This is so so so disappointing Dr Offit. You were so correct last fall when you argued against bi valent boosters for the young and healthy. and now this dreck. Who got to you ?? there are so many mistruths and out right lies stated here. Just a couple examples : 1. "Children can die from COVID; by April 2023, more than 1,700 children had succumbed to the disease." the number is actually closer to 1300 and the vast vast majority of those were children with significant medical issues . any Childs death is sad but to not be honest about this - that the risk of death for a heathy child is literally statistically almost zero is at best disingenuous - at worst purposefully misleading 2. "Although COVID vaccines are a rare cause of myocarditis (inflammation of the heart), the problem appears to be short-lived and self-resolving. Myocarditis following COVID infection, on the other hand, is far more common and far more severe than that following vaccination." first , how about I give YOUR child some MILD AND SELF LIMITING myocarditis. You good with that ??? of course not because there is no such thing as MILD myocarditis - and you KNOW this. It puts anyone suffering from it in danger of future cardiac issues - again you KNOW this . secondly, MULTIPLE good studies have shown that myocarditis post covid infection is actually quite RARE - especially in children . 3. "Children, like adults, can suffer from COVID for months (long COVID)." The latest studies - including a recent one from Finland - show absolutely ZERO correlation between having covid and getting long covid ! think about that ??? in addition there are ZERO lab markers - a study from 2021 showed as only significant correlation for long covid - Middle aged women ! 4. "mRNA vaccines, which are highly effective at preventing severe disease, have now been given safely to more than 10 million young children." how many have been given UN safely ???? I mean most European nations do not even offer the mRNA vaccines to healthy children. esp under 12. but here you are shilling. As I stated. - I am so so disappointed in you.
