What Is Stopping You From Living in Fear On Your Own?

I'm sure everyone else has had it with the fiction that this Chinese-spread virus is as deadly to children as it is adults:

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says its removal tens of thousands of deaths it had attributed to COVID-19 happened because the agency was mistakenly counting deaths not related to COVID-19.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has removed tens of thousands of deaths linked to COVID-19, including nearly a quarter of deaths it had listed in those under 18 years old.

The health agency quietly made the change on its data tracker website on March 15.

“Data on deaths were adjusted after resolving a coding logic error. This resulted in decreased death counts across all demographic categories,” the CDC says on the site.

The CDC relies on states and other jurisdictions to report COVID-19 deaths and acknowledges on its website that the data is not complete.

But the statistics are often cited by doctors and others when pushing for COVID-19 vaccination, including figures who believe virtually all children should be vaccinated. Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the CDC’s director, cited the tracker’s death total in November 2021 while pushing for an expert panel to advise her agency to recommend vaccination for all children 5- to 11-years-old.

Before the change, the CDC listed 1,755 children as dying from COVID-19 along with approximately 851,000 others, according to Kelley Krohnert, a Georgia resident who has been tracking the updates.

The update saw the CDC cut 416 deaths among children and over 71,000 elsewhere, arriving at a total of just under 780,000.

 

That the so-called vaccines are well-tested and safe:

After receiving an initial dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, Li Jun’s 4-year-old daughter developed a fever and began coughing, which quickly subsided following intravenous therapy at a hospital. But after the second shot, the father could tell something was wrong.

Swelling appeared around his daughter’s eyes and did not go away. For weeks, the girl complained about pains on her legs, where bruises started to emerge seemingly out of nowhere. In January, a few weeks after the second dose, the 4-year-old was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

“My baby was perfectly healthy before the vaccine dose,” Li (an alias), from China’s north-central Gansu Province, told The Epoch Times. “I took her for a health check. Everything was normal.”

He is among hundreds of Chinese that belong to a social media group claiming to be suffering from or have a household member suffering from leukemia, developed after taking Chinese vaccines. Eight of them confirmed the situation when reached by The Epoch Times. Names of the interviewees have been withheld to protect their safety.

The leukemia cases span across different age groups from all parts of China. But Li and others particularly pointed to a rise in patients from the younger age group in the last few months, coinciding with the regime’s push to inoculate children between 3 and 11 years old beginning last October.

 

That the teachers who insisted that in-class learning was important until they didn't want to go into an actual classroom and therefore relied on online classes had sound reasons for such rationale and stand by the results of distance learning and mandatory masking:

A question and answer document sent Monday from the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation (OSSTF) to their members — and shared with the Toronto Sun by concerned educators — shows just how resistant the union is to teachers stepping up and providing education alternatives in the weeks and months ahead.

The province is moving too quickly to drop COVID-19 mask mandates, the head of the union representing public elementary school teachers in Windsor-Essex said Wednesday.

Earlier in the day, the province said most mask mandates will end on March 21, just after March Break, and masks will no longer be required in schools, stores, and restaurants.

But Mario Spagnuolo, president of the Greater Essex Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario, said the decision "doesn't sit well" with the union's members, who would have preferred to see a more gradual approach.

Whereas, the older children were more likely to experience inattention and were persistently inquiring regarding COVID-19. Although, severe psychological conditions of increased irritability, inattention and clinging behaviour were revealed by all children irrespective of their age groups (). Based on the questionnaires completed by the parents, findings reveal that children felt uncertain, fearful and isolated during current times. It was also shown that children experienced disturbed sleep, nightmares, poor appetite, agitation, inattention and separation related anxiety (). ...

Some children have expressed lower levels of affect for not being able to play outdoors, not meeting friends and not engaging in the in-person school activities (; ; ). These children have become more clingy, attention seeking and more dependent on their parents due to the long term shift in their routine. It is presumed that children might resist going to school after the lockdown gets over and may face difficulty in establishing rapport with their mentors after the schools reopen. Consequently, the constraint of movement imposed on them can have a long term negative effect on their overall psychological wellbeing ().

A study found that older adolescents and youth are anxious regarding cancellation of examinations, exchange programs and academic events (). Current studies related to COVID-19 demonstrate that school shut downs in isolation  prevent about 2-4% additional deaths which is quite less if compared to usage of other measures of social distancing. Moreover, they suggest to the policy makers that other less disrupting social distancing strategies should be followed by schools if social distancing is recommended for a long duration (; ; ).  ...

The children with autism find it very difficult to adapt to the changing environment. They become agitated and exasperated when anything is rearranged or shifted from its existing setup. They might show an increase in their behavioral problems and acts of self-harm. It is a huge challenge for parents to handle autistic children due to lockdown.


So, if people choose to live in fear, what is stopping them?

Some people have moved on:

The Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board (HWDSB) voted against removing the mask mandate and proposed keeping students and teachers masked until April 15 to protect the medically vulnerable. ...

Some Hamilton parents have criticized the board’s decision, saying the policy is “pointless” and “potentially unlawful.” HWDSB is home to some 50,000 students.

“My kids will not be wearing masks and they will be told to have the school call me if the school tries to force them to wear a mask,” said Alyssa Vankleek, a Hamilton parent.

“My child was told by the provincial government it was safe to no longer wear a mask in most settings. The school board has no right to tell us otherwise,” she added.

 

Keep your kid at home.

Forever.

That way, he will never suffer any ill effect of anything outside the front door.

Live your lives in fear.

It's what you want for yourselves and your snowflakes.
