Now that we are a year and a half into the pandemic and deaths in the U.S. are trending downward â especially with almost 38% of the total U.S. population fully vaccinated â some sense of normalcy has returned to many of us. In particular, since the FDA has approved the Pfizer vaccine for children 12 and up and weâre on track to have safe and effective COVID vaccines for children 6 months and older by the end of the year.
But in Brazil, COVID deaths are now at their highest. Though all the evidence points to COVID rarely killing young children, the numbers of very young kids dying of COVID are much higher in Brazil than they are in the U.S. Itâs tragic, and the experts arenât sure why â although the failed response by the right-wing government is thought to be responsible for over 360,000 preventable deaths.
COVID-19 is ravaging Brazil, and, in a disturbing new wrinkle that experts are working to understand, it appears to be killing babies and small children at an unusually high rate.
