According to the latest data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), around 6.9% of adult Americans, which is around 17.6 million people, have long COVID (1). Defined as a chronic condition that "can last weeks, months or even years after COVID-19 illness," (2) long COVID severely impacts the quality of life for those affected (3). But what about the youth? A report (4) noted that around 6 million children are living with long COVID. However, not much is known about how to spot this condition among them, which makes it difficult for health care providers to help their patients. Fortunately, a pioneering group of researchers aim to fill in the gaps in a newly published study. Examining the Indicators of Long COVID Among the Youth "What prolonged symptoms experienced by youth are most associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection?"

In the context of emerging revelations of regulatory body incompetence and corruption, e.g. The Perseus Report , the WCH Health and Science Committee notes that: Several research studies now indicate that vaccinated children have far worse health outcomes with higher rates of many chronic diseases than non-vaccinated children. The integrity of scientific research and the regulatory process of childhood vaccines, including the new n...
