Of course it’s rare. Healthy kids don’t get very sick from RSV. Malnourished kids (breast feed your kids), kids with poor immune systems due to hypochondriac parents social distancing them for 2 years are the kids getting tougher symptoms.

Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)
This is the photomicrographic detection of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) using indirect immunofluorescence technique.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infects the lungs and breathing passages, and, in the United States, nearly all children have been infected with RSV by age two. In healthy people, symptoms of RSV infection are usually mild and resolve within a week. However, RSV can cause serious illness or death in vulnerable individuals, including premature and very young infants, children with chronic lung disease or congenital heart disease, and people who are over age 65. In the U.S.,

During outbreaks of RSV, parents with infants under six months of age should take precautions.

With all the vaccines we stab them with and mothers not breast feeding, more than when I was a baby.

RSV is just another opportunity for them to try and make money off a vaccine.

That’s good advice come but it will be hard to follow given the drumbeat of demands that “something be done” about it. That’s basically what happened with the original Covid, the Delta variant, and Omicron. Each was headlines then hysteria.

How does anyone make money off of a vaccine that does not exist?

It exists! Recruiting for clinical trials already: https://vanir.researchstudytrial.com...RoCgMMQAvD_BwE

There are at least a half dozen companies working on a RSV vaccine and Moderna is one.

It's only an issue because of the surge in cases overrunning medical facilities. Hopefully the number of cases will peak and decline rapidly.

For those of you worried about RSV and your newborns, breastfeed! That baby formula is junk.

Quote:
Breastfeeding for 6 months or longer was significantly associated with a reduced risk of LRTI up to 4 years of age (aOR: 0.71; 95% CI: 0.51–0.98). Similar ORs for LRTI were found with breastfeeding for less than 3 months and 3–6 months. Although in the same direction, weaker ORs were found for URTI and breastfeeding duration. The same trend was found for partial and predominant breastfeeding until 4 months and LRTI and URTI.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5322970/

LRTI = lower tract respiratory infection = bronchitis or pneumonia. URTI = upper tract respiratory infection = Rhinorrhea or Pharyngitis

Every child gets RSV before the age of 2. Only a tiny tiny minority of very young newborns suffer problems.

Nutrition is and always will beat any vaccine that man can produce. The RSV vaccines from the 60s failed and made kids sicker, though they’re trying again!
