"Children with a severe acute form of hepatitis"

"Eleven of 12 of the Israeli patients were reported to have had COVID-19 in recent months and most reported cases of hepatitis were in patients too young to be eligible for COVID-19 vaccinations."

Flesh-eating disease
Also called: Necrotizing fasciitis
A serious bacterial infection that destroys tissue under the skin.

This is all connected to COVID.

"30 case reports and observational studies in which patients showed mucormycosis in COVID-19 patients, among them, 70% of patients died "

"COVID-19-associated mucormycosis is linked to immunity deterioration"

FUNGAL infections increase risk every year over the 2013 - 2016 average. Why?
COVID in an immunosuppressive virus that often leads to long term infection in organs including the brain.

COVID & AIDS are the leading cause of lymphocytopenia. This increases recurrent viral, bacterial or fungal infections and also increases the odds of cancers and autoimmune disorders.

"HIV-1 and SARS-CoV-2 are different viruses. However, T lymphocyte deficiency or lymphocyte ineffectiveness and a “cytokine storm” due to the hyperinflammatory response of cells involved in the innate response, are characteristics of both"

"The cell cytokine profile resembles that of terminally exhausted CD8+ T cells with compromised cytotoxic activity, seen in patients chronically infected with HIV-1"

This states a difference is COVID doesn't persist but that's not true. It does persist. medsci.org/v19p1787.htm

Asymptomatic yet persistent infection in children's tonsils⬅️ suggest that lymphoid tissue can be a reservoir for COVID & may play an important role in community transmission.

➡️ CD123+dendritic cells were most infected cells followed by CD4 & CD8 T-cells
sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

➡️ Asymptomatic children may have persistent viral replication in their tonsils and contribute to transmission. ⬅️

Children may become silent spreaders between schools and homes. Students to siblings to new classrooms and so on driving transmission.

Two weeks of virtual learning after the holiday break makes sense. Prevents 10s of thousands of infections. Keeps immune systems stronger and significantly reduces exponential growth of the newest most contagious variant to date, the XBB.1.5 variant.

XBB.1.5 has a 194% growth advantage, based on the latest data.

Compare that to BQ.1.1 which has a 48% growth advantage. How is COVID Impacting the Immune System?

➡️ Immune Suppression Paves way for Organ Infection ⬅️

The evidence is in our faces.
If we choose to ignore it and send our children to schools with these variants when over 90% of the U.S. is seeing High or Substantial Transmission then that is our failure to protect the children, teachers, and everyone at risk in the community.

How will we start this new year?

Face our fear & the reality of the situation or turn our backs on children and everyone else.

Disability claims continue rise.
Cumulative excess deaths continues to increase.
Productivity is substantially reduced. Where will we draw the line?

"Productivity is down 4.1% on an annualized basis, the biggest decline since the government started keeping track of the number back in 1948."

From the U.K.
"New UK disability claims double in past year, with fastest rise among teens"

"Figures show a sharp rise in inactivity in the labour market since 2019 linked to long-term sickness, including mental illness and nervous system disorders."
