The Deniers told us COVID doesn't hurt Children

I never pushed a "children should not be allowed to go to school narrative". I pushed that proper public health guidelines to allow children to go safely to school should be followed. This includes masks, social distancing, vaccinations, improved airflow, and other measures. WHO has outlined the best practices for schools and most European countries follow them; strengthening measures when Covid prevalence is high in the local community and reducing measures when Covid prevalence is low in the local community. It is pretty clear that in-person learning is better for children than remote learning; in order to maximize in-person learning during a global pandemic it is important for schools to put measures in place where in-person learning can be done safely.

At my youngest school, a handful of parents accused the school of the exact same false narrative that social distancing, proper face mask wear, improved ventilation, staying home if sick or staying home to quarantine if someone in the household tested positive for Covid et cetera...
  • Was preventing kids from going to school.
In reality, they (a handful of parents) were the only ones not willing to follow the health guidelines while everyone else did follow the health guidelines with their kids back in school for in-person learning.

One parent was so angry, that she pulled her kid out of the school and enrolled her at another school to only then see her kid catch a severe Covid illness...three weeks of school missed...one week of it in the hospital. :banghead:

That school had one of the highest Covid cases while our school had one of the lowest Covid cases.
  • Currently, there's no longer a mask mandate...its the parent or kid's choice if they want to wear a face mask but all other health guidelines still being followed.
My teens still wear their N95's along with the rest of the 95% of the school while +90% are fully vaccinated. Only one Covid infection since January back in early March..a vaccinated breakthrough infection. The Parents of the kid said the entire family had Covid and were all fully vaccinated. Yet, only a mild sore throat, coughing for a few days...three missed school days plus two days in quarantine at home...

A lot better than that other Parent that was not vaccinated and their kid got Covid at her new school that resulted in one week of hospitalization (7 days) plus another 14 days of missed in-person school for a whooping 21 days of missed school. Yep...the mom had to miss work too.

Fortunately there is now a FDA approved medicine available for treating Covid in very young children. But Covid-deniers wouldn't want them to have any of this since "Covid doesn't harm children".

FDA approves remdesivir to treat young children with Covid-19
https://www.cnn.com/2022/04/25/health/fda-remdesivir-covid-treatment-young-children/index.html

The US Food and Drug Administration announced Monday that it has expanded approval of the Covid-19 drug remdesivir to treat patients as young as 28 days and weighing about 7 pounds.

This is the first Covid-19 treatment approved for children younger than 12.

To be eligible for treatment, the FDA said, children must be hospitalized or have mild to moderate Covid-19 and high risk for progressing to severe Covid-19, even if they are not hospitalized.

The drug, made by Gilead Sciences and sold as Veklury, had been approved to treat certain adults and patients 12 and older who weighed at least 88 pounds. It's given as an injection.

"As COVID-19 can cause severe illness in children, some of whom do not currently have a vaccination option, there continues to be a need for safe and effective COVID-19 treatment options for this population," Dr. Patrizia Cavazzoni, director of the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, said in a news release. "Today's approval of the first COVID-19 therapeutic for this population demonstrates the agency's commitment to that need."

There is no Covid-19 vaccine authorized for children younger than 5 in the United States.

The FDA's approval of remdesivir for young children is "great," said Dr. Daniel Griffin, an instructor in clinical medicine and associate research scientist in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics at Columbia University.

Griffin called remdesivir a "very effective antiviral" at preventing the progression of Covid-19 to a more severe illness, lowering the risk of hospitalization or death, when given early in the course of Covid-19 infection.

"More recently, the results have come out -- it was a really landmark paper published in the New England Journal of Medicine -- showing that if you give remdesivir in the first five days, during the acute viral phase, before you wait for the door to close, you could prevent progression by almost 90%. It was 87% in that study. So remdesivir actually can be a very effective antiviral if you give it at the right time in the right patient," Griffin said Monday.

"If we can extend this down to children and actually give it to them during the critical time when it can make the biggest difference, finally, we're really opening up more options, because these kids don't have a lot of options," he said. "They don't have access to some of the other therapies that are restricted to that over-12 age group."

More people who were fully vaxxed have died from Covid than children. The truth hurts.

GWB-Faking has another hard collision with reality.


Large-scale study identifies severe COVID-19 risk groups
https://www.jpost.com/health-and-wellness/coronavirus/article-705505

A new Imperial College London study, the largest of its kind so far, has identified several factors that increase the risk of hospitalization and death from COVID-19.

The researchers found that groups at a higher risk of severe illness and death from COVID-19 were the elderly, males, people from Asian and Black ethnic backgrounds and people who live in poor areas. Imperial College noted that these metrics were consistent with the results of previous studies.

The new study found that people at the highest risk of severe illness and death from COVID-19 were those with long-term conditions, including learning disabilities and mental illness.
 
