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

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.

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.


FRAUDci should be serving hard time for this ‘irony’.

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.

Dr. Fatima Marinho of the University of São Paolo -- is not a crazy, wild eyed lying marxist

“The positive test numbers and the death numbers have been exaggerated from the start and efficacious treatments have been denied”

Crematorium owners are saying India is underreporting the true covid deaths. They say the true deaths are in the millions.
One guy is running his crematorium non stop 24/7.He said precovid he was doing 20 cremations per day-one shft. Now it’s 100 per shift x 3 shifts and the 16 other crematoriums in his town of Shutar are the same way.

Every country has underreported covid deaths except the US

Interesting to note...Brazil has some of the strictest child vaccination laws in the world.

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

Like polio and smallpox??

Your thinking is half right. Get out in front of bio weapons. Get healthy, vitamins, minerals, antibiotics, anti inflammatories, antivirals, etc. Vaccines may be the cause of much of this mess...

3. Brazil is one of the strictest vaccine states in the world! Especially for kids.

True. The only thing a National Healthcare System insures is equal suffering. Except for the elites who can afford private doctors.

I get the news feeds from all of Asia. Not seeing any significant reports. It just like I never saw the bodies piling up in the streets where I am.

Proper sanitation would have certainly helped those two. Eventually we would have built up an immunity.

You ever see animals drinking from a water hole and not getting sick? They never had vaccines but if we did the same we would be dead in a few days.

They have reached the vaccine wall. The threats will not work. They will have to go full on storm trooper forced vaccination mode and that is when the shooting begins.

Moves my “Get Bolsonaro BS meter”...

But, indeed, the epidemic is awful there and may be swarming even into the children.
