[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate when folks say kids don't die of covid. They do. Yeah, not many but it doesn't take very many kids dying for folks to take action.

Nearly 700 kids have died of covid during the pandemic. It has consistently been listed under the top 10 cause of death for kids. Kids aren't supposed to die so when a small number of kids die from something it is significant. 400-500 kids died of measles a year before we had a vaccine. A handful of kids died from the FP Rock n. Play before it was recalled. 608 kids 12 and under died from car accidents in 2019, kids over all the average is around 1500. 1800 kids die of cancer a year. Under 1K kids die from drowning.

Those are all relatively small numbers when we consider the number of children in the US but they are all significant because kids are not supposed to die.But no one says car accidents don't kill kids or cancer doesn't kill kids. No one says that a parent shouldn't be worried that their kid will get cancer, or they shouldn't wear a seat belt or they shouldn't teach their kid to swim. When again, the kids of all of this is very low.

Yes, your kid has a small risk of having serious complications from covid and a smaller risk of death. But we take so many precautions for so many other things that our children also have a very small risk of death or injury from. I am not sure why folks are so angry about the risks from covid.

(Again yes, I am saying the risk is low. I am just saying it shouldn't be insane that people want to take precautions)

Statistics show dying in a car crash more kid than dying of flurona. So chill with the forced muzzling of children with an oppressive and gagging tool. [/quote]

Now we are anti-seatbelt?[/quote]

That statistic is with seatbelts, airbags, car seats, etc. I'm sorry you've sacrificed so much for so little risk over the past 2 years, but it's time for you forced child maskers to take the L.  You lost, kids won. [/quote]
