What's puzzling is that based on the CDC hospitalization data, we'd have at best 1~2
thousand children hospitalized if every child in America were to contract SARS-2 (rates show an average 1 out of 100,000 hospitalized for <18yo). Presumably "long covid" is also not even remotely prevalent among children (if this isn't the case, where's the evidence?).
The idea that we should just be deploying vaccines (that have been pushed through an extraordinarily abbreviated regulatory process) ASAP is beyond ridiculous imo.
