An alternative to the “no germs” theory of ⬆️ respiratory infections: Over 80% of the population has now been exposed to Covid and it’s been shown you can be immunosuppressed months after infection. So our increased infection rate, may be due to our increased infection rate. 🤯
What’s the data in support of this theory? Cohorts of children born both before AND after peak pandemic shutdowns have been observed to have higher RSV admissions than those born during shutdowns. I.e. the risk correlate wasn’t lack of exposure to RSV, but exposure to Covid. 🤔
@JeromeAdamsMD Thankful for critical thinkers like you! If lockdowns were to blame then surely TX, literally banned schools from masking, would not be having same pediatric crisis?
@BlueSatori @JeromeAdamsMD But we saw these exact same headlines about Texas Childrens hospitals being overwhelmed by RSV, adenovirus and rhinoviruses in late August 21 when according to CDC estimates less than 30% of kids had been infected with Covid.
@BlueSatori @JeromeAdamsMD Exactly same with Florida. People mingled during the lockdown & masks were never a thing data.rgj.com/covid-19-hospi…
