Mike Hughes, Children should have been included from the beginning of the clinical trials. Then they would be getting inoculated. The experimenting was in arriving at the process to develop the vaccine. No experimenting is going on now.
The Mortality rate in the US from COVID,overall is .0258. Your use of extra zeros makes you a Fox News fool. Learn math. For every 100 that test positive, 2.58 die. It was much higher.
