The paper analyzed 31 seroprevalence studies in the pre-jab era, i.e. none of the subjects had the jab nor prior infection. Median infection fatality rate (IFR) for 0-59 yo was 0.034%. IFR for 0-69 yo was 0.097%.
Stratified by age, the IFR is even lower for the young demographics. Subjects aged 0-19 had an IFR of a measly 0.0003%. 20-29 year olds had an IFR of 0.002%. It's until you go past 50 yo when the IFR finally exceeds 0.1%, but it never hits anywhere close to 1%.
I will emphasize again, this is among people who had no prior immunity to the alpha variant.
