And how many of those 500k+ were infants?
The AAP shows over 5,049,465 documented cases of Covid-19 in children, with 444 reported deaths, virtually all among immunocompromised adolescents and teenagers. I could only find a single digits worth of infant mortality cases reported, one in louisiana, one in mississippi, one in kansas, and those appear to list covid as either cause of death or as a "significant contributing factor", which can't be explained further.

The amount of child deaths to covid is so low we can't measure it in the US like we can adult deaths to remove doubt over actual cause of death / diagnosis by looking at total mortality and comparing excess deaths.
At least in the UK, a study of child mortality found no difference between death rates in 2020 / 2021 versus 2019 before the pandemic, with no excess mortality despite at least 437 cases of deaths in children who tested positive, showing no causal link.

I think like 125 ppl die a year from lightning strikes. Covid has killed 500k+ this year. So you are wrong sir. Very wrong. If you can prove me otherwise I'd love to see it

if only we could accurately track parents/grandparents killed by germ spreading kids. my wife's district is poor af and has an almost 50% rate of 3 generation homes or grandparent child care.

kids might not die but imagine living the next 60 years knowing u killed grandma. eeeesh,

If you ask me, there is no fucking reason whatsoever for people over age 16 to not be vaccinated yet at this point in time.
