Infection Fatality Rate of COVID-19 Was 0.0003 Percent At 0–19 Years: Study
The Epoch Times ^ | January 2, 2023 | Naveen Athrappully

Posted on 01/04/2023 1:19:46 PM PST by george76

A study that looked into the age-stratified infection fatality rate (IFR) of COVID-19 among the non-elderly population has found that the rate was extremely low among young people.

“The median IFR was 0.0003 percent at 0–19 years, 0.002 percent at 20–29 years, 0.011 percent at 30–39 years, 0.035 percent at 40–49 years, 0.123 percent at 50–59 years, and 0.506 percent at 60–69 years,” the study conducted across 29 countries stated. “At a global level, pre-vaccination IFR may have been as low as 0.03 percent and 0.07 percent for 0–59 and 0–69-year-old people, respectively.”

The study aimed to accurately estimate the IFR of COVID-19 among non-elderly populations in the absence of vaccination or prior infection.

For every additional 10 years in age, the IFR was observed to increase by roughly four times. After including data from nine more nations, the median IFR for 0–59 years came in at 0.025 to 0.032 percent and for 0–69 years was at 0.063 to 0.082 percent.

According to the study, the analysis suggests a “much lower” pre-vaccination IFR in the non-elderly population than had been suggested previously. The large differences found between nations were pegged to differences in factors like comorbidities.

Vaccination Dangers Among Youth...

A recent study that analyzed children between the ages of 5 and 17 who had received Pfizer COVID-19 shots found an elevated risk of heart inflammation among children as young as 12 years old.

Myocarditis and pericarditis met the threshold for a safety signal for children aged between 12 and 17 following the second and third doses. These heart conditions can cause long-term issues and even death.

“The signal detected for myocarditis/pericarditis is consistent with published peer-reviewed publications demonstrating an elevated risk of myocarditis/pericarditis following mRNA vaccines, especially among younger males aged 12-29 years,” the researchers said.

In an interview with Fox News back in January, MIT researcher Stephanie Seneff had said that it was “outrageous” to give COVID-19 vaccines to young people as they have a “very, very low risk” of dying from the infection.

When looking at the potential harms of these vaccines for children, they don’t make “any sense,” she added. With repeated boosters, such treatment will be “devastating” in the long term.

Parents should do “absolutely everything they can” to avoid getting their children vaccinated against COVID-19, the research scientist advised.

Vaccinating Children...

Some countries have stopped their COVID-19 vaccine programs for children. In October, the Swedish Public Health authority ceased recommending vaccination for 12- to 17-year-olds except under special circumstances. The agency acknowledged that very few healthy children have been affected seriously by the virus.

“Overall, we see that the need for care as a result of COVID-19 has been low among children and young people during the pandemic, and has also decreased since the virus variant omicron began to spread,” Soren Andersson, head of a unit at the Public Health Authority, told broadcaster SVT at the time. “In this phase of the pandemic, we do not see that there is a continued need for vaccination in this group.”

Meanwhile in the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is pushing ahead with vaccinating children, allowing emergency clearance of vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna for children as young as just six months old.

Data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows that it is the vaccinated population that made up most of the COVID-19 deaths in August.

During that month, 6,512 deaths were recorded, of which 58.6 percent were attributed to vaccinated or boosted individuals. Back in January, COVID-19 deaths among the vaccinated and boosted had only made up 41 percent of the total mortalities.

I’m in my 60’s, unvaccinated with health issues and had the same experience.

that is 3/10,000ths of ONE percentage point.
natural death rate is probably higher... each year.

The only license Fauci has is a driver’s license, if he has any at all.

Normally, I would suggest taking the "Nuremberg Code" violations to The Hague,
however, the Danes and their government seem to support the World Economic Forum, and Klaus Schwaub, who support population and economic control,
so there probably will be no impartial justice there.

Who the heck did this study? What did it consist of?

