How about 1 out of 52 children in the 5-11 test group experiencing heart inflammation as a result of the vaccine? That sounds a hell of a lot more dangerous than covid for kids.

> "according to data reviewed by the CDC's advisory panel on vaccines, as of Oct. 10, almost 2 million 5- to 11-year-olds have gotten ill from COVID-19, and 94 have died."

That's a laughably low death rate. Driving your child to school is more dangerous for them than Covid.

Can you provide a citation for that "1 out of 52" statistic? I'm seeing

>In Pfizer's clinical trial for 5- to 11-year-olds, there were no cases of myocarditis, although the company acknowledged that the trials were not big enough to pick up such rare events.
