I keep hearing this statement, but I find it hard to reconcile it with hard data. For example, credible numbers from Europe https://euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps show that the excess mortality in the 0-14 age range was actually negative in 2020, and in a normal range in 2021 (slightly higher than 2017 and 2018 but lower than in 2019). Certainly by looking at the weekly 0-14 chart it is impossible to say that there is anything nefarious going on.

The US CDC site was harder to navigate, but last time I looked, it painted a similar picture.
