I find it very hard to believe the R0 of delta variant is in the 5 to 9 range and is more dangerous than the original variant. That would mean exponential growth and we'd all be seeing it in our communities. That has to be a deliberate lie to coerce more people to get jabbed. Amazing how many children have been jabbed already.
The academy, which represents pediatricians, pointed out that severe illness still appears to be rare among children. The number of hospitalizations has remained steady through much of the pandemic. Children accounted for 1.3%-3.5% of the hospitalizations, depending on the state.
Seven states have reported no child deaths from Covid-19 during the pandemic. As of Monday, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports 526 deaths among children ages 0-17.
Among the some 25 million US children between 12 and 17 years old, about 10.9 million have been vaccinated with at least one dose of vaccine, according to CDC data.
