This is the 6th pediatric death from COVID he's posted in past 48 hours


?s=21


Another child has died from COVID. This is the 6th pediatric death from COVID that I've posted in the last 48 hours. The child was from Los Angeles County California, less than 12 years of age and therefore ineligible for vaccination. abc7.com/los-angeles-co…

Those parents are pathological.

If I had kids in school, I would pay them to wear a mask all day if there was no mask mandate at school. I have not seen any laws prohibiting masks but maybe those are coming.

I am so angry that we are seeing such needless death because of the anti-vaxxer b.s. which has scared some folks from taking the vaccine before the Delta variant exploded on the scene. This is simply going to get worse at exactly the wrong time when children under the age of 18 return to school classrooms. We will end up having to go back to isolating and stopping economic growth until a-holes like DeSentence, Abbot & Noem finally take the correct action or get thrown out on their asses. As it stands, this new surge is going to surpass the impact of the 1918 pandemic if we cannot stem this tide asap.

The people who believe this crap annoy me.

The people who know it is false but use it for their own political or financial gain infuriate me.

I’ve seen plenty of narcissistic people over the years but never believed there were so many authoritarians in this country.

It can’t happen here? It can and it is and the Biden administration and DOJ must use all legal remedies to expose them, try and convict them.

(who I have yet to see in the flesh) was exposed to the virus in her rehabilitation setting. She was quarantined and checked for nearly 2 weeks. Thank the Universe, she tested negative throughout the ordeal.

Cassandra is a single child but representative of all the babies who cannot be vaccinated through no fault of their own or that of their parents. She's in rehab because her weak lungs are still an issue after major heart surgery last year. She shares a pediatric ward with fragile babes, none of whom can risk a Covid infection. And yet . . .

Someone walked onto that floor with an active viral infection. Because Freedumb!

My daughter-in-law said if she ever finds out who brought the virus into the unit? She will personally murder them.

These babies and all the other medically fragile Americans is why not getting vaccinated is the ultimate act of selfishness and betrayal. You want to risk your own life and be an asshole, that's one thing. But the vaccinated and their children have rights, too.

We're all getting sick and tired of the excuses!

sure it's not as effective if not everyone is masking but any little bit can make a difference. You can get them a spider man or star wars mask if that will encourage them. This virus has already spread through summer camps.

Seems like forever and a year for the 12 and under approval to get rolling. Did they really think only vaccinating adults was going to work?

Obviously these sick and dying children aren’t really sick or dying, because that would contradict the approved narrative. Even here on DU I see that refrain offered up again and again.
