There are lies, damned lies, and statistics! All of three were used plentiful to create an environment of hysteria and alarmism about SARS-CoV-2/Covid-19.
E.g. the U.S. death toll of around 700,000 is totally inflated. Anybody was counted. No autopsies conducted etc. There is even a significant federal government subsidy available to reduce someone's funeral costs if the deceased died of Covid-19!
The number of hospitalizations is also not a very good indicator! Given all the hysteria and alarmism surrounding this pandemic any parent will admit their child immediately for anything remotely resembling a cold, influenza, Covid-19 etc.
What is rarely mentioned though is:
- Children and young adults have little to fear! Why does the government insist they need to be vaccinated! That at least 80-90% of all infected suffer no or only mild symptoms!
- Or that the U.S. has reached herd immunity around July of this year!
"The New York Times issued a lengthy correction after numerous mistakes in an article about coronvirus vaccinations for children, including the egregious exaggeration of coronavirus hospitalizations among U.S. children.
The article by Apoorva Mandavilli documented how the U.S. is forging ahead on full vaccination for children while other countries are experimenting with just one shot after weighing the risks. ...
The Times issued a correction noting several issues with the article.
The article also misstated the number of Covid hospitalizations in U.S. children. It is more than 63,000 from August 2020 to October 2021, not 900,000 since the beginning of the pandemic. ..."
