Children are left waiting for 15 HOURS in emergency rooms due to Amoxicillin shortage caused by COVID restrictions - as record number of parents are forced to take time off work to care for sick kids
UK Daily Mail ^ | November 16, 2022 | Sophie Mann

A shortage of the common antibiotic Amoxicillin continues across the US as an increasing number of kids are diagnosed with seasonal illnesses and more parents are forced to call out of work to care for them.

As pharmacies struggle, due to an ongoing shortage that the FDA warned about several weeks ago, to keep up with the demand from parents for Amoxicillin, more and more Americans have been required to stay home from work to tend to their sick children.

More than 100,000 Americans missed work last month - an all time high - because of child-care problems, many of which come down to sick children and sick daytime caregivers.

These kids have been cooped up due to COVID despite all the evidence COVID had minimal impact on children. They have no exposure to other viruses and bacteria. Classic case of disease exploding on a population not previously exposed to it.

Is this one of the drugs that Congress put a stop to in the recent “anti inflation “ bill?

No wonder there is a shortage if you are prescribing it for viruses as the article continuously mentions.
Its for bacterial infections.

From personal experience, a lot of mothers will insist the physician prescribe antibiotics even if the infection is viral. Just easier for the physician to subscribe and move on.

The article mentions that part of the demand is to treat secondary issues like ear infections.

parents are forced to take time off from work to take care of their sick kids? Oh, the horror.
They are your kids- you should be taking care of them.

In all my 29 years of being a mother of two kids in the pediatric office have I ever seen any of the various pediatricians I went to have I ever seen a pediatrician prescribe anti-biotics just because I thought they needed it.

This is total Bullcrap from the left making excuses for the biden administration, along with the shortages of formula, water, lakes and rivers drying up, and so on and so forth. If anything, they would try to avoid it, except for ear infections which is very common among babies and toddlers.

Yes...part of the demand.

And while I am sure it just a poorly written headline, what does waiting for 15 hours have to do with it? Does it suddenly become available?

I wonder how many of the kids might have a previous history of interstitial lung disease....

...One New York doctor said lots of kids are coming to the hospital with more than one virus attacking their immune systems...

I wonder what percentage of those kids are vaxxed...

And get a load of this...

RSV Transmission

...and this...

Mechanisms Underlying Pneumococcal Transmission and Factors Influencing Host-Pneumococcus Interaction: A Review

Looks like formites are a means of transmission for both.

Guess what muzzles are...fomites.

Wonder how much, if any, of these cases are due to muzzles, nosocomial cases...

How many of those kids really needed to be taken to the hospital and given antibiotics that are becoming resistant to bacteria?

Anyone remember the better days when kids with colds and childhood diseases stayed home and quickly recovered under the care of their stay-at-home mothers? When antibiotics still worked because they were not over-prescribed?

And I'll just toss this one because of this bit...

Acute exacerbation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination

...However, some concerns about adverse effects related to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination have been raised. Recently, various adverse effects have been reported, but there is little data on adverse effects on the lungs [2]...

Bold is mine.

Note to parents: Don't allow Deep State, Big Med, and Big Pharms to treat your kids like more of Fauci's beagles.

And get a load of the vaxx protocols for the UK...

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/regulatory-approval-of-pfizer-biontech-vaccine-for-covid-19/information-for-healthcare-professionals-on-pfizerbiontech-covid-19-vaccine

I wonder how many times one or more of those weren’t followed when the vaxxes were administered.

That could very well be playing a part.

But I’d also like to know the vaxx status of the admissions.

And in the case of admissions of babies, the vaxx status of breastfeeding moms.
