In 2021, the New England Journal of Medicine published a study of all 1.9 million Swedish children who were 1 to 16 years of age and attended school in the spring of 2020 while (1) masks were not required, (2) masks were "rarely used," and (3) Covid-19 vaccines were not available. The study found that "no child with Covid-19 died" and "15 children with Covid-19" were admitted to an ICU, including those admitted for reasons that had nothing to do with C-19 (like cancer and accidents). The study also found that 1 out of every 5,000 teachers were admitted to an ICU with C-19, a rate half that of other professions. The CDC ignored this study and dozens more with similar results when recommending that children over the age of two be masked.
