"COVID-19 Vaccination Gaps and Mistakes: Impact on Children and Vulnerable Populations"

A study published in The Lancet suggests that the Covid-19 vaccination rollout for children aged 5-15 may have led to more hospitalizations, with the estimated reduction in hospitalizations likely limited to those in a clinical risk group. The study indicates that the risk-benefit ratio does not justify the vaccination rollout to healthy children in this age group, and even for those in a clinical risk group, the benefit-risk ratio is marginal at best. The data suggests that the policy decision to vaccinate all children over the age of 5 may have been a mistake, potentially leading to more, rather than less, hospitalizations.
