How many kids are killed in auto accidents annually?

Numbers need context.

I'll do some of the research. 4,000 kids in 2016 (source linked, USNWR). 8x covid. But we all let our kids ride in cars.

I'm pro vaccine and all that, but people are out of their minds on what risk levels really are.

What is the risk of dying or serious issues from covid ... If you are under 20 it's tiny. If you are over 20 and vaccinated it is tiny. If you are over 20 and didn't get the vaccine - it is NOT tiny, get the damn vaccine.
