who are those holdouts who still support restrictions on our children who are those
1.00
00:00:11.800
people out there who still earnestly it seems believe that we've got to lock down children
00:00:17.620
despite the fact almost every day now there are more reports coming out that tell us two things
00:00:23.020
one that kids are being harmed seriously harmed by what we're doing to them right now
00:00:29.320
and part two that we learn that coronavirus just not all that serious in children very serious in
00:00:36.000
high-risk persons elderly persons and so forth in kids it's just not pediatric experts top
00:00:41.340
pediatricians basically saying coronavirus less severe than the flu in children and rather than
00:00:47.580
acknowledge and celebrate and amplify and you know take that information and run with it to cobble
00:00:52.940
together better policies we almost deny it we hide from it we plug our ears when that's the information
00:00:58.740
we could be using to help make sure children do not suffer and yet we're going to see in the next
00:01:04.620
year two years three years five years what have you long after the vaccination programs are done
00:01:09.300
lockdowns are over all that kind of stuff we're still going to be seeing stories about harms to
00:01:14.560
children the sort of after effects of it for years to come and what is the excuse that the last holdouts
00:01:21.100
have right now almost a year and a half into all of this i gotta credit some voices out there who
00:01:26.760
pretty much from the beginning we're saying we cannot do this to kids top pediatric experts high
00:01:32.220
profile individuals saying no saying schools have to remain open children's activities have to happen
00:01:37.960
and so forth let's stop doing this to our kids let's stop scapegoating them as well all this psychological
00:01:44.360
drama of all right you're 16 years old it's natural for you to want to go out and explore the world go
00:01:49.500
gallivanting with your friends but don't do that don't do that because you are going to kill your
00:01:54.280
grandparents and we go first of all that's that's an extremely that's that's mind games to play with
00:02:00.860
them it's so psychologically abusive we also have not seen uh many reports of that actual chain of
00:02:07.140
events occurring this idea that oh well you know if we let the kids do this yes okay fine they're fine
00:02:12.480
but they may get it and then they may spread it to this person that person may get hospitalized and that
00:02:17.280
person may die and so forth maybe it's happened a couple times but you know what it's happened in the
00:02:22.320
past family gatherings a kid has the flu a number of years ago it gets passed on to someone we don't
00:02:27.220
play these mind games though because these these things have actually happened and you've got to say
00:02:32.280
you look at those scenarios and you go is that a good excuse though to basically make kids the
00:02:39.000
scapegoats make them shoulder all of the blame if you have those high risk vulnerable persons well maybe
00:02:44.020
should we just not devise systems where we allow the kids to go and live their lives and we protect
00:02:49.580
the most vulnerable people have put a whole lot of effort and energy into argument it's not possible
00:02:54.620
there's no way we can do that and so forth when we also know they never really tried and yet now
00:02:59.400
the story is really mounting the justification for some of the latest restrictions was of course
00:03:03.940
we've got to protect the hospitals from overflowing but now we learn that the children's hospital of
00:03:09.780
eastern ontario chio they are actually overflowing with mental health hospitalizations children and
00:03:17.360
teenagers dealing with overdoses suicide attempts and eating disorders is the big thing very serious
00:03:23.100
eating disorders that require hospitalizations you've got pediatric specialists in those hospitals
00:03:27.860
saying we have not seen anything like this in our entire careers in decades it's through the roof
00:03:33.020
other hospitals have said similar things previously and then chio is saying we're going to have to
00:03:37.260
actually redirect some of those youth patients and put them into beds in adult hospitals so we go well
00:03:42.560
hold on a second we said we have to go into a lockdown to protect the hospitals well now we've
00:03:47.800
got children's hospitals being overwhelmed because of the lockdown so if you bought that previous logic
00:03:53.780
shouldn't the logic now i guess be that you've immediately got to end restrictions on kids because
00:03:59.480
it's filling the hospitals it makes you wonder who are these last holdouts who support all of these
00:04:06.040
restrictions on kids and what more evidence do they need to hear what more do they want to see
