claim: Children who take a COVID-19 vaccine 52 times more likely to suffer an early death.
evidence: Data does not support this claim. Deaths of children after vaccination are too rare to inform reliable estimates. A temporary increase is possible because children with significant pre-existing health problems received vaccines before their peers. A website claimed that the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine "increases children’s risk of death by 5100% according to the Office for National Statistics". [...] Younger children already dealing with significant health problems, and thus already at greater risk of an early death, were prioritised for vaccination and were therefore over-represented in this sample, when compared with the general population.
