Study links long COVID in kids to worse grades and attention problems.

"A major U.S. cohort study suggests long COVID in children may reach far beyond lingering symptoms, affecting how they learn, focus, and connect with friends at school."

They are explicitly and specifically targeting people with long covid because, to put it bluntly, there's fuck all else available to us. MAHA decimated long covid research funding and now the grifters are swooping in....

Physicists refute famous 2025 study claiming daylight saving time poses severe health risks In 2025, Lara Weed and Jamie M. Zeitzer of Stanford University published an article linking the practice of seasonal time changes (Daylight Saving Time) to negative health outcomes, ranging from acute symptoms (heart attacks and strokes) to chronic conditions (obesity).

A recent analysis finds that previous claims linking daylight saving time to significant health risks are unsupported, citing critical methodological errors in the original study’s calculations. doi.org/hbxr57

Average Victorian secondary student misses equivalent of three terms of school, new figures show The average Victorian secondary student is skipping nearly a year worth of high school, and experts say its for this alarming reason. Suzan Delibasic April 6, 2024 - 5:00AM The average Victorian secondary student will skip nearly a year worth of high school, with experts blaming a spike in mental health issues and feelings of isolation among teenagers.

A Saturday Herald Sun analysis of Department of Education figures shows an average high school student missed 163 days of class — or the equivalent of more than three terms — between years 7 and 12. The Department’s figures showed students in years 7 to 10 failed to attend an average of 29.2 days a year, while year 11 and 12 students were AWOL an average of 23.2 days a year. The non-attendance figures were all far worse than targets the Department sets and are based on the latest publicly available data, which was collected in 2022. The Department blamed illness from Covid and the flu as the reasons behind the absences for both primary and secondary schools, particularly in semester 1. But educational and developmental psychologist Dr Janine Bounds said school refusal was causing widespread absences across Victoria. “I’m seeing more children and young teens that are refusing to go to school.

A Department of Education spokesman said: “We will continue to work with families and carers to support the mental health and school engagement of all Victorian students.” “In 2023, Victoria recorded the highest attendance across the nation with school refusal accounting for just two per cent of all absences,” the spokesman said. “Schools access a range of programs and services to help vulnerable and at-risk students re-engage with their education, including Navigator, and tailored mental health and wellbeing programs.” But Opposition Education spokeswoman Jess Wilson said the growing number of lost days of school due to absence – far in excess of the government’s target – reflected a “deeply concerning” trend that needs to be addressed. “Students don’t get better outcomes by spending more time away from the classroom and classmates. For this reason, we need to better understand what is driving this increase,” Ms Wilson said. “The government using Covid as an excuse does nothing

This pro-infection article was written during the worst wave for young kids. In January 2022, nearly 1,000 were being hospitalized and 6 were drying daily.

'Large-scale population studies and observational research are suggesting people who contracted Covid face a 'statistically elevated risk of cognitive impairment' compared to matched control groups. In older age groups, the risk extends to 'dementia-level decline', [..] years after infection' >

Researchers warn of severe long-term damage to the brain after Covid following new study Scientists warn long Covid could be linked to lasting brain damage, including memory issues and increased risk of neurological decline.

[...] 'people who developed long-term neurological symptoms after Covid also showed increased levels of phosphorylated tau, a protein linked to early brain degeneration.'

With a fairly well-matched vaccine, transmission rates relatively low and international introductions not having much impact, this seems a huge missed opportunity for suppression.

Hundreds of reported cases each week implies many thousands of infections, impacts on community and healthcare.

Not a lot of #COVID19 vaccination is going on in Australia. Especially alarming when it's low in the older groups at risk of the most severe outcomes.
