A eight-year-old came into my office and his parents thought he had strep and so they

wanted to read the children's hospital.

They'd go into their normal pediatrician and they'd do all the testing and he was negative.

And so the doctor very, you know, nonchalantly was just like, well, maybe we should just

do a COVID test and immediately the child starts screaming, hitting his head, banging his

head on the floor, thinking he was going to die.

That was the first thought that went into his mind.

And then immediately, secondarily, he's like, I don't want to kill anybody else.

And for me, I take these proclamations and these politicians putting forward what seemingly

socially acceptable, you know, they're just the next step.

It's okay.

Like, let's just check to see if these people have been received this injection or not.

And it might seem appropriate if that provides real protection or something like that whatever

it might be.

But what they don't see or recognize is all the other things that happen, which these

children as young as 78 years old are more scared than ever.

They're so afraid of their own healthy bodies.

They've been told that just because you don't have symptoms doesn't mean that you won't

get someone else sick.

You won't kill someone else.

And so what I'm seeing is a level of normalization that is amplified into a complete acceptance

or a blindness to what's actually the fallout for children today.
