“Anyone with young children will quickly agree that our kids seem to be getting more sick, and sick more often than in the past,” said Rodney Russell, a professor of immunology and virology at Memorial University of Newfoundland.Sign up to receive the daily top stories from the National Post, a division of Postmedia Network Inc.By clicking on the sign up button you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.
There isn’t one, but several factors at play, including a lack of primary care in the community and a shortage of children’s pain and fever medications parents have been grappling with since late summer.Article content “Because we didn’t see these viruses in the last few years, we’re seeing them all come together, and there isn’t that immunity that we usually see in older children.”
“So, if all of us, not just children have now had a couple of ‘germ-free’ years, then all of us may have lower antibody levels than we might have had without masking,” and other public health interventions, he said.Article content Dr. Mona Jabbour, interim chief of CHEO’s department of pediatrics: “In previous years, younger babies would have had these illnesses, and by the time they’re aged two, three, four, they have some immunity.”Mucus starts plugging the small airways. Young children “come in for bronchiolitis, they come in for pneumonia, they may require oxygen therapy, they may require respiratory support to help them breathe,” said Dr.
idonttrustit Yes and we tried warning people But no..fear once again lead people's thoughts Thanks fearmongers
stop pumping the children full of experimental vaccines
The vax did
No they Covid get sicker shot did
Really reaching here sharon_kirkey How about doing some research into the correlation of removing mask mandates and the increase of Covid, RSV, Flu, etc. and then put that together with the hospital staffing crisis.
Major reporting fail here. Why did the article not even mention the possibility that covid infections are compromising children's immune systems?
Healthy children have very strong innate immune systems which react very quickly to unknown pathogens and usual recover quickly. Are doctors checking vaccinated status either by injections or through mother's vaccinated status and breast feeding?
No... vaccine destroyed immune system!!
The mRNA test drug is hurting and killing more people than the Wuhan virus did.
Maybe, but isn't it more like the vaccine has destroyed the immune system ADE. As many doctors suggested would happen? Stop gaslighting us.
miketmcmullen Stop giving them the poison vaccination
Cons: Let's let it rip and let covid infect every kid. Kids: *get sick* Cons:
Its called forcing them to wear masks.
It’s the 💉
It is baffling
How are you still in business?
Nope, the vaccines caused the 'immunity debt' STOP COVERING UP THE TRUTH YOU KNOW WHATS HAPPENING.
Masks created this
That and experimental gene therapy mRNA injections were also used on children even though the early data showed many different adverse reactions and immunity issues and 800% higher myocarditis rates in young people after vaccination.
No such thing. NeverVoteConservative BringBackMasks
Oh yeah! The jab killed their T cells. Now they are more vulnerable to any disease. Kids have the bigger load of immunity at least until they reach puberty. The jab now changed that. And the responsible ones want amnesty? CrimesAgainstChildren
Shocking! No one in a million years could have predicted this! 🤡
And the terrible masks 😷
Hmmm , not to mention they were forced to wear the most disgusting dirty face masks and were breathing in bacteria all day long.
Probably not ...but something did......hmmmmm😗
Your immune system is compromised when you are isolated that’s why lockdowns and social distancing was a mistake
It doesn't help that parents can't get medicine to bring down their child's fever so they rush them to the hospital for help. Just maybe if we were able to get children's tylenol, less kids would be hospitalized.
That...and this:
“Vaccinations” causing the spikes
The question to ask is there something in common they all had done to them?
where’s the stats on the vaccination status of the hospitalized children?
sunlorrie All I know is I had the measles, The Mumps, Chicken pox,! The Flu twice! Strangely my children have not suffered these viruses! personally I would say don't interfere with your immune system! Babies don't even have an immune system until they are six weeks old!
The most accurate forecaster of Covid, Geert Vanden Bossche had predicted this long ago. They prevented kids Innate immunity and now they are making it worse. Parents who vaccinated their kids will regret what they have done.
