Children's immune systems are dangerously compromised and an emergency policy response is needed

The health of the youngest population is deteriorating. Unfortunately, until now the sharp decline in children's immune systems has not captured the attention of experts and public health authorities. To rescue children's health, this needs to be viewed as an emergency.

Increased mortality in children 0-14 Recent trends in excess mortality in the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States for children ages 0-14 as analyzed by Phinance Technologies can no longer be neglected. Several countries have noticed increases in excess mortality in all ages over the past four years. Among them are the Netherlands, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Bulgaria. These countries are facing a remarkable increase in excess mortality in children 0-14 years old in 2021-2023. In 2023, Western "rich" countries with a qualified and expensive healthcare system (the Netherlands) observed more deaths than expected while others (Belgium) reported fewer deaths than expected in children ages 0-14. Bulgaria observed more deaths than expected for children ages 0-14 in 2021, 2022, and 2023. In the European Union, Bulgaria is a country with the cheapest healthcare system and lowest life expectancy.

More immunocompromised children The biggest public health threat is not a virus but a weakened immune system. Young women and children have been hit hardest during the pandemic. Over the past four years, women and children have been exposed to more stress, fear, loneliness, and anxiety, increased use of medicine, poverty, and vaccinations. Pregnant women, children, and adolescents are more susceptible to intoxication. Medicine and vaccinations can have negative interactions on the human body and immune system, especially in pregnant women and children. The damage can vary from infectious disease and invasive bacteremia to chronic diseases, cardiac vascular problems, cancer, early aging, or sudden death.

Policy recommendations Policies for any poorly investigated drugs or vaccines with serious risks for harmful side effects could be halted until safety and effectiveness are demonstrated through analysis by independent parties. For a healthy, balanced, and economically flourishing country, the best return on investments will be from programs aiming to support women's health during pregnancy and children's health. Increased monitoring of vaccinations, medications, and the population's overall immune system health is needed. Currently, the public health threat of decreasing children's immune systems needs urgent investigation. Independent research is needed to analyze the data on excess mortality in children.

Conclusion Children are getting sick, and data shows a sharp decline in their immune systems. An emergency response is needed to investigate and address this public health threat. Independent research is needed to analyze the data on excess mortality in children. Personalized data on the medical history of children would be beneficial to better understand the ultimate causes of fatal complications in immunocompromised conditions.
