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

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

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

New analysis reveals a stark reality: 1 in 5 COVID-19 survivors still battle symptoms 3 years after severe infection. This meta-analysis of 11 studies highlights the profound, lasting effects on health and quality of life. #LongCovid #PostCovid Image
2/
The most common persistent symptoms include fatigue, sleep disturbances, and shortness of breath. These aren't just minor annoyances; they significantly impact daily living and long-term well-being. #ChronicIllness #HealthCrisis Image

This research, published in the Journal of Medical Virology, evaluated data from over 142,000 patients across Europe, Asia, and Australia, predominantly focusing on those hospitalized in 2020. The numbers are sobering. #MedicalResearch #PublicHealth Image

New research reveals a concerning link: prenatal SARS-CoV-2 exposure might impact a baby's brain development. This isn't just about acute illness; it's about potential long-term effects on cognitive, communication, & motor skills. #COVID19 #ChildDevelopment #PublicHealth Image
2/
The study looked at babies whose mothers had COVID-19 during pregnancy. At 6 months, many showed delays. By 24 months, those delays were even more common: nearly 65% had communication delays, and over 57% had motor delays! This is serious. #PediatricHealth #LongCOVID Image
3/
What's the connection? Researchers found that specific immune markers (cytokines and chemokines) in cord blood at birth were linked to these developmental delays. Things like IFN-γ, TNFα, IL-6, IL-8, IL-17, IL-1β, and CXCL10. These could be early warning signs. #Biomarkers Image

🚨 New research from Karolinska Institutet reveals a stark truth: newborns facing severe health issues in their first weeks (respiratory distress, infections, neurological impact) have a significantly higher risk of mortality throughout childhood & adolescence. #ChildHealth Image
2/
The risk is highest in the first year but persists later in life. Children with neurological problems appear particularly vulnerable. This underscores the critical need for regular medical follow-ups & comprehensive support for these families. #PediatricCare #PublicHealth Image

Separately, new findings highlight another crucial aspect of maternal & infant health: COVID-19 infection during pregnancy can elevate the risk of preterm birth. Preterm birth itself can lead to various health challenges for the newborn. #PregnancyCare #COVID19 Image

5½ years since the first COVID-19 case in Sweden, and the long-term battle continues. Meet Victoria, 21, who was once an athlete training 20 hours a week. Now, almost four years after her infection, she lives with debilitating daily headaches due to #LongCOVID. #Sweden Image
2/Victoria's story is heartbreakingly common. "I don't know what it feels like to have a day without a headache," she says, unable to do the things she loves. She also shares the immense challenge of getting her symptoms recognized and received #InvisibleIllness #HealthcareCrisis Image

adequate care from the healthcare system.
The scale of this crisis is staggering. At least 300'000 Swedes live with severe, long-term symptoms after a COVID-19 infection. Crucially, the Swedish COVID Association estimates

We spend fortunes ensuring our drinking water is pristine – consuming maybe 2-3 liters daily. And rightly so! But what about the 11,000 liters of air we breathe every single day? #CleanAirNow #PublicHealth Image
2/
Think about it: We wouldn't tolerate dirty tap water. Yet, we often overlook the unseen quality of the air in our public spaces. This oversight has real health and economic consequences. #AirQuality #InvisibleThreat Image

Investing in clean indoor air isn't a luxury; it's a fundamental public health necessity. From schools to workplaces, better ventilation & filtration protect us all from airborne pathogens & pollutants. #HealthyBuildings #IndoorAirQuality Image

New research breakthrough! An international team, including Karolinska Institutet, has identified a gene variant that increases the risk of #LongCOVID by approx. 60%. This is a crucial step towards understanding the biological roots of this debilitating condition.
#Genetics Image
2/
This variant is located near the FOXP4 gene, known to influence lung function. This finding suggests that lung health plays a significant role in who develops #LongCOVID symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, and breathing difficulties long after acute infection.
#MedicalResearch Image
3/
The study analyzed genetic data from 6,450 #LongCOVID patients and over 1 million control individuals across 24 studies & 16 countries, with findings validated in an independent cohort. Genetic insights are vital for conditions with unknown mechanisms!
