Children's Death Rate

Children's Death Rate

Do we need vaccines to reduce the death rate of children? But first, do you even know what the death rate is?

* * *
Adakah kita perlukan vaksin untuk turunkan kadar kematian kanak2? Tahukah anda apa kadar kematian kanak2 terlebih dahulu?

There are 9.2 million children in our country. (Children means aged 0-17.) Of these:
3.1 million are adolescents (aged 12-17), and
6.1 million are younger children (aged 0-11).

Children make up 28% of the population, but they make up only 89 deaths out of 26,060 deaths for this period, which is 0.34%. That's 1/3 of 1%. That is wayyy less than their market share. And we need to jab 9.2 million children to reduce 0.34% of deaths? Reduce to what, 0.3%?

(Note: On these charts, I wrote "Foetuses excluded". This was because their age was -1. I have since learned that this means the age is missing, not because they are foetuses, but I'm too lazy to change the charts.)

(Deaths of vaccinated children will be covered in another graph later.)

Terdapat 9.2 juta orang kanak-kanak di negara kita. (Kanak-kanak bermaksud umur 0-17 tahun.)

Daripada jumlah ini:
3.1 juta adalah remaja (12-17 tahun), dan
6.1 juta adalah kanak-kanak (0-11 tahun).

Kanak-kanak merupakan 28% daripada penduduk negara ini, tetapi mereka hanya menyumbang 89 kematian daripada 26,060 di dalam tempoh ini, iaitu 0.34%. Ini adalah hanya1/3 daripada 1 peratus. Jauh kurang daripada peratus populasi mereka. Adakah kita perlu cucuk 9.2 juta kanak-kanak untuk mengurangkan 0.34% kematian? Kurangkan kepada apa, 0.3%?

82% of children who passed away have another disease. The rate remains the same before and after the start of vaccination. (After the start of vaccination, the % of Delta cases rose sharply.)

82% kanak2 yg meninggal ada penyakit lain. Kadar ini tetap sama sebelum dan selepas bermulanya vaksinasi. (Selepas bermulanya vaksinasi, % kes Delta naik mendadak.)

Take care of your children's health. Having another disease contributes the greatest risk of death. The greatest co-morbidity for children is asthma.

Jaga kesihatan anak anda. Penyakit kronik adalah risiko terbesar untuk kematian. Komorbiditi yg paling biasa ialah asma.

How many % of patients died? The percentage is extremely low--only 0.017% to 0.04%. To make that easier to read, we'll move the decimal and make it per 100,000 (instead of per 100). So we see here that although the number of deaths increased 5-10x, the rate of death this year is even lower than last year.

Berapakah peratus pesakit yg meninggal? Peratus ini sangat rendah--hanya 0.017% ke 0.04%. Untuk lebih senang baca, kita pindahkan titik perpuluhan supaya ia menjadi per 100,000 (daripada per 100). Walaupun angka kematian naik 5-10x ganda, kadar kematian tahun ini adalah lebih rendah daripada kadar kematian tahun lepas.

Is that rate high or low? Let's compare it with other age groups. It is extremely low. It is just a blip. Remember that this is a rate, so it is a % of each group who died. It is not affected by what happens in other groups, or by the number of cases as this is a percentage). So children really do have extremely low rates of death compared to adults and seniors.

Adakah kadar ini tinggi atau rendah? Mari kita bandingkan dengan kumpulan umur yang lain. Kadar kematian kanak2 adalah amat rendah. Ingat bahawa ini adalah kadar, jadi ia adalah % kematian daripada kumpulan masing2. Ia tidak dipengaruhi oleh apa yg berlaku di dalam kumpulan lain atau jumlah kes (ini adalah peratus). Kanak-kanak benar-benar mempunyai kadar kematian yang tersangat rendah.

Here is a chart showing the same thing. This a percentage of people who died in each age group. As expected, older people have difficulty fighting this disease. After vaccination started, the death rate for seniors increased by 75%. The death rate of adults increased the most, more than 5-fold! However, the rate of death for children actually decreased. Children have natural immunity and are able to beat this virus easily, even Delta.

In deciding whether to vaccinate, you must weigh the risk of death from the disease vs. the risk of death from the vaxine. Unfortunately, the data for Malaysia is not available, so look at data from other countries before you make your decision.

Carta ini menunjukkan angka tadi. Ini adalah peratus pesakit yg mati di dalam setiap kumpulan. Seperti yang dijangka, orang tua paling sukar melawan penyakit ini. Selepas vaksinasi bermula, kadar kematian orang tua meningkat sebanyak 75%. Kadar kematian orang dewasa meningkat paling banyak, lebih daripada 5x ganda! Tetapi, kadar kematian kanak-kanak menurun. Kanak2 mempunyai imuniti semulajadi dan mampu melawan virus ini dengan mudah, termasuk Delta.

Untuk membuat keputusan samada nak cucuk, kamu perlu menimbang risiko kematian akibat penyakit berbanding risiko kematian akibat beksin. Data untuk Malaysia tak ada, jadi lihatlah data dari negara lain sebelum membuat keputusan.
