showing between 10 and upwards of 50% in some studies, but roughly they kind of fall between the 10% to 20% of all children who get diagnosed with covid-19 can develop long covid. what does that mean? we ve already seen studies that show these children who are exposed to covid-19 have a highly likelihood of being diagnosed with diagnosis. that s oneorgan, the pancreas. are the children going to have myocarditis, and what will it mean? the possibility of arrhythmia and interventions adults have to consider. what does it mean for the child when they complain of being fatigued? is it because they re developing covid brain, as we re calling this with adults? we know that studies are now showing that covid can interact and impair the receptor which is shown to be also impaired in alzheimer s. are wewe setting up our childre
. and we know that boosters help keep people out of the hospital, and from the er visits, right? and so it s not just a consequence of just hospitalization and death. we also know that there is a potential for long covid with these children, as well. we know that there are studies that show that if you re a patient or if your child has covid-19, you re 2.5 times more likely to be diagnosed with diabetes than if they do not have covid-19, because of the stress that it places on the body and on the pancreas in particular. we know that there are studies looking at covid brain and the developmental delays, or at least the cognitive delaysand inabilities to have an attention span that s greater than it was pre-covid infection. we don t know the long-term consequences of this. so why do we willingly expose our children, our babies, to have no voice in this process, when they re depending on adults to make adult decisions, not based on emotions, but based on science. reporter: dr. ebony hil
