Right, but those deaths were in an environment when there were interventions to protect people. Take away those interventions and you have more deaths.

- muttantt 5y agoMany children already get vaccinated for the Flu, so there were interventions to protect people then too.
- angelzen 5y agoIt is a bit reckless to push beta version treatments to children, especially when the expected benefits are minor. Kids already handle Covid exceedingly well naturally. Remember that mRNA vaccines have never been deployed at scale before and we have no clue what the long term effects might be. 20 years from now this will be a different conversation.
- MatteoFrigo 5y agoThat's (probably) correct for the population as a whole, but the case is much less clear as far as kids are concerned. For example, look at the 0-14 graph of excess deaths at https://euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps https://euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps. It would be very hard to say that 2020 and 2021 are any different from any other year as far as kids are concerned. During that time we had all sorts of lockdown on, lockdown off, masks on, masks off, vaccines, school open, school close, but the graph stays within its normal pre-covid variance irrespective of all these interventions.
