COVID Now a 'Major Cause of Death' in Kids But Many Parents Remain Hesitant on Vaccine (not really...here's the proof)
Newsweek ^ | October 27, 2021 | Adam Piore

...On 10/20, the White House, in anticipation of FDA approval, released details of its plans to have kids vaccinated through pediatricians' offices, hospitals and other locations. Previously, the White House had told governors to start preparing to vaccinate children as young as 5 by early November. Administration officials said they had purchased 65 million pediatric doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, enough to vaccinate all 28 million children who would become eligible if the FDA approves the shots for children between the ages of 5 and 11 when it meets to consider the issue. An FDA advisory committee endorsed giving kids in that age bracket the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine on 10/26.

Parents? Not so much. According to a Kaiser Family Foundation poll, four in 10 parents with children between 5 and 11 plan to "wait a while to see how it is working" before vaccinating their kids. Their reservations run the gamut: Some worry the vaccine is not safe. Others believe the government has exaggerated the threat COVID-19 poses to kids. A small percentage are opposed to all vaccines. But many, like Hammond, who says she plans to "wait until the dialogue settles a bit," are simply confused by all the noise.

...

...the risks to kids are higher than had first been thought. How high? To put it into some context, in a typical year the disease that kills the most children in the U.S. is cancer (about 1,800 deaths), followed by heart disease (about 600 deaths). The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that over the last two years, COVID-19 has killed roughly 570 American kids. and hospitalized about 22,000.

"Even though this doesn't represent the same degree of death and hospitalization as you're seeing in adults, it still represents a major cause of death and hospitalization in children," says Yvonne Maldonado...

May I present Exhibit A:

If I take the 570 fatality number as being comparable to this table (which seem plausible, since the quoted heart disease number is comparable to that in the table), then COVID ranks between heart disease and fire & burns.

That hardly qualifies as a "Major Cause of Death." But it is indicative of a major cause of distrust in the media.

Experts: COVID-19 Will Resemble Common Cold by Spring 2022

I'd rather trust the words of the inventor of the A-Z vaccine than some media whore. But that's just me.

[CDC] estimates that over the last two years, COVID-19 has killed roughly 570 American kids

570 divided by two years = 285 annually

Next to last on your table above.  winking face

So now they are going all out. Covid death classification is not just for motorcycle and gunshot wound victims anymore. This is absolutely criminal... Personally I would bring back the death penalty if the vaccines kill one additional kid because of this nonsense.

So the Bidementia administration purchased 65 million pediatric doses before FDA "approval"? Seems legit.

How many kids will die of heart issues from the Notavax? Of cancer caused by the Notavax?

As regards hospitalization, how many stays are 3 days or less? And how does this number compare to stays for sports injuries? Strep throat? Mono?

Ok....now you're making me show my work...

The CDC breaks down age fatality data but it only goes up to 17. From there, it's 18-29. In the table, the data are for 0-19 years of age.

I took the CDC's age data through today, I get 780 fatalies from 0-17. If I divide that by 19 (months of this pandemic) and multiply by 12 (i.e. Annualized) I get 493.

However, that's missing 18-19 year olds. So if I assume 570 is a kosher annual COVID19 fatality total for 0-19 year olds, I can live with that.

Thanks for keeping me honest.

Too many people get stuck on EXACT numbers.

Ballpark allows me to think, and see a bigger picture.

Your table shows us a bigger picture. :)

Thank you. I’ve used this table previously. It is eye-opening. For example, the suicide numbers are more troubling than the COVID19 number.

“570” is an MSM LIE:

The number is 158 as of 10/27.

See here:

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid_weekly/index.htm#sexandage

“[3] Counts of deaths involving influenza (J09-J11) include deaths with pneumonia or COVID-19 also listed as a cause of death.”

The coding has already been shown to be demonstrably inaccurate, particularly for ‘presumptive’...

In June I calculated the death rate as a fraction of those 14 & under who died in vehicular crashes in 2019...a death rate of 0.000154%...statistically ZERO under strict definition of statistical zero...insofar as combatting the argument of any ‘emergency’ whatsoever, particularly given the risks from these shots which must be given “to learn how safe it is.”

COVID-19 Will Resemble Common Cold by Spring 2022?

Early on March-April 2020 Stanford Universityid antibody tests by medical students to 3,500 volunteers around northern California, they found strange virus but worst it could do only mild upper respiratory track infection like common cold.  Similar antibody test done around Los Angeles by volunteer medical students with the same result, strange virus causing as bad as mild upper respiratory track infection like common cold.  It become worldwide lockdown over common cold!  It's been worldwide lockdown over common cold, this video was published back in April 2020.

Oh yeah?  Good luck.
