My crude modelling of CDC's data on COVID deaths children (0-18 though its bogus corruption that CDC says 0-18 is peds) compared to 0-18 influenza deaths; I use the 2017-2018 flu season
I make a crude model to show that twice as many deaths occur due to flu in 0-18 year olds and we never shut down or closed schools or masked
Its illogical and nonsensical and corrupted that CDC says 0-21 years or sometimes 0-20 or 0-18 is pediatric. They do this to front load the heavy deaths in persons in the later teen years. COVID has much more deaths there and near zero in young children. If at all, and Makary is also on record saying no ‘healthy’ child has died of COVID. Such corruption. IMO a ped is a child 3, 5, 7, 8 years old etc. IMO at most 13…but then, its open to interpretation. Anyway, here goes:
How did I come to the conclusion that twice as many deaths occur in children, well, I modelled crudely and am open to your model. Here are my considerations or inputs to the model:
1.) I use CDC’s prior reports on deaths from influenza and I focus on 0-17 years old data
Past Seasons
https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/past-seasons.html
2.) I have chosen the 2017-2018 influenza season from CDC that reports 526 deaths in persons 0-17 years old. It was a heavy year. Lets forget about the 18th year as the data is not there; so 526 (data source 2017-2018); however, the CDC data gives a 95% CI of 176 to 725 deaths, and I have chosen to use the 725 upper limit and discount it by 100 deaths (I will be liberal) and thus my model uses the number of deaths to be 625; and now, I will remove 25 deaths and bring it to 600 so that you do not accuse me of fudging the data
Had I used 2014 to 2015, 2014-2015, the flat absolute deaths are 803 and the upper limit of the 95% CI is 799 and even higher than 2017 to 2018 season and so I chose 2017-2018 to be conservative with the children data so the skeptics would not start calling home to their mommies in trauma :-)
3) I model based on flu season lasts 6 months or so, October to April 1, so 6 months. Again, I am crudely modelling
4) I then look at the CDC’s reported COVID deaths 0-18 years old as the data is there for the 18th year, and this is 1,112 deaths. The assumption is this is since the start of COVID and again, crude modelling.

"seasonal influenza kills more children than COVID and the data above tells us this"
Be careful—you might give them ideas and they'll start mandating the flu jab for kids 🤦♀️
early on, when we already knew that COVID leaves kids more or less alone, we also knew that flu does not leave them alone and kills more kids. Also kids spread flu but not COVID. So I'd be talking to friends who'd canceled their vacations with the children during the onset of the COVID mania. I asked them if they ever traveled with their children (esp. via air) during Christmas or even March Break. They generally responded yes! I would then adopt a face of horror! Don't you know that when traveling in the past (and possibly the future) during INFLUENZA season you're putting your children at risk of illness and death as well as yourselves should you contract the disease from your kids? They'd of course not really have an answer. Then I'd tell them... you know maybe now is the time to travel. Influenza has evidently gone away. You and your kids are at least 2-3 times safer now than when you traveled during flu season. Due to the MSM effects of mass formation psychosis they could not seem to understand what I was telling them. And I also point out re the 'disappearance' of influenza, I still don't understand how this happened, but we know that even in countries where COVID had not yet emerged, flu would not have been misdiagnosed, on purpose or otherwise, as COVID. But I guess parents are more accepting of their child dying from flu as opposed to not dying from COVID.
