According to the Covid-deniers... unless the kids are dead then they don't really matter. And even if they were dead we are not going to change "our ways"... you know because of "freedum". Nearly 1 million pediatric Covid cases reported last week While "eye-popping," the spike in pediatric cases is a reflection of the widespread transmission of Covid-19's omicron variant. https://www.nbcnews.com/health/heal...tric-covid-cases-reported-last-week-rcna12631
How many pediatric cases of the common cold does the United States see in a given week during cold and flu season every year? Because "eye popping" is just nonsense without comparable data. If a kid gets a cold and they go to the doctor's office, and it gets reported, then they go home and recover - then its like it has been ever since there were doctor's offices. Suddenly, according to you, we should all be very afraid because kids get sick. Stunning "news". Common Cold in Children What is the common cold in children? The common cold (upper respiratory infection) is one of the most common illnesses in children. Each year it leads to more healthcare provider visits and missed days from school and work than any other illness. Millions of people in the U.S. will get a cold each year. Here are a few facts: Most children will have at least 6 to 8 colds a year. Children who attend daycare will have more. Colds may occur less often after age 6. Children are more likely to have colds during fall and winter. Most kids get 6 to 8 colds a year? Multiplied by the number of kids in the country that's a LOT of colds. Imagine if we focused the same on colds how scary it would be.
So tell us how many children die of a common cold every year compared to Covid. Keeping in mind that Covid has killed more children over the past two years across the globe than all the other common childhood diseases combined.
I note that you say "all the other common childhood diseases combined" after you got owned when you didn't provide yourself an "out" and I called you on Leukemia. You would have to clarify what you mean by "common childhood diseases" before I can accept that comment as anything other than the usual grade of GWB bullshit. You continue to tell me COVID deaths are so much more than the common cold. Show me the data (I must have asked you to show this at least a dozen times now).
Just how many times do you think I am going to re-post the same article regarding Covid compared to other common childhood diseases for you so you can come back and demand the same thing three days later. Go use the search function. Your act is getting old.
This is the guy who fled to Austria so he could put his kid in school while at the same time telling Americans they should do remote learning, right? Same guy? It would seem that the same issue you have with the VAERS project (that anyone can report whatever they want and it is accepted as a possible reaction to the vaccine) is present with "Long COVID". Anyone can essentially say their child is feeling tired or has a persistent cough, etc and its Long COVID. Of course, narrative driven folks like yourself won't actually see the similarity but will go with the one that supports their...well, you know. Narrative.
