While Countries Fiddled On Covid-19 TB Burned! 4.5% Global Increase in TB. 2 Million Deaths. Squarely Blamed On Lack Of Access To Early Effective Treatment! Other Infections Are Soaring Too!

The collateral damage of the covid-19 lockdowns and restrictions are emerging! Could increased infectious diseases be due to damaged immune systems, or simply pandemic measures? Public Health Failure!

The WHO is reporting on the latest Global Tuberculosis Report with information from more than 200 countries. The findings are not reassuring. 10.6 million people have fallen ill, and 1.6 million died, more than 4,000 deaths a day, a significant increase of 4.5%! They place the blame squarely on the Covid-19 Pandemic measures which closed treatment centers and reduced access to treatment.

Tuberculosis is not the only illness exploding in world populations. US Authorities are raising the alarm for out of season Flu, and RSV, a childhood respiratory illness that can be very serious for young children, straining pediatric hospitals.

INFECTIOUS DISEASES OUTBREAKS IN PHILIPPINES IN 2022

Tuberculosis is endemic in Philippines, already very common. Lack of treatment will increase the infectious population and thus directly result in additional cases.

Aside from TB, in the Philippines, cases of other infectious diseases are soaring in 2022. What has happened to population health? It has clearly taken a very sharp downturn!

5 November 2022: RSV is surging in Philippines. Fortunately, no Deaths have been reported to date!

6 November 2022: Cholera is soaring in the Philippines. Up 282% over 2021 levels.

2 November 2022: Typhoid cases are soaring, up 150% vs. 2021.

7 October 2022: Dengue cases are soaring in 2022, as well, up 183% for 2022 as of 17 September 2022, compared to the same period in 2021.

8 September 2022: HIV Cases are also rising in 2022. At least in part this will be due to disruption of testing and treatment activities due to the pandemic lockdowns.

This article discusses the pandemic disruptions causing lack of access to treatment.

..when novel public health emergencies arise, extant ones cannot go by the wayside, or we risk exacerbating them…

CAUSES OF INCREASED INFECTIOUS DISEASES IN 2022

The causes of this mass escalation of infectious diseases are likely multifactorial. In no specific order, including the following:

• Lack of normal exposure to pathogens affecting normal immune system development of individuals and in turn affecting population immunity. This will have resulted from lockdowns, and particularly reduced movement and exposure of children to other people and environments.

• Increased poverty worsening nutritional and overall health status, increasing susceptibility to infectious disease.

• Mass immune deficiency following multiple immune modifying jabs.

• Impacts on development and management of infrastructure for water and sewage, and sanitation.

• Suspension or disruption of vector management programs.

• Lack of access to early diagnosis and treatment.

The bottom line is that there has been a mass failure of public health over the last couple of years. The pandemic measures came at the expense of prior existing programmes and the failure / lost opportunities for addressing other critical health issues. This needs urgent address! Some of this address may involve biting the bullet and letting people get exposed to illness (ideally with early detection and excellent management) to redevelop immune system function.

Ways to Wellness

We must not be scared of illness. Instead, we must support the body to self-healing, treat early where necessary, and manage wisely. Health does not come through a syringe it comes though nature with her provision of everything humans need for whole body wellness, and wholistic management of illness when it does occur.

For those who are now immune suppressed following covid-19 injection and /or following natural covid-19 infection there needs to be both attention to overall health though nutrition and lifestyle; critical will be vitamin D levels, optimal nutritional and metabolic health, targeted nutraceuticals and medications, as needed, to help the body deal with the spike proteins and injection contaminants and their sequelae, as well as early detection and treatment of any illnesses to both ensure the best outcome for each person as well as to reduce their potential for spreading illness within their community.

The children’s immune system must be allowed to develop normally. Stop the masking for them.

Kids are catching Covid-19, but it is not a serious risk for them. No severe cases and no deaths have been reported!

Stop the Covid-19 injections for the children. At least DOH is still not approving any boosters for kids! Let’s hope that some sort of sanity will prevail and they never will!

No more than already given for anyone!
