I've seen suggestions that the idea younger children might be less susceptible to infection with #COVID19 is a "myth", based on children just not being tested enough
That is untrue!
Whilst it's true children are under tested, this is not where this idea came from!

I've seen a bit too many claims that kids almost never catch it :/

I’ve definitely seen claims that children are not a significant infection vector. Which might be true if they are exposed to the same risk as adults, but less so if adults are in lockdown and kids are in large classrooms.

Do you recommend any studies of non-mortality impacts observed in children?

Yes, exactly. Add to this list comments such as, "Guess schools aren't COVID free zones after all" "We need to stop magic thinking that kids don't transmit this virus" etc ad infinitum. Extraordinarily unhelpful.

Yeah nonstop attacking of strawman to avoid discussing the reality. The kids are the losers.

Exactly. Since April AUS, China, Iceland etc had pretty exhaustive tracing studies showing real world lack of spread inside schools. The response “they had virus in their nose” and here’s definitive speculation for what that means, which is contrary to actual results

And they can't be vaccinated soon due to lack of FDA approval.

I've been wondering the psychological mechanism behind these comments. I can see they get a sense of pleasure every time they find the piece of information showing kids get the disease and transmit it, but totally omit that they do these with a fraction of adults. Why? +

+ Why do they want to confide kids to homes, close down schools? Why do they want to omit all the evidence that show it is possible to keep schools open? What is the psychological mechanism behind this mindset?
