Well so far at least in my area in scenerios where a vaccine is required it only mentiones 2nd dose. I do think the booster becomes less necessary for Omicron if you already been vaxxed unless you are in a high risk group and more than 90 days has passed since 2nd dose.
If Omicron continues as the current variant and we never go backwards then after these 2 years COVID will become endemic but we had to suffer through 2 years of political parties playing games with people's health to push a program or win an election (both sides).
Delta was no joke with people losing sense of smell or taste and having long term breathing issues. Thankfully and hopefully we moved away from that strain and into a beaten down version. Fortunately the more serious kind died with its hosts.
So no data? Just cartoons?
I went and looked up the data. You can find it on the CDC's website if you want (you won't want to, spoiler). https://data.cdc.gov/NCHS/Provisional-COVID-19-Deaths-by-Sex-and-Age/9bhg-hcku/data
Florida has the 10th BEST number for COVID deaths for children 0-17 yrs during the entire pandemic.
40 states are worse than Florida. Another GWB Lie!™
What type of nonsense are you pushing now. Let's take a look at Florida data from the CDC -- as per your url.
You trying to pass off data from under 1 year olds as representing all children in Florida from ages 0 to 17 is absurd. But typical of the crap you push. We can be sure that the picture you attached came from some bullshiat Covid-denier account on Twitter that constantly pushes misinformation.
Ah, crap - you're right. I had the stupid filter on the pivot table. So is Florida the worst like you claim?
Nope. Third highest, but also third most populous. So as expected. If DeSantis were the devil like you say, wouldn't we be #1 in children deaths?
What is surprising is that 28 states (and territories with PR and DC) had no COVID deaths at all from 0-17 years old.
I thought COVID was a killer?? How can 28 states have no deaths from COVID under 18?

Actually you will note in the far right column if the number is less than 10 it is not reported due to privacy reasons.
So California has a population of about 40 million. Florida has a population of 20 million.
If the number of Covid deaths of children was just based on a linear size scale with no reflection than the reasonable application of public health policy then you would expect the number of deaths in California to be twice that of Florida --- or near 134 rather than just 69. Basically the deaths of children from Covid in California on a per capita basis is half of that of Florida. How do you explain this?
Again, you're not very good at critical thinking.
It could mean California has a very good number. Or Florida has a very bad number. Or both. Or neither. It could be the variations in reporting with covid vs. from covid. It could be reporting issues in general. There are so many possible factors that could influence the numbers, there's simply no way to tell.
Of course, if the number were much lower in Florida, you'd be here claiming they are hiding data. But when the number puts Florida in a questionable light, you accept without question. That's the NPC narrative for ya.
If COVID were so bad to kids, why would 28 states* be listed with fewer than 10 deaths in the whole state?
