"If they’re the only ones at risk of death from COVID"

They aren't. They're at the highest risk. Children and even infants have died from COVID-19. It's rare, but it has happened. Again, sticking with observable reality here.

Rhetorical setup by me.

Trap SPRUNG.

What is the death rate by age cohort from COVID?

You pro-jabbers have been quoting the "1.78%" or whatever (even though that is inflated) as though it applied equally to each and every person exposed.

But it doesn't.

There are two steps.

FIRST you have to get infected.

THEN you have to die.

But the young don't get infected as often.

And when they do get infected, they die a LOT less than fat old people with diabetes.

You need to compare, age segment-by age-segment, BMI-quintile by BMI-quintile, the risks of death from catching covid, and the risks from the jabs.

Except that the jabs SPECIFICALLY HAVVE NOT BEEN STUDIED for the youth, or pregnant women.

Well, that leaves the other comparison.

The likelihood of catching the coof.

Even after all the hype and fuss, maybe 10% of the entire US population has had the coof.

Again, concentrated in the old, thanks Gov Cuomo...

But if you take the jab you are guaranteed to be exposed to the mRNA.

So real science would be:

1.0 (chance of getting the jab) * risk of sequelae for your age
VS.
< 10% chance of getting the coof (adjusted by age) * risk of sequelae (adjusted for your age / health conditions)

For the overwhelming majority of normal people, the jab is a greater risk than the coof.

And that's just going by the published stats from VAERS, which according to a Harvard Study, only catches about 1% of the adverse events; AND which hasn't been going very long (so it won't catch delayed effects, cause the jabs are too new for that) ; AND the powers that be have been slow-walking entering adverse events into it.

But your prescription is "EVERYONE GET THE JAB UNLIKE THE HICK BIBLE THUMPERS!"

No, you fascist. (Fascism is "govt.-private partnership" to take over people's lives.)

” Rhetorical setup by me. Trap SPRUNG.”

You think you’re so clever. It’s adorable.

“What is the death rate by age cohort from COVID?”

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/planning-scenarios.html

“But the young don’t get infected as often.”

You have no evidence of this. The available evidence is that younger people (particularly children) are more often asymptomatic, which means they would never even know they had it based on outward symptoms. There’s no evidence that I’ve seen that says they don’t become infected as often.

“You need to compare, age segment-by age-segment, BMI-quintile by BMI-quintile, the risks of death from catching covid, and the risks from the jabs.”

Each individual should be doing that for themselves. I’m not making medical decisions for other people; they’re doing so for themselves. That’s called being a responsible adult.

“Except that the jabs SPECIFICALLY HAVVE NOT BEEN STUDIED for the youth, or pregnant women.”

They’re being studied right now for the youth. I hear a lot of objections for the fact that clinical trials are proceeding for children, but that’s literally how every medicine intended for all age groups is tested: first on adults, then on younger and younger groups of children. That’s how we know what’s safe to give to young children: it was tested. And clinical trials are almost never performed on pregnant women, and for very good reason. Rather, the data is collected from women who either became pregnant while taking the medication or who chose to take it while pregnant. The data collected so far from thousands of woman says that the COVID-19 vaccines cause ZERO problems for pregnant women or their babies. (https://www.acog.org/clinical/clinical-guidance/practice-advisory/articles/2020/12/vaccinating-pregnant-and-lactating-patients-against-covid-19)

From the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists: “no differences have been seen when comparing pregnant women participating in the v-safe pregnancy registry with the background rates of adverse pregnancy outcomes.”

“that’s just going by the published stats from VAERS”

Except according to the people who operate VAERS: “The report of an adverse event to VAERS is not documentation that a vaccine caused the event.” - Guide to Interpreting VAERS Data (https://vaers.hhs.gov/data/dataguide.html)

So you are misusing VAERS data.

“No, you fascist. (Fascism is “govt.-private partnership” to take over people’s lives.)”

Well I guess that makes you, what? Anti-fascist?

Thank you for calling yourself out as Antifa. Have fun burning a major US city to the ground next time you get together with your buddies.
