For this poor schlub living currently with his sister am seeing the effects of this scamdemic firsthand on children, my great niece(6) & nephew(11). Primarily niece though.
We live in Virginia, Youngkin has liberated our beautiful children's faces making it parent's choice. So living with my sister, it's typical both kids are here about every weekend. Both love Minecraft and have suckered me into playing to the point I bought the game myself and the three of us all play together on our own screens in the playroom. Not that I'm a huge fan of Minecraft, but I like the building aspect and we have fun playing together.
So I was asking my great niece the other weekend if she was still wearing a mask in school, and said she was due to "the sickness" which is what she calls covid. Yesterday my niece brought them by for a visit, and my nephew had a mask on under his chin, I joked and asked if he was growing a beard.
When they left, I asked my sister, so what's up with the masks is their mom making them wear them? Turns out, they want to wear them after having been so conditioned to "the sickness".
I know this is getting lengthy, but I'm so disheartened after asking my sister about them masking this morning and finding out my niece is having phycological issues as well, nobody cares about her, wanting to die, etc. Turns out, the reason they popped by was due to her running out in the street during a fit. So these feelings only come out when she's upset, for now...
Both kids LOVE their time here, when it's time to go home after weekends both are sad and hard to get them to get ready to go. Sweetest kids, really pains me this.
Unmasking our kids isn't enough, we need to counterstrike, explain to them in a way they can understand, counter the whole submissive narrative instilling vigilance to fight against oppression and tyranny in all forms, both foreign and domestic.
I'm generally patient, all good things in time, many moving pieces at play, etc etc, but this has really brought the urgency home for me.

Fren, it's tough watching the little ones go through this. The effects will be felt for a generation. It's important to note that kids are very resilient and adaptable and can/do recover from these types of trauma. Think about kids growing up in war zones or watching families go off to war. Now consider that we are in the middle of WWIII. I'm not being rhetorical or hyperbolic, we are in a different type of war, but one which will determine the fate of this planet. So please keep this in mind when you are frustrated. We are all feeling the pain one way or another. We will win and our children will recover.

Thanks for the encouraging words, and agreed, many kids are resilient. But there those that aren't so much.
My father was 7 when his father was shot by Nazi's in German occupied Denmark. He carried scars of that occupation through life, granted years of heavy alcohol abuse didn't help any, likely making it worse. But in that, those same scars were passed on to me. Maybe not those same scars per say, but the drinking and behavior patterns.
Many kids will be able to cope, move on, have a good and happy life, but many won't. Unfortunately, such is life under the DS world model, covid or not.

Happy Friday!
Yes this war began with the words "two weeks to slow the spread". They still say "slow the spread" on the radio here in Canada on the government propaganda commercials.
