Infection Fatality Rate of COVID-19 Was 0.0003 Percent At 0–19 Years: Study
The Epoch Times ^ | January 2, 2023 | Naveen Athrappully

A study that looked into the age-stratified infection fatality rate (IFR) of COVID-19 among the non-elderly population has found that the rate was extremely low among young people.

“The median IFR was 0.0003 percent at 0–19 years, 0.002 percent at 20–29 years, 0.011 percent at 30–39 years, 0.035 percent at 40–49 years, 0.123 percent at 50–59 years, and 0.506 percent at 60–69 years,” the study conducted across 29 countries stated. “At a global level, pre-vaccination IFR may have been as low as 0.03 percent and 0.07 percent for 0–59 and 0–69-year-old people, respectively.”

The study aimed to accurately estimate the IFR of COVID-19 among non-elderly populations in the absence of vaccination or prior infection.

For every additional 10 years in age, the IFR was observed to increase by roughly four times. After including data from nine more nations, the median IFR for 0–59 years came in at 0.025 to 0.032 percent and for 0–69 years was at 0.063 to 0.082 percent.

According to the study, the analysis suggests a “much lower” pre-vaccination IFR in the non-elderly population than had been suggested previously. The large differences found between nations were pegged to differences in factors like comorbidities.

Vaccination Dangers Among Youth...

A recent study that analyzed children between the ages of 5 and 17 who had received Pfizer COVID-19 shots found an elevated risk of heart inflammation among children as young as 12 years old.

Myocarditis and pericarditis met the threshold for a safety signal for children aged between 12 and 17 following the second and third doses. These heart conditions can cause long-term issues and even death.

“The signal detected for myocarditis/pericarditis is consistent with published peer-reviewed publications demonstrating an elevated risk of myocarditis/pericarditis following mRNA vaccines, especially among younger males aged 12-29 years,” the researchers said.

In an interview with Fox News back in January, MIT researcher Stephanie Seneff had said that it was “outrageous” to give COVID-19 vaccines to young people as they have a “very, very low risk” of dying from the infection.

When looking at the potential harms of these vaccines for children, they don’t make “any sense,” she added. With repeated boosters, such treatment will be “devastating” in the long term.

Parents should do “absolutely everything they can” to avoid getting their children vaccinated against COVID-19, the research scientist advised.

Vaccinating Children...

Some countries have stopped their COVID-19 vaccine programs for children. In October, the Swedish Public Health authority ceased recommending vaccination for 12- to 17-year-olds except under special circumstances. The agency acknowledged that very few healthy children have been affected seriously by the virus.

“Overall, we see that the need for care as a result of COVID-19 has been low among children and young people during the pandemic, and has also decreased since the virus variant omicron began to spread,” Soren Andersson, head of a unit at the Public Health Authority, told broadcaster SVT at the time. “In this phase of the pandemic, we do not see that there is a continued need for vaccination in this group.”

Meanwhile in the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is pushing ahead with vaccinating children, allowing emergency clearance of vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna for children as young as just six months old.

Data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows that it is the vaccinated population that made up most of the COVID-19 deaths in August.

During that month, 6,512 deaths were recorded, of which 58.6 percent were attributed to vaccinated or boosted individuals. Back in January, COVID-19 deaths among the vaccinated and boosted had only made up 41 percent of the total mortalities.

And for this, they set our nation on the path to destruction. They certainly “never let a crisis go to waste”. And if things are going smoothly, they will invent a crisis. That’s what they did in 2020. All because Trump was a threat to their power and a good for our nation. They could not let that stand.

This was never about stratification of risk re COVID. Always about Trump Removal and then Fundamental Change.

I read somewhere that in March 2020, when Fauci was promoting lock-downs, he did say Covid19 was less deadly than SARS of 20 years earlier, but we could expect death rates of 3% for the general population.

According to the report then - it turns out Fauci was OFF by something like 10X for the oldest and sickest, and 40,000X for children, who were basically unaffected by Covid19

I wonder what the death rate is for the vaccine/poison jab for this same age group? Magnitudes higher I bet.

I saw my first COVID-19 patient on January 23, 2020, still do, there are 14 in my hospital today.

It is unquestionably true that IFR has declined stunningly since the November 2020-January 2021 period. It is now very low, we had one death in November 2022 which patient acted exactly like it was November 2020, but this is now unusual.

One dose of the shots, - 145% worse mortality rate.. 600,000 excess deaths per year in the United States..

Infectious Disease ping - Covid Fatality Infection rate according to age group; includes the absence of vaccination or prior infection, across 29 countries
How badly did we need a government mandated "vaccine" ? .. and at what price ?
The data speaks for itself !

(From the report): " A study that looked into the age-stratified infection fatality rate (IFR) of COVID-19 among the non-elderly population
has found that the rate was extremely low among young people."
“The median IFR was 0.0003 percent at 0–19 years,
0.002 percent at 20–29 years,
0.011 percent at 30–39 years,
0.035 percent at 40–49 years,
0.123 percent at 50–59 years,
and 0.506 percent at 60–69 years,”
the study conducted across 29 countries stated.
“At a global level, pre-vaccination IFR may have been as low as 0.03 percent and 0.07 percent for 0–59 and 0–69-year-old people, respectively.”

About a year ago I calculated the Case Fatality Rate (CFR) — which is the percentage of Covid-19 deaths in the U.S. out of the total number of cases - as this:

“accurately estimate”....does not compute.

Interesting. Let's look at some raw numbers.

Death certificate data reported to the National Center for Health Statistics indicate that there were a total of 34,204 deaths in persons between the ages of 0 and 17 in 2020. Of these, a total of 199 were coded on individual death certificates as a "death involving COVID" (i.e., ICD-10 code U07.1).

In 2021, there were a total of 35,785 deaths in persons between the ages of 0 and 17. Of these, 609 were coded as a "death involving COVID."

So far for 2022 -- reporting typically lags by a number of weeks and so the current totals will certainly go up -- there has been reported to the NCHS a total of 33,535 deaths in persons between the ages of 0 and 17. Of these, 606 have been coded as a "death involving COVID."

Judging by these numbers, it's hard to see how the "public health" response -- including the introduction of the so-called "vaccines" -- has improved things for the 0-17 age cohort. Quite the contrary, I would say.

I was 51 when I got COVID, PRE-vax. I survived.

I just finished another round of COVID, EXACTLY 2 years later, being 53. I still survived. And I am unvaxed.

Neither time did I even tell the doctors.

That is why those that got the shots have to keep denying the very real possibility that getting the shot (and to keep getting the boosters) may be shortening their life.

Public Health officials have finally admitted that heart damage is a possible side effect of the vaccine, but they minimize it’s seriousness. People who got the shots have to wonder when they go for a run or to the gym if this will be the time they drop dead from a heart attack. So, they believe what they want to believe and defend that position vehemently. What choice do they have? I certainly understand their position. To admit otherwise would cause them to live in a constant state of anxiety wondering when death will suddenly come.
