SEATTLE — The omicron-fueled surge that is sending COVID-19 cases rocketing in the U.S. is putting children in the hospital in record numbers, and experts lament that most of the youngsters are not vaccinated.
“It’s just so heartbreaking,” said Dr. Paul Offit, an infectious-disease expert at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. “It was hard enough last year, but now you know that you have a way to prevent all this.”
Offit said none of the vaccine-eligible children receiving care at his hospital about a week ago had been vaccinated, even though two-thirds had underlying conditions that put them at risk — either chronic lung disease or, more commonly, obesity. Only one was under the vaccination age of 5.
The scenes are heart-rending.
“They’re struggling to breathe, coughing, coughing, coughing,” Offit said. “A handful were sent to the ICU to be sedated. We put the attachment down their throat that’s attached to a ventilator, and the parents are crying.”
None of the parents or siblings was vaccinated either, he said.
The next four to six weeks are going to be rough, he said: “This is a virus that thrives in the winter.”

Time to drive up the vax numbers for kids.
Considering the role abortion plays in developing vaccines may I dare say:
“What we are really trying to say with stories like this is that it’s time for your kids to get their ‘Dead Baby Shots’”.
“We gotta do something! Scare Porn not scary enough! Oh, wait! GET VAXXED. IT’S FOR THE CHILDREN!!!!!!!”
Now, I wouldn’t want any of my grandchildren hospitalized, but this is hyperbole by the AP.
Thanks for your accurate numbers.
These articles are essentially huge lies without necessarily techically lying.
Where is the evidence for this rumor about abortion with the vaxes?
This Offit guy is a vaxx pushing sicko. He hasn’t seen a kid he doesn’t want to jab with some poison.
“At a 2008 vaccine activism rally in Washington, D.C., environmental Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. criticized Offit’s ties to drug companies, calling him a “poster child for the term ‘biostitute’.”
He’s a shill and he looks like Phil Donahue
All of a sudden Children are catching it in large numbers.
What changed?
Children WERE NOT coming down with it. Now they are?
I’d like to know the vaccination status of their parents.
Let’s see what that reveals.
even though two-thirds had underlying conditions that put them at risk — either chronic lung disease or, more commonly, obesity
Children who are being admitted to the hospital FOR OTHER MEDICAL CONDITIONS are being tested, and are tested "positive" via the BS PCR test.
They have neither symptoms nor the virus!
But, the hospitals get a great big Federal Bonus!
The issue discussed in another thread on FR tonight...

But, but, BUT...
“Kids can’t catch it!”
“And IF they do catch it, they won’t get that sick”.
Which have both been abject, bald faced lies from day one.
OF COURSE kids catch it - and spread it all over.
And some of them wind up in the hospital from it.
Some of us knew this from day one.
Sadly there are many risks to life in this world, and even though they may be miniscule overall each individual case is tragic for the people involved.
Based on what we know now, it is too bad that the people in the scientific community decided to pursue research with dangerous viruses in spite of the risks to everyone of what they were doing. Perhaps some of the doctors speaking up today about the aftermath of letting a dangerous virus escape from a lab should have spoken up sooner.
Historical fetal cell lines were derived in the 1960’s and 1970’s from two elective abortions and have been used to create vaccines for diseases such as hepatitis A, rubella, and rabies.
Abortions from which fetal cells were obtained were elective and were not done for the purpose of vaccine development.
The fetal cell lines being used to test or manufacture the COVID-19 vaccines are from two sources:
- HEK-293: A kidney cell line that was isolated from a fetus in 1973 (undisclosed origin, from either a spontaneous miscarriage or an elective abortion)
- PER.C6: A retinal cell line that was isolated from an aborted fetus in 1985
How do they know it’s Covid and not the flu if there is only one f**kin test.
Children have always gotten it from the beginning. I’ve interviewed whole families ill from onset of pandemic . Children usually have some symptoms, often mild, and maybe fever, for a day or two and then are running around again while their parents are still sick. Some kids symptoms are so mild that although whole family is positive, you would never notice kids symptoms if parents themselves weren’t so symptomatic. Most of the kids are fine within days.
Absolute BULLSHIT, they are NOT ventilating large numbers of otherwise healthy children because of Covid. Media broadcasting/publishing this propaganda LIES is criminal
This fake fear porn is appearing in the UK too, almost like it’s planned.
