"You cannot say Covid isn’t dangerous for kids and they shouldn’t have been vaccinated. They may be less likely to die from initial infection but we know death isn’t the only issue with infection (and some children still died and are still dying now from Covid)"

Just look at the data for deaths from Covid in your link for 2023
Deaths under 1: 4
Deaths under 4: 7

Which is similar to chickenpox with 4 children under 4 dying from it but with many more suffering from long term effects.

Compared to RSV with 83 children dying with the majority under 1.

Of course any children dying from any cause is tragic but relatively speaking Covid is not a danger to children.

It’s not about deaths. It’s about illness. For the love of god Stop being so black and white. There hundreds of thousands of kids in the U.K. with long covid.

(Most covid deaths are not being recorded as covid deaths because they’re not dying whilst positive. They’ll go down as pneumonia or something else.)

Look at the new paper on covid in under 6months old.
