Less mixing between children due to COVID pandemic could be behind increased Strep A infections, says expert

Less mixing between children due to the pandemic could have caused a drop in immunity to infections such as Strep A, a leading expert has suggested.

However, the bacteria can sometimes get into the bloodstream or other parts of the body and become"invasive" and life threatening.

You had to be FOXNOISES little brother...🤔 That is HILARIOUS....

really? not repeated covid infections damaging their immune systems?

Let's settle this with an experiment on consenting adults, not children. Dr. Clarke can simply inoculate himself with (for example) S. pyogenes, then demonstrate how well he is protected by inoculating himself again with another Group A Streptococcus.

Err lockdown was quite a while ago now and children have been mixing since. Perhaps the transmission between children here, shows we were right to lock down !

I/How can anyone claim this when there was only one winter when schools were in lockdown&actually still open for key workers&vulnerable children. Might I also add some of the v young children getting very sick from RSV etc were not even born during the lockdowns.

Falsehood flies, and truth comes limping after it, so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late; the jest is over, and the tale hath had its effect: like a man, who hath thought of a good repartee when the discourse is changed, or the company parted..

57 weeks since the end of the last lockdown.

Sky Official News leaves up its dangerously misleading misinformation.

Yes but what to do about it now? Send the children to school in masks and that might help.

Think logically… less mixing two to three years ago makes bacteria more deadly today? Really? Do you hear yourself?

How are the kids in China doing? That had actual lockdowns. Here in Florida, people were having parties in April 2020 and beyond.

More proof the lockdowns were more damaging than beneficial

Lockdowns ended for school kids over 2 years ago. Younger kids weren't ever locked down. Mixing has been ongoing without mitigations hence why practically every single child has had a covid infection at least once.

This blog helpfully educates those gullible enough to trust your reporting. Immunity debt is a misinformation campaign. Anyone who clicked on that article NEEDS to read this immediately.

Bull$hit

bs

.

I’ve never heard anything so obviously wrong in my 74 years. Please get a second and keep getting further opinions until you find someone who knows what they’re talking about. Viruses and bacteria are spread by touch and airborne infection not from isolation.

You’re trying to gaslight us!!! There is no evidence of that …lockdown was ages ago, most of the age groups most affected are very young - many not even at school before lockdown and nurseries and child minders stayed open. Covid damages the immune system. Loads of evidence !!!

Utter rubbish, it’s too late to explain why but I will tomorrow!

C’mon sky. It’s barely plausible. We know our kids have been on holidays, in school, at clubs, shopping, cinema..we’ve been told “it’s over” since at least freedom day. Last year there was lots of RSV. There’s lots of “not covid” bugs been doing the rounds for months & months !

Or Covid has destroyed their immune systems - which it has.

Is this the same info that said children don't get Covid and don't get Covid in schools. When we all know it was a lie. How about saying Covid is the number one factor. Covid weaken all our immune system over the last 3 years. Leaving a rise in all other virus.

we all know it's covid ...not the lockdowns

This, is purposeful eugenics and criminal act .

Crackpot.

Stop gaslighting the public and tell us how many times these children had been infected with Covid!!

This is bollox.

Sky, can you please take your heads out of the dark moist place where they are stuck and start reporting the science.

Evidence?

Sky Lies Sky Misinformation

Nobody believes this, there is no evidence. This is fake news so stop spreading misinformation without any scientific evidence. It’s covid-damaged immune systems

🍆🍆

Rightly being called out by TONS of people & experts for the nonsense, scaremongering, excuse making for current Long COVID assessments that show it’s a huge problem going forward. (1)

Haha you guys did herd immunity by infection (a fool's errand) via kids by not masking, making sure they were in school, close together. Your kids there have mixed more than a margarita. What rubbish.

What a load of bollocks. That’s why I stopped watching or following your rubbish ages ago.

So a couple of months where kids didn’t see as much of their mates 2 years ago is now killing them? I think not!! Stop peddling dangerous misinformation - report the truth… repeat infection with a novel, immune damaging virus is the cause! Do some research and stop the misinfo!

More made up rubbish

“Could be” - where’s the evidence ?

ermmm less mixing? weren't they still going to school ?

Nope. Covid infections have damaged children's immune systems leaving them open to more serious injury or fatality from infections.

Well done everyone. We did try to warn you

Could it... Aye. Did he... Aye.

Rubbish! Covid has caused Kawasaki, Long Covid and now Step A. Covid weakens the immune system.

