Long Covid Less Likely with Children - Canadian Study

Another thing less likely with children - Covid jabbination, especially repeated one.

“Rates of long COVID significantly lower among children compared to adults: Canadian study” (CTV News, 2023.12.29):

A new study led by Canadian researchers has found that the rates of long COVID among children are substantially lower compared to adults.

It's unclear how common long COVID is among adults who become infected with SARS-CoV-2, but according to the researchers, estimates made in various studies range between 7.5 per cent and 45 per cent.

Comparatively, the researchers noted that "very few infected children" develop post-COVID condition, as only 0.67 per cent of the children in the cohort who tested positive met the definition of long COVID.

80 per cent of the study participants were under the age of eight, which means the results may be "less generalizable to older children," the researchers wrote.

Looking at the study itself (Table 2), the vaccinated children had 41.3% higher propensity to get tested positive after “vaccination”. Overall, only about 10% of children got the jab(s):

The study also states that:

…just over one-half of unvaccinated children had SARS-CoV-2 spike antibodies indicative of infection and/or vaccination following the peak of the Omicron wave.

What about the “vaccinated”? Of course, they were all antibody-positive, but which antibodies? Any antibodies to nuclear capsid, indication prior infection? Alas, the study authors were too canning to provide this level of detail.

In any case, the argument that you have to jab children with untested-but-definitely-harmful-and-life-threatening mRNA concoction to prevent “Long Covid” doesn’t tread water. Another similar study out of the UK, the first of that kind, actually, was “Post-COVID-19 condition at 6 months and COVID-19 vaccination in non-hospitalised children and young people” (Arch Dis Child, Apr. 2023):

Objectives: To describe the physical and mental health of children and young people (CYP) 6 months after infection with SARS-CoV-2 and explore whether this varies by COVID-19 vaccination.

Results: Six months post-test, 24.5% of test-positive and 17.8% of test-negative CYP met our Delphi research definition of long COVID. …symptomatology was similar among COVID-19-vaccinated and COVID-19-unvaccinated test-positive and test-negative CYP.

Acknowledging only 10% of CYP were vaccinated by 6 months post-test, we found little difference in symptoms, mental health or well-being at 6 months in vaccinated and unvaccinated PCR-positive and PCR-negative CYP. Indeed, EQ-5D-Y scores were somewhat worse and self-rated health lower, for the vaccinated group, which could represent self-selection of more severely affected CYP undergoing vaccination or self-selection of respondents.

Data from this subsample suggest that a COVID-19 vaccination policy based on reducing long-term symptoms in adolescents might not be efficacious.

Here, the results are 40 times (!) worse in terms of the odds of being qualified for Long Covid, although the age cohort is quite different - 11-17 year-olds vs 8 year-olds, as well as the applied definition of Long Covid may have been much more loose.

As for the aforementioned 7.5-43% of adults with “Long Covid”, there have been widely differing reports, from huge benefit of jabs (4-fold benefit in “Covid-19 vaccine effectiveness against post-covid-19 condition among 589 722 individuals in Sweden: population based cohort study”, BMJ, 2023.10.16) to no benefit (“Vaccines offer little protection against long Covid, study finds”, NBC News, 2022.05.25). And also, some reports of straight Long Vax (“Rare link between coronavirus vaccines and Long Covid–like illness starts to gain acceptance”, Science, 2023.07.03). How’s that for a benefit! As the results vary so much, someone must be lying.
