ANSWERED: Is COVID-19 Harmful to Children?
A Compilation of Peer-Reviewed Medical Research
April 30, 2025
Good day. If you are reading this, you have likely been sent this link because you were misled into believing that COVID-19 is a harmless, mild “cold” for children. Regardless of who is responsible for feeding you misinformation about this horrible SARS-CoV-2 virus, you deserve accurate and reliable information about a disease that has already killed thousands of American children and disabled countless more.
A growing mountain of evidence, since 2020, has wildly disproven claims about COVID-19 being harmless in kids. New research now shows that Long COVID is common and has surpassed asthma as the leading chronic illness in children after just a few years of mass, repeated infections. We here at the Pandemic Accountability Index have compiled and organized this peer-reviewed medical research as a handy guide to help correct your misconceptions. We hope that this has better informed your perspective, and that you pass this guide along to others.
This resource will be updated regularly as the situation continues to develop.
