Zero Healthy Children Between 5 and 18 Died from COVID, German Study Finds
2021-12-08
[SlayNews] Not a single healthy child aged between the ages of 5 and 18 has died from COVID-19 in the first 15 months of the pandemic, a study by German scientists has found.

"Overall, the SARS-CoV-2-associated burden of a severe disease course or death in children and adolescents is low," the scientists stated in a new report.

"This seems particularly the case for 5-11-year-old children without comorbidities."

While the virus has yet to claim the lives of any healthy children between the ages of 5 and 18, only six children and adolescents have died in that age range due to severe preexisting conditions.

#7  Of course, we won't die. We stay glued to our screen, text on discord, record some cringy tiktoks and send memes.

Moral of the story: Don't go to school.

#6  VAERS is a voluntary system. Estimates of under-reporting are estimated to be around 90%.

#5  In my area the numbers are rigged. Proven so many times. Garbage in garbage out. I have key direct contacts. It's all about the money.

15 Jul 2021 Nature: Deaths from COVID ‘incredibly rare’ among children
In a series of preprints published on medRxiv1–3, a team of researchers picked through all hospital admissions and deaths reported for people younger than 18 in England. The studies found that COVID-19 caused 25 deaths in that age group between March 2020 and February 2021.

About half of those deaths were in individuals with an underlying complex disability with high health-care needs, such as tube feeding or assistance with breathing.

#1  Just finding the death stats on the <= 18 age demographic is difficult.
