This horrifying reality is yet another unintended consequences of sweeping government pandemic lockdowns..
From mental health to drug overdoses, some of the most apparent unintended consequences from COVID-19 lockdowns and pandemic restrictions have finally garnered mainstream attention. However, the global fallout from lockdown orders on the world’s poorest has flown somewhat under the radar—and will make the aforementioned dire consequences look mild in comparison.
A research organization dedicated to documenting the consequences of government pandemic interventions, Collateral Global, released a May analysis reviewing the research on how lockdowns will affect childrens’ prospects. The results are astounding.
“The COVID-19 pandemic and restrictive mitigation policies have forced millions of children worldwide into poverty, with devastating effects on their access to education, nutrition, shelter, sanitation, and overall likelihood of survival,” the Collateral Global research team reports.
They find that:
Global child poverty has increased 15% to hit 1.2 billion children living on less than $2/day..
Disruptions to access to healthcare, vaccinations, nutrition, etc. could mean that up to 1.2 million additional children die before their fifth birthday..
A whopping 7 to 9.7 million children who missed school during the pandemic will never return..
Up to 100 million children will never reach basic reading proficiency..
Of course, some of this fallout couldn’t have been avoided given the pandemic. But—especially for children at extremely minimal risk of death from COVID-19—much of it surely traces back directly to government restrictions that closed schools, limited healthcare access, and closed economies.
We must weigh these dire costs against the fact that studies have shown lockdown orders have little to no impact on the spread of COVID-19 and the fact that the virus largely spreads at home. If the global population does this cost-benefit analysis in earnest, policymakers will have much to answer for.
Don’t you even think about blaming China for this.
For crying out loud. They wrote all about it in their Agenda 21 plan.
It’s not a bug. It’s a feature.
UN Agenda 21 / 2030 ( Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the list.)
This was forecasted Before the lockdowns. Part of the plan. Cue the pop stars. Concert to feed the world coming soon. Only they are too shallow to realize the elites answer to feeding the children is by having less of them to feed. The back end by starvation, and the front end by sterilization.
Please add me to your ping list.
Oh, they COULD, huh? Imagine that.
The Plan! The Plan! That’s the Plan! Ask Gates, Soros and Fauci.
You are added. Thanks.
65 Million people die each year.
The forecast is for 120M to die each year in 20 years.
Looks like the globalists plans are working .... use every possible scheme for depopulation.
~Easy
They lost one year, or maybe eighteen months of school. There is nothing stopping them from learning how to read.
Okay, I understand sales. Saying grown adults might suffer won’t get so much as a click. But children...pardon...CHILDREN!!! Did you get that? CHILDREN! The rest of us don’t matter. Surprised they didn’t say, “Children of color,” or, “women and children of color,” or “minority’s affected,” or, possibly “LGBT children.” We all know there’s a hierarchy of importance and adult’s, especially heterosexual white adults, don’t even make the list on the second page.
The government lockdown is not only ridiculous, it didn’t help a bit. It was arbitrary. A company that only sold appliances was shut down, but Home Depot, Lowe’s and other major sales rooms were open. The mom and pop, nope, they were not only ordered to close, they were arrested if they resisted. I hope there’s a class action suit and it bankrupts the whole damned government at every level. This must never happen again.
Trumps fault. They will try it soon or later. He was blamed for every death even though he did all he could and did more than any other President would have done. If biden was president when this happened we would still be on lockdown and fauci would be giving daily updates..
Globalists consider this to be a good thing.
I guess I better hurry up and spend all my money before the end comes.
It was a small price to pay to get rid of Trump, at this point, what difference does it make
