That's the problem: Hilton convinced you to support bunk science, which isn't just irresponsible but dangerous.
That (national) hospitalization rates for kids decreased over a couple of months
doesn't mean that vaccinating children (or adults for that matter) is no longer needed. Or that the CDC was trying to deceive the public by continuing to promote vaccination.
Remember that there is considerable variability in the rates of infection, hospitalization and variability across the country (and world), so national rates don't tell the whole story. And even if they did, vaccination is for the future and not the present. Vaccinating kids now is to prevent the spread and harm of the emerging Delta variant of COVID (and future variants), which are ravaging the UK, Indian and other places. And to safe guard against the increased transmission coming in the fall when kids and people spend more time indoors, presumably in in-person school.
But you'd know all of this if you sought information from credible sources like this:
https://www.npr.org/sections/corona...nt-is-the-most-contagious-of-covid-19-strains
"The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has declared that the variant of coronavirus first detected in India is a variant of concern, meaning it poses a significant threat to those who are not vaccinated.
The Delta variant, also known as B.1.617.2, is the most contagious yet. The CDC estimates that it may be responsible for nearly 10% of all new COVID-19 infections in the United States. In some Western U.S. states, the variant may be responsible for nearly 20% of cases.
That risk has public health officials stressing the benefits of vaccines, which have been shown to be highly effective against the Delta variant. In one recent study, researchers in the U.K. found that a two-dose regimen of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine was 88% effective against symptomatic disease from the Delta variant.
"If you are vaccinated, you're going to be protected, which is another very good reason to encourage people strongly to get vaccinated," says Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. "If you are not vaccinated, you are at risk of getting infected with the virus that now spreads more rapidly and gives more serious disease."
Hello; Interesting. I thought Mr. Hilton explained him self very well. I tried in my own way. The "it" in the story is not about the wisdom of the vaccine for young people. It is about the tactic used. Claiming you should get children vaccinated because infections among the young are going up as a reason, when in fact at the time of the announcements the trend had peaked and was in fact on the way down. Does not matter that you do not get the point. What matters is that many of the rest of us do get it. I personally want those in charge to give me straight information, not to use misleading information.
Also of interest is the tactic you use which mirrors that of some others. That being you trying to down play my capacity to understand the concepts. This was tried months ago on this forum. I wrote some opinions about things which did not make sense to me. What matters is in the fullness of time my views have been vindicated. If the posts are still around any can go back to read them. let the members of this forum judge for themselves if i know much about public health.
