In Brazil, an alarmingly high number of babies and children are dying of Covid-19
NBC News ^ | 4/16/21 | Nicole Acevedo

Posted on 04/16/2021 1:51:49 AM PDT by EBH

While government data from Brazil suggest that over 800 children under age 9 have died of Covid-19, an expert estimates that the death toll is nearly three times higher.

Dr. Fatima Marinho of the University of São Paolo, a leading epidemiologist who is a senior adviser to the international non-governmental organization Vital Strategies, estimated that the virus has killed 2,060 children under 9, including 1,302 babies. Her estimate is based on the number of excess deaths from an unspecified acute respiratory syndrome during the pandemic.

There is a misconception that children are at zero risk for Covid-19, Marinho told the BBC after she found that there have been 10 times more deaths from an unexplained respiratory syndrome over the past year compared to previous years.

Marinho added that, throughout her research, she has seen a rise in cases of multisystem inflammatory syndrome among Brazilian children. The rare syndrome is a newly identified and serious health condition associated with the virus that causes Covid-19 infections. It tends to affect children up to six weeks after they are infected with the coronavirus....

...Last week, more than a quarter of the world's coronavirus deaths were in Brazil. Christou said he expects the situation to worsen in the coming weeks if nothing changes.

No it was never public health this is the first act of world war four. WW3 was fought via proxy and economic battles that ended with the fall of the Soviet Union. The truth of China’s attack is staring the world in the face. People are too locked in to normalcy bias to accept what is plain to see. China can and will weather a biological weapon by sheer population numbers alone they can lose 50% and still be a viable.society. If the West loses even 20% they collapse. Sars v1 had a 35 to 40% death rate of perfectly healthy people China can take those levels of death and shrug it off in the long run. The world must get control in Brazil, Africa and Latin America before this bug mutated back to it’s roots.

No tests given, based purely on statistics.
Try again doc.

“It has an R0 on par with measles and is spread via airborne droplets as well as basic respiration particulates just breathing is enough that was proven scientifically many times.”

Hello. Measles has an RO of 18 or 9 x times that of Ebola.

Sounds like you believe everything you have been told. There is a huge psy ops being pushed right now from the top down and we know they are willing to let people die in order to gain control of our economies and our futures. The positive test numbers and the death numbers have been exaggerated from the start and efficacious treatments have been denied. I don’t believe anything I hear from the CDC, the drug companies or Fauci. We need to bolster our immune systems and realize what is really happening here.

Establishment medical shills have been doing great harm to people’s health for decades. If you follow most of their nutritional advice you’ll be sickly and in poor health. If you follow their medical advice you’ll be bankrupt or have had a huge number of unnecessary operations. And yet in spite that horrid track record of FAILURE, they’ll be as cocky and smug as all hell.

The world is a petri dish to these people in which they are always brewing the next false statements, statistics, assertions to panic the public into becoming lab rats for the latest Covid-19 vaccine/scare du jour. People in the US and other areas halting vaccine acceptance. Quick! Announce new! Ominous! Threat! *rinse and repeat*

This from the person who posts months old articles as news, in which they make dire predictions about what will occur "months from now" that had already not occurred to try to cause panic.

I live a 5 minute slow stroll from a hospital. Been cutting thru it everyday on my way to exercise since Covid hit. I must have missed all the dead bodies stacked up on the floors.

Wasn’t it Fraudci that continued the Gain ofFunction research in Wuhan? If so then it’s an American funded bioweapon just Made in China. China is open for business. China may not have released it on purpose but are merely cashing in on something that fell in their laps.

The scamdemic is basically over. They are running out of scare tactics now that there was no large body counts. I was out about with the workers in full biohazard suits spraying down public areas. People would just move out of the way because we didn’t want to inhale whatever they were spraying. It looked good on the news and in newspapers though.

I should have taken pics but I think I have a newspaper front page spread for a souvenir.

“My bet is that whatever those kids are dying from, if the rate is in fact up, the vast majority aren’t due to WuFlu.”

The favelas are the shack cities where the poor and displaced of Brazil gather and live. There are no doctors there, little running water and less electricity.
The gangs run the favelas and the police usually stay out. They aren’t nice places.
The Brazilian government is working on pacifying the favelas but it will be a long slow job.

Maybe there they don’t have the babies get the basic vaccines like here, so the immune system is weaker.

Thats my take as well. The Obama admin made gain of function testing illegal, but the Fauci run NIH was sending money to the Netherlands that found its way to Wuhan to develop Covid. How it got out is unknown but the irony is we funded this.

and also targets very successfully those who are obese, or have metabolic syndrome which is 40% of adult Americans over 35.

Yes. And when's the last time you saw any expert on TV saying LOSE WEIGHT NOW, OBESITY IS A HUGE RISK FACTOR?

Like never. But they "follow the science" don'tcha know.

Actually, don’t vaccines weaken the immune system? Our immune systems are strengthened by fighting bad stuff.

This might explain a few things:

“Public healthcare is provided to all Brazilian permanent residents and foreigners in Brazilian territory through the National Healthcare System, known as the Unified Health System (Portuguese: Sistema Único de Saúde, SUS). The SUS is universal and free for everyone.”

That’s what I thought but someone said that they aren’t actually giving you live covid to build antibodies. My dermatologist told me and my wife we can’t get the vaccine if we wanted to. Which we wouldn’t get it if we could. We both have autoimmune problems and take meds for it. We both caught covid in February. We felt tired for about a week. That’s about it.

It is now well known that overuse of antibiotics on children while growing up is very, very harmful to their health upon reaching the later years since thir immune systems were not properly fully developed. Another flaming disaster from establishment medicine. The Creator has babies constantly putting things in their mouth as a way of feeding samples to their immune system to process and catalog.
