> The findings in this report are subject to at least five limitations. First, children and adolescents meeting COVID-NET criteria with a positive SARS-CoV-2 test result might have been hospitalized primarily for reasons other than COVID-19 (2), resulting in potential overestimations of hospitalization rates.
This is another study where kids who were hospitalized for some unrelated thing and who tested positive for COVID are counted as being hospitalized for COVID. Considering that most kids are not vaccinated (many are too young and most of those who are old enough are not vaccinated), it is not surprising that most of the kids who were hospitalized for any reason and tested positive were not vaccinated. Note: they apparently test all hospital admits for COVID these days.
