member who is chief of infectious disease at a major Children's hospital and it is 100% accurate that there are more kids in hospitals right now than at any time in the past. No, they arent there to have their appendix out and then happen to have COVID. That is a separate issue with COVID in hospitals more recently with other patients, but not related to the child issue which is verifiable information from many directions.

You want to argue what you think the smartest public policies should be in light of knowing this and balancing all concerns. That is fair to want to debate -- although you are so twisted that you won't even point out that many voices on all ends of the spectrum are urging schools to stay open based on the....drumroll..science....related to this surge. But calling it "playing the toddler card" and "fear porn" when it is an absolute fact and considerably more kids have died from COVID than ever died annually pre-vacccine from things like the Chicken Pox or Mumps -- you are sickeningly awful. Although I expect you to double down with complete lies about how one should compare this to child issues from vaccine myocarditis or how this somehow shows that vaccines don't work.

Incredible how you spend your time on this issue.
