Have you noticed a marked deterioration of our community health in recent years. Are we witnessing an increase of unexplained or sudden deaths? Are we fully aware of the medical effects of generational slavery. Is the media telling us the truth of the effects of the COVID vaccination and increased deaths. Can we afford to turn a blind eye? All this and more will be examined with evidence and proof. Book Now: https://lnkd.in/eCm8P7Fb

The Challenge of Long COVID in Children Families of children with long COVID face uncertainty about recovery and financial strain from healthcare costs. Many parents struggle to find doctors knowledgeable about long COVID, often facing dismissive or uninformed GPs. An expert highlights the need for better education and guidelines, as standard tests often miss conditions like POTS, common in long COVID patients. Delays in diagnosis can worsen outcomes. Despite evidence that vaccination reduces long COVID risk, Australia's strategy remains conservative. Experts stress better prevention, especially in schools. We must educate healthcare providers, update guidelines, and take preventive measures to protect children from the long-term impacts of COVID-19. https://shorturl.at/vrkFY

What has been done to the future generation can only be described as unconscionable and depraved. Why? Because parallels were drawn to ME/CFS in this document and others. Now, roughly two-thousand nine hundred families in Australia find themselves with a child aged four and under with the immune competence of an AIDS patient. The argument to borrow from forty years of evidenced based medicine to preserve the autonomy, immune competence, and cognition of the future generation was advanced on September 28th and 29th, 2020. Depriving children of forty years of evidenced based medicine has allowed for conversion from Asymptomatic Neurocognitive Impairment and the presentation of what are AIDS Defining Illnesses, Tuberculosis and Cryptosporidiosis, in children, and they are not observed in ME/CFS. Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Essentials of Diagnosis and Management https://lnkd.in/gcw7Ef_2 "Although patients with ME/CFS do not present with symptomatic, opportunistic infections (eg, cryptosporidiosis, tuberculosis), some do experience recurrent herpes infections." Gastro cases hit 20-year high as parasite spreads disease to toddlers https://lnkd.in/eFyQwtwu "Australia is in the grips of a gastro outbreak with four times more cases of cryptosporidiosis, a parasitical gastrointestinal disease, so far this year than in all of 2023. There have been 11,747 cryptosporidiosis cases in 2024 compared with 3716 in 2023. A quarter of all cases are in children under four." Irreparable neurological and immunological harm has been inflicted, for which recovery will be impossible for both. AIDS-defining illnesses https://lnkd.in/ghuN9x3C Cryptosporidiosis, chronic intestinal (greater than one month's duration) I hope those who pushed an unscientific agenda are prepared for what is coming.

As winter approaches and the demand for services increase, our mobile medical units can support with minimising waiting times and crowding across a number of patient services. We have been working with several Trusts and Health Boards, supporting with a range of mobile clinical capacity units to align with their winter plans. These include: - A&E Triage, Integrated Urgent Care and Same Day Emergency Care solutions to support with increasing capacity in A&E departments - Vaccination units designed for community engagement. They can support with reaching at-risk cohorts and increase winter flu and COVID-19 capacity - Acute respiratory hubs bringing care closer to home, helping to alleviate pressures at hospitals whilst increasing accessibility to support with health inequalities - Essential healthcare services using a mobile outpatient clinic, improving access to health checks For more information on how we can support, take a look at our winter planning document or visit our website: https://lnkd.in/ey9yhbbj #WinterPlanning #Vaccination #Respiratory #CommunityHealth #UrgentCare
