Seriously.
What the heck is happening to boys aged 10-14 in England and Wales?
I mean it would be great if someone in the media even acknowledged this, let alone asked questions about it.rising boys' deaths
Maybe something like "the mysterious and silent tragedy of the near doubling in the numbers of 10-14 year old males dying in England and Wales".
Girls v Boys

Girls' deaths have risen... but boys' deaths have leapt. rising boys deaths v rising girls deaths
Here's the cumulative difference between boys and girls deaths in that age bracket since the start of 2020.
Do you see how it goes ballistic in August 2022? sharply rising graph
This is the ratio between the three month rolling average of weekly deaths of boys and girls.
That scale on the left is *how many times as many deaths of boys are being registered than deaths of girls*. growing peaks above red line
You can see that at one point nearly THREE TIMES as many boys deaths were being registered.

The red line is when the same number are happening.

And remember, this is *how many more* are happening - girls has risen too. same graph
I don't know if it's caused by anything.
It may just be one of those random fluctuations.
I'm not suggesting it's caused by any specific thing.
But don't you think someone should be looking at it? Comparison graph
Why isn't anyone from the government or opposition talking about what they think is happening and what they're going to do about it?
And, *AS ALWAYS*, if increased deaths are occurring in any non-elderly population, they'll almost certainly be linked to increased disability across that age group.
If ten kids are dying in a week, how many are being disabled?
Let's put it another way.
On any day, you can look back and see how many 10-14 year old boys died in the previous 365 days, right?
Here's that rolling graph.
Three years ago, it was 138.
Now it's 231.
Do you understand yet? rising graph

A couple of weeks ago, I had a tricky meeting with a family in preparation for a funeral.
I knew in advance that one of the family is fiercely against mitigations like masks, so I was braced for trouble.
When I got to the meeting, he wasn't there, so he missed my prepared speech.
But he arrived later.

Covid infections make every single part of your body vulnerable to new problems.

Whatever age you are.

But let's pick *one* part of your body, the skin.
You'd be surprised how much harm Covid is doing.
I'm just going to throw a few charts up here of 'hospital episodes' for individual skin conditions that show the last 12 years of data.
(Hospital episodes are not *cases*, they are the number of times someone interacts with a hospital for treatment)
Here's a few different conditions across a few ages.
From top left: Herpes in 18-45s
Viral warts 18-65s
Dermatophytosis 18-45s
Bacterial infections of skin Under 10s
Other mycobacterial infections of skin 18-65s
Mycetoma Under 18s. Image

The ten stages of Covid era grief:
Denial - pretending to yourself that we're still living in 2019, that endless repeat covid infections don't make you more sick, and that washing your hands makes you well
Bargaining - inviting the virus to infect you now, hoping it will be kind to you when you're older

For the billionth time:

Most of the 'symptoms' of an infection (fever cough tiredness etc) are your body fighting the infection.

The later symptoms are the work of the actual pathogen… and they're the ones that your body is trying to prevent.
Your body hates infections.
Rightly.

Infections left unchecked will, simply put, kill you.
People without an immune response will simply die when they are infected by even ordinary microbes.

An actual professor said this.

Allow me a moment to tear it into shreds.
🧵 Image
It's hard to know exactly where to start because there are just *so many things wrong with it*, even in just that one tiny sentence... but let's go for it...
Let's just start with this overall weird premise that getting repeat infections with covid now will keep you from getting severely ill when you are older...

WHAT IF YOU ARE OLDER ALREADY.

A lot of people have been really hard on the ukhsa, but I don't think it's always fair.
They're still a relatively new agency, so I think it's worth taking a moment to highlight some of the considerable achievements of their brief history.
❤️🙌
1
Encouraged everyone to repeatedly and endlessly catch Covid, a virus that has killed upwards of 30 million people and caused lasting ill health for 400 million so far.
2
Pushed handwashing as the solution for the aforementioned airborne virus, proving that they want you to catch it.
