I don’t know how I went this long without deeply looking into the data that I’ve been sharing in the last two posts (part 1, part 2), but after doing so, it is very hard for me to not get extremely angry about what was done to young people in 2020 & 2021.
Alot of people spent alot of time telling each other how resilient kids are, how they "bounce back", how they really don't matter because "they'll be fine". My 90+ year old mother in law proudly told us (via FaceTime) at the peak of the madness that her then 10-year old great granddaughter had carefully moved away from her into a corner of the room because "she's been told the virus would kill me and she might have it without knowing". Proud of the child for understanding the seriousness of it all, proud that she had been terrorised into thinking she might kill this old lady just by breathing near her. I doubt any young person has "bounced back".
Let's be honest: I shot just as many arrows as I took. :)
Do not be ashamed. I remember the quiet ways you were watched and involved. A great encouragement to me. Not everyone in an army is called to the battlefront.
People were handed a range of forced dilemmas and put into very difficult positions. By design, unfortunately. I'm under no delusion that everyone had the same choices.
This scene comes to mind:
“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo.
“So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
So we sharpen swords, fill our quivers, and keep fighting.
And we knew basically immediately that kids weren't at risk of covid. What happened is that the 'experts' wanted to lock people down, but keep schools open. But then the OPTICS of thousands of kids mingling every day and going home made the lockdowns look STUPID -- so instead of canceling the lockdowns, they canceled school.
Political optics over literally everything -- even the education of the children they're supposedly caring for.
No..not one. One of my kids just informed me that Canada is talking about lockdown right now. All about the new ‘variant’.. Canada is in serious trouble. Their is no oversight committee and hasn’t been for months. This is really scary. Probably going to force jabs again!
To put it more bluntly, in 2020 all the responsible adults left the house. They walked out the door, and drove off leaving the kids behind. BUT before they left, they pschologically tortured the kids and emotionally blackmailed them.😐😐🤔
And now those same "adults" have returned and are scratching their heads, perplexed at the fact that the kids are so #@!%&? up, that they not only now identify as unicorns and fish, they can't stand eye contact, express emotion or understand how badly they have been tortured, and all they want is to hide in denial-land (a perfectly normal response to abuse btw). And they are being told, that THEY are the problem??!!
Thank you, depressing indeed. Perhaps it's worse: it would be interesting to know whether those 945 Covid19 deaths were among healthy 15 to 24 year olds with a good 60 years of life remaining.
I'm not sure how much we can learn about any impact of vax on this age group in 2021. Remember that it rolled out to young folks later. At end of Q1 2021 ~7% of this age group had completed series, 42% by end of Q2, 55% by end of Q3, 60% by end of year. Source: https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#vaccination-demographics-trends

I tried to tell people in real time, at the time, in multiple ways
Very few would listen.
Wish I could say that it feels good or vindicating to have been right; alas, it does not.
People are very much still in The Matrix regarding the past 3 years.
Yes, thank you for your effort & the arrows you took.
TBH, I am ashamed that did not stick my neck out in a similar fashion at that time.

In early March 2020 we got sick after babysitting. The child was diagnosed with strep throat. Because back then kids weren’t at risk!
We didn’t have access to the inaccurate PCR tests and would not stick the graphine laden test up our noses anyway.
I’ve tested random items at home. The dog drool and a cherry tomato tested positive.

It’s a crime and it looks like they’re about to do it again. Parents need to stand tf up.
Just look at the insane vaccine schedule American children are subjected to. No progress there for decades.
