I'm on the go and not really going to break out all the numbers. But that headline is a terrible way to assess risk. It is part of the fallacy of most of the things you've been posting about the risk of covid over the last few days.

Covid does not kill most of us. That doesn't matter. It still has resulted in 600k+ dead Americans.
Covid doesn't hurt kids as much as adults. Still doesn't matter.

There's only two pieces of this that matter. How much health care resources do you have and at which point of cases do you overwhelm those resources thus penalizing everybody and removing your ability to care for even non coronavirus patients? For a given person or demographic, how deadly is Coronavirus compared to other infectious risks that we all take for granted as just a background noise of risk of life.

So a stat about only 1% of hospitalized children dying is shitty obfuscation trying to minimize risk of covid.
What is the usual mortality of children at that age and what risk does coronavirus represent for morbidity and mortality?

It might be really low or it might not be. But that's not represented in that stat at all.

Study of 6.2 Million Patients Reveals No Serious Health Effects Linked to mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines
Study of 6.2 million patients by Kaiser Permanente and CDC researchers will continue for 2 years.

Federal and Kaiser Permanente researchers combing the health records of 6.2 million patients found no serious health effects that could be linked to the 2 mRNA COVID-19
did you analyze the research, or you just trust the CDC and the Health Insurance lobby?

Sheepdog @Former Maycee Barber Fan is Scotty a literal retard with his Father's Day trip? How did he think he wouldn't catch heat over that?

Another exhibit in the 'Scott Morrison is a literal retard' case:

Business leaders had to go ask our former centre-left PM (who they hated) to try and do Scotty's job for him to at least try and get more vaccines. ScoMo's own core constituents even know what a muppet he is.

Do they really? JT basically did all the same missteps and he's about to get reelected to a majority.

You're misunderstanding what I meant. ScoMo will still get elected. By 'core constituents' knowing that he is a retard, I mean the very rich. They will still back him though.
