i hate the media and blame them for the coronavirus
Headlines are headlines. I looked up that NBC article.BurtReynolds wrote:
Offit who has been making vaccines for over 30 years couldn't predict it would go that fast. How many lies did Trump tell in the last 4 years? 2000+? He got lucky on one, so we're supposed to believe he's a miracle worker?“I think it’s possible you could see a vaccine in people’s arms next year — by the middle or end of next year. But this is unprecedented, so it’s hard to predict,” said Dr. Paul Offit, a professor at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and the director of the Vaccine Education Center at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
Offit spent 26 years developing a vaccine for rotavirus, a common and dangerous childhood gastrointestinal illness, before it was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 2006. He said vaccine development typically takes decades, but that efforts to counter COVID-19 are being fast-tracked by scientists, drug companies and nations — rallied by the World Health Organization — to meet the threat posed by the coronavirus, which has killed hundreds of thousands and decimated economies across the globe.

Him being right about that is the same as that dumb fuck Republican bringing a snowball into Congress in May as proof that climate warming is a hoax.

I guess you're technically right, but judging journalism by headlines is like judging RM by the user avatars and ranks. You'll get an accurate portrayal of Sarge and no one else.

Child deaths are very very low, so I guess my reaction to that meme would be that the baby with covid would look pretty normal.
As of Dec 7 children were 0.00%-0.23% of all COVID-19 deaths, and 15 states reported zero child deaths.
Kind of seems like your meme is just pointless fear mongering stickbot
