The trickiest issue is that nobody will report the number of healthy children that have died with a diagnosis of CV. Upon my last discussion with the most well-informed physician administrator I know, he was not aware of a single death in an otherwise healthy child in any of the hospital systems he communicates with. Additionally, there exists no evidence that CV shots would have prevented the deaths in the medically-complex children.
Let's try this: does anyone on the board actually know a child that had died in the past 2.5 years from CV? That's a pretty large sample. I can list several losses I am aware of from other causes: suicide, car accident, RSV, OD.
While the risk of COVID causing severe illness and hospitalization is much lower compared to adults, it's important to remember that at least 1,546 children ages 0 to 18 years have died from COVID. In addition, long-term adverse health effects even after mild infection in children are now being recognized.
