#12  I can see vaccinating kids with serious health issues, and for them having the FDA approval will help. Beyond that, given the high level of youthful resistance to the disease, I don’t see the point.

#11  I'm willing to bet more teenagers die in Chicago gun violence this year than they do in the entire United States from the Wuhan Virus.

#7  with the low rate of hospitalization and death of younger people combined with the higher rate of adverse vaccine reaction in younger people 16-25, the decision to vax down to 5 is pretty iffy

#6  Push back should be interesting when the government tells parents they must vax their young children.

#4  COMPARING COVID-19 INFECTIONS & DEATHS TO VACCINE NUMBERS

WORLD POPULATION Est.+/- 7.2 Billion
USA POPULATION Est.+/- 333 Million
The USA is about +/- 4.62% of the World population.

September 13, 2021, 10:43 GMT COVID-19 Pandemic Numbers tell us:

As of today despite being having 209,099,300 or 62.2% of the USA population vaccinated, as compared to the 41.8% World Average? The USA continues to see the Highest claimed infection numbers in the World. But a overall lower average infection to death ratio.

OVER THE LAST 7 DAYS:
Worldwide there were 3,711,148 New COVID-19 cases
The USA “claims” 848,908 of those New Cases.
22.87% of all COVID-19 cases in the whole wide world last week.
Wow 4.62% of the worlds population had 22.87% of all reported COVID-19 Infections. Despite a now reported 62.2% Vaccination rate?

Then we are told, Worldwide there were 58,660 New Deaths of which the USA claimed 8,539 of those. Or about 14.55% of all COVID-19 Death worldwide. Another WOW!!! for 4.62% country.

SINCE THE INITIAL SPREAD TO NOW FIGURES
Worldwide
225,455,664 reported infections.
4,643,687 reported deaths
Which works out to about a 3.13% of the worlds population was infected, resulting in a 2.059% Infection to Death Ratio.

USA
41,853,362 reported infections.
677,988 reported deaths.
Which works out to about 12.55% of the USA population was said to have been infected, resulting in a 0.2034 of 1% death rate. Or a 1.61% infection to death ratio.

While it is commonly stated our Senior Citizens account for over whelming percentages of all Covid-19 deaths. The USA, when compared to other nations according to the 2021 World Atlas data, did not make the top 25 for most senior aged populations.


SUMMARY:
So given the Official numbers, it seems US Vaccines aren't doing a great job at prevention as promised. But may play a part in lowering the Infection to Death Rates along with our world acknowledge advanced Medical System.
