Toddlers’ speech and motor skills have dropped sharply in the wake of the pandemic, official data show. The Telegraph has the story.
Experts said that repeated lockdowns had left young children without the chance to play and learn how to communicate, setting back their development.
The Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT) raised fears that the gaps being witnessed now could widen in coming years, with increasing numbers of children struggling at school because basic skills were never learned.
Assessments show that one in five children are not meeting expected standards by the age of two-and-a-half, with thousands likely to need help such as speech and language therapy.
The figures came amid warnings from speech and language therapists that they are facing increasing demand, with one in three saying referrals have doubled since the pandemic.
Figures published by the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities show that 79.6% of children who received a review last autumn met the expected level in all five areas of development measured.
Across the preceding three-and-a-half years covered by the data, the figure was 83.1%, the Health Service Journal reported…
Communication skills suffered one of the most significant falls in performance, according to data. Just 85.3% of children hit the expected standard, down from 88.1% over the previous 14 quarters.
Dr Doug Simkiss, the chairman of the British Association for Community Child Health, said: “The pandemic reduced the opportunities for children to play with other children and highlights the importance of nurseries and early years settings for language development.”

Morning fellow Sceptics , I’m off to London Colney to connect a retail gas heater from our new abode in Herefordshire ,plenty insane news items this morning . Nutters everywhere
Connecting a retail gas heater between London and Hertfordshire sounds like an HS2 type of project Freddy. Good luck.
Morning..! Stay sceptical…
Why on earth would teachers that didn’t get the death jabs in New York City need their fingerprints sent to the FBI?? NYC has been leading the way in abusing the human rights of citizens for the last few years. What a horrible place to live, I’d move.
”Kane also wrote that by sending biometric data about unvaccinated teachers to the FBI, “NYC educators were being set up to be viewed as ‘right-wing extremists’ or even ‘terrorists.’”
“Educators who declined COVID vaccination — including myself — had every right to do so,” Kane wrote. “No one is a ‘terrorist’ or ‘extremist’ for holding the line on what does and does not go inside of their bodies — especially injected directly into their muscle tissue,” he added.”

“Pfizer was granted the first patent in August 2021 for cellular tower connection and communication with graphene oxide injected into humans worldwide for the purpose of contact tracing.
Pfizer – Patent: 11107588b2
Please click here to view the patent: https://patents.google.com/patent/US11107588B2/en
I’ve mentioned in previous posts that EMF/5G is incredibly dangerous to those with metals in their body, especially graphene oxide, because those metals act like antennas to those frequencies and drive the metals further into the body.
Now it appears they can track your every movement if you’ve been injected as well.
Disgusted yet?”
The ‘system’ involves downloading an app onto ‘smart equipment’ ie phone. Those without such equipment will be given an electronic device. No one left out, eh?
Scoring will be used to determine if ‘treatments’ are necessary including ie POCT’s – point of care treatments and / or vaccination.
Certain employment roles and activities will be eligible for ‘coupons’ to enhance their score which will mean less social restrictions…
The anticipated expiry of the patent is 30 November 2040.

