Just intentionally poor journalism. But expected.

It was exactly what you called it. Fear porn.

Actually, our bodies need to learn to fight illness. So it is quite fine for them to get it. The numbers literally show that.

Again, show me why it isnt good for them to get it.

Get the vaccine teaches your body how to fight the illness when you come into contact with it. That's the whole point.

 

[NorthDallas40]

So you are willing to put your child's life at risk, even if it's just a small percentage that they'll die? Does your kid know this?

If I had children I’d absolutely look at the risk / rewards which clearly show at this time the risk is very very low and the reward seems not worth it for an otherwise healthy child. It also goes to health specifics of the child.

So what I would do is engage my pediatrician on the specifics as they pertain to my child and make an informed decision. What I wouldn’t do is listen to some rando idiot on the internet pushing fear porn.

And statistically speaking it is quite safe for children to do it naturally.

You are free to provide facts that say otherwise.

Would you let your kids ride in a car? Drive a car? Go to a baseball game? Play football? Do anything?

I hung out with my kids while I had covid.

Families live in fear as long-haul COVID-19 afflicts more children

I am legit curious at the fascination with fear porn from you guys. It's like there is zero critical thinking skills or even an attempt to read the article. You guys are being embarrassingly played reposting this journalistic retard nonsense.

I can only conclude, assuming tyler and others aren't simply playing the role of troll on VN, some people need fear in their life. Without something to fear, there is something missing in themselves.

They get in the car everyday. So... I guess the answer is yes.

This statement is just plain stupid.

Sounds like you need a government job!

I'm much better at trading options.

There are aliens among us.

If the Martians would have worn masks they would have won the War of the Worlds and we would all be speaking Martian. Good thing Orson Welles didn't think of that.

My body already figured it out. Didn't need Big Pharma's help.

It’s merely a vehicle to some to show how much more virtuous they are than the rest of us where virtuous is a euphemism for better. It’s just unfounded stupidity.

Families live in fear as long-haul COVID-19 afflicts more children

Interestingly, this is the only actual set of statistics in the "article" (which is a pile of junk):

A study published last week by Scientific Reports that looked at data from more than 12,000 child patients found that the majority don’t show typical COVID-19 symptoms like fever, cough or shortness of breath. Almost 19% reported fever, malaise, muscle or joint pain, and disturbances of smell or taste. More than 16% had respiratory symptoms, 14% had gastrointestinal problems, and a few required critical care.

In other words, no data on long-term sequelae which, I can assure you, are exceedingly uncommon in children.

Look at this opening line:

One of the few statistical comforts of the otherwise nightmarish COVID-19 pandemic — that it largely spares young people — is fading

The author then goes on to provide absolutely zero "statistical" evidence to back this statement.

In fact, toward the end, this gem is included:

though good data are scarce

Any thoughts as to why that might be? Answer: because the actual cases are so scarce that they can hardly be studied. You don't think Pediatric hospitals are following the data? You think they are overwhelmed and don't have the capacity? Answer: obviously not, as many don't have a single CV19+ inpatient most of the time.

Give me a freaking break.

Bless your heart for taking a serious, objective assessment of what Tyler posted.

The more I see of this stuff the more it pisses me off. Scare tactics and politics being played for clicks and power is having real cost to real people. Lockdowns are doing no good. The journalists and yahoos who repost this crap with Twitter and TikTok and whatever need to be mercilessly flamed at every chance. At some point heads need to roll and jobs need to lost.

@kiddiedoc clearly must not be a real MD

You’d wind up firing over 75% of “journalists”

...

On second thought GREAT IDEA!

Every time you put your kid in a car you put their lives at risk. More risk than Covid.

But weren't they in suits and sealed vehicles??????

You are correct sir... they were. Lends even more credence to the idiocy of these face diapers.

I guess some people care more about preserving human life than others, even some "doctors".

Give me a freaking break.

The article covers the long term side effects some children are experiencing after being diagnosed with COVID, explicitly stating that often these children never wind up in a hospital but suffer from home. It's clear you know how to cherry pick things that support your stance as opposed to looking at the overall facts of a given situation.

Thanks for proving me right Cletus.
