New Omicron variant fills up children's hospitals in the U.S.

You shared a propaganda article with a typical eye-popping headline, yet it includes little to no data, and doctors interviewed even explicitly state there is no evidence of Omicron being more severe in children compared to the past variants that were less lethal compared to influenza in children. Even regarding the MIS-C they explicitly state there has been no rise with this variant. These articles are designed to instill fear so that people vaccinate their kids because the feds pre-purchased 7 doses per citizen and need to get them in arms. Also not sure how that is relevant to the message you quoted.

That's a completely misleading headline. Sure there's increases but what was the baseline? 5 patients? and how many of them are patients suffering from a comorbidity who test positive for COVID as opposed to suffering from COVID?

This is why nobody trusts the media.

There's no evidence that COVID is a major risk for children. Full stop. Case fatality rates for kids are infinitely small.

It's amazing how you've learned how to breathe with your head in the sand........
