More Studies Confirm: We Were Right
The truth will out! These latest works bolster our case on several fronts.
In the last few weeks numerous papers have appeared showing event more wins and confirmation for Team Reality. Big thanks to our friend The Robber Barron for pointing them out:
Covid is low risk for immunocompromised kids. Team Apocalypse has been grasping at straws trying to keep masks strapped to our kids’ faces. One tactic has been to hide behind kids with special health needs. They declare: “We can’t take off the masks or lower our defenses for these children are at risk!” Never mind that our children has never been masked before and immunocompromised children have done just fine. Now a study confirms there is low risk for these children: “This study shows SARS-CoV-2 infections have occurred in immunocompromised children and young people with no increased risk of severe disease. No children died.” https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S016344532100548X
Long COVID in children is rare. Another positing from our health overlords is to declare the threat of “Long Covid” among various populations, including children. A large study of 37,522 children: “Conclusions: Long COVID in children is rare and mainly of short duration.”
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00431-021-04345-zIncreased risk of myocarditis after vax. The evidence stacking up - the risk of heart issues after the vaccine is real: “Based on passive surveillance reporting in the US, the risk of myocarditis after receiving mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines was increased across multiple age and sex strata and was highest after the second vaccination dose in adolescent males and young men.”
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2788346Lockdowns don't work. Another study confirming what almost every corner of the universe agrees with - the lockdowns were fruitless. “Overall, we conclude that lockdowns are not an effective way of reducing mortality rates during a pandemic”

More Studies Confirm: We Were Right
I have been writing about these topics throughout the COVID era, and have nailed it each time.
A summary of what and when:

Justin, I want to thank you for continuing to share these vital studies and resources. Your articles were invaluable as I prepared the case against masks in “Letter to the Oregon Health Authority” (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-the-oregon-health-authority), in which I demonstrated that masks:
• do not prevent the spread of COVID
• may cause physical health problems
• may inflict psychological harm
• pose a special threat to children and teens
I plan to create a generic version for broader use but wanted to share it in case your readers find it helpful.
Mike Yeadon wrote a very gracious introduction (https://t.me/robinmg/14694) to this piece:
“Margaret Ann[a] Alice’s remarkable ‘Letters to…’ series publishes this stunning work,
“If you read in full, save & share just one article today, please consider making it this one.”
You may also appreciate my “Letter to a Governing Body” (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-a-governing-body). It’s the generic version of my Washington State Board of Health letter, which Mike also recommended (https://t.me/robinmg/13847 and https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-the-washington-state-board/comment/4412170):
“This is simultaneously the best letter / technical summary AND among the best letters to politicians I’ve ever read. If you’re not moved by it, you’ve probably not understood the magnitude of the event it points to.”
“This is the most compelling summary of the sinister absurdity that is the Covid19 vaccination policy and also a powerful call to arms.”
