One manipulated aspect of the paper, as first pointed out by covid-georgia.com, is that it ranks total cumulative COVID-19 deaths alongside annual rates for other causes of death. This means that the study used multiple years of COVID-19 deaths compared to annual deaths for other morbidities. The manipulated data was also exposed in depth by The Daily Caller this week, leading to more focus on the issue which put America’s children at risk.
Another big issue with the CDC data presentation is the conflation of deaths caused directly by COVID-19 versus those for which COVID-19 was just a “contributing” factor. The authors state “we only consider Covid-19 as an underlying (and not contributing) cause of death,” but that is false.
When the data is annualized and only includes deaths where the virus was the underlying cause, COVID-19 does not rank as a leading cause of death for young children. For kids under one year old, it ranks 9th, behind influenza and pneumonia, heart disease and homicide. Accidents are about 25 times as likely to kill an infant than COVID-19, according to the CDC data.

Kids don't need a covid vaccine because the majority of them do just fine with an infection.

Get back to me whenever they have a covid vaccine that's not so leaky and will actually prevent transmission.
The virus that causes COVID-19 can spread from people to animals during close contact. Pets worldwide, including cats and dogs, have been infected with the virus that causes COVID-19, mostly after close contact with people with COVID-19.

That's not in doubt, but the reason that they want to vaxx kids is because children can create a pool from which more vulnerable people might become infected.
It's like saying that drug runners rarely die from drug overdoses, so why bother searching them.

That will happen short term. Low risk kids exposed results in natural immunity and virus dies off.
Which do you prefer?
