“the number of <=17 children being vaxxed?”
Go to the link I posted for this thread. Subtract population ≥ 18 from population ≥ 12.
It is about 9.4 million with at least a first shot.
Over 1/3 of a billion doses of COVID vaccine have been administered in the USA alone.
Like many other Countries, we are now experiencing the rapid spread of the Delta variant. Case numbers will predictably rise (already are), and weeks later a percentage of those new cases will die from the disease. Likely hundreds per day.
Overwhelmingly (like 99%) these deaths will likely be unvaccinated people, whose lives could have been saved by the vaccines - as we are already experiencing in the USA.
Keep that in mind, over the next two months, as we watch it unfold.
Vaccinated vs unvaccinated covid deaths could easily go the other way.
