This is exactly the kind of false information the YouTube ban is about. You're proving how we need it.

As we can see, the risk is clearly minimal if you're young, and we're not even controling for comorbidities.


Death is not the only risk from this disease.

Young people are at risk of getting long covid, for example. https://www.mattbell.us/delta-and-long-covid/


Also, people who have had ICU care may get life-changing injuries from the care itself.

It's worth noting that with delta and unvaccinated younger cogorts, we can see hiw the relative risk of ending up in ICU increases for younger cohorts.

Sweden has good register web page for this. Choose fates after July 2021 to see how the distribution of cases moves to the left, younger cohorts.
