Today in CDC’s weekly update

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/covid-variant-jn1-flu-surge-hospitals-cdc-warns/

they reported a steady rise in MIS-C since the summer as well as pediatric hospital beds at near capacity. Though they blame the causative factor as being “covid 19”, not the mechanism of the highly infectious variants and the sidelined innate immune system overhhelming the childrens immune capacity, thereby making them more susceptible to secondary immune pathology and infections (including RSV, flu and bacterial ). After gaining a more detailed understanding of your views and projections in your latest course, I have to concur that we are (unfortuantely) seeing it evolve in real time, like a scary Hollywood movie.

I think the difficulty now too is that since your warnings/writings have been largely ignored to date, it is a tall order for most people including scientists and public health “authorities” to sit down and methodically comb through your writings with the “mental stamina” (your phrase) that is needed to really grasp the meaning and nuance of your work; Especially when things are unraveling so quickly as you have been saying for a long time.

Much gratitude for your perseverance and scholarship

I would encourage you to read TACT’S substack. The hypothesis presented matches Dr Bossches explanation of what we are seeing unfold. He is seeing it from the immune system level solely but I present the case from a macro level, looking at it from a global perspective, while also presenting the latest science that supports the real world data.

Thank you for sharing that analysis. Is there anything we can/should do about our children to avoid severe lung problems ? Just keeping them to update immunity all the time with newer variants is enough or should we avoid reinfections till abs mature ? It looks a bit scary and even now some hospitals in EU for example start to be not widely available. We know that things can get bad and we love our children so much that as an parent would like to do everything possible.

I would love for the doctor to address this paper. It discusses the role of creatine monohydrate supplementation and the immune system. It acts as an anti inflammatory while also up-regulating CD8 and T killer cells. Creatine has a wonderful safety profile in individuals with healthy kidneys and has even been studied in infants with a genetic mutation that causes them not to produce creatine. I think low dose could be a viable option to help our children.

Doxycycline or Quinolones treat it. Azithromycin also does.

Symptoms we experiened in a 5 year old were high fever, cough (though this was not the predominant symptom).

Diagnosed by chest x-ray showing the white-lung pneumonia.

Have a pulse oximeter at hand. This is an easy way to tell if oxygen levels are low. If this number stays below 92%, get medical attention ASAP.

Very interesting. Your view here seems to support my hypothesis. You may be off on one point. You said that you expect cases of WLS to go down as BA.2.86, primarily JN.1 and JN.1.1, become dominant but as I point out the surge of pneumonia in children and adults is following the BA.2.86 subvariant surge very closely. Week for week in multiple countries. Your explanation of what's happening explains the mechanisms of how this variant could lead to the secondary bacterial infections being seen all over the world.

How does your assessment change if you consider that the BA.2.86/JN.1 variants are in fact behind the increasing pneumonia cases and the impact it will have as it reaches the highly vaccinated older adult communities?

We are already seeing huge spikes in hospitalizations in multiple countries. If you are correct then we will likely see more elderly die, more persistent infections, and the evolution continuing as you described.

See the substack for more detail.
