https://data.cdc.gov/NCHS/Provisional-COVID-19-Deaths-Focus-on-Ages-0-18-Yea/nr4s-juj3 https://data.cdc.gov/NCHS/Provisional-COVID-19-Deaths-Focus-... indicates 347 Covid deaths in the 0-4yo category, since Jan 2020. Out of a population of around 16M in the US, ignoring churn in that category.
- jedberg 5y agoThat's nice, but we have no idea what the long term effects of COVID infection is on young children. We do know that in adults the long term effects are lessened when they are vaccinated, and we can assume the same in children. So it's still a valid concern.
- renewiltord 5y agoWe do not know about the long term effects of the MMR vaccine is either. Will kids who received it instantly die at the age of 60? We don’t actually know. Another valid concern. EDIT: To reply from jounker: “said the turkey before Thanksgiving”. I picked 60 intentionally. Past performance is not indicative of future returns. Etc. etc.
- jounker 5y agoI think after 50 years we have a pretty good idea of its safety.
