So, good job teaching your kids to ignore science.[/quote]

Sadly, you are wrong about that.
The latest CDC report says that during the omicron wave, 63% of hospitalized infants and children had no underlying medical conditions.

If you read the study, it is a story about babies (under 1), who are at a higher risk of hospitalization for all diseases including Omicron. Ages 3 and 4  -- those relevant for the preK discussion here -- are literally the safest, least at-risk population in the country. The study also does not do a good job distinguishing between hospitalizations WITH Covid and hospitalizations BECAUSE OF Covid. A ton of kids got Omicron, so with the same number going into the hospital for flu or RSV or various other things, many of them will also have had Covid and thus have been coded accordingly. The people having heart palpitations because their PreK kid can't get vaccinated yet need to calm the f down. Your 3-year-old is better off than you with your three vaccines doses. [/quote]
