Vaccines in children
According to Statista as of March 16 2022; the latest date I could find for child deaths in the U.S. from COVID 19, is 921. Using Statista’s data on total numbers of cases and deaths and these numbers.
The total deaths in the US as of March 28 2022 is 1,003,467 when we calculate that number it comes to 0.091781792525315% of all the deaths meaning that children are not really affected by COVID while the 921 number is sad, it doesn’t seem worth it to subject every single child to an experimental drug, especially when you look at the case of Maddie De Garay in which a 12 year-old whose parents volunteered her in Pfizer’s trials, took the second dose which, shortly after affected her so badly, she is now permanently in a wheelchair. All the while Pfizer; instead of stopping their trials, just called it a severe stomach ache so they could continue without having to report to the FDA that 1 in 1,300 children could have severe reactions.
When you use the same 921 deaths for children and you look at the total number of cases, 81.6m as of March 28 2022 the death rate for children becomes a miniscule 0.0011286764705882% a pretty miniscule number.
One thing to consider to this point we still don’t have a distinction of children that have died with COVID vs of COVID. You might think this to be trivial but it matters in terms of statistics and data.
The other thing to consider is how long it took for the Polio vaccine to be widespread(read beyond the quiz part for the timeline on Polio). In essence, from start to finish was 1935-1963.
We also know, with the Omicron variant, everyone is going to get it, vaccinated or not. We do know at best, the vaccine can help keep you from hospitalization. When you look at the data, it seems like we really should be worrying about the older population.
As an adult, it is also worth considering, total cases and total deaths in the U.S. as of March 28 2022, were 1,003,467 deaths and 81.6m cases the percentage is 1.2297389705882%% all things considered, that is pretty low and you run a higher risk of death in a car accident which is 1.2987012987013%.
Efficacy of cloth masks
According to Dr. Marty Makary at Johns Hopkins University
- Size of aerosolized COVID 1 - 5 microns
- Size of the pores in cloth masks 20 - 100 microns
- It is unfair to require an ineffective mask in a population (children) that is lowest risk.
