New anti-vaccine conspiracy claim aimed at the Pfizer shot

These people have come up with a new conspiracy claim about the shot. It’s no more credible than their old conspiracy theories, but lying hasn’t stopped them before, so why would it stop them now? The new theory is complicated. It relies on the technicalities of government vaccine approval rules — specifically on a tortured interpretation of those rules. That’s not surprising: Conspiracy theorists often aim to ply the inexpert masses with plausible-sounding but inaccurate legalisms in order to sow confusion.

The scale of COVID-19 mortality in the United States, including among prime-age adults, merits efforts to continuously track how many children are affected by parental death.

Children who lose a parent are at elevated risk of traumatic grief, depression, poor educational outcomes, and unintentional death or suicide, and these consequences can persist into adulthood.1 Sudden parental death, such as that occurring owing to COVID-19, can be particularly traumatizing for children and leave families ill prepared to navigate its consequences.

Moreover, COVID-19 losses are occurring at a time of social isolation, institutional strain, and economic hardship, potentially leaving bereaved children without the supports they need. We estimated the expected number of affected children for each COVID-19 death (the parental bereavement multiplier), allowing us to track parental bereavement as the pandemic evolves. Table.

'Brain fog' can linger with long-haul COVID-19, study says. As researchers work to learn more about COVID-19 and so-called long-haulers, a new study suggests "brain fog" can persist and even worsen for those who were infected months before.

Long-haulers continue to have symptoms long after their COVID diagnosis, and these symptoms can be mental as well as physical. "People have trouble problem-solving, or they get in the car and forget where they're supposed to be going," said study author Leonard Jason, a psychologist at DePaul University in Chicago. The researchers compared long-haulers' complaints with those with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, or ME/CFS.

Patients with ME/CFS have long-term symptoms possibly triggered by the Epstein-Barr virus or for other unknown reasons. The team defined long-haul COVID-19 as having serious, prolonged symptoms three months after contracting the virus. Rapid school reopenings may have led to thousands of COVID cases, hundreds of deaths in Texas. A plan to rapidly reopen schools in Texas may have contributed to thousands of COVID-19 cases and hundreds of deaths, according to an analysis by economists and public policy experts from the University of Kentucky. The analysis, which has not yet been peer reviewed, used a statistical model to estimate that roughly 43,000 people contracted COVID-19 and 800 people possibly died in Texas two months after schools reopened statewide, when virus transmission already was high. The research highlights how in-person learning and its potential "spillover" can affect nearby communities.

Though it isn't clear how many of those reported infections and deaths were teachers or where the deaths occurred, the data shows "robust evidence that reopening Texas schools gradually but substantially accelerated the community spread of COVID-19. " In Texas, schools reopened under Texas Education Agency guidelines that mandated mask wearing, reporting positive cases and health screenings for staff and students.
