Tässäkin Helsingin Sanomien artikkelissa ovat luvut väärin. THL:n mukaan 0-9 -vuotiaiden tartuntojen määrät HUS:n alueella ovat todellisuudessa noin 2.5-3 -kertaiset.

Tämän kuvan pitäisi auttaa Helsingin Sanomia saamaan suuruusluokat oikein. HUS:n alueella oli pahimmillaan 441 tartuntaa päivässä, eli 3087 tartuntaa viikossa. Siitä 14 prosenttia on noin 432 tartuntaa viikossa. Nyt (31.3.) määrä on noin 2500 tartuntaa viikossa.

Helsingin Sanomien mukaan tammikuun alussa todettiin HUS:n alueella keskimäärin noin 10-30-tartuntaa viikossa. Se on väärin.
3/x Image
THL:n mukaan 0-9 -vuotiaiden tartuntoja todettiin aikavälillä 1.-15.1. keskimäärin 60 viikossa (vaihteluväli 52-72). Vuoden alussa (1.1.) luku oli 72 viikossa. Luvut ovat THL:n mukaan todellisuudessa keskimäärin 60/20 = kolminkertaiset HS:n lukuihin verrattuna.

#FactCheck Image
Maaliskuun lopussa 0-9 -vuotiaiden tartuntojen määrä viikossa oli Helsingin Sanomien mukaan 137. Sekin on väärin. THL:n mukaan määrä on lähes kolminkertainen.

THL:n mukaan artikkelin ilmestymispäivänä 0-9 -vuotiaiden tartuntoja oli keskimäärin 52.7 per päivä eli 369 per viikko. Päivää aikaisemmin tartuntoja oli 54.4 per päivä eli 381 per viikko (eli 2.8 niin paljon kuin HS:n esittämä luku 137).

Maaliskuun puolivälissä 0-9 -vuotiaiden tartuntoja oli HS:n mukaan 154 viikossa. Sekin on väärin. THL:n mukaan todellinen luku on noin 2.5 -kertainen.

Maaliskuun puolivälissä (15.3.) tartuntoja oli HUS:n alueella THL:n mukaan 55 päivässä eli 7*55=385 viikossa. Tämä on 2.5 kertaa niin paljon kuin HS:n ilmoittama luku (154). Käytetty 7 päivän keskiarvoja.
8/x Image
Helsingin Sanomien mukaan 0-9 -vuotiaiden osuus kaikista tartunnoista on tällä hetkellä 14 prosenttia. Sekin heittää (mutta ei ihan niin paljon kuin muut luvut).

hs.fi/kaupunki/art-2… Image
THL:n mukaan 0-9 -vuotiaiden osuus HUS:n alueen kaikista tartunnoista oli julkaisua edeltävänä päivänä 14.9 prosenttia ja julkaisupäivänä 15.0 prosenttia (jos lasketaan 7 päivän keskiarvoilla).
10/x

#FactCheck Image
Jos käytetään 14 päivän keskiarvoja, niin 0-9 -vuotiaiden osuus HUS:n alueen kaikista tartunnoista oli sekä 30.3. että 31.3. (julkaisupäivä) 14.8 prosenttia.

This is an important moment.

After more than five years of silence, mainstream media has begun to acknowledge that C19 can harm T cells, and to discuss the consequences that follow. @fitterhappierAJ was one of the first, if not the first, to talk about this.

Dr. Leonardi has provided a significant amount of direction for me. In particular, he has been interviewed in some excellent articles that have withstood the test of time. Here is one of them.

We have seen it all.
- in 2020, they said that our health systems are so robust that this disease wouldn't come here
- then they wanted them infected. C19 was de facto allowed to spread in schools. Only a small fraction of <12 year olds received ...

Something is causing injuries among young children.

Something changed in 2022. Before that, the numbers were generally falling. Wonder what it could be.
2/x Image
After 2022, 1-6 year olds have overtaken a total of three other age groups (50-64, 15-24 and 65-74 year olds), and are now clearly above the total population average. All injuries (S00-S99).

Finland's epidemic 23 Dec 2025: amount of virus in wastewater appears to have risen above the first Omicron wave. Post-Omicron baseline is permanently higher than pre-Omicron; repeated waves are showing no diminishing.
1/x Image
Post-Omicron baseline is permanently higher than pre-Omicron
- before late 2021, levels were mostly 10³–10⁴.
- from 2022 onward, even troughs sit around 10⁵, or 10-100x higher
- C19 has become endemic
- constant background transmission, even outside waves
2/x Image
Repeated large waves in 2023–2024, not diminishing. Notable peaks:
- Apr 2023
- Nov 2023 (highest for the entire pandemic)
- Dec 2024

These peaks are:
- comparable to or higher than Omicron 2022
- evidence against a simple “each wave gets smaller” narrative

Intellectual disabilities (F70-F79): <1 year olds are leading in terms of y/y growth. Ten percent of <1 year olds will have an intellectual disability diagnosis in 14 year's time (2039), if current growth rates continue.

The rise in intellectual disability among <1 year olds also shows in number of diagnoses: up roughly 11 times in 4 years. Also note the rise among 1-6 year olds.
2/x Image
7-14 and 15-24 year olds are showing the highest levels of intellectual disability. If current growth rates continue, 5 percent of 7-14 and 15-24 year olds will have an intellectual disability diagnosis by 2048 (24 years from now).
