    Not sure what you mean - is PIMS-TaS not a complete scam? Archived Message

    I find it unbelievable that this stupid and toxic story about children suffering from CV19 side effects, which started in Southhampton and has spread to the US and now France, has gripped the media the world over, despite the fact that it is "extremely rare" and that some of the children with the symptoms of the "Kawasaki disease like disease" tested negative for CV19.
    The "TaS" in that silly acronym stands for "temporally associated" - in other words merely a statistical correlation as something that happens to be occurring at the same time as the pandemic.
    We may as well say that drinking beer causes heart attacks because some people having heart attacks had been found to have been drinking beer - while others had not.
    So why has this story, seen first on the BBC I think, spread around the world, been heard by everyone, just at the time when kids are going back to school? In Australia a meeting of national cabinet appointed a special advisor to inform them about this new "syndrome" so that health authorities could be on the lookout for it in Australia, despite someone with a little sense observing that there were only a handful of children with significant symptoms of CV19 in Australia so it was "unlikely" we would see any. Parents are now "terrified" to send their children back to school. I kid you not!
