@Tsing Tao doesn't believe COVID hurts children. According to him there are not enough kids dying to take Covid seriously.
Child Covid deaths more than doubled in Florida as kids returned to the classroom

TALLAHASSEE — Florida reached another grim Covid milestone amid the Delta surge: Since August, the number of Covid-related child deaths in the state has more than doubled.
The childhood fatalities have left pediatric experts deeply concerned about how the virus will affect youngsters in the months ahead as children interact in classrooms, even as the overall number of infections and hospitalizations in the state appears to be cresting.
The deaths also pose a political threat to Gov. Ron DeSantis ahead of his 2022 reelection bid. The GOP governor has built a national reputation for resisting coronavirus restrictions and has spent weeks fighting against school districts that want to require students to wear masks in schools.
A POLITICO analysis of weekly Covid-19 reports from the Florida Department of Health shows that 10 children under the age of 16 died from Covid-19 from July 30 to present as the Delta variant — which is much more transmissible — became the dominant strain. Previously, a
total of seven kids died from the virus from the
beginning of the pandemic through July, amounting to a span of more than 15 months.

The number of children who die of Covid is very small compared to other causes of child death. Pneumonia, influenza, and bacterial infections have been significant causes of death since the beginning of history, especially among the immune-compromised.
However, in a world where crisis(es), whether actual or contrived, must not be allowed to go to waste, so as to avoid missing an opportunity to sell a product and or engage in a power grab…
All causes of children’s death must be eliminated. Especially those causes of death that represent greater numbers of children fatalities than Covid. Therefore, I propose the following policies, as appropriate for each type of “Excessive” child death caused:
1. Car accidents - Children must not ride in cars.
2. Poisoning - Household chemicals must be stored offsite and secured. When household chemicals are use, child must have dedicated person to watch them, while a separate, certified household chemical engineer, applies said chemicals.
3. AIDs - The entire causative chain of AIDs transmission to children must be eliminated. Only certified healthcare providers may have custody, use, proper destruction, and disposal of syringes, including insulin shots for diabetics as to prevent dumpster divers from reusing disposed of needles. As a bonus, child deaths from hepatitis will be reduced. AIDs screening protocols to be enhanced.
4. Fatal ingestion of toys shall be prevented through elimination of toys.
5. Child deaths due to bacterial infections may be reduced or eliminated through child’s daily intake of antibiotics. The term “Antibiotic resistant” shall be put on a media forbidden terms list until a new antibiotic product is released.
6. Children’s deaths due to domestic violence can be substantially reduced through constant surveillance of parents, combined with a method to immediately, but temporarily disable any parent engaging in potentially harmful behavior towards the child. A Federally funded, tamper-proof collar capable of tasing a offending parent shall be worn at all times.
While the above list of child death causes that are greater than Covid is far from complete, hopefully it gives readers an idea of the path we are on.
Many more children die each year on any of the above 6 items than Covid. More children die in the US of cancer than will die of Covid. Any thoughts of what it would take to prevent children from dying of cancer? At least the “Preventable” causes of cancer in children?
The media is using fear mongering to entice parents to buy products from excessively influential pharmaceutical companies who put profits over the Hippocratic Oath. Our regulatory institutions and certain politicians care more about campaign contributions and being on the right side of the media than to truly represent us. It is a conspiracy that is probably based more on politician ignorance, possibly willful ignorance, than outright evil.
Fundamentally, children beyond age 1 or so, have better immune systems and will build longer lasting natural immunity than adults, particularly the elderly.
Natural immunity is undoubtably far superior than vaccines for the simple fact that vaccines are either a damaged copy of the target virus or the vaccine causes the body’s immune system to change in such a way as to confer temporary protection of some degree. One’s own immune system response and subsequent natural immunity to a virus will often reflect the more active mutations of a virus, rather than a vaccine created, say 18 months after the original strain. No wonder vaccines for cold and flu like viruses decline in effectiveness so quickly: The cold and influenza type vaccines are nearing obsolescence the day they are first released.
Using fear mongering involving children in order to induce parents into making medical decisions against the long term health interests of their children is malpractice, as best, for “News” disseminators, Healthcare providers, including pharmaceutical companies, our regulatory bodies, and our politicians.
In the end, we must never make a major decision, especially involving health, without doing thorough due diligence. Most know the media, politicians, and businesses that have a inherent conflict of interest with their marketing, cannot be trusted. Anyone remember the Opioid epidemic in US? Before that, over-subscription of antibiotics, casing bacteria resistant strains? How about our continual bombardment of pharmaceutical commercials that treat symptoms that are often related to the effects of other pharmaceuticals. Check the medicine cabinet of an elderly parent and ask them what they know about their subscriptions.
Think for yourself. Your, your children’s, and your parent’s health may depend on it.
