Child With No Other Health Issues dies From COVID-19 in Houston, Health Department Says
KHOU11 ^ | August 26, 2021 | Michelle Homer

For the first time, a child who had no other health issues has died from COVID-19 at a Houston hospital, the city health department reported Thursday.

There have been six other pediatric deaths in Houston, but all of those children had underlying health conditions.

“Serious chronic medical problems, the things they’ve unfortunately been going to medical doctors regularly for most of their life. That’s what most of those have been," Chief Medical Officer for the City of Houston Dr. David Persse said.

The Houston Health Department said the boy who died in July was between the ages of 10 and 19 and had not been vaccinated. They say he tested positive for COVID-19, but they don't know yet if it was a variant of the virus, like delta.

They aren't releasing other details because of privacy laws.

“This tragedy serves as a reminder that children, even without underlying health conditions, can get seriously ill and die from COVID-19," Persse said. “Getting vaccinated is not only about protecting you, it’s about protecting everyone close to you, especially your family, from serious illness and death.”

Thanks.

I can’t believe how many experimental mRNA gene-therapy spike protein injection fans there still are on FR.

I don’t believe any news about covid anymore. The lies are staggering and the support of those lies is even worse.

There’s definitely more to this story.

How convenient!

Also, funny that those not wishing to get jabbed have NO privacy regarding it - law or no law.

People die WITH Covid, not necessarily FROM Covid

I keep two things in mind when I read articles like this:

1. I do not accept as "automatically" true anything I read from modern news sources or, sadly, from the medical community. Too much of what the media and the medical profession says, does, recommends, believes and/or promotes has proven to be more and more untrustworthy as the covid hysteria continues. That is, everything from these sources must be examined and validated before it can be considered as factual.

2. Anecdotes are not data.

Yup. Spending some time researching that topic will be quite the education. And remember: these are the ones that didn’t get away.

They want justification to force these things on children. I’ll bet it wasn’t “covid”.

How do they know? If he was 16+, I'm sure he could have found someplace that would vax him.

...And there’s the sales pitch.

What age was this child?

He was “between 10 and 19” which is the next cohort Big Pharma is pushing to take the vaccine. This will be followed later by a weeping human interest story about the 2 year old who died of Covid when Big Pharma pushes vaccines on infants.

“I can’t believe how many experimental mRNA gene-therapy spike protein injection fans there still are on FR.”

_________________________________________________

It doesn’t appear to be a “vaccine” in the traditional sense. How many boosters per year are we expected to get?

I thought, and I am probably wrong, that vaccines were made with live viruses that were killed, or their malicious properties were taken away, and then injected into the human body so that if the actual virus entered the body, say, through the nose or eyes, it would recognize the dead virus and attack the live one.

This appears to be completely different. Like a “pre-vaccine” or something that messes with your RNA. No other vaccine has ever done that.

And I apologize for the many errors I have probably made; I am not a doctor or scientist.

I’m certainly no Fauci! ;) lol

Must be the first nationwide ...

Here are the fatality rates (IFRs) by sex and age ...

Despite these challenges, calculating accurate IFRs is important. To generate the best estimates possible, a team of scientists led by Megan O'Driscoll and Henrik Salje collected data on COVID-19 deaths in 45 countries and nearly two dozen seroprevalence studies (which determine the percentage of a population that has antibodies against the coronavirus and, hence, the percentage likely to have been infected). Using this data, they determined sex- and age-specific IFRs. (See chart.)

According to the following site 361 children 17 yrs and younger have died of covid as of Aug. 18th 2021.

Number of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) deaths in the U.S. as of August 18, 2021, by age*

If the vaccine actually worked then they wouldn’t be worried about un-vaccinated folks spreading the virus to vaccinated folks.

Precisely.

These evil people cannot be any more obvious with their sinister push for these shots.

Now, they’re pushing hard for children to get them.

Just sickening.
