Why because we consider the numbers and not just the headlines? Of the hospitalizations of the age group the headlines are concerned with, there were less than 500 hospitalizations, 15% of which were simply because they were already in the hospital at birth and tested positive. Around 20% were premature, with close to 30% having 1 or more underlying medical conditions. If you look at the numbers, the only ones who were of real concern were the 132 who had respiratory distress. How many died? They don't tell us, but do say that it's less than 1% of hospitalizations. Also if you look at the chart in the study and realize that it's only 7 out of every 10,000 infants who were hospitalized, it really isn't that drastic.
Sound like the regular flu. Most adults have already been exposed to RSV and have had immunities since childhood.
Between the flu and a common cold you say?
Much better to listen to some troll pushing the propagandists talking points that they may or may not be paid to spew.

I guess you missed the part where they didn't list any deaths, but said that it was very low (less than 1% of those hospitalized, which could be 0% for all we know). The article you posted had nothing to do with infant death, except to mention how low the mortality rate is. Nice try twisting things around though. No one likes dead babies, but the fact is that infants are more likely to die from pregnancy complications than they are from covid-19. With that in mind, should we begin forced c-sections on all mothers to avoid complications at birth?
Do you realize that Big Pharma is the top funder of these studies? That couldn't possibly make the results and studies skewed could it? Nah.

Right? It's just misery reading them.

Drug Companies and Medicine: What Money Can Buy
Speaker: Marcia Angell, Senior Lecturer in Social Medicine, Harvard Medical School Professor Angell's lecture can be viewed online. Also, an adaptation of Angell's lecture was published in the May/June 2010 issue of Boston Review.
Could you please expand on that thought? It sounds like what you are describing is rape. Forced pregnancy?
