This is complete nonsense. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.07.01.21259785v...

In Israel (I use them because they have a fantastic dashboard) not a single individual under the age of 19 has died of covid.

Stop fear mongering.

I don't think he claimed anybody died.

Children have died. It's just that the numbers are very small, and the hospitals are not in any way packed with young people.

It's very common for children admitted to hospitals for other conditions to be diagnosed with asymptotic COVID-19 as part of admission screening. There is no reliable evidence of frequent serious post-COVID issues in children. I support vaccination, but let's not exaggerate the risks of disease.

And the most unverifiable scare tactic comment of this post award goes to...

Newborns with serious post-covid issues, eh? Do you have any proof whatsoever of this or your other claims or are we just taking your word on it.

Can you provide some data about this?

Others replying to you have provided links showing that very few children die of Covid. Do you have specific links about long term disability DUE TO covid (not a disability caused by a car accident where the child was also found to have covid, for example).

Horseshit!
