This is why I still mask and social distance.
That, and covid is still the number 1 killer of youth under the age of 18.
Is that true? I've never heard that claim

That is the most recent straight-from-source study I can find on the topic. Also published coincidentally right around the time governments started to refuse to collect data on Covid and declared Covid "over".
So, I'd say if we were still collecting the data, we may be able to see if the trajectory has changed, but we aren't, so we cant.
Also cant imagine that eliminating all Covid restrictions improved the figures.
So, is it true? 100% a year ago. I am inclined to believe it is still true, but I cannot say "100% that is true today."
It was not even true a year ago, actually, unless you slice the data down to only look at deaths caused by infectious or respiratory diseases which, frankly, feels like a pretty obvious outcome for 2020-2022.
That's fuckin wild, dude
