Also note this bit of phrasing here...
Bold emphasis is the real highlight.
These kids were admitted to the hospitals... WITH COVID... not BECAUSE of COVID.
For all we know, these kids could have been admitted because they broke their arm, and just so happens also had COVID. They could have gone in for some other ailment and, oh, they also had COVID.
This kind of phrasing and mixing of the numbers is something the CDC has also been pulling, but when you really look into the data it's all bunk.
Technically, it's not lies --- maybe those kids were admitted and did have COVID -- but nothing in their wording signifies that they were actually admitted to the hospital because of COVID.
I hate that the media is so deceptive we have to digest everything written like a lawyer would.
I would almost be willing to bet they actually do have their lawyers comb over every statement like that to ensure that they can't be sued for misinforming (viz., disinforming) the public if people make a hazardous decision based on said report(s). Their plausible deniability would be that people got the vaccine of their own free will and that the numbers they put out regarding hospitalizations weren't lies at all.
