How many children have actually died of Covid?
The "dying with" vs. "dying of" investigation is becoming clearer
Our colleague @AWokeZombie has catalogued the deaths attributed to Covid among children. She masterfully illustrates why the grunt number of pediatric mortality for the disease is not what necessarily what it seems.
Each Covid death below indicates a serious overcounting of Covid-related pediatric deaths.
Newborn affected by a maternal infection and parasitic disease. 10 deaths, all in newborns. Counted as Covid

1 death per code, ages 10 through 13. diabetes, leukemia, foreign body entering through the eye, epilepsy, accidents, drowning, Patau syndrome. 27 deaths total. All counted as Covid
In total, 169 of the 632 listed deaths in kids 17 or under likely have NOTHING to do with covid, but are counted as a covid death. Imagine if we had access to audit the other 463?
Sadly, children have died from covid. But it's rare, and it’s rarer than we're being led to believe.
Imagine if we could audit all 801K deaths in the US. It is VERY reasonable to assume we would see similar statistics.
When you incentivize an Illness by laying out lump sums to hospitals, this is the end result. In the end, hospitals and providers are not benevolent, they are out to make money. They are incentivized to call anything covid, just as they are incentivized to use certain pharmaceuticals and vaccines.
