Excess deaths from disease in school-aged children have been elevated since May of 2022 and show no sign of diminishing Note that the number of monthly COVID deaths (yellow line) plus expected deaths (white line) does not reach the black line (actual deaths)

Monthly deaths from disease in school-aged children (5-17yo) Prior to the pandemic, deaths from disease in children were extremely seasonal -- peaking around Jan/Feb of every year COVID changed that pattern dramatically

If the German people had reacted like this to the Nazi stormtroopers when they went around disappearing people who were enemies of the Regime The whole world would have been spared the horrors of WW II

@wendyorent.bsky.social minor tidbit about "masks harming kids," but Zweig is likely citing a myth propagated by WaPo's Leana Wen, who insisted masks impeded speech development in kids, even though that mostly happens in the home. Wrote about it here: www.panaccindex.info/p/profile-le...

Given HHS has decided to stop recommending SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations in children but continue recommending Influenza vaccinations... ...I submit: Total deaths due to three infectious pathogens in children, 2020-present: COVID: 2,046 Influenza: 875 RSV: 190

The most transparent, pro free-speech administration in history would like you to know that US universities can do necessary research work for the country, raising our standard of living... ...so long as they don't say anything that the tyrant dislikes

Absolutely incredible The arguments in favor of NOT vaccinating children against SARS-CoV-2 are: 1. Children have long immune memories. So no more annual flu vaccine for kids? 2. Children are repeatedly & serially infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Each infection is actually a vaccination

"Covid [vaccination] no longer recommended for healthy kids and pregnant women" 1. SARS-CoV-2 is the leading cause of death from infectious disease in children 2. Pregnant women have impaired immune function and are one of the highest-risk groups for SARS-CoV-2 infection This is just evil

Young people (those under 45 years of age) are continuing to die of SARS-CoV-2 infections ("COVID") at a very high rate Yet the increase in mortality among the young gets virtually no notice in the media Why is that?

What people are missing here is not that college students cheat on exams (they always have) But that it's apparently trivial to write examinations that AI can't pass Think about that

Weekly influenza vs. COVID report In April 2025 (last month), COVID killed more than twice as many people as influenza For three months flu bested COVID but, like the turtle and the hare, COVID wins in the end This ends the flu's brief but attention-grabbing bid to outdo COVID Image

The same people who went apoplectic when asked to wear a mask to *protect people* in a pandemic eagerly wear one to *kidnap people* in Gestapo cosplay.

Weekly COVID vs. Influenza report Jan/Feb/Mar each saw more deaths from influenza than COVID -- a first However, April gets us back to an old familiar pattern with COVID once again causing at least twice as many deaths per month as influenza (1,134 COVID deaths/584 Flu deaths)

US pilots are legally required to obtain a weather briefing prior to flight (see: FAR 91.103) The government has announced it will stop providing weather forecasts This will impact aviation Will the law be revised to eliminate the requirement to check weather?

Just like Jay Bhattacharya wanted unvaccinated kids to die of COVID-19, he now wants kids to die of everything else as well