And likely the poison the parents injected on these innocent kids.
Duh
CVID Vaxxed children is what's happening
Gee, you think?
Children's hospitalizations are spiking you say. Medical professionals likened what could be awaiting for us is something out of a horror movie. Yeah, again all anecdotal. You have a responbility to report the news and not to distort the true nature of reality with anecdotes
Check the textbook, ImmunityDebt™️ isn’t a thing.
They created a mental health debt. We don’t know the effects of the experimental mRNA yet though.
Yes.
Well duh.
We love to experiment on our children - then scratch our heads about the effects
Probably a good amount of truth there.
Or did vaccinations cause immunodeficiency?
Oh yeah it was the Covid something but not the lockdown.
Duh
vaccineinjuries VaccineDeaths CrimesAgainstHumanity Nuremberg2 TrudeauForTreason
Well when children are injected with questionable fluids, health issues are likely
Professionals who warned about this were viciously attacked. GFY.
Yup flue season is here..... oh I'm sorry covid.
'Child hospitalizations are spiking. Did COVID lockdowns create an 'immunity debt'?' Pay back time ! Sterilized the kids for 2 years, bingo! .
Yup, thanks again Dr. Fauchi.
Vaccine injuries are hard to avoid when it's your own children maimed and dying, isn't it.
You think?
No but the vaccines destroyed people’s immune systems. 🤷🏽♂️
No
You in the media are complicit in these crimes against humanity
um i seem to remember Dr's being cancelled for saying this would be the outcome of lockdown, same as spousal and child abuse, drug and alcohol, and suicide. But hey you were following POLITICAL SCIENCE.
There are always hospitalizations this time of year. It's the start of Flu season. Like the past 200+ years.
Many a young under 1 year...most have breathing problem...only thing in common is almost all of these baby have vaccinated mother...
Wait, so the 'lockdowns' worked?
I don't suppose the limit of over the counter medication would have anything to do with the overflow?
Why? The “top doctors” told us kids are at lower risk of covid when THEY wanted the kids back in school. What changed
Absolutely correct!
How many of these kids had the shot?
Unmasking kids in poorly ventilated schools that Ford did not make safe, has caused this f7cking mess.
there is no such ting as immunity debt. It's real sad that the media doesn't consult epidemiologist and immunologists on this
The Covid vaccines are causing it
Oh yes! That's what they want! To lower the immunity system in children, so to get more $$$$$ in their Pharma Stocks!
Many of us said that and were called ridiculous, now here we go. The masking and lockdowns didn’t do any favour for kids.
define 'immunity debt'
Yes Yes and Yes
Not really , the juice did though
It seems no one considered how important it is to maintain a healthy immune system. Sheltering our kids from a virus that didn’t really impact them has hurt them more than it helped them. But hey, at least the teachers got 2.5 years off.
In Ontario not only do they have sick kids but uneducated kids who will never catch up. When your kids grows up and don’t have the grades to get into university or get a good paying job, thank the unions
my 3 year old went to hospital becaus he jammed 3 pebbles in his ear. He also had a cough, I'm betting that Alberta Health Servicea classifies him as a covid patient
No, the after effects of the covid jab create an immunity death. Spike protein kills the immune system...but then you already knew that.
2 things that went out the window & almost nobody said anything was 'herd immunity' & 'immunity debt' as we are now told to get a shot every 3 months or less Covid is a FLU simply NOW we have PHD's claiming flu shots prevent strokes at UofC ... how was that line drawn?
sunlorrie How dare you 😅😂🤣😂😅😂🤣 you guys are just getting funnier every minute
Maybe the VAXX did...
sunlorrie Yep
More lies... everyone who is paying attention knows that the shots cause immunity problems.
If thousands of normal people saw this coming even as far back as spring 2020, why couldn't public health? Why are we paying them six-figure salaries to be catastrophically wrong about everything?
