This point from a leading researcher on COVID & children is very important. We can't lump 15 and 5 together, let alone everyone under 25. In my opinion, this admin's pandemic response has been catastrophic. But we can report this without being this wrong.https://twitter.com/apsmunro/status/1300807417798823938 …

(And of course CDC provides age breakdowns and has had excellent reports. I don't understand what the reporters are claiming, it makes very little sense. The print version has many errors remaining; they've been silently updating the online one but still not coherent).

Surely you do understand what the reporters are claiming. The White House made it clear to the CDC that information suggesting Covid-19 is a serious problem was to be suppressed and public reports were to be arranged so as to encourage people to go about their “normal” lives.

“Normal” was a poor choice of words, I agree. Any grouping of the raw age data is arbitrary. It becomes “cherry picking” when you do it for a purpose that is political rather than neutral. It seems clear that CDC scientists feel the White House wanted a particular framing.