Appalling gaslighting. You wheel out a single 'expert' who speculates something for which there is no evidence and no logic, given the nature and timing of the 'lockdown', but you ignore ALL the evidence of the impact on the immune system from a Covid infection.

Absolute bullshit! As we all know schools never closed fully. The only main lockdown was Mar 20 to July 20. all key worker children were still in school, Nurseries & childminders never closed. Kids mixed all along & never wore masks! Covid has affected immune system of kids

Ignored the rules of lockdown, refused vax and the whole family is in perfect health. 🥰

Why have we never seen homeschooled kids, or even astronauts, suffer from this so-called “immunity debt” from less mixing? It’s total BS. And something that’s never been applied to any other disease. Why don’t we abandon condoms, “build immunity” to STIs? Dirty water: hi cholera!

Still parroting the “less mixing” narrative? STILL? Schools never closed to keyworkers. Our school was open to all from June 2020, bar Jan 21–March 21. Primary, so no masks. London, so overcrowded. Soft plays, nurseries, cinemas, etc, open for 18 months now. It doesn’t add up…

What he really said is popn wide drop in immunity could cause increase cases .... anyone who has been following the science known young children remain unvaxxed but continually exposed to covid , and will have had multiple covid infections (in UK) and covid damages imm sys ....

Who is the expert?!! I wonder?

WRONG: unmitigated covid infections it's what is weakening children immune systems

It's all nonsense us homeschoolers know its B.S

Or it could be the covid vaccine has weaker our natural immune system Every thing that has happened since 2020 are about reducing the worlds populatulion Covid The vaccine the war in Ukraine food and energy shotages

Seriously? Most Early Years Education in UK closed late-March to 1st June 2020 - less than 3 months. Children have been mixing for 18 months. Big thing that has changed is that they're now constantly reinfected with Covid, shown to impact on immune system for up to 8 months.

LOL garbage Compromised immune systems from previous Covid infections the most likely reason Oops

My children had it years ago, they got over it

Deep down, I think everyone knows immune dysfunction is a consequence of COVID infection. No one wants to acknowledge that because it’s horrendous to think we’ve damaged our children. Instead, we pretend it’s because we were too cautious & protected them too well with lockdowns

Children are still mixing in schools and they should be to build up healthy immune systems. The difference is uncontrolled illegal immigration.

Interesting that these Strep A, Monkeypox etc started appearing only when COVID started disappearing.

I thought kids had mixed so much that most were positive for Covid?

“Could” is doing a LOT of heavy lifting there. Could also be covid induced immune dysregulation

Stop propagating this evidenceless 'immunity debt' nonsese. You're supposed to be journalists, try doing some research!

This is a lie.Covid is causing so much damage to our immune systems. Start researching reliable scientific evidence and not chasing headlines. Tell the truth to the people of this country. They deserve that.

yet more blood on sage's hands.

We should have locked down everything for 2 weeks including supermarkets. Doubled staff pay who worked in health care and just got back on with life. This common cold has ruined our country.

You were all warned this would happen by the 'tinfoil hat brigade'. We might not be qualified but by fxck we get it right don't we? You put fat pensioners before children, may god forgive you.

You mean the lockdowns you and others were screaming for every 5 minutes. Others saw this coming and were called conspiracy theorists.

Who’d have thought

Let me rewrite that headline with some facts. 'Less mixing between Children due to LOCKDOWN'S that were completely useless and caused more harm than good, behind increase in Strep A infections'.

You mean due to lockdown don’t you

Are these one of the scientists that were telling us to lockdown?

You don’t say! Thank God for those “experts” eh? 😳

And it was 'news' organisations like yourself and the BBC who were frothing at the mouth for longer harder lockdowns. You all have blood on your hands. Some of us will never forget.

4 months of school closures over 3 years , that's a stretch to presume this

fact: repeated covid infections have been shown to significantly decrease the body's ability to fight off infection fact: strep A is a common bacteria that doesn't usually bother us because our immune systems take care of it fact: we let our children get covid over and over

No shit

I have benefited so much from his excellent trading technique Elisa_Grondin Beginning this journey I started up with R1000, within few days I got a return of R8500. Her experience and trustworthiness is unmatched

No one anywhere followed known effective procedures for getting through a pandemic save for a few small nations like Sweden. Have you seen the most recent stats from Sweden? Following CCP lockdown strategy will result in more dead in the long run.

Just the beginning, nutters

Glad we ignored the rules.

Or.. you wrecked their immune systems with an experiment

Less mixing 🙄 you can say lockdown

There's a surprise. All worth while to save a 90 year old though eh.

Was bound to happen.. Big mistake locking down should have carried on as normal..
