Reply to Did the 2009 H1N1 outbreak in the US increase the incidence of type 1 diabetes in adolescents? by legendary_kazoo
H1N1 affected like what, 15% of the population? And maybe 15% ish of the population were adolescents?
So 2.25% of the population were potentially kids affected with H1N1?
And 1% of the US has diabetes type 1?
So... the number of diabetic youth who may have been exposed to H1N1 is like 0.0225%?
I highly doubt, just from those numbers alone, that an association between H1N1, youth, and diabetes... would have any tangible, noticeable, or measureable effect in a truly controlled study. Literally even a 10% increase could be written off as an effect of many different factors other than H1N1.
Anyways. The idea of an association between H1N1 and diabetes has already been disproven. Don't fall down any anti vacc rabbitholes, this appears adjacent to that stuff.
Edit: reduced percent of population with diabetes, to refine from type 1 and 2, to just type 1.

TBF, baby boomers is anyone born in an 18 year period starting in 1946. So, if presidents are often in the age range of 45-70, which is pretty much the bell curve of presidential age distribution... 22/30 seems .... expected. I mean, you jave to be 35 to be president, and the presidents who were younger than 45 were extreme outliers.
In 1992, the first baby boomer is turning 46. In 2035, the last baby boomer will turn 71.
In 2000, the age range of boomers was everyone between 36 and 54 years old.
In 2004, the age range of boomers was everyone between 40 and 58 years old.
In 2008, the age range of boomers was everyone between 44 and 62 years old.
In 2012, the age range of boomers was everyone between 48 and 66 years old.
In 20q6, the age range of boomers i everyone between 52 and 70 years old.
We just live in the time where baby boomers are laregly comprised of ages rangin from 45 to 75. When thay age range is the typical presidential age range, it should be no surprise.
