The fact is that there is considerable speculation, and I admit it IS speculation so far, that certain of the newer virus variants do have more of predilection to infecting younger people and making them sicker.

Now urban political and the rest who are in denial that this virus may be evolving in ways they aren't happy to see should probably start looking at research and facts rather than inside their own stubborn heads. |
^ Nothing you are posting suggests anything that even remotely hints that new variants of the COVID are suddenly taking a "chill pill" on the 65 and older crowd and are now becoming more deadly for younger people.
It's not the case, and you will never find such evidence. In your own words, you are "speculating", and your speculation is way off.
What is happening is:
1. The elderly are isolating themselves more (here and in Brazil) and thus spreading and getting the virus less
2. The elderly are getting far more vaccine than younger people
3. Brazil's population skews young
4. The variants spread more rapidly, and because of #1-3 above, you are seeing a higher proportion of hospitalized and dying people being younger.
This is so easy to comprehend, give me a break, Pedestrian.... Nothing to see here, lets move on....
