As the founder of Rational Ground and author of "Gone Viral: How Covid Drove the World Insane," I've spent countless hours analyzing the effects of the pandemic on our society. One of the most heart-wrenching aspects has been the impact on our children. In this post, I'll share statistics, anecdotes, and personal stories that illustrate the profound consequences of COVID on our youngest generation.
Education has taken a massive hit during the pandemic. According to one study, educational attainments have been set back a decade1. The risk of COVID for young children is 100,000 times lower than for someone at the average age of death (roughly 80 years old)2. Yet, we've subjected our children to unprecedented restrictions and disruptions in their lives.
One of the most disturbing statistics is the 250,000 cases of child abuse that went unreported during the lockdowns3. School administrators and teachers, who often catch these cases, were unable to do so due to school closures. The impact on children's mental health has been equally devastating. One quick side anecdote: a Palm Beach therapist reported a significant increase in speech delays among children during the pandemic4 - we’re seeing that in San Diego and with our own children.
The emotional toll on children is evident in the story of a 5-year-old girl whose mother shared her experience5. Once a happy and outgoing child, the girl became sad, withdrawn, and irritable due to the lockdowns. This story is just one of many that can be found on CovidStoriesArchive.org6, a website we helped launch to document the human impact of the pandemic.
Teenagers have also suffered immensely. They can articulate their feelings and work through them in therapy, but the damage is still profound. The pandemic has left them with burdens they should never have had to bear.
The impact on our youngest children is inexcusable.
The economic consequences of the pandemic have also affected children. An estimated 150 million people have been forced into extreme poverty, with 8 million Americans pushed into poverty8.
The media has played a significant role in perpetuating fear and hysteria during the pandemic. Clickbait headlines and sensationalist reporting created an environment where rational discussion and evidence-based decision-making have been sidelined.
It's essential to recognize the damage done to our children and work to repair it. We must prioritize their well-being and ensure that they have the support and resources they need to recover from this once-in-a-century human-made fiasco

The Cubic lattice appears to be the universal Paternal constant of mathematical construction of Maternal mass,
matter and ultimately, form.
"The Cube of Space is an occult concept that was invented by the prominent occultist Paul
Foster Case. The Cube of Space associates the three axes of the cube, the center point of the
cube, the six sides of the cube, and the twelve edges of the cube, with the 22 letters of the
hebrew alphabet. The Cube of Space is based upon two verses in the proto-kabbala text called the Sepher Yetzirah.

Today, we're diving deep into the findings of the Select Committee on the Coronavirus Pandemic report, a moderately comprehensive document that sheds light on the origins, missteps, and long-term implications of the pandemic response. While we find much to discuss—and critique—within its pages, this report is another crucial entry into the growing library of work highlighting the urgent need for accountability and reform.
Together, we'll explore its insights and use them to advocate for a future where overreach, mismanagement, and infringements on our fundamental rights are not tolerated. This conversation is vital to ensuring that the lessons of the past guide us toward a more just and resilient tomorrow.

No matter how bad you think Covid policies were, they were intended to be worse.
Consider the vaccine passports alone. Six cities were locked down to include only the vaccinated in public indoor places. They were New York City, Boston, Chicago, New Orleans, Washington, D.C., and Seattle. The plan was to enforce this with a vaccine passport. It broke. Once the news leaked that the shot didn’t stop infection or transmission, the planners lost public support and the scheme collapsed.
It was undoubtedly planned to be permanent and nationwide if not worldwide. Instead, the scheme had to be dialed back.
Features of the CDC’s edicts did incredible damage. It imposed the rent moratorium. It decreed the ridiculous “six feet of distance” and mask mandates. It forced Plexiglas as the interface for commercial transactions. It implied that mail-in balloting must be the norm, which probably flipped the election. It delayed the reopening as long as possible. It was sadistic.
Even with all that, worse was planned. On July 26, 2020, with the ...
Congressmen Scalise and Comer, Members of the Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis, Ladies and Gentlemen.
My name is Steven Quay and I am honored to speak at this forum. I am a physician-scientist with over 360 publications on a wide range of topics in science and medicine. I have 87 issued patents in 22 different fields of medicine, including the chemistry of RNA drugs like the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. I have invented seven FDA-approved medicines that have been used by millions of people worldwide.

I appreciate the non-partisan approach the Subcommittee is taking today. Clearly, science in the last few years, but especially on topics related to the COVID pandemic, has been coopted by geopolitics. Thus, I am here, not as a mouthpiece for any political party, but as an American scientist.
I dedicate my testimony today to the more ...
