Question: Does it make sense to vaccinate under 18-year-olds for Covid in The United States? Answer: Unequivocal NO! Reasoning: Per US Census there are approx. 73 Million less then 18 yr olds. https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2021/08/united-states-adult-population-grew-faster-than-nations-total-population-from-2010-to-2020.html Per CDC the hospitalization rate for Covid ages 5-11 for the week of October 16,2021 is .8/100,000 or .0008%. Based on population see note 1 above that is 58 people (78 million times .0008%). https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/covid-data/covidview/index.html Covid deaths ages 5-18 years is 442 people or .0006% https://data.cdc.gov/NCHS/Provisional-COVID-19-Deaths-Focus-on-Ages-0-18-Yea/nr4s-juj3 12,000 children 1-19 years of age die by unintentional injury each year, https://www.stanfordchildrens.org/en/topic/default?id=accident-statistics-90-P02853 Total deaths from ALL causes in 2020 for people 25 and younger were below average. https://usafacts.org/articles/preliminary-us-death-statistics-more-deaths-in-2020-than-2019-coronavirus-age-flu/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=ND-StatsData&gclid=CjwKCAjw_L6LBhBbEiwA4c46uicj9b57UdgFkJeBwnHxFTonZNFjwyW2XjS5rJUGnSFn8d--ZV7bLhoCnpkQAvD_BwE The CDC reports 8,878 deaths from the vaccine or .0022% who received the vaccine. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/adverse-events.html My math is .0022%/.0008% (death odds from vaccine/death odds from disease) indicating 3.7X more likely to die from the vaccine than from the disease for the 2–18 year-old group. You just cain’t fix STUPID!
