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 New study documents covid-triggered brain inflammation resulting in the death of a previously healthy 9 year-old girl. From the doubled chance of type 1 diabetes, to brain damage and death, will the mass media ever report on the harm to children from repeat covid infections?
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
Sunday quickstats:
In the twelve months from Sep 2020 to Sep 2021 an average of 1.4 children a day died of COVID
1,276 children have died of COVID in the last twelve months -- 3.5 a day
Last month an average of 3.2 children (0-17yo) a day died of COVID in the United States
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 It is not just adults that die from COVID-19. A recent study in Japan looked at 41 children under the age of 20 who were infected and died between January and August of this year, 73% within a week after symptom onset ( https://mainichi.jp/english/articles/20220916/p2a/00m/0na/033000c ).

Thread Starting thread on children who have lost parents and/or caregivers to Covid:
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

Thread on kids Covid deaths Five weeks later the CDC tracker now reports 1,656 pediatric covid deaths https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#demographics
Thread 1/ Child Covid: big multi-hospital study shows nearly 1 in 100 kids admitted had a stroke, 1 in 90 has a heart attack and 1 in 12 has a seizure: disturbing neurological manifestations found in children—nearly 1 in 2 went to ICU—1 in 100 died & this is PRE-OMICRON.
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 1,346 children have died from COVID. 434 of these kids were too young to get vaccinated. 10,000s critically ill but survived. 6,000 suffered life threatening multisystem inflammatory syndrome. Several suffer from Long Covid. #GetVaccinated #MaskUp https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#demographics
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.
