What's this?

I know I have repeated this often enough here -- but worth noting that

most of the child vaccines administered now are for diseases that killed a few hundred kids per year in this country pre-vaccine -- not thousands or tens of thousands. I think the COVID deaths for those under 18 is 700-800 over the past 20 months, so 350-400 per year? I know this is a higher number than chicken pox deaths pre-vaccine and pretty sure same for mumps and whooping cough --- not as sure with measles. And as far as kids not killed but hit with some things that could take a long term toll, there is a good study that just came out I believe showing an unusually larger number of Type 1 diabetes now developing from those who have had COVID -- something that is also logical based on what systems we know can be attacked by COVID. There is a ton we still don't know about COVID, but long term implications for at least some percentage -- regardless of how small -- is factually un-debatable.

I am not calling anyone anti-vaxx unless they essentially want that title (such as ryno it seems) -- so I appreciate your response. Just things to think about with kids. I do have kids under 18 and I was extremely grateful (as were they) when things were available. It didn't mean I wasn't also nervous and thoughtful about everything -- but I was 1000x less nervous compared to how I would have felt had they contracted COVID and been one of the ones who struggled to overcome.
