Only 25 children died of COVID-19 in the UK, new study finds

From the Wall Street Journal:

Children are at extremely slim risk of dying from Covid-19, according to some of the most comprehensive studies to date, which indicate the threat might be even lower than previously thought.

Some 99.995% of the 469,982 children in England who were infected during the year examined by researchers survived, one study found.

In fact, there were fewer deaths among children due to the virus than initially suspected. Among the 61 child deaths linked to a positive Covid-19 test in England, 25 were actually caused by the illness, the study found.”

And yet, if you ask anyone on the street, they’ll tell you that thousands of children died. What a total failure of public health at every level. Or total success, depending on what you believe to be the motives of the public health establishment.
