Kids are 13x more likely to suffer from the vaccine than die from COVID.
According to Health Infobase Canada
From the Canadian Medical Association:

To protect our kids from COVID-19, we have to be grown-ups
I have it heard before: children are not as affected by COVID-19 as those with co-morbidities; children can wear masks; children will recover much quicker; children should not be subjected to vaccine experiments; children will not die.
~Dr. Katharine Smart, CMA President-elect
This doctor and CMA President-Elect, is trying to encourage you into you getting your child vaccinated. Against COVID. We’re in a global COVID pandemic and with case rates on the rise, this seems like it would be a reasonable.
But it’s not.
It’s not reasonable at all.
Not if you look at the science and statistics that are available and released by the Government of Canada.
“Preventable death and disability are not acceptable consequences. As the denominator of children with COVID increases, so will the adverse outcomes. It’s simple math.”
~Dr. Katharine Smart, CMA President-elect
While this is a statistical probability and yes, simple math, I decided to drill into this and see how this is playing out.
According to Health Infobase Canada, as of today, since the first reported COVID death in Canada - March 9, 2020(18 Months), there have been the sum total of 15 child mortalities from COVID, aged 0-19.
A sum total of 15 deaths in the 0-19 age demographic, out of how many cases?
In spite of what you may have heard and only up until the updated stats Friday August 20th, 2021, this age group made up the #1 number of Cases in Canada:
Running a close second, this age group makes up among the highest risk for getting COVID and the Absolute LOWEST risk of dying from COVID.
At the same time, Health Infobase Canada also reports that the number of Adverse Events to Vaccinations, in this same group (excluding 0-11 that haven’t been vaccinated yet, 17-19 in another category), cases numbering greater than 200.
What do you suppose that number would look like if were already vaccinating 0-11 and 17-19 were also included, in the case and mortality scheme of things? I think we can be positive that the number wouldn’t go down but even if we assumed the absolute same rate of 12-17 was 0-19, the chances of an Adverse Reaction to the vaccine vs mortality to COVID is a factor greater than 13x. Again, as the good doctor stated:
“Preventable death and disability are not acceptable consequences. As the denominator of children with COVID increases, so will the adverse outcomes. It’s simple math.”
So, simple math is, what number is greater, 15 or 200+?
If we increase the denominator, where are we more likely to see the greatest increase in risk?
Adverse events aren’t the same as death and they do range in severity. Keeping this in mind:
Health Canada updates Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccine labels to include information on myocarditis and pericarditis
That was a brief overview of the relation of the potential harms caused by vaccination in relation to the very low risk of mortality in a very select age demographic. All lives are important and I don’t want this to seem callous or uncaring but the reality is, we cannot prevent every death from anybody in any age group.
If we wanted to compare this to the risk of COVID to something we know, we could compare it to Influenza/Pneumonia and if we did, we’d find out that you are more likely to die from the flu than you are from COVID, if you are under the age of 19.
Over the last 5 years, prior to 2020, deaths for a 12 month period from influenza have exceeded the death toll of all of those under the age of 19 for 18 months of COVID, since the start of COVID.
One more thing worth noting, this posted study is only age 1-14, not 0-19. I have no idea why Health Info Canada can’t get their shit together on age ranged demographics, but they really should. In any case, with less age representation included, there were still more deaths from influenza than the less deaths with more age representation from COVID.
(Sorry about that. I don’t know how to better explain it.)
The summary looks like this:
Of the 3 things listed above that children ages from 0-19 are at risk of - vaccination, influenza or COVID, the one you want them to get is COVID.
This isn’t conspiracy theory. ALL of the stats posted are from Health Infobase Canada - aka - The Government of Canada.
But let’s dive a little deeper into Influenza and saving the children. Prior to 2020, we’ve never seen the mass hysteria surrounding ‘the flu’, as we have to COVID. Do you remember, ever in your life, any single time, that the greater mass of politicians, doctors and medical professionals demanded children wear a mask, lock down, practice social distancing and get a vaccine for ‘the flu’? Ever?
So why is the President-Elect of the Canadian Medical association saying otherwise?
This seems like a very important role elected by very smart people. This was their elected leader? She is the Maverick of this ‘Top Gun’ Academy?
This also seemingly ignores that the current vaccines were developed for a different variant(Alpha) than the current Delta variant that is predominant in Canada, which makes up 92.7% of the cases:
Effective rate of Pfizer vaccine puts it in the 39% range in Israel.
The value of the reward is down 56% (from Pfizers 95% efficacy claim) while a factor of 13.3x minimum rate of risk from getting a vaccine stays the same.
This is their own information.
Have they not been reading it?
Can we please stop scaring parents who are sending their children back to school in the fall?
Haven’t they already been through enough over the last year and a half?
