Compared to healthy controls, children and adolescents with long COVID had significantly reduced blood flow in the lungs. A reduction in blood flow patterns in organs or other areas of the body can result in a lack of sufficient oxygen and nutrients.

“Importantly, the severity of fatigue symptoms correlated with these blood flow changes, suggesting a possible biological basis for the patients’ ongoing symptoms,” Dr. Pöhler said.

But. Have you considered that it might be depression or that those kids are just lazy?

  Official government narrative when they’re asked why they have invested basically nothing in uncovering a mass cause of disability.
