This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

The only people pushing COVID isn't a risk for kids are by CUBluejays
not physicians that care for kids.
COVID has killed 350-500 kids during a time where masks, distancing, school closures, etc where happening. Flu in that time period killed 1. Now we are removing all those measures and kids less than 12 can't get the vaccine.
Death isn't the only downside of COVID for kids. Long COVID in kids is real. Myocarditis happens in about 1/50 and it tends to be more severe than than the myocarditis from the vaccines that happens somewhere between 1/3,000-6,000 kids in Israel. 95% of those cases from Israel where asymptomatic.
