Chicken pox lives in your nerves... It returns as Shingles...

Or, were you using chicken pox as and example of that?

As part of the agreement, the U.S. government would receive 100 million doses after the successful manufacturing of the vaccine and its approval by the FDA."

Exactly. That was to PURCHASE PRODUCT.

It was not to fund research.

The research was done before and halted over and over again.....so maybe...

Here’s how business works because you seem not to know.

————————OWS——
Research………..no
Production ……..yes
Distribution………yes
Sales…………………yes

I gave you an article from NPR and Newsweek that stated the above. None are so blind as those who would not see.

Very true but their parents can. Why don't these people who are refusing the vaccine do the right thing for their children?

Who says they aren't? Do you have information that parents of school age children are NOT getting vaccinated?

I was referring to those folks who are anti-vaxxers that have children; those folks who refuse the vaccine because of fear that have children; those folks who are vaccine hesitant that have children; those folks who refuse the vaccine and and not are protecting others children. I know they are out there and so do you. It is the younger folks refusing the vaccine.....you know the folks with kids.

You love bringing up “the children”. But do you have any idea how infinitesimal the impact of Covid has been on “the children”?
Since the start of Covid, just over 400 children 0-18 have died from Covid. In that same timeframe, more than 70,000 children 0-18 have died from other causes…

The operative words (and I am sure you are aware since you included it) are "has been". DELTA seems to find children much tastier.

The statistics I provided were through the end of July. If you would like to provide statistical data that supports your claim, let’s see it.
Actual deaths, not fear mongering news reports designed to increase viewership or readers…

So, a whole week or two since DELTA surge began. Okay.

I assume you understand exponential growth?

Delta has been the predominant strain of Covid in the US for over a month!!

It means over a PERIOD OF TIME. No quite sure a period of time has occurred unless you are talking about hours.

Actually, I have brought up children in my discussions a few times and mostly to say that kids mostly are not effected by Covid. If your numbers are correct, 400 is a small number considering the total number of deaths. Children can, however, spread the disease to others very efficiently if they are infected. Who know how many asymptomatic kids are out there? Anyone? Anyone?
