John Hopkins - NO Proof any child has died of Covid.

Everybody with a brain knows this

School restrictions on kids under 12 or so is insane

And above 12 aint much different unless your kid has a BMI of 40

Arkansas reports first pediatric death


WRONG. Also, parishioners at our church in Little Rock all got it within their family. The pregnant Mother has been hospitalized and just lost the baby due to complications from Covid.

But I guess none of that matters. Micro chippers.

Trusting the wrong science again. The branch Covidians will be here soon to tell you which science to trust.

tigerbandpiccolo and lsunurse will not like this

I don't really have a dog in this fight, but y'alls obsession with this is wild.

I think we can all agree that for an individual covid is about the same as the flu. But surely we can all agree it's way more contagious than the flu.

And if you had an outbreak of flu at a school, where it was spreading like wildfire and getting staff and kids sick, making parents miss work, etc. you'd probably want to you know... stop the spread of it.

But not with covid just because? Y'all are retarded about this.

If you champion the vaccine then you need to be fair on this point: children aren't greatly affected by COVID. We shouldn't be basing policy on them or forcing restrictions because they can't be vaccinated. They, more often than not, don't need to be.

That said, the "if you ignore the kids who had stuff other than covid, then no kids really died of covid" argument seems dishonest to me (especially when you expand it to the population at large, which I'll explain in a second). Some kids have pre-existing conditions, and they should be the exception, not the norm, for kids requiring a shot. But that's no reason to enact restrictions or make policy for kids as a whole.

No one (intelligent) is arguing that lots of totally healthy people are dropping dead only from COVID. The larger focus should be that lots of people do have comorbidities, and that's why a vaccine is a short term fix, with healthy lifestyle changes being necessary in the long term.

It's actually an Opinion piece and not a report by "Johns Hopkins."

Nevertheless, there is a serious issue here with the apparent (obvious) ability of the child and adolescent population to fight off Covid more effectively than the adult and senior population. By now we should have enough data to adjust the public health response.

Also, if one of the primary reasons for masking at school and on-line learning is to protect the teachers and other adults in the system, then perhaps the more effective approach is to ensure that the adults are either vaccinated or sign waivers accepting the risk of working unvaccinated. Put the responsibility on the people most likely to require more extreme protection methods.

It's kids. There are more of them produced every day, so they're a replenishable resource. Use 'em for research, kinda like rabbits and mice.