Australian researchers uncover clue to rare and severe response to Covid in children
Breakthrough could improve diagnosis and lead to development of treatment for condition that has baffled doctors for two years
https://www.theguardian.com/austral...rare-and-severe-response-to-covid-in-children

In the first months after Covid emerged, doctors were baffled by rare and severe responses to the virus in some children, whose symptoms included lung disease, blood clotting and heart damage.

Two years later and researchers led by the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute [MCRI] in Melbourne have uncovered the proteins involved in these acute inflammatory responses in children.

MCRI haematology researcher Conor McCafferty said blood samples were taken from 33 children affected by either multi-system inflammatory syndrome or acute respiratory distress syndrome after they contracted Covid-19.

Children with Covid-19 who develop multisystem inflammatory syndrome often suffer from fever, abdominal pain, vomiting, skin rash, heart disease or conjunctivitis. Children who develop acute respiratory distress syndrome may suffer organ damage due to a lack of oxygen in the blood.

These blood samples were compared with samples from 20 healthy children.

“What we were doing was trying to look at all of the proteins in their blood,” McCafferty said. “So a lot of people hear about genomics, which is looking at all of the genes in the body. We were doing proteomics, which involved looking at all of the proteins in the blood so we could try and map out what was happening.”

They found the children affected by the syndromes contained specific proteins in their blood not seen in the healthy children.

“Our research was the first to uncover the specific blood clotting and immune protein pathways impacted in children with Covid-19 who developed these serious symptoms,” McCafferty said. The findings were published in the journal, Nature Communications, on Monday, with researchers discovering 85 proteins specific to multisystem inflammatory syndrome and 52 linked to acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Knowing the specific proteins involved could improve diagnosis and lead to the development of targeted treatments for children suffering from severe Covid-19 cases. Currently, children affected are treated with intravenous immunoglobulin from donated blood, which reduces their chance of developing heart issues from one-in-four, to one-in-20. Children who do experience changes to their heart often see the issue resolve as they get older.

About 1.7% of children hospitalised with Covid-19 are admitted to intensive care. Most children who contract Covid-19 have mild or no symptoms.

The syndromes are so rare in Australia that researchers were sent blood samples taken from Covid-19 infected children with the syndromes receiving treatment at the Necker university hospital in France.

“France had the blood samples, while we had the proteomic testing capacity here in Melbourne,” McCafferty said. “This kind of collaboration is one of the silver linings to emerge from Covid-19.”
 
Hospital studying long-term effects of COVID-19 in kids
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/covid-long-haul-kids-effects/

Adriana Vaughan tested positive for COVID-19 in October 2021. Eight months later, the 12-year-old has a string of new medical issues: fatigue, headaches, stomach problems and more.

Vaughan can't even walk for six minutes without losing her breath. She says swimming, which she did before getting COVID, is also hard.

"I do really love the water and swimming. I tried to do it a few days ago, it was really a lot for me," Vaughan told CBS News.

At first doctors in her Virginia hometown weren't sure what to make of her symptoms.

"They didn't know what long-haul COVID was and they kept saying it was anxiety. But my mom knew I didn't have anxiety," she said.

Vaughan is one of more than 70 kids being treated in the long COVID clinic at Children's National Hospital in Washington, D.C. Dr. Alexandra Yonts, an infectious disease specialist who runs the clinic, said fatigue is the top complaint among patients young and old.

"Kids tend to have less respiratory complaints and more gastrointestinal symptoms," she said of how their symptoms are different than adults.

More than 13 million children have tested positive for COVID since the pandemic began, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. Studies have found a wide range in the number who suffer from long COVID, but Yonts estimates it could be as high as 10%. Children's National Hospital is conducting a three-year study to learn more about the long-term effects.

After getting COVID in December 2020, Erin Peace lost 15 pounds and all of her energy. The 16-year-old stopped singing and seeing her friends and had to go to virtual home school.

I was just laying in bed all day," Peace told CBS News.

But she's slowly getting better, saying she feels like a six on a scale of one to 10. She resumed singing lessons this week.

"I've definitely improved a lot," she said.

It's what Vaughan is counting on too.

"I have hope every day," Vaughan said.
 
LOL. You pro-Myocarditis fuckers just won’t stop pushing propaganda. You’ve been wrong since day 1 and you keep doubling tripling down on stupid.
Your vaccine is a failure.
Your NPIs are a failure.
Your coercive and discriminatory policies are a disaster.

You should all fuck off and die.
Hard.
 
So the Covid-deniers whine ceaselessly that children are behind in education due to school closings -- while pointing out the small percentage of children who were killed by Covid. Of course, while not mentioning the significant number of children hospitalized by Covid or enduring Long Covid.

The other thing the Covid-deniers never mention is the large number of children who lost their parents to Covid -- they are direct victims of Covid as well. Here are some of their stories.

These children lost young parents to Covid-19. Here's what they want other kids -- and adults -- to know
