Data suggests that children are vulnerable to the delta variant of the coronavirus.

Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy on Wednesday claimed that children "don't die from COVID," but since the viral outbreak began in 2020, hundreds of children have.

Campos-Duffy, who also appears as a contributor on the network, made the comment on "The Faulkner Focus" during a discussion of the use of masks in schools.

"Does the vaccine work? ... So if the vaccines work, why are you worried about children being unmasked?" Campos-Duffy asked. Told by another guest, "I'm worried about kids under 12 who don't have the vaccine," she responded, "The kids survive COVID, they don't die from COVID. It's very, very rare."


Data collected by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Children's Hospital Association shows that since May 2020 and through Aug. 26 of this year, at least 425 children have died of COVID in the United States. The same data shows that at least 812,130 children have been hospitalized and 4.7 million overall cases of children with COVID-19 have been recorded.

The rates of infection, hospitalization, and mortality among children are much lower than among adults, but they can get COVID-19 and die, and data suggests that children are more vulnerable to the delta variant, and rates of hospitalization soar. Children's Hospital Association CEO Mark Wietecha said in a news release, "Our children's health care safety net is under unprecedented strain."................................
