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?
