Leading US health officials have finally acknowledged that pandemic restrictions they supported may have fueled a boom in respiratory bugs currently overwhelming hospitals.
Healthcare systems across the country have been pushed to the brink after an unseasonably high number of flu and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) cases with some pediatric units forced to erect inflatable tents to treat patients in parking lots.
...
In a statement to DailyMail.com, the CDC said it was 'hearing from some doctors and state health departments about an apparent increase in iGAS infections among children in parts of the United States, and is investigating this increase.'
...
The CDC does not track the infection the same way it does viral illnesses like Covid, the flu and RSV, though, making national infection and death figures unclear.
....
At Texas Children's Hospital, the state's largest pediatric hospital in Houston, doctors are reporting a four-fold increase in Strep infections this year compared to pre-Covid levels.

Whether the CDC wants to admit it or not, taking the COVID vaccine or boosters messes with your immune system.
Thus so one should be surprised when diseases we thought were a thing of the past return to sting us again.
If your immune system is out of whack, diseases you have been vaccinated against like measles and mumps can invade and make you sick.
