    What in the hell are you talking about? Which is perfect and which is as leaky as it gets?

    74% of some number of avoidable child deaths = avoidable child deaths. And the good reason that X times.74 kids needs to die is because.....why?

    I backed them up. 35% of all pediatric deaths with covid have nothing to do with covid. CDC admits this. Sorry to burst your bubble.

    There hasn't been more than a handful of children to die from covid with having underlying conditions. Yes, any child dying is a tragedy, but they aren't dying from covid, but "with covid". You and others won't ever admit that. It's what it is at this point. More children die from the flu on a typical year for the last 20 years. Those are indisputable facts. Sorry it ruins your "vax all kids" theory.

    Do you have the data of children dying “from the flu” vs dying “with the flu”?

    Glad to hear you are starting to spend more time with family.

    There is no reason to get into making claims that cannot be proven. I think the new drugs were beneficial for those that needed them. I wish we had put just as much emphasis on the monoclonal and therapeutic side once one picked up the disease. The monoclonal and it looks like the new Pfizer pill appear to show really good results. But we can’t change the course that was taken.

    Live life. Thankfully we are over the hysterical fear about asymptomatic spread.

    If you want to test every single day…go for it. I assume you tested every day of Thanksgiving with your family? :):D

    I will let you figure this one out. One has hardly any cases. The other is surging in many areas (and through the vaccinated and unvaccinated).

    If you are over the fear of asymptomatic spread, you are living in ignorance. About half of all COVID cases come from people asymptomatic or presymptomatic. The vaccine won't stop the spread, but it will slow it down significantly by cutting the number of people who catch the virus. And by cutting the number of days a person is contagious.

    We tested the Sunday before we left, and again, the Sunday we returned. All negative.

    Nice strawman. Care to comment on the content of my post?

    If you don't look up the data, you can convince yourself of just about anything.

    Ah, the strawman excuse. Usually used when one doesn't have an answer. Good try. CDC admitted the pediatric deaths from covid were overcounted by 35%. Sorry the facts don't fit your BS position.

    What is the relevance of CDC data overcounting pediatric deaths to the article I posted?

    So you admit some kids are dying from covid. Why should any kids die from it when the vaccine will prevent that?

    Most publications use the cdc data. I'm sure you really care about the data being "right"...

    Dude, Is it that hard to understand? Kids with underlying conditions should get the vaccine. Otherwise? Absolutely not. Simple as that. Not sure why this is so hard for some to understand.
