Honestly not sure what you're arguing here. Do you think that under 5s are causing over 75 infections? There are many reasons why this graph does not necessarily fit that explanation!

Yes, see this and my other linked referenced. It seems that people who are in households with <5s are infected with diseases brought home by the <5s. What is your alternative explanation?
Linking multiple data sources that suggests child-to-parent disease spread is somehow unscientific to you? This is pretty normal discourse. If you have a ref showing parents don’t suffer higher disease burden than child free people I’d love to read it!
This graph doesn't necessarily show anything of the sort. I agree that some cases undoubtedly pass between children and their parents, but imo for COVID-19 the impact of this at this point in time is quite small at a population level.
This seems to show that a lot of disease transfer is happening between <5s and parents. Not sure why it would differ for COVID. I would expect those without kids have a lower chance of illness across the board.
Not necessarily! It's also not necessarily transferable to COVID-19 which tends to be more prevalent than some other common respiratory infections. Also, hard to connect this to infections rather than symptomatic cases. Etc.

@gidmk.bsky.social appears to be saying “this is the data and what is the best theory to explain what this data means?”
Have you considered how your approach is problematic?

Good luck with whatever that is doing for you or where it takes you (and ignoring data and analysis that doesn’t support your desired conclusion).

Here’s another paper for you showing higher illness burden in households with children: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4583580/
If you think this is some sort of process where you cite a study and then I cite a study, you’re missing the point.
And you’re clearly missing the point Gideon’s article makes as well.
Good luck though with whatever *your* point is..
