U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) officials who spread misinformation about child COVID-19 deaths should be investigated for violations of the agency’s scientific integrity policies, a watchdog group says.

Drs. Katherine Fleming-Dutra and Sara Oliver both overstated the number of children who had died of COVID-19, and refused to correct the misinformation after they were told the correct figures, the complaint says, citing reporting from The Epoch Times.
