“Mild”? It is downright shameful & scandalous that #LongCovidKids has doubled in 3 months & tripled in 6 months in kids 2-16 in 🇬🇧. Kids suffering for 12+ months has also doubled! There is no universe where kids #COVID19 debilitated as such is “mild”!

4) The willful neglect of children during this pandemic will go down in history as among the most sociopathic heinous political decisions of the pandemic. Here are record after record for pediatric #COVID19 hospitalizations in 🏴— just continued surges of kids in 🏥 w/ #Omicron

6) I think the #LongCovid damage to kids will be even more traumatic in the years to come. We don’t see it yet, but like the light of galaxies far away, we know their beams of light will inevitably hit us as they have already begun traveling. Same with #LongCovidKids.

7) doesn’t look “mild” to me or anyone with a brain.
