He is supporting the idea that the calls by Democrats to shut down the economy under Trump and reopen it under Biden were based on science and a legitimate concern for public health rather than politics and economic figures to use as talking points for the upcoming elections.
He is also supporting the idea that 1-3 flu deaths in children is normal and shows how we are doing a good job rather than using bad data since COVID-19.
From the 2004-2005 season to the 2019-2020 season, flu-related deaths in children reported to CDC during regular flu seasons have ranged from 37 to 199 deaths. (During the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, 358 pediatric flu-related deaths were reported to CDC from April 2009 to September 2010.)...it is likely that not all deaths are captured and that the number of actual deaths is higher...During 2019-2020, for example, 199 deaths in children were reported to CDC but statistical modeling suggests approximately 434 deaths may have occurred.
There is actually quite a lot going on here.
