This week it published a piece on the benefits to infants from vaccination during pregnancy, reported in a study published in NEJM on June 22nd (with a linked editorial about how vaccination during pregnancy is "two for the price of one"). In the introduction, the study authors make the following claim: "Infants younger than six months of age are at high risk for complications of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)."
This came as a surprise, so I checked the source they cite in support of this statement. In short, the source tells us nothing about risk of hospitalisation from contracting COVID-19. All it tells us is the number of hospitalised infants over time per 100,000 in the population, which shows that early January this year, during a surge of Omicron infections, there was of course also a spike in infant hospitalisations; if we look at the general trends we see this in all age-groups. This has nothing to do with the hospitalisation risk of infection at all.
Comment: This is typical of British state 'conservatism' - a cruel mix of accurately reporting social ills, but always leaving out the government's role in creating successive generations of autistic or otherwise damaged people. The lockdowns had an atrocious effect on current young generations, certainly, and it was a condensed form of what government has been causing for decades: dependence on government and thus lack of proper human development.
