Children flocking unnecessarily

RE: Youth with COVID flock to ER at McMaster Children’s: Nearly 8 kids a day! By Joanna Frketich, The Hamilton Spectator Page 1 headline article 18 Apr 22.

We’ve known since March, 2020, that COVID is dangerous almost exclusively to those over 80.  Unsurprisingly, the average age of death in the first year of the pandemic was over 80.  Yes, there were exceptions for those with certain co-morbidities such as obesity and diabetes, but the Ontario COVID statistics show that COVID morbidity falls practically to zero for those under 65.

That hasn’t stopped the panic porn.  Every day through every major media outlet, including the Spectator, COVID fearmongering fails to differentiate by age.  Everyone, it seems from listening to the MSM, is at risk from death by COVID, when this isn’t the case at all.

Hence, it’s not surprising that concerned parents take their kids to hospital at the slightest sign of COVID.  And kids must be at risk, right?  They have to wear those obedience masks in school, right?  Doesn’t this mean that COVID is dangerous to children?  Actually, no!  Enforced mask-wearing is a sign of something else, not of risk to those under 19.

It’s down in paragraph three that it’s confessed, “…the surge has not resulted in more kids being admitted to the hospital for COVID.”  In the midst of the Omicron wave more kids weren’t admitted to hospital, but the headline reads, “Youth with COVID flock to ER” The word “unnecessarily” wasn’t used because it would cancel the panic porn slant.