The lockdowns to a degree but most detrimental are the experimental vaccines.
sunlorrie Covid mandates controlled& encouraged precautions for ourselves. After3 years youWould think we would know enough to protect ourselves without being told. So covid is going to tell us who's the Boss, covid or the people who don't want a vaccine & wouldn't care if it killed us all
Covid lockdowns we’re useless and criminal …
You think? Sarcasm.. put a muzzle on children, 2 yrs, keep them isolated.. god forbid parents actually injected their children with phase 3 trails of this concoction, I'd be interested in how many children are sick that have been injected vs natural immunity.
Right wing rag says what
Duh?
Would this have something to do with it? If the C-Vax lowers the Killer T-Cell count (Killer T-Cells are needed to fight off diseases) in adults than it probably does so in children.
Of course.
Lockdowns and social distancing had killed the economy, human relations and now our kids and tomorrow the functioning adults. immunity debt: a concept described as an unintended boomerang effect of distancing, masking and other COVID containment measures used to slow its spread.
Yes. My kids barely had a sniffle in 2020 and 2021, and this fall it's all hell break loose in my house. Sickness after sickness since Sept. Runny nose, cough and fever is the menu of the day everyday. This proved how incredibly irresponsible social distancing and masking was.
Only for the vaccinated they have no immune response anymore
...duh
FFS. Stop using our sick, terrified, traumatized kids coming through a pandemic as political fodder for your nasty games
TBOFCanada Children need to be outside playing in the dirt and exposed to other people and germs and eat a healthy diet rather than sitting all day behind a screen.
Maybe one day there will be real journalism.
This media has lost common sense !!! How stupid can we make people ? We even renamed Corona Virus because people stopped buying Corona Beer. Now, 'immunity debt'. ?!?!.. debt in benchmark to who ? THE ARROGANT JERK THAT BLAMES CHILDREN? its pathetic !
Healthcare is provincial.
Maybe it's an 'immunity river'!
💯
Who else thinks all of the spikes in hospitalizations are due to the jab? 🙋♂️
No. They didn’t. Please take your head out of your ass and stop posting misinformation. Thank you
Damaging the immune systems of children. Might want to look into the causes of that. No, lockdowns had no benefit for children, as was clearly established by Sweden. Some countries paid attention. Then, you had one of the most pro-lockdown places in the world, Ontario, Canada.
Immunity debt= Atmospheric river
Yup guaranteed this is what's happening right now.
interesting take - did the National Post create an intelligence debt? Hmmm?
Are there superposed bacterial infections not being prescribed antibiotics quickly enough resulting in hospitalization? Or is this a prime example of antibody dependent enhancement?
Do bears shit in the woods?
In addition to the 'vaccine' and hours of masking every day. Yes.
Anything to do with children's Tylenol not being available for the last few months? No choice bug going to hospital if there is no early treatment.
No you terminated a generation with the clot shot.
Yes. 100 percent. Almost half the kids are sick right now.
Poison death AIDS jab created an immunity deficit.
Ya think....of course it did!!
Or did the Vax lower immune systems
Or... surprise, ignoring an ongoing pandemic does not end it. ffs
Among other things.
Natural immunity…. Where did it go? One would have expected responsible health and governmental leadership to promote natural wellbeing in the face of a pandemic. They did not! No health guides prepared showing the benefits of vitamins and exercise. Just harmful lockdowns!
So this population reduction conspiracy might be happening after all. Target the kids and the elderly and sick will look after themselves
They sure did
It could possibly be related to the cool vax that “hacks your immune system” to quite the Moderna ceo.. perhaps hacking one’s immune system isn’t such a great idea after all?
The vaccines did.
. . . .
I'm glad we've delayed RSV infections in young people. That will lead to better outcomes overall. Sad that it had to come at such a high cost in other areas of life, but at least that's one silver lining.
Or is it Covid itself?
Why do media keep dancing around the elephant in the room? What could a possible cause be?