Geesh, Epoch better get thorough or it’s just another non-journalistic rag.

Yes, it’s my understanding that case FR IS REALLY WHAT YOU WANT TO Watch. The IFR SEEMS to really go by how many died per population. I want to know chances of dying if you get it, not chances of dying if part of some population.

However, I still don’t know it was worth all this hoo-ha, including vaxes rushed through test and production.

I have health problems too, though still undiagnosed. (No, it is NOT mental problems, damn doctors!)

Big problem this time, I have infernal itching all over. No skin change, just itch. Hoping it’s just the COVID, but fear it may have triggered something else I know is wrong (also had a lot of digestive pain the last week to go with it).

Cardiologist Peter McCullough: Damar Hamlin’s Cardiac Arrest Likely Due to ‘COVID-19 Vaccine-Induced Subclinical Myocarditis’

https://amgreatness.com/2023/01/04/cardiologist-peter-mccullough-damar-hamlins-cardiac-arrest-likely-due-to-covid-19-vaccine-induced-subclinical-myocarditis/

[excerpt] In his expert opinion, McCullough said the COVID-19 shot likely caused myocarditis or heart damage in Hamlin, and its initial presentation was a cardiac arrest on the field.

“The family, the Bills’ doctors, and the current doctors at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center have a public health obligation to tell us if he’s taken the vaccine,” he told Carlson.

McCullough argued in his Substack post that that was a more than fair question given “the NFL had a COVID-19 vaccine mandate, as did the military, many corporations, universities, and schools.”

“If an EUA vaccine is mandated, then those who have imposed this product on their players, employees, and students have an ethical public health obligation to tell the world what has happened as a result of the mandate and help all those impacted brace for what could happen next,” the doctor wrote.

The NFL, however, is a member of the “Covid-19 Community Corps,” a Health and Human Services (HHS) initiative that was launched in 2021 “to increase public confidence in and uptake of COVID-19 vaccines” and “educate the public” about other regime-approved treatments. Therefore, the league’s official policy is to promote the mRNA products to the general public even as their adverse effects become more and more obvious.

Carlson noted that rather than warning the public about the risks of the shots, health officials seem to trying to normalize heart attacks and blood clots in young people.

How is it determined that a patient has COVID-19?

Antigen test + clinical picture. It’s a very distinctive illness, I had 43 years in before 2020 and never saw anything like it.

Yes, the IFR is the number of people who die “of the disease among all infected individuals (symptomatic and asymptomatic),” according to the CDC, yet its criteria for classifying cases as Covid provide significant leeway. See https://peacebyjesus.net/covid-19_shutdown_effects.html#CDC from last year.

Nosocomial?

I’ve seen several. We spent a lot on air at the beginning. As soon as I saw the Diamond Princess and USS Theodore Roosevelt data we were all about airborne.

Does a positive antigen test get confirmed?

Just curious.

Some of the papers I’ve been reading lately suggest that nosocomial spread is accounting for a larger percentage of new COVID-19 cases.

I have major doubts about what has been counted. You see, many of us in our COVID disease never reported it. We tested at home, never went to doc etc. others of us verified it months later with antibodies. We’re they ever counted? To my memory the only people in my circle who counted were my mom, and me 2 years ago, when we got official antigen tests.

Then there are my nephew and family. My nephew got his COVID where he WORKED, in Maryland. He was also tracked in Delaware, his residence. Was his one disease counted twice in national figures? How about people spanning counties? Are they counted twice for the state?

The whole process has been very haphazard, if you ask me.

It could be that nosocomial spread is increasing.

People are done with precautions. Our investment in upgraded air handling really paid off, but discipline around PPE is not as good as it was.

That having been said, the chances of dying from COVID, however acquired, are way down.

I had digestives issues with COVID both times. I know a rash too, they say, but I never got one. it does a real number on the immune system so any other issues seem to manifest.
I hope you feel better soon 🙏
