Risk:Benefit Data by Time of Jab Approval for Kids Under Age 12
Baseline COVID risk vs. Potential Harm from COVID Jabs
By the time that COVID jabs were approved in the USA for kids under age 12 (October 2021), strong safety signals existed, yet no strong danger signal for COVID did — in those under age 15.
When the approval panel approved the jabs for young kids, here is what was known regarding weekly percent excess death in kids for 83 weeks of COVID, versus non-elderly for 41 weeks of COVID, and another 42 weeks of COVID + COVID jabs:

In cell I22, you can see that the 83-week average excess death in kids was negative, so that no signal of harm from COVID existed for them (they were dying less than usual, not more than usual).
But in cells I11 and K11 you can see that average weekly percent excess death in those under age 65 rose by 50% after the COVID jabs rolled out — indicating that COVID jabs were leading to even higher numbers of excess deaths than COVID, alone, did.
It is a mystery why the jab got approved for kids under 12, because there were enough data by then to advise against it. When officials arrive at decisions that appear counter-productive in as strong a light as COVID jabs do, it calls into question their motivations, and whether there are other actors influencing them.
