CNN just had a story/report about the increasing threat of COVID to children right now. The truth/stats completely contradict that!!!
They want viewers to think that since the government has not authorized coverage of the COVID vaccine for the children of poor families yet that we are vulnerable for another COVID epidemic because COVID cases are rising again(according to them).
WRONG on that threat! That was extremely dishonest reporting.

++++++++++++
No significant signs of a MAJOR epidemic! Seasonally, there is typically an increase at this time of year.
Here's that graph from the first page again. Please note the incredible seasonality. This CDC graph starts in October because that STARTS the flu/COVID/EVERYTHING season. Incidence/reports ALWAYS go up and ALWAYS peak in January, then plunge lower on the graph below.
