OK, we watched so you don’t have to. If you have the stomach, skip ahead to the 4:00 mark where “The View” co-host Sunny Hostin talks about vaccinating children. She had her 15-year-old vaccinated as soon as she was able because she doesn’t want her child to be one of the “one percent” who end up intubated and dying of COVID-19.
BIDEN, GOVERNORS CLASH OVER MASK MANDATES: Though the White House still follows CDC guidance on children wearing masks in school, Democratic governors of Connecticut, New Jersey, Delaware and Oregon plan to lift state mask mandates — #TheView co-hosts and @Alyssafarah weigh in. pic.twitter.com/SpNzZyH6ZI

As we all know, 72 percent of statistics are made up on the spot, so we’re imagining Hostin just pulled that one percent number out of thin air. Fox News caught the segment, though, and reported that “according to the CDC there have been 770 deaths from the coronavirus in children between the ages of 0 to 17 years, through the end of January,” making the death rate approximately 0.008 percent.
‘The View’ host suggests 1 percent of younger Americans will die of they get COVID … stats from CDC show 770 coronavirus deaths out of nearly 10 million cases from those age 0-17, which is 0.008 percent (about 1 in 12,500). https://t.co/gmg0PE0nCS

Numbers matter. If 1 percent of people under the age of 17 who got COVID had died of it, there would be 100,000 more deaths alone from that age group in this country. It would greatly change the calculus of mitigation measures in schools.

The View is a key vector of misinformation. It’s a well known fact. pic.twitter.com/Tg9Ah13NHN

She was only off by a magnitude of 120… that’s pretty good for The View.

Who is looking to Sunny Hostin for facts?!

This level of hysterics probably should be censored or at least shouldn’t be given a television show…

Is the view going to get canceled for spreading misinformation?

Is Twitter going to make them pull down the segment?
They drastically overstate everything

More teenagers will die while trying to update their Snapchat or Instagram at highway speed, than will die from COVID over the course of the entire pandemic. (Or by gunfire, if within the city limits of Chicago or Baltimore.)

This is why teachers were writing their own obituaries when threatened with returning to a classroom full of children.
Seems like we found the source of our misinformation problem.

Let’s not forget that those 770 deaths are merely correlations.
— Jared Johnson (@s1othlovechunk) February 8, 2022
Correction: those figures are for children who died WITH Covid and not necessarily OF Covid. The number is far less than 770.

The 5 in Iowa that died all had serious life threatening issues including cancer. No healthy children have died.
— Rondalee Iowa (@Maga4Justice) February 8, 2022
Drop that age bracket to 0-13, and the number falls to a statistical ZERO — most deaths being attributable to pre-existing, chronic illness.
— Chris (@m200pilot) February 8, 2022
But people just don’t understand the agony of parents of kids under 5 who can’t get the vaccine yet. Pfizer is hoping it will be soon that the vaccine will be approved for 6-month-olds.
