>- Only about 2% of kids under 5 have had a 1st dose since they were introduced nearly a month ago

>- Only 30% of the 5-11 year old population has had 2 doses

And yet I bet we all here (in the US; I hear that other countries haven't bothered, seeing no need based on the raw statistics) have seen/heard news stories in which parents are quoted as being pleased that their little ones can finally be vaccinated. Were parents who saw no need quoted? Yeah, I didn't hear any either.

Yet another example of The Narrative(TM) being pushed, regardless of the facts on the ground.

I heard a PSA on the radio that said you should get your 5-13 or whatever age children vaccinated because "many children will suffer major covid complications or even death".

'Many'. No percentage. Just many.
