Covid-19: A Reality/Fact Check

On April 15, 2025, 1 month after Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Secretary of Health and Human Services announced that the CDC would no longer be recommending COVID vaccines for healthy children and pregnant women, the CDC presented the following data to the advisory committee on immunization practices, an independent group of experts which advises that the CDC vaccines. During the past year:

About 165,000 people were hospitalized with COVID-19 and 40,000 died

About 4.3% of COVID hospitalizations were children

About 150 children died from COVID. Most were less than 4 years old

About 50% of children less than 4 years old who were hospitalized or died from COVID were otherwise healthy.

About 1 in 5 children who were hospitalized with COVID were admitted to the intensive care unit.

More than 90% of children hospitalized or died from COVID were not immunized

More children died from COVID than died from influenza

A disproportionate number of children who died from COVID were less than 6 months old. The only way these children could have been proteted would have been if their mother had been vaccinated during pregnancy (no longer recommended by HHS)

We need to continue to listen to science, not opinon or misinformation.
