💔Heart Dysfunction💔

Previously Healthy Children w/Asymptomatic or Mild COVID Infection

This is one study but taken together with what we already know, this is tragic. This shows deformation or dysfunction of the Left Ventrical (LV) after asymptomatic or mild COVID in previously healthy children.

An earlier study showed us that young adults were dying more from heart issues, than older adults. “The predicted mortality rates, was most pronounced for the youngest (25–44 years) ages, ranging from 23% to 34% for the youngest compared to 13%–18% for the oldest age groups." (1)

It was conducted through the more recent “period of the Omicron surge (10/2021–3/2022)" "excess AMI-associated mortality being most pronounced in younger-aged adults."(1)

Ages 25 - 44 years old are less vaccinated than 50 - 65 yr olds or the most vaccinated 65 - 95 yr olds, so no this isn’t the vax. If not the vax then why? Because the 25 to 44 year olds are working age & they are often parents of children in unmitigated schools.

➡️ Age 25 to 44 yr olds are more likely to be reinfected with COVID. ⬅️

The study on asymptomatic or mild COVID in children “demonstrated for the first time the persistence of Left Ventrical (LV) myocardial deformation abnormalities in previously healthy children with an asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic." (2)

They had "an average follow-up of 148 ± 68 days. A more significant involvement was found in children affected during the second wave." (2)

That suggests that as the virus evolved to become more immune evasive/suppressive the risk increased. That is terrible news if accurate because the variants today are much more efficient at evading and attacking the immune system and also many other cell types including those found in the heart.

“Subclinical LV dysfunction may also be a typical characteristic of COVID infection in children"(1)

If this is typical than we may have already unleashed untold damage on millions of children. What’s occurring will be likely be worse in children with current variants. The path we are on is unsustainable. "Particularly concerning given the predictive value of LV longitudinal strain in the general population."(1)

COVID is a immune system damaging disease causing vascular, neurological, musculoskeletal, & cognitive dysfunction, persisting in organ tissue, including the brain.

This is Preventable.
