Thread by @Ashmedaidemon

Why can't you make a thread response?? SO annoying.

Regardless

@MarcusBlimi tries to pull a fast one by citing CDC *raw numbers* for emotional impact

"LOOK! 200 DEAD BABIES!! OH THE HORROR!!!"

If this is the standard for risks to children in life, then, hmmm, let's see:

Bathtubs are definitely out

Like, bathtubs are totally sooooo deadly to kiddies

DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY KIDS DROWN IN BATHTUBS EACH YEAR?? HAVE YOU NO COMPASSION!!??!!

And drowning is THE leading cause of death for kids 1-4 (besides birth defects)
cdc.gov/drowning/facts…

But, I can already hear you saying, bathtubs are such a small risk & not giving your kiddo a bath is shall we say not an option at all, far too radical & not worth it??

BINGO!!!

And giving your child an untested vaccine whose trial data shows unmistakable NEGATIVE efficacy is??

How about @MarcusBlimi you post the ARR of vax/nat immunity & not misleading raw #'s??

And let's talk about those raw #'s

Cuz they're CDC DISINFORMATION

Yup, CDC is lying to you

& they even admitted it

By February 2022, per CDC’s own study *at least* 77% of kids 1-4 already had covid

Pediatric Infection-Induced SARS-CoV-2 Seroprevalence Estimation Using Commercial Laboratory Specimens: How Representative Is It of the General U.S. Pediatric Population?
papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

Even per CDC’s own provisional stats, only 442 kids 0-4 died with covid out of a total population of more than 19.7 million through 5/28/22

That's *WITH*, not *OF*

Important little nuance there
data.cdc.gov/d/nr4s-juj3

We know that the CDC’s #’s dramatically overexaggerate the true covid morbidity/mortality especially in pediatric pop.

Dramatically overexaggerated. very dramatically so.

Almost as dramatically as @MarcusBlimi feigns expertise to bully and harass deplorable anti covid vaxxers

Kushner et al found that 45% of pediatric hospitalizations were “unlikely to be caused by covid”; and that 67.5% were either asymptomatic (39.3%) or mild to moderate disease (28.2%)
ie were not sick enough to warrant hosp cuz of disease
publications.aap.org/hospitalpediat…

Webb et al found that only 14% of hospitalized patients under 22yo were “significantly symptomatic”, while 40% were “incidental infections” and 47% were “potentially symptomatic”

That's ONLY **14%**!!!!!
publications.aap.org/hospitalpediat…

They even concluded “Most hospitalized patients who test positive for SARS-CoV-2 are asymptomatic or have a reason for hospitalization other than coronavirus disease 2019”

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Wu et al found that >51% of children infected with covid were co-infected with another respiratory pathogen

In other words, even kids sick with respiratory virus, many were probably *not* covid but something like RSV (far bigger threat to children)
publications.aap.org/pediatrics/art…

Smith et al found that based on the clinical records, “36 (59%) of the 61 CYP were categorised as SARS-CoV-2 did not contribute to death”

Go England!!
researchsquare.com/article/rs-689…

Sorg et al found that there were literally ZERO deaths in kids 5-11 – “In this group, the ICU admission rate was 0.2 per 10,000 and ***case fatality could not be calculated, due to an absence of cases.***"

Now that is what we call a statistic💣💣

medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

And for the coup de grace

The CDC itself at the start of the pandemic admitted “For children (0-17 years), COVID-19 hospitalization rates are much lower than influenza hospitalization rates during recent influenza seasons.”

@MarcusBlimi LOOK! A CDC LINK!
cdc.gov/coronavirus/20…

What about long covid you ask?

“Seropositive children, all with a history of pauci-symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection, did not report long COVID more frequently than seronegative children”
medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

For the record, this really shouldn't even be relevant bec there is literally ZERO data on vaccines preventing long covid in anyone really (don't cite that garbage JAMA study please)

And what was the vaccine efficacy in older kids in the real world?

Let's take a look.

We'll even stick to CDC data (& not the far more robust UKHSA data which show 2-4x negative efficacy)

it's not like it'll make that much difference

Dorabawila et al found vaccine efficacy against infection for Pfizer in kids 5-11 plummeted to 12% by 28-34 days after the 2nd dose, and to 48% for hospitalization.

This was a CDC special junkfest

Yet still could not avoid negative efficacy by the end
medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Moderna’s trial found, according to their own press release, “vaccine efficacy in children 6 months to 2 years was 43.7% and vaccine efficacy was 37.5% in the 2 to under 6 years age group.”

BELOW the 50% threshold for EUA per the FDA’s own standards
investors.modernatx.com/news/news-deta…

If you can't even trust Moderna's own press release, who can you trust exactly???

I know - Pfizer!!

Oh wait, not Pfizer either:

Pfizer’s initial trial failed to show any benefit (Pfizer and BioNTech Provide Update on Ongoing Studies of COVID-19 Vaccine
pfizer.com/news/press-rel…

Man, tough world😭😭😭😭😭😭

So.

@MarcusBlimi

Care to present the SCIENTIFIC DATA

Oh yeah, PEER REVIEWED SCIENTIFIC DATA (is that redundant? not sure)

That shows vaccine efficacy for kids exists altogether or is even needed in the first place??
