> Post-vaccination CAE rate was highest in young boys aged 12-15 following dose two. For boys 12-17 without medical comorbidities, the likelihood of post vaccination dose two CAE is 162.2 and 94.0/million respectively. This incidence exceeds their expected 120-day COVID-19 hospitalization rate at both moderate (August 21, 2021 rates) and high COVID-19 hospitalization incidence.

In short, COVID-19 is not very dangerous for younger people. So much so that the vaccine appears to pose a greater health risk.

They aren't comparing apples and apples. CAE occured at all for vaccine, vs. 120+ day stay in hospital for covid.

And of course they removed those with comorbidities, who are exactly the ones who are worse affected by covid than the vaccine.

Lies, damn lies and statistics?
