Now, define "a case" of COVID-19. Answer----a positive test. So more importantly, how many children are in the ICU and how many have died???? Last numbers I saw (yesterday) was that over 800,000 Americans died of?(with?) COVID and 779 were children. That's less than 0.1%. And the reason that most weren't vaccinated was that children who were vaccinated and then had a breakthrough case had very mild symptoms, almost indistinguishable from a cold. Also, note that vaccine approval for children 5-11 came fairly late in the game.
