Why brutal Covid lockdowns and addictions to TikTok are driving mystery illnesses in teenage Aussie girls - as parents fear the worst over uncontrollable 'tics'
daily mail ^

Young women around Australia are being struck down by a mystery neurological illness - with experts fearing social media addiction and pandemic stress is triggering the problem.

The Tourette's syndrome-like disorder is seeing teenagers suffering from incontrollable 'tics' - which include outbursts, twitching, pops, noises, swearing, kicking and hitting.

Doctors are also witnessing the phenomenon across the globe where previously healthy young women have reported suddenly coming down with violent physical and verbal impulses.

But what's causing the rapid increase in cases has parents and medical authorities baffled.

There has been a steep increase in similarly reported cases through the pandemic, largely in teenage girls who can see symptoms appear as rapidly as overnight.

Doctors remain in the dark about its cause - but many believe it is directly linked to the social consequences of lockdowns and the reliance on social media.

Michaela began suffering from extreme tics when she was 14, coming on so fast her parents immediately took her to hospital.

'I was serving up dinner, I heard some noises and a yell and saw her laying on the floor. I thought she was having a massive anxiety attack, next thing an arm is flying then a leg,' her mother said.

'She said she didn't mean to do that. It was really scary, really really scary.'

Like many other cases, Nicole's tics came on during Covid when she was admittedly 'very lonely'.

I wonder if they were injected with Vaxzevria (AstraZeneca) ?

It’s called “Tic Toc” for a reason.

Yeah, you get tics from Tik Tok, which Trump tried to ban, for a reason. It’s why it’s called TIC Tok! The chicoms developers are laughing as Westerners eliminate their functioning gray matter with stupid apps such as this.

This is, by essential definition, mass hysteria.

" . . . with experts fearing social media addiction and pandemic stress is triggering the problem."

"Experts fearing"? Is that kind of like "experts guessing"?

Time for everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, to re-read (or re-watch I think there is a film) Arthur Miller’s The Crucible. It’s about the Salem Witch trials, and I think it’s intention was anti-anti-communism. But, it does show just how crazy and how destructive teenage females can be.

Or if that’s too high-brow, check out Animaniacs’ Katie Kaboom sketches, because those are epic and make the same point.

Like in the Salem witch trials.

Hope it doesn’t get anyone hanged.

Left-wing "fact-check" sites deny Gates was talking about killing people through vaccines.

Maybe not, but he was definitely talking about using vaccines to lower fertility rates and/or sterilize people without their knowledge or consent.

Sounds like somebody needs a spanking.

Could be some subliminal message being spread via certain social media sites. I think it’s an actual thing — advertisers used to do it during movies at theaters, IIRC.

Are people at least starting to realize why women were not allowed to vote for the longest time?
