So I read some of this (I'm not going to waste time on fear porn that isn't backed by data, and some of your articles aren't backed by reliable data), and I'd like to ask how this compares to pneumonia hospitalizations?
Also, in the first article, the comment:
More than three-quarters — 78 percent — were hospitalized because of complications of Covid-19. About half needed help breathing, and nearly a third were placed in intensive care.
A third of the 915 patients were otherwise healthy, without any underlying health problems that would have put them at greater risk.
is particularly telling. So 300 or so were "otherwise healthy" and had to be hospitalized because of COVID, but how many of these needed help breathing or were placed in ICU? How many were brought in because the moment the child tested positive, the panicking parents rushed to the ER (as is wont to do based on all the fear porn)?
You see, you guys like to cloud the problem with amalgamated data that pushes a narrative, but so many times digging into the data shows that it isn't anywhere near the problem it is being made out to be.
If children every year are subject to the ICU because of problems breathing from flu or garden variety pneumonia or colds, then how much more so with Omicron? doesn't say. Won't say.
How many of the 300 or so healthy children (in the first example) had severe symptoms? Doesn't say. Won't say.
How many of the 915 recovered fully? Doesn't say, won't say.
This is why I can't trust your narrative. Show specifics and I'm happy to change my mind.
