Casualties of reopening schools: Children dying from COVID-19
www.wsws.org
Amid a surge of COVID-19 cases throughout the United States, hundreds of children have lost their lives to the disease.

Can't wait for the narrative to be that "it was only a few kids" and not "perhaps we shouldn't have abruptly reopened schools"

    I am not an expert but they did fast-track the initial thing without any qualms no? Why would they want to protect their bureaucracy now?

      the emergency authorization is actually very similar to the regular authorization in terms of testing, the only real difference is production and testing occur at the same time

      I can imagine they saw what happened with the Johnson & Johnson vaccine and didn't want the bad pr from something like that happening with kids.

      Yeah, it's inconsistent, but I don't think there is any central decision making going on anywhere in the US when it comes to dealing with covid. Different people in different places not working together making decisions.
