“Correcting revisionist history: ‘COVID is not a problem for young people in the US’

Covid responsible (not ‘with’, underlying cause) for 2% of all deaths <20. That's 1 out of every 50 deaths of all kids who die. #1 in infectious diseases, 5th in disease overall…”

COVID-19 deaths created 300,000 American orphans, 330,000 if we count "primary caregivers" and 380,000 if we count "secondary caregivers". That's a lot of childhood harm.

2x as common for Black kids 4x as common for Indigenous kids 1.6X as common for Hispanic kids”

Thread Remember 2020, when we protected kids from infections, and then were told schools were safe, and also that kids would not die? Well, the data disagrees. Reference years are 2016-2018, to enable 2019 as a pre-pandemic comparator.

Thread The best-kept secret of the pandemic is that in 2020 those under the age of five (5), children, actually had >NEGATIVE< excess deaths

In other words, fewer children under the age of five died in 2020 than normally die in any given year

This became the foundation of a deadly lie

October 2022 One thing that IS totally clear about US kid COVID deaths, is they are getting worse every year.

2020 - 219 kids died 2021 - 798 died 2022 (Jan-Aug) - 705 died, on track for > 1100+ child COVID deaths

It isn't getting better. It isn't "mild". We're endangering our children.

Thread Pediatric deaths from COVID are exploding, again

In the 0-17 age a staggering nine (9) children a day are now dying of COVID

If sustained: 3,000+ a year

Three (3) a day in the 0-4 age range. 1,000 a year if sustained

“I killed my mommy.” Said by a 9 yo girl during her 1st assessment. Mom died of COVID two wks after daughter tested (+). Intense guilt plus the invisibility of COVID deaths make children’s grief even more excruciating. This is an untold aspect of nearly 1 million pandemic deaths.

Thread Todays IDK who needs to hear this:

Children under age 5 (ie those both ineligible for vaccinations, and most unable to wear a well fitted mask) have a higher death rate than older kids from the virus. They account for 15% of pediatric Covid cases but 35% of pediatric deaths.

Thread I'm sorry to point out that @GaDPH has a newly reported pediatric death from COVID-19 in today's report. He was a 9 year old boy from Richmond county. His is the 17th pediatric death since the start of the pandemic. I'm so very sorry for his family, his community, his care team.

#COVID19 Pediatric (<16) Case Fatality Rate (CFR) has quintupled over the last five weeks. While this CFR is still very low, 0.014%, it does make it extremely important that kids avoid getting infected and hospitalized as much as possible. @GovRonDeSantis must stop killing kids.
