But it's the truth. Something that has just a 2% incidence should not dictate 98% of the treatments. Compromising the innate immunity of the 98% is more disgusting!

This isn't the same argument, and I would agree if it was true, but you're distorting numbers as the actual prevalence estimations lie between 2 and 14%[1].

I have 3 kids, all grown up and healthy. They all slept perfectly well with fever, so, there's no such thing as a febrile insomniac kid. High fever has a potent detox element as you sweat out the toxic metabolites. I'm tired of parents who overprotect their children while harming them this way - there are so many studies - from overdrugging kids (thank God that most anti-cough drugs are now off the shelves), to forcing them to wear helmets, no go alone, etc.

Please stop believing your sample of 3 kids is representative of the entire population. You were lucky to have kids who sleep well and that's good for you, but that doesn't make other parents lazy or irresponsible.

> I'm tired of parents who overprotect their children

You know what's even more tiring? Parents who judge other parents while not knowing anything about kids in general just because they happened to be lucky on one particular topic. You won't be lucky all the time though.

> to forcing them to wear helmets

I hope you won't regret saying that ever in your life, but being anti-helmet really is as idiotic as being an antivaxxer.

The vast majority of these seizures are benign. If your child had a febrile seizure, then there's a 30% chance of having it again, so, then you have some excuse to keep their fever under control (hopefully not with Tylenol as there are other antipyretics, too). Here's a nice summary by Gemini: Key Takeaways - No Lasting Damage: Simple febrile seizures do not cause long-term brain damage, intellectual impairment, or l…

Ah, a genius that need an artificial brain to overcome its lack of literacy and is somehow proud of that.

How surprising given the rest of the conversation …

It's not a brain, its a statistical summarizer, but based on the result, it seems to work better than your brain, obviously!

In my childhood, when the movie BMX Bandits (1983) [0] was super popular, helmets and any kind of protection did not exist. We did all kinds of crazy stunts, influenced by the movie. I don't recall any harmed kid among tens if not hundreds. Scaped knees and elbows - sure, but that's all!

Literally no kids of a mid-size town in Bulgaria had no head injury riding a bike w/o helmet since I was kid. Not sure where you got the two or a dozen. In fact, a dozen is a fairly good sample size in terms of medical studies, sometimes done with conclusions done with smaller cohorts. In fact, the first COVID-19 booster by Pfizer was only tested on mice, not on a single person even, yet it was administered to billions of people.

Helmets and bike gear are in industry and American industries have powerful lobbies.

This is BS, any kid could have had one and you simply wouldn't have known it, especially as a kid. Even if some kid died, your parents would likely have been aware of that, but kids around likely wouldn't have, unless they were in the same class or otherwise knew the victim personally. (Simple exercise, check how many child around you do you remember dying when you were a kid, and then check the mortality rate in your country for this age class. You'll realize that statistically during the time you were at school, a bunch of kids in your neighborhood actually died of random causes and you never knew about that).

> In fact, the first COVID-19 booster by Pfizer was only tested on mice, not on a single person even, yet it was administered to billions of people.

Again, this is complete nonsense. There were indeed a few rounds of human trial before mainstream use … That's infowars-level of antivax BS.

> Helmets and bike gear are in industry and American industries have powerful lobbies.

Of course, what's an online discussion without the mandatory conspiracy theory … I appreciate the originality though, as the “big helmet” lobby isn't something I had encountered before. I see you prefer tinfoil hats to bike helmets …

You assume and don't research. There are studies that show that the more your trust kids to be on their own, the lesser the injuries. Yes, the first Pfizer booster was never tested on humans - it's a known fact!
