You are laughing why? What did I misrepresent?
“Children are not at serious risk from CV19.”
That is your direct quote.
I’ve never said mortality was common in children with CV19 but you quote is demonstrably false. In fact, as has been posted before but never gets comment, complications and morbidity of CV19 are significantly more common no matter what age group you look at than complications from CV immunization. That fact doesn’t fit the narrative thought does it?
l’ve taken care of children who’ve been very sick, some requiring ECMO, and some that have died. Laugh away Doc.
Every virus, bacteria, fungus, food, activity, environmental factor, and mental strain has
some inherent risk.
Statistically speaking, riding in an automobile or being around water are more dangerous to a child than CV19 infection. Assuming that 40% of CV diagnoses are actually secondary (not the cause of admission or death, a figure widely reported and accepted in the medical community), the yearly risk for a child dying from CV19 is around 0.3 per 100,000. Keep in mind that almost all of those deaths have been in kids with significant underlying conditions.
I implore you to do a little research and let us know what the risk per 100,000 is for suicide and drug overdose (both of which have been significantly increased due to pandemic response). Now do firearms, drowning, car accidents, and (gasp) lightning strikes.
Any child dying is a tragedy. Death is the only thing certain for us. However, singularly throwing out that a very small number of children have perished or suffered from long- term complications IN NO WAY justifies the greater harm we have caused by our unscientific and unprecedented restrictions.
Two final notes:
I've lost one kid to a virus in 10 years. RSV.
The most fragile patient in our entire practice survived CV19 with no complications.
