cause immediate harm does not mean there are no long-term effects. That truth applies to many medications we see advertised daily, each with a long list of side effects spoken quickly at the end of commercials. This reality should encourage us to think critically, ask questions, and seek practitioners who respect both medical science and preventative, holistic care.

More than ever, our well-being depends on the basics we can control. What we eat, how we move, how we rest, and how we manage stress all matter. Reading labels, understanding what we put into our bodies, and refusing to be driven solely by fear are acts of self-respect. If the people advising us on health do not model health themselves or refuse to answer honest questions, it is reasonable to seek additional perspectives.

This newsletter is offered as a prayer in written form. A prayer that we do not wait until harm reaches our doorstep before paying attention. A prayer that we learn from history without becoming bitter, and that we move forward informed, united, and grounded in love for ourselves and one another.

For those who choose to report suspected adverse reactions following vaccination, reports may be submitted to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, a national monitoring program jointly administered by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Reporting helps support transparency and ongoing safety monitoring but does not establish causation.
