[quote=Anonymous]It's interesting to see how this thread’s discussions from last winter resolved. In December 2023, the CDC sent out an urgent health advisory to all medical providers, citing heightened covid risks and highlighting a rise in MIS-C cases in particular:  “In addition, a recent increase in cases of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) following SARS-CoV-2 infection in the United States has been reported” https://emergency.cdc.gov/han/2023/han00503.asp
  
Last week, the CDC released an overview of MIS-C cases for 2023. For all of 2023, there are 117 MIS-C cases and 3 deaths. While tragic for the families involved, almost any other childhood illness records a greater number of annual fatalities than that. There are 72 million Americans under the age of 18 and 3 MIS-C fatalities in 2023, or 0.0000042% of all children. And yet, the CDC sent out an urgent health advisory in December to all medical providers, citing MIS-C as one reason. It is hard to understand their logic. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/73/wr/mm7310a2.htm?s_cid=mm7310a2_w[/quote]
