The bulk of children who truly died of covid in Canada were likely profoundly ill and it may have been secondary in many cases (it wasn't even ruled secondary for the 14 year old). The average rate by age obscures what is going on, exaggerating the (still super small) risk of death in normal children and underestimating it in those with serious health conditions.
Recently in BC they did a chart review of people hospitalized with covid in December in one region and found a little under half were incidental.
Discussion of this topic was regarded as borderline right wing conspiracy material by a lot of people here up until recently, and that may still be the case.
Another meme going around here I notice is that huge percentages of people say they are immune compromised so the vaccine statistics don't apply to them. But that doesn't show up in the data. There's no big cohort of immune compromised 25 year olds dying of covid.

Yeah some of it probally political... or used to scare... and maybe to look good.
Its unfortunate with cover ups or fabricating true information, that there is such an attempt at masking the reality. Such as the BS that's going down in China.
I think part of the problem is that people have just forgotten or maybe are not use to the idea that folks die. This fear of death is not good.
Might be the side effects of being in a Western Bubble.
