Thread Remember 2020, when we protected kids from infections, and then were told schools were safe, and also that kids would not die? Well, the data disagrees. Reference years are 2016-2018, to enable 2019 as a pre-pandemic comparator.

Thread Type 2 diabetes increased among youth during and after COVID-19 pandemic(Endocrine Society):

➡️The number of children(0-18y) diagnosed with type 1 and 2 diabetes continued to rise in the year following the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic(2021-2022):

T2D: +37% T1D: +106%

➡️They first tried to blame “school shutdowns causing kids to be less active, snacking more often, or eating more unhealthy foods led to increased weight gain and more cases of type 2 diabetes”…..but that didn’t work out well😉

➡️The increase in the proportion of new onset diabetes patients who developed T2D from years one(pre-pandemic) to four(second pandemic year) was statistically significant higher.

➡️Even though we may have returned to pre-pandemic times in several aspects, the increased risk of our youth developing type 2 diabetes that started during the pandemic has persisted"

➡️Striking……..No words on T1D anymore!

Case report: Post-COVID new-onset neurocognitive decline with bilateral mesial-temporal hypometabolism in two previously healthy sisters
Initially, the children's severe brain decline was blamed on pandemic anxiety, however upon a real investigation it was found that they have 'significant brain hypometabolism.'

Over 70% of household #COVID19 spread started with a child, says new study of 850,000 US households. Younger kids under 8 more likely source of transmission than kids 9-17. 📌In-person schools “also resulted in substantial spread”. Just the facts.

As reported by the Norwegian Broadcasting Corp.

This is serious business. According to Harvard in 2015: "A Scottish study published this week in JAMA shows that at the age of 20, individuals with type 1 diabetes on average lived 12 fewer years than 20-year-olds without it."

Thread Conclusion: "Findings from our study support that prior COVID-19 infection was associated with a significantly increased risk for RSV infection and was a driving force for the 2022 surge of severe pediatric RSV cases in the US."

This is an important pre-print. Thx for sharing./3

Thread The best-kept secret of the pandemic is that in 2020 those under the age of five (5), children, actually had >NEGATIVE< excess deaths

In other words, fewer children under the age of five died in 2020 than normally die in any given year

This became the foundation of a deadly lie

Excellent detailed thread on Covid and Kids A 🧵 on children and C-vid.

We are woefully uninformed with regards to the long term effects of this novel pathogen hence it would be wise to protect our children. It is our responsibility. Wear a 😷 . Advocate for clean air. 💉 yourself and your family.
