I think this one deserves a thread of its own

Deaths from disease in school-aged (5-17) children continued a relentless pandemic rise in 2023

In 2023 more than six thousand children died of disease in the United States

This is 32% higher than before the pandemic

Some of the usual minimizers are complaining because my original charts in this thread were based on deaths in school-aged children where disease was a contributor to death, not the underlying cause

Here are the same chart with disease as the underlying cause of death

The anti vaxxers have noticed the large increase in individuals who are self-reporting a disability

And, as predictable as sunrise, have zeroed in on "the vaccines" as the cause

Even though the signal that repeated infection with SARS-CoV-2 is the causal agent is much stronger Image
Background:

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) does regular surveys of the "Civilian Labor Force" (CLF)

CLF is defined as those aged 16-65 who are not in school, jail or otherwise institutionalized.

About 167M people, of which more than half (50%) are under 45 years of age
Part of the survey are six questions about disability:

* Are you hard of hearing?
* Are you sight deprived?
* Difficulty in concentrating remembering, making decisions?
* Difficulty walking or climbing stairs?
* Difficulty dressing/bathing?
* Difficulty doing errands alone? Image

This month the CDC announced it would no longer make available COVID case reports submitted to it by the states

And that it was transitioning case data previously used on its "Data Tracker" dashboard from state case reports to state death certificates

This was not unexpected
Image
Image
All national mortality data flows to the federal government (CDC) from the states

In particular, from individual counties within each individual state

Mortality submissions take two forms:

* Death certificates
* Case reports (only for certain notifiable diseases)
The flow from the counties to the CDC takes time

* Death certificates take 6-18 months between the death and when the death becomes available at the CDC

* Case reports take much less time, on the order of weeks

The 5-17 year old age group is the only age group continuing to post annual increases in deaths from disease compared to baseline

First quarter of 2023 shows a stunning 22% increase in deaths over baseline for the 5-17 year old age group
Image
Image
If Q1 trends for 2023 continue, nearly one thousand more children will die from disease in 2023 than normal

From 2020-2023 more than two thousand children have died from disease than would normally have died in those four years prior to the ongoing pandemic

Most of them in 2023 Image

"Long COVID" is a chronic condition resulting from chronic activation (inflammation) of the immune system following/due to an acute infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37881427/
* "Long" COVID is actually just COVID in a chronic/ persistent form

* All people with persistent COVID exhibit systemic immune inflammation together with CD8+ T-cell exhaustion

* A subset of persistent COVID individuals also exhibit chronic fatigue as function of severity
Significant symptoms/co-morbidities of persistent COVID are:

* Cognitive defects
* Weakness

There is:

a) Absolutely no correlation between vaccination & increased death from disease

b) Absolutely no question that disease burden of those 18-44 years old has increased SUBSTANTIALLY during the pandemic

The CDC has had access to this data for years yet never published it Image
Everyone needs to ask themselves why the federal government has intentionally sat on exculpatory evidence with regard to:

a. Vaccine efficacy and safety
b. The disease burden of COVID on the 18-44 year old age range
c. Why they carried the government's narrative that
Vaccines were unsafe and unnecessary in the majority of the population

Monday Morning Mirth Mainlining comes to you courtesy of the University of California's reasons why it is removing HEPA filters from its classrooms (over the objections of students and staff)

Why HEPA filters are even worse than a SARS-CoV-2 infection, courtesy Berkeley:
* Air currents that can spread untreated air to other people in the space

* Noise that increases with the fan speed

* Maintenance and filter replacement considerations

* Energy consumption and potential power failures

And the number one reason why Berkeley is removing HEPA...
...filters from its classrooms, despite the students, staff and faculty preferring they remain is:

* Theft of unattended devices

Yup. Those worthless HEPA filters that just use electricity are nonetheless a hot commodity on the black market!

Does Berkeley even have a
