Covid and Kids
Large study in children and adolescents shows that SARS-CoV-2 infection is linked with long term cardiovascular complications
“In summary, this study shows a heightened risk of cardiovascular disease in children following SARS-CoV-2 infection, with similar risks observed in those with and without pre-existing congenital heart disease.”
“You saw it happen. Your child got sick - and everything changed. Speech slipped. Anxiety soared. The light dimmed.
And no one could tell you why.
Now a new study has quietly confirmed what you’ve known all along:
The immune system can drive autistic symptoms.”
“After COVID-19, kids more likely to have GI symptoms for up to 2 years
Children with previous COVID-19 infection have a 25% to 28% higher risk of developing new gastrointestinal (GI) tract symptoms for up to 2 years.”
“Countering COVID Myths:🚨
❌Myth: "Lockdowns definitely caused massive learning loss"
✅Reality: Using a large set (n=2mil) of Ontario students, we see more improvements then losses, and trend of older students doing better than younger students. “
Reviewing pediatric Long Covid studies of 2024 that also discuss school, and prevalence rates fall between 23-28%, meaning that of the children infected with Covid, that percentage develop a serious chronic condition, which includes:
Chronic fatigue
Cognitive impairments (concentration, memory, executive functioning problems)
Chronic cough
Dyspnea
Chronic headaches
Post-exertional malaise
Psychiatric disorders (anxiety, depression, etc)
Orthostatic intolerance (dizziness, light-headedness, heart rate irregularities, POTS)
Sensory disturbances (loss of smell, taste)
Chronic pain, discomfort, weakness
Good luck not getting Covid again during the 2 years it takes to recover from Covid.
“Children experience weakened immunity and bacterial infections after suffering from long Covid-19 syndrome, a study published in the medical journal Nature has revealed.
Persistent fatigue was the most common symptom in children with long Covid syndrome, while the majority of children often complained about anxiety.”
“Correcting revisionist history: ‘COVID is not a problem for young people in the US’
Covid responsible (not ‘with’, underlying cause) for 2% of all deaths <20. That's 1 out of every 50 deaths of all kids who die. #1 in infectious diseases, 5th in disease overall…”
COVID-19 deaths created 300,000 American orphans, 330,000 if we count "primary caregivers" and 380,000 if we count "secondary caregivers". That's a lot of childhood harm.
2x as common for Black kids 4x as common for Indigenous kids 1.6X as common for Hispanic kids”
