Parents and children’s health advocates worry that the thousands of delayed or cancelled pediatric procedures due to COVID-19 will have a permanent impact on Canadian children.

Ivona Novak and Noah Mota are seen in this image.TORONTO -- Five-year-old Noah Mota is facing long-term health consequences due to the COVID-19 pandemic, even though he hasn’t contracted the disease.

“We don't know what the long-term effects are going to be,” Novak said. “We don't know yet, but there will be consequences.” At the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario in Ottawa, more than half of its pediatric surgeries were cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions, and doctors believe it could take up to two and a half years to catch up.

Kristopher Power is in a similar situationas Noah. The teenagerneeded leg braces because of a rare and terminal condition, but couldn’t get fitted for them due to COVID-19 restrictions. “When we received the diagnosis in January, we knew that he was going to eventually deteriorate, but because of being unable to get the equipment he needed, his deterioration was so fast and so rapid and it's irreparable, so it's not like we can go back now and try to put his feet in braces. It's far too late.”

Holy contradictory much. Last week the headlines were Covid effects much less pronounced in children. Pick a narrative

And what about if children GET COVID at school Think that would be an easy recovery Parents spouting the garbage of health issues due to school delays only want school as a babysitter. Kids r resilient but covid can KILL them

Keep the fear going look at actual numbers vs historical folks there is little to no risk of anything except communism

Parents should really be worried about children's safety in Canada.

That's because the delays will prove to be more damaging to children than the virus itself if it already hasn't already.

These are the same parents screaming that we should lock everything down indefinitely and are convinced Armageddon is coming.
