When this story was on the local news, they interviewed a local doctor. He said this is very rare.
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.,
The more you isolate and guard kids from viruses, the more viruses will sicken them. You need to do to the opposite, let your kids socialize, play, and get sick. Because being sick is a healthy part of life.
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.
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.
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!
