"It caused "substantially" more deaths than any vaccine-preventable disease historically, the researchers wrote."
Again, playing with the wording for shock value to herd the sheep. They don't give the population numbers now compared to, say, the 1918 flu which also killed a lot of kids. The quote doesn't say percentage, it infers total.
""If we looked at all those other leading causes of death " whether you're talking about motor vehicle accidents or childhood cancer " and we said, Gosh, if we had some simple, safe thing we could do to get rid of one of those, wouldn't we just jump at it?""
But before that they say:
"In 2019, the last year before the pandemic, the leading causes of death among children and young adults ages 0 to 19 included perinatal conditions, unintentional injuries, congenital malformations or deformations, assault, suicide, malignant neoplasms, diseases of the heart and influenza and pneumonia."
Which basically infers that unintentional injuries, assault, etc. are all the result of complexity. Yet, we see articles all the time of kids dying because of stupid reasons that could have easily been prevented.
The spin and bias in this article is almost tangible. This is just another example of them herding all of you and you continue to just blindly follow along because a journalist at a media outlet that meets your narrative said so.
