From our very own Centers for Disease Control:
Characteristics and Clinical Outcomes of Children and Adolescents Aged <18 Years Hospitalized with COVID-19 — Six Hospitals, United States, July–August 2021
Summary
What is already known about this topic?
Pediatric COVID-19–related hospitalization rates increased when the highly transmissible SARS-CoV-2 B.1.617.2 (Delta) variant became the predominant circulating strain.
What is added by this report?
Among children and adolescents with SARS-CoV-2 infection admitted to six hospitals during July–August 2021, 77.9% were hospitalized for acute COVID-19. Among these patients, approximately one third aged <5 years had a viral coinfection (approximately two thirds of which were respiratory syncytial virus) and approximately two thirds of those aged 12–17 years had obesity; only 0.4% of age-eligible patients were fully vaccinated.
So 1/3rd tested positive for Covid but also tested positive for a second different virus of which 2/3rds were respiratory viruses. On top of that, 2/3rds of the patients were obese. Obesity seems to be a determining factor in all age ranges. Don't want the Wuhan Flu? Loose weight.
Of course, there is also a reason for the push for childhood vaccinations - one of liability for the manufacturers. This post has those details: Vaccinating children - not a good thing to do It is nothing about public health and everything about liability for the pharma corporations.
