Although Cohen insists that children are at high risk of serious illness, the mean Infection Fatality Rate of COVID for people under 20 years old is 0.0003%, and hospitals have grossly inflated the reported number of children with severe COVID. One paper found that hospital records overcounted the number of pediatric COVID hospitalizations by at least 40 percent.

The CDC’s recommendation that everyone aged 6 months and older get another booster is simply not scientifically or medically sound. The agency received but did not respond to Public’s requests for comment about its misrepresentation of myocarditis risks.

What’s more, a mounting body of evidence shows that the CDC and the White House chose to ignore and cover up evidence of a significant myocarditis safety signal in early 2021, putting young people at risk of serious adverse events. How did this happen?
