> like the story that kids don't get COVID

What story is that? Are you sure you aren't misparaphrasing the fact that kids are not susceptible to severe outcomes?

Yes, it was repeat messaging from the presidents on down.

It was a common dis-information campaign until reality hit so hard that nobody could possibly support the idea: https://fullfact.org/health/children-can-get-coronavirus/

Kids are at significantly less risk of severe illness from covid than from influenza. This is well-known (see https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34107134/ for example).

I remember when the CDC quietly subtracted more than 72k alleged covid deaths, including some alleged pediatric covid deaths, from the tally and blamed a "coding error": https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/mar/24/cdc-coding-err...

This is patently absurd to say a disease that causes bad outcomes for 2 in a million should recieve a drug that causes bad outcomes for millions. Keep it up! Are you an insider too?

What do your fact checkers say about the leading cause of death in Canada?
