The bureaucrats at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are not as useless as they seem. They have managed to retroactively prevent 24% of pediatric Covid deaths. Regrettably, the deaths still occurred — but they were no longer caused by Covid.

Via Daily Caller:

On Tuesday, the agency was reporting on its COVID Data Tracker that 1,755 Americans under age 18 had died from the virus since the pandemic began in spring 2020. Now, it is reporting 1,341 deaths in that category.

The CDC blames a “coding logic error.”

The real number is lower still:

According to the CDC’s weekly provisional data, only 921 children have died for reasons “involving COVID-19,” an even lower number than the official data tracker now presents.

Even the CDC admits that children comprise <0.1% of Covid deaths. Yet the faulty stats it excretes are seized upon to force children to take unnecessary vaccines with unknowable long-term effects. As noted at Epoch Times,

[T]he statistics are often cited by doctors and others when pushing for COVID-19 vaccination, including figures who believe virtually all children should be vaccinated. Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the CDC’s director, cited the tracker’s death total in November 2021 while pushing for an expert panel to advise her agency to recommend vaccination for all children 5- to 11-years-old.

Under liberal rule, health policy has become so hyperpoliticized that no government statistics can be taken at face value.
