    The risk of COVID-19 for children is quite obviously not zero, anyone who says that is trivially wronghttps://twitter.com/malar0ne/status/1392236006368104448 …

    Anyway, Jay Bhattacharya was on Fox News again tonight, claimed: *risk of Covid to kids is zero *vaccinating kids is "not good for kids" *doesn't reduce risk of disease to rest of population Nodded along to Lauren Ingraham's insinuation it's a money-making plot by big pharma. pic.twitter.com/mXgutGxTbN

        It’s close to, what isn’t trivial is injecting a drug which isn’t necessary not have any longitudinal data

        Obviously many counterarguments to that, but one interesting point - what does the longitudinal data say about COVID-19 infection in children?

        The rate of illness in children and the very low number of symptoms in children have left us very misleading and lacking various observational data, including tests.⬇️

        ➡️ As a result, we overlooked the most fundamental component of this outbreak, the ability to find time to spread before the symptom, and the main reason for its spread, here again in children, and again we were wrong!

        Have the GBD proponents ever discussed any risk associated to COVID-19 that is not just the individual risk of death under best treatment? I'm not just talking about "long COVID". I'm thinking about the risk of overwhelming the system, or of more standard long-term consequences

        may be you can add to your epi rules - the risk is never zero (for anything or is it!?)😅

        Lol now I'm trying to think of a risk that really *is* zero. Maybe risk of lower limb fracture in a double amputee?
