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

I think the argument is this: there were only 400 covid deaths in the entire United states in pediatrics, and those mainly consisted of children with diseases as serious as leukemia

If you make polices for children on those stats, you are indeed a psychopath with no ability to process anything logically

I'm not an anti-vax guy nor a COVID conspiracy theorist.

But RSV kills what, 500 kids a year? And in well over a year COVID has killed fewer than 400, many/virtually all of those kids who had serious underlying conditions. And we are/were in the middle of a major RSV spike that was putting pressure on pediatric hospitals.

But despite this, RSV got the local news "scary new spike in child illness" treatment for two days and then we went back to COVID hysteria.

People have gotten completely myopic about COVID and lost track of how we deal with normal illnesses that are, especially in the vaccination era, comparable in terms of death/severity. "There are 11 kids hospitalized!" is the story, not "well, how many kids are normally hospitalized with a virus going around, is this extremely abnormal?"
