@no1maraudersaid I think I'll just ignore your ridiculous anti-vaxxer arguments from now on. Nothing you have claimed in this post is true and they have been debunked on this Forum many times.
There you go lying again. Where is your proof? Show me anything I said about this issue that was debunked. You cannot do it because you are a habitual liar.
Did anyone else on this thread actually read the CDC report that's being called "manipulated"?
I read it, and it seems to me a perfectly reasonable assessment of the current situation. From there, the Blaze took it one way ("look at how the CDC is always wrong"😉 and CNN took it the other way ("we should all be scared and keep schools closed forever"😉.
It's not the CDC's fault. Glenn Becks media company is after clicks and dollars, so it doesn't matter what the CDC even says. It's always wrong and we're always supposed to be mad. Stop believing the weirdos on the internet.
This is what you're upset about? Or is the Blaze article just trying to generate ad revenue with catchy but misleading headlines?
Summary
What is already known about this topic?
Most COVID-19–associated hospitalizations occur in adults, but severe disease occurs in all age groups, including adolescents aged 12–17 years.
What is added by this report?
COVID-19 adolescent hospitalization rates from COVID-NET peaked at 2.1 per 100,000 in early January 2021, declined to 0.6 in mid-March, and rose to 1.3 in April. Among hospitalized adolescents, nearly one third required intensive care unit admission, and 5% required invasive mechanical ventilation; no associated deaths occurred.

Why children are less likely than adults to spread COVID-19
@eladarsaid I believe those numbers are based on tested as covid positive teens, not all teens who contract covid.
In any case, at least you should be willing to admit that covid is no medical emergency for teens.
Yeah. I think that's obvious. But the CDC didn't say it was necessarily a medical emergency. That was done by a conservative click bait website that wanted you to think the CDC was misrepresenting their own data.

LOL!
Now be a good chap and convert that to percentages.
Do you realize how incredibly small those numbers are? How does that compare to bee sting deaths?

@wildgrasssaid Yeah. I think that's obvious. But the CDC didn't say it was necessarily a medical emergency. That was done by a conservative click bait website that wanted you to think the CDC was misrepresenting their own data.
They weren't.
If it is so obvious, then why is the big policial push to immunize kids? Why shut down schools?
