Child With No Other Health Issues dies From COVID-19 in Houston, Health Department Says
KHOU11 ^ | August 26, 2021 | Michelle Homer

For the first time, a child who had no other health issues has died from COVID-19 at a Houston hospital, the city health department reported Thursday.

There have been six other pediatric deaths in Houston, but all of those children had underlying health conditions.

“Serious chronic medical problems, the things they’ve unfortunately been going to medical doctors regularly for most of their life. That’s what most of those have been," Chief Medical Officer for the City of Houston Dr. David Persse said.

The Houston Health Department said the boy who died in July was between the ages of 10 and 19 and had not been vaccinated. They say he tested positive for COVID-19, but they don't know yet if it was a variant of the virus, like delta.

They aren't releasing other details because of privacy laws.

“This tragedy serves as a reminder that children, even without underlying health conditions, can get seriously ill and die from COVID-19," Persse said. “Getting vaccinated is not only about protecting you, it’s about protecting everyone close to you, especially your family, from serious illness and death.”

Dies “from” or with. We don’t know and never will. In my high school every year someone young and healthy would just drop dead for no known reason. Usually ended up being a genetic heart condition or one tragic case of a sever allergic reaction. We did not shut down the schools.

But the opposite is true. It is the VACCINATED who are super spreaders to the UNVACCINATED.

They aren't releasing other details because of privacy laws.

Such as weight, height, actual age (19 is adult in Texas)?

How about < 14 days after having both shots?"

NO?

But they DO splash it all over a 12 paragraph "news" article with TWO videos, all of it pushing for the clot shot.

What is making people so insane?

I’m betting that if those figures were adjusted by number of vaccinations given
it would look even worse for the WuFlu Jab.

I agree.

Please watch this video of a Northern Ireland MD/GP starting at 7minutes. (Or just watch it all.)

Their “yellow card” system is the analogue to our VAERS.

My guess is that the child was 18 1/2 years old so they had to push the limit up to the non-standard 19 yrs old child. Who knows what else they were tap dancing around.

I always had a tough time characterizing George Carlin. Sometimes he sounded very conservative, and sometimes, extremely Leftist, but...I concluded he must be a libertarian.

If I ever read anything about him, I would guess he would categorize himself that way.

He was an old school combo of Democrat and Libertarian mix.
I didn’t agree with all of his opinions, but he was funny, intelligent, and made me think.

I know a lot of people here don’t like him, but they’re usually the grumpy ideologues. I’d much rather spend time with a George Carlin than any RINO.

He was an intelligent comedian. Not all of them are.

No reason to believe this story is true.

A fake story without the name of the victim.

But as usual, the panic will set in with the usual stressballs and anxiety-panic driven folks.

FEAR MONGERING:

noun)
the action of deliberately arousing public fear or alarm about a particular issue.

Once again, just enough info to meet the needs of the narrative, but NO DETAILS.

Such as, What he infected with RSV??? If so, was he properly diagnosed and receive treatment? Was said treatment delayed by negligent incompetence?

Etc., etc.

As per my prior snarky comment (I'm probably right):

The CDC issued a health advisory on June 10 that warned doctors about an increase in cases of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) across the southern US. "Due to this increased activity, CDC encourages broader testing for RSV among patients presenting with acute respiratory illness who test negative for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19," the advisory read, before noting that RSV is linked with "severe disease" in young children and older adults.
What Is RSV? The CDC Issued a Warning About This Infectious Disease-Here's What Experts Say
RSV cases had been below normal levels since April 2020, but they started rising in March 2021, the CDC says. Cases have particularly exploded in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Texas, and Oklahoma, per CDC data.
Gee...ya think???

READ ME:

It's not entirely clear at this point why people in Southern states are getting hid harder with RSV. What we do know: It's unusual to see this many RSV cases at this point in the year.

"RSV normally is seen in the late fall and wintertime," respiratory tract infection expert Timothy Murphy, MD, senior associate dean for clinical and translational research at the University at Buffalo Jacobs School of Medicine, tells Health. "It peaks in the winter and reduces dramatically in the springtime. But that didn't happen this year."

RSV is often misdiagnosed. Look it up. Mistrial or Misdiagnosis: The Importance of Autopsy and Histopathological Examination in Cases of Sudden Infant Bronchiolitis-Related Death

Imagine the bias with a positive 'covid' test...

Imagine why this case is a month old and only now getting into the news...