Can’t be! That’s just crazy alt-right conspiracy talk!
No. Lack of access to children’s tylenol is forcing them to go to the hospital so they can become the statistics required to push an evil narrative. Quite disgusting really.
Somebody should be in jail for this,right?
Let’s stop referring to the FLU as Covid shall we.
Thanks ill read the dead-tree version.
Of course it did.
Anything to blame the lockdowns, and essentially, attack JT...even though it was a majority of Prov Conservative Govts who imposed lockdowns and mask mandates for schools....Selective memory here eh
Yes...their culling plan that just keeps maiming and taking lives and has so much evolutionay potential for riches to big pharma, politicians, sociopaths,...it was a carefully planned revamped hitler scheme to redesign a super race of lords and minions..on steroids..joe player
lol, maybe the experimental shot for Covid is the problem, but all of you media parties supported that and attacked those who didn't want the shot, Hmmm?
How come Canada is the only country in the world with a shortage of tylenol and advil for children?. Thats why everyone is at the hospitals.
Go_Gaels No the vaccines did!
yes. No question. Well recognized in Quebec medical circles.
The test is Atlantic Canada where masking and school closures were minimal
Yes
🤔 just reading the headline but my guess is probably
Child hospitalizations are spiking proteins. There, fixed for you!
Yes
Yes.
Safe and effective never hurnt no one. Don't say it was the vaccine.. Remember never hurt non one ever...😃😄😁😆😅😂🤣
Yes, and what is worse is that we knew of the harms and the lack of any benefits to kids back in March and April of 2020. Links below.
Yes
No, vaccines did.
This is why Europe is taking Pfizer to court for 30 billion the Vax is causing all kinds of issues
Things that should have been asked 2 f$&ing years ago!!
90%of them will be vaccinated the other 10%will be normal visits the vaccine is screwing with every one everything from cancer neurological issues to mass harm attacks blood clots Europe has woken up and did actual studies the vaccinated are seeing 1000% increas in everything
Media literacy pro tip: Any headline phrased as a question immediately can be dismissed as bullshit.
It’s the vaccine
Duuuuhhhhhh
More anti-scientific misinformation from a trash publication.
I thought they didn’t work? And masks don’t work? How can this be true?
The lockdowns were wr5on5g yet Trudeau has said he may do them again if we dont get boosters, they learned nothing.
I wonder if Swedish children are hospitalized/dying more now. They didn't vaccinate their kids under 12 at all. Anybody know?
Hmmmm could it be the untested injection?
Yes: but maybe you could hire a 'journalist' *we'll give you time to look up the big words we'll be using today
Just like monetary debt, there is no free lunch. Our kids paid during the past two years, they are now paying in the present, and they will have to pay for our mistakes in the future. Opt out.
No.
Never was always an unhealthy kid. ( Louie Season 3)
How many Jabbed?
'Child hospitalizations are spiking. Did COVID VACCINES create an 'immunity debt'?' FIFY
This is dangerous far-right disinformation. But you already know that. EndThePostSubsidy PoilievrePropaganda
Yup
Yes we should have allowed thousands more die and live with severe long term complications so that kids wouldn't have a slightly more intensive colds or flus this year. FFS people could you actually display some degree of humanity.
No.
There were plenty of experts warning about this 2 years ago. But since their views on covid and restrictions differed from the narrative you all ignored them and went with the fear porn 24/7.
Lol no wtf
Nice job moving the goal post. It's not that covid is still rampant and kids are undervaccinated, it's they all should have gotten it sooner. Impressive level of bullshit
gandhsleeman Probably
Keeps getting better
How do you know it's Friday without being told it's Friday? Media starts shoving out the latest propaganda of how we all gonna die...
Pretty telling that you point to no RVS in 2020 but ignore in 2021, there was a much higher wave of RVS than today without an ICU crisis & don’t mention the research pointing to SARS-2 infections deregulating the immune system.
