Jennifer Moore 😷<p>"It’s worth noting that at the time Kulldorff and the rest of the GBD crew were proclaiming COVID’s harmlessness to kids, they couldn’t possibly have had enough information to determine the veracity of their own claims. Viruses like the chickenpox, EBV, HIV, HPV, and HSV often present with mild initial infections but may cause major damage years later. We now know COVID can as well.</p><p>"For so-called experts to run with an assumption that an initially mild-presenting acute infection would be long-term harmless was just that; an assumption. They were willing to gamble the health of a generation of children on a guess in order to go “back to normal” because that’s what the oligarchy clamored for. Because it costs money to shut the world economy down. Because people who mattered were angry. Because children aren’t people who matter."</p><p>(GBD = Great Barrington Declaration, a bit of 2020 propaganda including the unfounded supposition that everyone who caught covid would be immune forever after)</p><p>Overall another excellent pointy article!</p><p><a href="https://www.thegauntlet.news/p/long-covid-is-now-the-number-one" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">thegauntlet.news/p/long-covid-</span><span class="invisible">is-now-the-number-one</span></a></p><p><a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/children" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>children</span></a> <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/covid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>covid</span></a> <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/LongCovid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LongCovid</span></a> <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/CovidIsntOver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CovidIsntOver</span></a> <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/GreatBarringtonDeclaration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GreatBarringtonDeclaration</span></a> <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/misinformation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>misinformation</span></a></p>
