[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of my take-aways is that the cases examined are so rare (even with delta) as to prevent statistically meaningful results.  It seems like the same thing with the vaccines -- there are so few kids that get covid that it becomes difficult to statistically compare the treatment and control groups.[/quote]

Yes, I will believe delta is as bad as the headlines are screaming if they get enough pediatric cases in the control group to move kid vaccine approvals back to fall.

Otherwise it can’t be that bad.[/quote]

This is kind of where I landed too. Either it’s bad enough to give EUA to the vaccine…or it’s not. And if it is I’m definitely getting DD the vaccine. Older child already vaccinated, as well as both parents and most extended family except crazy Fox News father.[/quote]

This point is a really good one.  Part of the reason the pediatric clinical trials are taking so long is that they're not getting enough positive cases (in both groups)--although I would bet there are cases in parts of the country where parents are also less likely to enroll their kids in a study.  Oh, the irony.[/quote]
