Increases in COVID‑19 are unrelated to levels of vaccination across 68 countries and 2947 counties in the United States
Vaccines currently are the primary mitigation strategy to combat COVID-19 around the world. We used COVID-19 data provided by the Our World in Data for cross-country analysis, available as of September 3, 2021. For the county-level analysis in the US, we utilized the White House COVID-19 Team data, available as of September 2, 2021. This 4 page review documents the results of this study showing no discernable relationship between percentage of population fully vaccinated and new COVID-19 cases in the last 7 days.

Deaths from COVID ‘incredibly rare’ among children
Studies find that overall risk of death or severe disease from COVID-19 is very low in kids. Of 3,105 deaths from all causes among the 12 million or so people under 18 in England between March 2020 and February 2021, [only] 25 were attributable to COVID-19 — a rate of about 2 for every million people in this age range. None had asthma or type-1 diabetes, the authors note, and about half had conditions that put them at a higher risk than healthy children of dying from any cause.

Deaths in Children and Young People in England following SARS-CoV-2 infection during the first pandemic year: a national study using linked mandatory child death reporting data
Deaths in children and young people (CYP) following SARS-CoV-2 infection are rare. Quantifying the risk of mortality is challenging because of high relative prevalence of asymptomatic and non-specific disease manifestations. Therefore, it is important to differentiate between CYP who have died of SARS-CoV-2 and those who have died of an alternative disease process but coincidentally tested positive.
Findings 3105 CYP died from all causes during the first pandemic year in England. 61 of these deaths occurred in CYP who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. 25 CYP died of SARS-CoV-2 infection; 22 from acute infection and three from PIMS-TS. 99·995% of CYP with a positive SARS-CoV-2 test survived. The 25 CYP who died of SARS-CoV-2 equates to a mortality rate of 2/million for the 12,023,568 CYP living in England.
Interpretation SARS-CoV-2 is very rarely fatal in CYP, even among those with underlying comorbidities. These findings are important to guide families, clinicians and policy makers about future shielding and vaccination.

Oregon State Senate Formal Federal Grand Jury Petition
Oregon State Senators file a formal petition to convene a federal grand jury. Document states concerns regarding the high number of vaccine injuries and deaths, Vaccine ineffectiveness, different standards of data collection for vaccinated and unvaccinated, failure of COVID RT-PCR tests, and other concerns.
The cumulative effect of these deficiencies results in the inability to properly direct public policy, eroding the public trust and prolonging the existing state of emergency.

The Kids Are Alright Why now is the time to rethink COVID safety protocols for children — and everyone else.
according to the CDC, among children the mortality risk from COVID-19 is actually lower than from the flu. according to one, much-cited paper, the infection fatality rate for those aged 5 to 9 is less than 0.001 percent. It suggests that a child of that age, even sick, faces roughly one-ten-thousandth the mortality risk of an 85-year-old.

FDA NEWS RELEASE Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update
FDA is announcing revisions to the patient and provider fact sheets for the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines regarding the suggested increased risks of myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) and pericarditis (inflammation of the tissue surrounding the heart) following vaccination. For each vaccine, the Fact Sheet for Healthcare Providers Administering Vaccine (Vaccination Providers) has been revised to include a warning about myocarditis and pericarditis and the Fact Sheet for Recipients and Caregivers has been revised to include information about myocarditis and pericarditis. This update follows an extensive review of information and the discussion by CDC’s Advisory Committee

False Positives in COVID-19 Test Are Alarming, What Causes It?
False positives are test results that inaccurately indicate that a particular condition is present when it does not. In testing for COVID-19, RT-PCR tests are considered to be the gold standard in detecting SARS-CoV-2 RNA.
