A covid 'vaccine' was available to 16 years old in Canada as early as December 2020. The questionnaire (Appendix 1) only asks about "routine immunizations;" thus, there can be no subanalysis for covid-'vaccinated' children. This is a major pitfall of the study, especially as data shows lymphocyte reduction post-covid 'vaccination.'1 Lymphopenia is an independent predictor of MIS-C.2