No..But, it sure created Journelistic Integrity Debt...Are you guys trying to be like REBEL MEDIA?
Covid is still circulating in new mutations. We don't have immunity to it. Duh! BringBackMasks as a layer of protection! We have NO idea how Covid impacts the future growth and development of children who deserve protection. Vaccinate and Mask
/tried to minimize children from catching a contagious disease in the air for 2 years /government stops doing that /kids getting sick more frequently at school 'Is this immunity debt'
Let your kids get dirty playing outside,let them hang around sick friends,builds immunity.
Of course it did. And you and all other media calling for lockdowns and masks are to blame
WHAT ?.....where do you get this dumb info?
yes of course they did. this is why Europe opened up and removed masks long before we had.
We have also learned that flu seasons often cycle in severity from elderly to young often. At least that is what the medical community have been telling us for years!
There is no such thing
'Immunity debt' another nice new phrase invented by who? And it certainly was intentional! Medical degree or not people know that young ones build their immunity and it continues to grow & needs to be 'exercised' even as adults.
miketmcmullen Yes.
Mindless drivel.
dkreative1 Or the jab ruin their immunity?
- What occurred in 2021/22 that was different from any other year in history ? - What everyone 'Wanted' was instant health in a convenient vial, without the discipline of critical thinking or rational analysis - So you could travel to a beach ... ' AIDS ' is What You Got !!!
School closures a silver lining? Containing infections?
Yes along with masking, and covid 'vaccines'
I sure hope we seriously look into this. We need to know if there is a next time.
Wrong!
Piling more bs on the pile of bs. ‘Immunity debt’ is a recently made up word with no context in reality or science. See thread
Dumb lockdown policy. Eg; Lockdown Scarborough but keep Vaughan open so everyone who had transportation went to Vaughan. brilliant eh? Me-thinks the Torys' suffered brain damage long before covid could be made the scapegoat.
Sweden does not have the same problem right now. Make of that what you will.
The flu this year knocked my kids out for 10 days. Over reacting to covid was the biggest mistake in modern times. Both economically and medically.
If I remember correctly the Provincial Gov'ts were responsible for lockdowns and Ontario sadly has a useless PC Gov't
They fully well knew what they were doing.
dkreative1 Yes!
Yes
Get real
Lockdowns are the cover up. Injecting them with a failed product that compromised their immune systems is the real story.
PaidMediaWhores
How is the world just asking this now? Of course isolating children and lock downs harmed their immune systems and more. Emergency use authorization jabs with no long term safety studies probably aren’t helping either.
Thank you to Canada and our Liberal government for protecting us.
The shot is the issue
Ya if the trudope and libs get off there butts and get some pain medication for children this would not be so bad for hospitals
No.
There was MORE rsv flu last year. The hospitalization rise is from wiped out immune systems that can’t FIGHT it off. That is from getting COVID.
yawn
dkreative1 Rsv season
You think?
Yes, it would seem so. But not just for children. Seems the price of lockdown was much higher than just inflation. ⬇️⬇️⬇️
…”immunity debt”
Wow for not being an expert my scenario running is spot on. Not challenging your immune system? Bad idea. Remember in 1492, smallpox sailed the ocean blue. It wasn't till the late 1700's that Edward Jenner first discovered immunology. No exposure = bad idea.
Yup.
Or maybe MDs need to open up their family practice to see ppl with cold symptoms in person? Hmm, couldn't possibly be an expected resurgence of common cold/flu aggravated by lack of access to family medicine. OntariosDoctors
Garbage article. Real journalism would have follow up questions to these experts like “but red states had few lockdowns and yet had massive RSV surges last fall. Shouldn’t that debt have already been repaid, despite seeing surges once again this fall?”
That and other things….💉. My sons GF has been sick with a wicked cold for 7 days. Yesterday she had to sit outside because she couldn’t breath. This isn’t normal.
No, it did not. But Covid had something to do with it.
