Did the lockdown policy cause the surge of hepatitis cases among children?

Take a look at Australia and nz now and see how they are getting on with covid. Spoiler alert, it isnt too good. Their lockdowns and strict border closures did nothing but delay the inevitable and they do have the detrimental immune effects too caused by social distancing and lockdowns to deal with too. The flu is running rampant there now also due to a lack of exposure in the past couple of years. Zero covid could never happen. Not without literally destroying society anyway. I'm sure in the years to come it will be looked back on as complete madness and hysteria.

Review of research and data on childhood hepatitis of unknown origin discussing past Covid infections or co infection causing inflammation or persistent gut Covid infection causing an autoimmune imbalance.

Yes , thanks , saw that . Don't know where they got that from from though . Covid vaccines ruled out a while back ,but nothing definite yet about covid infection being ruled out as cause or catalyst .

Some researchers think that it is viral coinfection whether it be 2 adenoviral strains , or covid and adenovirus , acting as catalyst for auto immune mediated inflammation of the liver .

Be good to see the research that clip is based on.

Can't imagine dousing kids in hand sanitizer helped their immune systems either. All for an airborne virus, ridiculous.

This has nothing to do with Covid vaccines - as you stated yourself earlier in this thread. They are next to useless for children who are not at risk of serious illness from Covid - all the data backs this up. Look at HPRA data - 1 in 2,200 children suffer serious side effects from the vaccines that don’t prevent infection in children (January data) - and this is an underestimate as more information is now rolling in suggesting higher figures. 1 in 3,000 children might get the inflammatory response (Delta variant figures) which is being reported at a much lower rate with the Omicron strain if infected with Covid.

These hepatitis cases are a mystery - but they are beginning to see a clear pattern between an adenovirus and perhaps another virus infecting concurrently on naive immune systems as my GP recently explained. Many children’s immune systems are very vulnerable following two years of hand sanitising, masks and not mixing - all for a disease they are not at risk from.

Not that this is anything to do with this topic, but there is no benefit for children to be vaccinated against covid, unless they are in a high risk category, and medical professionals trying to castigate parents for not doing so, as you are doing in that post, is having the opposite of the intended effect and turning parents off vaccines completely. Public health authorities and their strong arm approach of mandates and vaccine passports for a vaccine with a higher rate of side effects than usual and that doesn't even stop transmission is entirely to blame for this so maybe it is public health authorities who should be asking themselves the questions?

Yep we didnt get our son vaccinated and we are certainly not anti vaccine as he has all his childhood vaccines.

The whole point of traditional vaccine is to stop you getting it. This is what all childhood vaccines do.

However Covid vaccine does not do this and Covid doesn't usually have a serious effect on children, so why would you give them a vaccine that we know hardly anything about that could cause side effects?

I can't understand it.

The last straw for me was the push to now also give your child the flu vaccine.

Are they for real. Are people going to get their healthy children vaccinated every year against the flu which was never done before until they are 18?

No wonder we have this strange variant of hepatitis. Kids need to build up their immune system against common colds and flu.

Seeing the excess deaths go up post pandemic is something that I actually expected to happen and kept my radar on for information related to it. My hypothesis at the beginning of lockdown(s) was that those who we protected by isolating everyone i.e. old and frail would sadly die shortly after opening the country due to natural causes anyway. The lockdowns would merely add a few months to their lives at best, I thought. In addition to that I was fairly certain that the lockdowns themselves would cause so called secondary deaths that over time would dwarf the covid deaths. This I thought would be due to lack of diagnosis and medical care as well as stress and mental health issues. I did not take the adverse effects of vaccines into account at that time though. I thought that because they would be safe enough and administered only to those who were vulnerable and really needed them, and consequently the event of death caused by the vaccine would be so rare that it would not affect in any meaningful way the excess deaths.

What I don’t understand is that at least in some of the countries excess deaths come and go in waves, like covid. It would be natural to link them with the virus of course. However, in UK at least they looked into their numbers to discover that there are excess deaths on top of covid deaths, which would suggest there are other causes for those. Same must be true for other countries as omicron is far less dangerous and causes much fewer deaths now. If that is the case what causes those deaths? And then you have other countries, Sweden for example who have not had excess deaths to mention since Feb 2021 - the numbers are very much in line with what they would have expected -single digit fluctuations. Again the question is - why?

The point i was making from the beginning was that the policy should be aimed at protecting lives with a long term period in mind (at least 2-3 years). I believed back in March 2020 that in terms of numbers of lives saved it should be focused not so much how well we do short term but how we do overall long term, even much beyond the pandemic. Unfortunately flattening the curve and lockdowns are not the way to achieve that if we agree that we are considering all deaths and not just covid deaths.

There is much more questions than answers wrt this issue still and I only started researching this. It may take months before we know more. The true winner here will be a country and a government who lost the fewest of its citizens to covid as well as policies that were implemented to deal with over at least 5 year period (possibly 10 years) since the start of the pandemic.

I actually agree with your first line ....but where did I castigate any parent for not vaccinating?

You are off on a misguided rant there.
