Death isn’t the only negative outcome.
Omicron has a higher propensity to infect the upper respiratory tract, which is less developed in young children.
You need to forget what you’ve heard about older variants and children. Look at the stats. More kids are being hospitalized in this wave and more deaths are occurring per capita in 0-14 year olds.
It’s not good.
- djrogers 5y ago> more deaths are occurring per capita in 0-14 year olds. Citation please? Current CDC data don’t show enough deaths in that age range to be statistically significant, let alone provide that conclusion.
- nkrisc 5y agoHaving personally known a 2 year old who was severely ill from COVID-19, I'll do what I can to prevent that happening to my child. Statistics mean nothing once something bad has happened to you. It's not like having been struck by lightning is less bad because the odds of happening to you were low. I will do what I can to stack the odds in our favor.
- blindmute 5y agoWhat you're doing is hearing that your friend got struck by lightning, and then deciding to never walk outside while it's raining. If you knew someone who got severe myocarditis from the vaccine, would you then become anti vax? Or does your fear only go in media approved directions?
