But the entire population has been exposed to Covid and 100 children haven’t died (reported as 300 likely to die on here earlier this month).I'm sure this is tedious but I'll repeat that exposing the entire population to COVID is projected to kill over 100 children. Which sounds pretty harmful to me. And that's without going into the potential long term effects of COVID on children, hospitalisations, etc.
Prolonging the pandemic unnecessarily by not maximising the numbers vaccinated will mean more disruption to the health service, causing more impacts like this, not less.
Between March 2020 and Feb 2021, 3105 under 18’s died. Twenty five of those under 18‘s died within 28 days of a positive PCR test. Half of those deaths were in individuals with an underlying complex disability with high health-care needs, such as tube feeding or assistance with breathing. Sadly, their demise might have been hastened but was always likely following any viral disease.

If the entire population had been exposed to it the entire population would have had it. in medical terms exposed == have had it.
fully known ( tested ) cases we're at 6.5m out of 66m population.

No they wouldn’t.
your misunderstanding the "exposed" term being used.
not everyone has been exposed to the virus, as in not everyone's immune system has had the virus in there system to fight it off.

My meaning was grunge's. Apologies for any confusion.
Thank you for the infoI work for the NHS and we have been informed that boosters will be given to us in September. Most of us had our second jabs in March/april