Short answer, yes. Human to human contact is what creates immunity against most of our most (common) diseases. Research is being done as we speak aa to how much our natural immune systems have suffered. A few years before data is reliable to conclude.
Yep more harm caused from isolation. Children (and their parents) build up their immunity from school crowds. Can’t live in a sterilized environment.
YOU THINK!?!!
No. Just kids Wernt around each other to get sick last couple years simple really
Allow myself to quote myself.
twojjrs because dr's offices won't treat them anymore they just ship them off to the hospital
Say you don't understand how science works without saying that you don't understand how science works
🤔🤔isn’t that what the antivaxers, conspiracy theorists, and the now discredited doctors said would happen?
Many doctors and other non scientists predicted this with masks and lockdowns. The doctors were suspended by their regulator after the communists ( liberals) complained that someone dared challenge The Science™️ with real science and immunology.
Fuk around with nature and find out...
Lots of parents are scared because of 2 years of fear
When I boarded my dog to travel briefly last year, after I returned, the kennel asked me to monitor her for kennel cough. I was told it was spreading because during the lockdowns most dogs were not boarded, were kept apart and didn’t have the immunity. Thankfully, she was OK.
lockdowns, masks and vaccines did more harm than good.
Yes
Masks and vaxxes
Bet your ass. Imagine the damage all the handwashing with 90% alcohol has done to people's skin.
No that was the vac obviously
Might be time to start listening to the conspiracy theorists. Who do not gain financially from their predictions and who have been right about everything.
PublicHealth
Of course.....the immune system need's training to keep in shape,specially children as their immune syztem is naive.Same goes with the Covid shot....stay away,
No the vaccine did.
Safe and effective. What percentage of child hospitalizations are Covid vaccinated?
Those most impacted weren't even born during pandemic. Stop spreading false science. There is no such thing as immunity debt. What there is though is weakened immune systems from covid exposure.
No such thing but it did kill the immune system
No such thing ..do your homework before this kind of article is posted ! So you would write, flu is immunity debt ? I don't think so !
OMG it's all bad enough watching what the GOP is doing in the States but to actually see the National Putz do the same thing in Canada is disconcerting at worst and infuriating at best.
Fuck sucks. Who owns you rupertmurdoch ?
Yes, they did - and anyone who said so back then, during the flu scamdemic, was labeled a conspiracy theorist antivaxxer. No Amnesty for the C19 perps.
'shortage of children’s pain and fever medications parents have been grappling with since late summer.' What is JustinTrudeau doing to help?
no fever relievers for Children in Canada
Wow it's almost like we have built in viral protection called 'an immune system' and the extreme external measures to thwart an unstoppable virus over the past 3 years were not only unnecessary but actually harmful.
Leading scientists/physicians/immunologists warned about this in 2020. They were attacked by those in power and the media as spreading 'disinformation'.
Why can’t the mainstream media ever tell the truth 🤥💰🤥💰🤥💰🤥💰
No it’s another respiratory illness probably another mutant of COVID
Science - herd immunity
YOU THINK? 🙄
Nope. Covid created the immunity debt. It attacks the same cells as hiv. But you know, keep getting infected every 2 months 🙄
THETRUEMEANINGOFFREEDOM
I can see this as a possibility.
Breathing mask fibres/CO2, and the jab. They knew this would happen, plenty of Doctors spoke of this eventuality but were censored.
Click bait trash from the NP? I’m shocked!
Doubtful, did Covi-19 continue to morph, mutate while we became blissfully ignorant to its existence & flu season start = yes. Masks, pfft & shots to diminish impact available but lets be anti-vaccine, science while at it.
When do the REAL hearings start?
RSV hospitalizations..... and influenza. Spiking, because we've prevented kids from being kids from being kids. Now they have no immune system. Lockdowns crushed them mentally, and also physically.
Vax tax
Yep!
Lockdowns did more harm than good.
