A new report from Sweden highlights a staggering 62% increase in Type 1 Diabetes diagnoses for children under 5 between 2018-2022. Experts suggest the #COVID19 pandemic may have heavily impacted immune systems.

This stands in stark contrast to earlier Swedish claims that children were unaffected.

During the height of the pandemic, certain Swedish voices, like Prof. Jonas Ludvigsson, claimed "Children do not die" from
Covid-19.

This narrative pushed for open schools and "herd immunity," with Ludvigsson even asking them if he could quote them on "no school outbreaks."
Publicly available emails from March 2020 show

(involved in drafting Sweden's Communicable Diseases Act) outlining three COVID-19 strategies to Anders Tegnell. While Tüll advocated for "strategy 2" (testing, tracing, quarantine),

Tegnell confirmed Sweden had chosen the third strategy -allowing spread for a hypothetical herd immunity. These public emails expose how Jonas Ludvigsson sought to publish an overview on COVID-19 transmission in children. He explicitly asked Anders Tegnell if he could quote Image

"no reports of Covid-19 outbreaks in Swedish schools," suggesting a pre-determined conclusion. Even more alarming: In July 2020, @ludvigsson himself emailed Anders Tegnell about excess mortality among children 7-16 years old in Sweden, #DataManipulation #ChildMortality Image

noting a +68% increase in deaths for that age group (March-June 2020) compared to previous years. Despite this concerning data showing a clear signal of increased deaths, Ludvigsson still suggested it "could be random" and asked the public health agency #Accountability Image

to obtain cause-of-death data, which would take months. This raises serious questions about transparency. @ludvigsson is also a signatory of the "Great Barrington Declaration," widely classified as dangerous, unethical, and lacking relevant

scientific basis for its promotion of herd immunity through widespread infection. This wasn't peer-reviewed research, but a letter to the editor approach, trying to establish a narrative without rigorous scientific scrutiny. The long-term consequences for #ScienceMatters Image

children are now becoming evident, as seen with the surge in Type 1 Diabetes. Herd immunity without vaccination is a flawed and dangerous concept for respiratory
viruses. #CleanAirNow

Clean air in schools & public spaces, via air purifiers & N95+ masks, must be as fundamental as clean water. Protect our children!

Following the thread on the cumulative risk of Long COVID in children after reinfection, let's look at a new study on vaccination and adults. The evidence is overwhelmingly clear: vaccination is protective. #VaccinesWork #PublicHealth Image
2/
A massive Swedish nationwide study (Sahlgrenska Academy, European Heart Journal) of over 8 million adults confirms that full COVID-19 vaccination significantly reduces the risk of severe cardiovascular conditions linked to the infection. Image
3/
📉 VACCINES REDUCE SEVERE RISKS:
After full vaccination (especially the 3rd dose), the risk of severe cardiovascular events—including heart attack, stroke, and heart failure—was generally 20-30% lower compared to the unvaccinated. Image

🚨 The Double-Edged Sword: New research suggests #SARSCoV2 might be an unseen accelerant for #LungCancer. Beyond acute illness, the virus's long-term effects could fuel cancer development and progression. This is a critical public health warning. 👇 #COVID19 #Oncology Image
2/
The study highlights several terrifying potential mechanisms:
Chronic Inflammation: The cytokine storm and persistent, dysregulated inflammation after COVID are well-known cancer promoters. Image
3/
ACE2 Receptor: SARS-CoV-2 binding disrupts the protective RAS pathway, potentially contributing to cancer progression.
Dormant Cells: Respiratory infections like COVID-19 can even wake up dormant cancer cells (DCCs) in the lungs, triggering metastasis. Image

Marie Ewerz is 49. She got COVID in 2021 and has not been well since. Her symptoms are getting worse. 💔 Thousands in Sweden still suffer from a condition—Long COVID—that remains largely misunderstood, years after the first cases. Marie says: "You feel so alone."

The illness has fundamentally changed her family life. At 9, her son first found her passed out on the kitchen floor. "He's been terrified and barely dared to leave me," Marie shares. Now 13, his worry meant he’s had to grow up too fast.

➡️ Debilitating headaches, chest pain
➡️ Sensitivity to light & sound
➡️ Post-Exertional Malaise (PEM)

A new study on #LongCovid in children shows worrying results. Researchers found a strong link between persistent neuropsychiatric symptoms (like headaches, dizziness, and memory issues) and changes in brain volume, specifically in the temporal and subcortical regions. Image
2/
The study published in Pediatric Neurology found that children with more severe symptoms during the acute phase of COVID-19 were more likely to have significant brain volume changes months later. This suggests that the initial severity of symptoms can predict long-term effects Image
3/
Additionally, the research highlights that visual perception is also affected. Children with visual symptoms had lower scores on perceptual skills tests, pointing to potential underlying issues with how the brain processes visual information. Image

A new Swedish study from the Public Health Agency suggests that for healthy, low-risk seniors and young adults in risk groups, the cost-effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccination is low. According to the study, the benefit is limited from a socioeconomic perspective.
@SwedishPM Image
2/
The study states that the most significant benefits are for seniors in high-risk groups, those with home care, or living in nursing homes. For these groups, the vaccine is even cost-saving for society.
@SwedishPM @Folkhalsomynd @jakobforssmed Image

But here’s my problem with this analysis. It focuses heavily on direct costs and hospitalizations (QALYs), largely ignoring the significant long-term effects of COVID-19, like Long COVID. This is a massive blind spot!

A disturbing study from late 2020 revealed something we should all be paying attention to: virtually all children infected with COVID-19 showed signs of blood vessel damage. #COVID19 #PublicHealth Image
2/
This was seen even in asymptomatic kids. The study from Children's Hospital of Philadelphia found a "high proportion" showed elevated levels of a biomarker tied to blood vessel damage. Image
3/
Additionally, many children were diagnosed with thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA), which leads to clots in small blood vessels. This is a condition linked to severe COVID in adults. Image
