Our Sickly Kids

Here is an interesting claim:

Children in the U.S. are more likely than kids in other countries to have underlying conditions that place them at an increased risk of becoming severely sick with Covid-19.

Possible causes:

• our kids get more vaccinations
• our kids eat bad food, or not enough
• our kids take more drugs, legal and illegal

And I'm certain you can think of some other potential reasons.

Whatever the case, we no longer are the "shining city on a hill". And that's pretty sad.
