You are cherry picking the specific flu season you want. The average pediatric flu season is 100 to 250 a year.

Also when you are dealing with 5 deaths over 2 years than 1 death will swing your argument the opposite direction.

You are arguing in bad faith.

They are not preventable. Most the children cannot get vaccinated and the vaccination isnt 100% effective.

If it is that tragic than we need to close down schools because most children cannot get vaccinated anyway.

It is not 100% preventable. The vaccine isnt even 100% effective.

I mean I think that's his point

Exactly, 350 pediatric deaths total in almost 2 years. That's exactly the same as flu.

Opinion articles are not evidence.

Ahh, I see you don't know what evidence is.

Of course they will "SAY" that. There is no evidence to prove otherwise why would they not say that. The problem is that only about 50% of people aged 18-24 are vaccinated.

It should be the same as the general population or even lower given that the group that went to Lolla were younger and they have lower vaccination rates.

The requirement to get into Lolla was a vaccine or a negative COVID test.

It's referencing the linked study below.

I'm willing to bet that it isn't "hesitancy" with the those who have some high school. They are more likely to be young (under 30) and therefore are probably more apathetic as opposed to hesitant.

Or.. you may be over-exaggerating the risk to children given that the pediatric deaths from COVID are on par with a moderate flu season.

Nice opinion article that proves nothing.

They do agree that's why they require a vaccine for chicken pox and not the flu.

2

COMMENT 29d ago

There fact that there are less deaths doesn't make it less of a threat. COVID is multiple times more transmissible.

The only reason there is more deaths in a given year with COVID is because the infection rate is exponentially higher than chicken pox. But that's because pox was around for years and years and huge amounts of the population had immunity.

If there as many cases of pox there would be 1000s of pediatric deaths.

By your argument the flu is worse than pox and we still dont force children to take a flu vaccine.

Your argument is just dumb.
