I just saw something from a writer on here implying Covid does not affect children and I'm baffled people *who read* still think this. The evidence has been piling up since 2020 that children incur serious long term damage from covid. Recent studies include: www.news-medical.net/news/2025022... - ThreadSky

The more children and young people catch covid the more likely they are not to recover. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20250128/Study-uncovers-distinct-blood-protein-signature-in-children-with-Long-COVID.aspx

Even when the effects are not initially seen on the outside of the body, there are happening inside.

Just last week a new study has shown increased kidney disease in children who have had covid too, along with cardiovascular disease, long covid, and immune damage that leaves children susceptible to everything else. https://www.ajmc.com/view/covid-19-linked-to-increased-kidney-risks-in-children

Weirdly, children, also being humans, are like adults, much more likely to develop heart disease after a covid infection. https://www.msn.com/en-in/health/health-news/covid-19-infection-may-triple-heart-risk-in-kids-here-s-all-you-need-to-know/ar-AA1COUo6

A lot of long covid in younger children may be being missed because it presents a bit differently, a study from last August found.

Please, people. Educate yourselves. The children will not thank you for sticking your head in the sand and ignoring it. https://www.longcovidkids.org/long-covid-kids-news

This was a major failing of politicians, prioritizing vaccines and the vaccination protocols around workers and older people with shorter life expectancy. Not recognizing the young would live could with the consequence for their entire lives So stupid and short sighted,extremely costly for society.
