Respiratory illnesses on the rise in our children

www.cnn.com...

In particular, hospitals are seeing a rise in cases of respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, a common cold virus that can be associated with severe disease in young children and older adults.

I just saw where it's the same thing with the elderly. This is the second article I've seen on the extreme rise in respiratory illnesses in small children. The other article (which I can't locate today) was saying how children's hospitals were having to set up tents, and even call in the national guard, so they could handle the excess influx of children being brought to the hospital; all of which had respiratory problems.

So, I'll just ask the question: are these children who had to drink the kool aid? There is no mention of any of that, but wondering if it's a variable they want left out...

Buchanan said hospital leaders have met with the Connecticut Department of Public Health and the National Guard to begin logistic review of putting a mobile field hospital in the front lawn and more work is planned Thursday to determine a final decision and get approval.

Something strange here and the timing is very very suspicious 😀

RSV has been around long before COVID-19, and the vaccinations against COVID-19.

RSV Surveillance Reports - CDC

Perhaps all the attempts to spread COVID-19 by the conspiracists, to prove that the countermeasures didn't work, also spread other similar diseases?

Or, perhaps the RSV virus also mutated to a more infectious strain, as many other viruses do?

I was more of thinking about the immune system (post jab) being weakened in children. That's a good point for the debate; these viruses have been around for a long time....so, why the rise in cases all of a sudden? And along with all these other "mysterious illnesses and deaths" that have been going on around the world? All simply explained? Plz....enlighten us more...a reply to: chr0naut

The immune system usually becomes stronger by exposure to pathogens. The more frequent, and the more diverse, the greater overall immune response is in the individual.

It can be thought of as the immune system being this monolithic response engine, and the antibodies as plug in modules that activate it for a particular pathogen.

It doesn't make sense for non-autoimmune pathogens to reduce immune response (autoimmune pathogens, like HIV, hijack the immune system as an attack vector).

The same people who see increased seasons of one virus (RSV) as suspicious, are the same people who claim a reduced season of another virus (Influenza) is suspicious. LOL.

Seasonal fluctuations happen and we don't always have a good handle on why they do. Until someone comes up with some clear mechanism that explains the fluctuations, then the best we can do is to say 'stuff happens'.

Also, RSV has traditionally affected children more than adults. If someone were to weaponize a virus, RSV would be a far better candidate than SARS-CoV-2, which affects the elderly and infirm more than the young and healthy. In fact, there are numerous really extremely deadly pathogens that are far better as weapons than RSV.

Between the covaids, rsv, gay pornography, sex changes and school shooters, they never stood chance.
Just send me my pod now Bill

And yet it was so serious that people had to deal with social, governmental, and corporate coercion to get vaccinated for it, and have even voted to add it to the list of childhood vaccinations.

Yes. COVID-19 has not been as bad as some pandemics.

Because it only makes sense to deal with the very worst pandemic that could ever happen. By comparison with that one, everything else is a doddle. Why should anyone take any action to anything less?

I'll see your Fukushima, and raise you a Chernobyl.

from the lancet and others the spike in rsv cases is thought to be lockdown related.

The epidemiology of RSV changed in UK children during the pandemic

A study by Bardsley and colleagues published in the Lancet Infectious Diseases in September 2022 modeled the impact of non-pharmaceutical interventions targeting COVID-19 on the epidemiology of RSV in England. Bardsley and colleagues found that at the start of the pandemic, cases of RSV fell sharply during the 2020–21 winter, followed by a substantial increase in transmission over the following summer. The study found that this was followed by a dramatic surge in RSV activity in 2021, including a 10.7% rise in hospital admissions and 11,225 extra lab-confirmed cases, equating to an increase of 1,258%. The move away from COVID-19 restrictions enabled the virus to return to more seasonal and typical transmission patterns, particularly in an immunologically naïve population.

It's air pollution that is causing these issues. But some people don't want to hear that.