“But the next one is going to be a biggy…” He forgot to add.
“We didn’t understand that it’s a fairly low fatality rate and that it’s a disease mainly in the elderly, kind of like flu is, although a bit different than that.”
Yes we did. Even the UK CMO Chris Whitty said so live on national television, before his sudden conversion to lockdown fanaticism.
John Ioannidis said it.
Jay Bhattacharya said it.
Doctors were saying it.
I certainly knew in April 2020, so pretty much anyone who cared to find out could have.
The fact this monster of a human is able to continue to present himself as a philanthropist and as an expert in health is a sign that things are not well in our society.
But this is an attempt to rewrite history before our eyes, which is why I don’t think I’ll ever be able to read history with the same eyes again.
Indeed. I think he is probably better liked/believed in by the media than he is by the general public. My feeling is that even normies are a bit cynical about Gates.
There is a documentary to be screened at 10pm tonight that promises to be critical of Mr Gates. Given that is being shown on Channel 4, I wouldn’t hold my breath. However, I think I’ll watch it. This is the preview taken from the Guardian website: –
The Billionaires Who Made Our World: Bill Gates10pm, Channel 4They are our new unelected overlords, but how well do we really know them? This three-part series on tech titans begins with the life and times of Microsoft founder turned mega-philanthropist Bill Gates. Insiders reveal how he made his fortune, and who’s now benefiting. But such largesse can only be a good thing … right? Ellen E Jones
By referring to Mr Gates as an ‘unelected overlord’ doesn’t that mean Ellen E Jones is a ‘conspiracy theorist’?
He was unpopular when he was boss of Microsoft because of what people saw as their sharp and monopolistic business practices. Lots of people preferred Apple because they were perceived as cooler or Google because they were perceived as more open and ethical (lol).
Quick look at Ms Jones’ Twitter feed makes me think she’s a woke lefty.
What I have always found interesting about Mr Gates is that he built his monopoly by exploiting the greed and hubris of IBM executives. I worry whether he has similarly exploited the greed of Big Pharma and lust for power of politicians for his own ulterior motives i.e. depopulation.
Is Google’s mission statement still ‘Don’t be evil’?
“Quick look at Ms Jones’ Twitter feed makes me think she’s a woke lefty.”
A “woke lefty” writing for The Groan?
I am truly shocked
“mega philanthropist?”
Even by today’s Orwellian standards that’s one hell of a stretch.
In olden days it would have been called ‘a bloody massive lie.’
The preview does hint at some sort of revelation. Probably a limited hang out to divert attention from the adverse reactions to the injections, but you never know.
He’s liked by the main stream media because he pays for most of it.
Society is on its deathbed. Absolutely crammed full of people that will not look in the eye the monster they have created. Worse than that, what these utterly vile people do is try to ridicule and humiliate anybody that has the audacity to point out the monster or its creator. We now have too many of these monsters rampaging through society and too many people who just turn a blind eye. I’ll be quite happy to shuffle off this mortal coil, but I’d prefer to go out fighting.
The same monster who paid a visit to No 10 last week…. Not that it was reported in the MSM.
Why is a man who has absolutely no mandate, apart from having lots of money to throw around, visiting heads of government?
A bit like Boris Johnson globetrotting instead of representing his constituents at grass roots.
Chris Whitty, and by extension, our whole Government knew….

Sea levels – Get of of that one!
As the data on climate change starts to look a little unconvincing the evil eye of the climate Sauron has swivelled to focus on sea level rises, as noted in 2 articles above. No matter that people i speak to around the Devon coast have not really noticed any sea level change in their lifetimes. Ah but that is not the point ‘the science’ says that unless we change our evil ways, sometime after we are dead and gone the world will be overwhelmed with floods due to sea level rise.
So, try and get out of that one with your annoying data! There seems to be little data supporting these apocalyptic predictions of sea level rise but then that is the clever climate alarmist point of sea level rise, there is little supporting data and will be little data but the climate alarmist soothsayers can foretell what is going to happen in the future and we all must obey and wear the sack-clothes and ashes of net-zero.

Presumably the covid report was produced using a word processor. Do they not know hoe to use the “Replace” function?
Besides which, if they are not named how can civil servants be shamed along with the responsible politicians – ie, all of them.

That means just 2 out of 650: Andrew Bridgen and Sir Christopher Chope.
Where in this round up is the reporting of a major environmental incident which will impact on the river system of about a third of the US?? What has been released, first via a train derailment & then by the decision to explode the contaminants, is highly toxic & has a 100% death rate. The implications for citizens, food & water supply, let alone the environmental impact, are immense. Even worse are reports that journalists who have reported on the incident truthfully have been arrested….
Of course, the alien invasions are coming to cover up this, Hunter Biden’s laptop contents, Epstein data release, be blamed for the sudden deaths, the ongoing horrors of war in Ukraine. Have I forgotten anything??
BREAKING UPDATE! 30 million people, or 10% of the United States population, may be in danger after a train derailed in East Palestine, Ohio that led to the release of toxic chemicals.
“We basically nuked a town with chemicals so we could get a railroad open,” said Sil Caggiano, a hazardous materials specialist.
As public officials try to calm the public, animals are falling sick and dying.
“Out of nowhere, he just started coughing really hard, just shut down, and he had liquid diarrhoea and just went very fast,” said resident Taylor Holzer while he explained the mortally ill condition of his foxes.
“Smoke and chemicals from the train, that’s the only thing that can cause it, because it doesn’t just happen out of nowhere,” Holzer said.

Strangely enough, yesterday I read about a 2022 film on Netflix called White Noise.
It is about a family living in Ohio whose lives are disrupted when a cataclysmic train accident casts a cloud of chemical waste over the town. This “Airborne Toxic Event” forces a massive evacuation…
With the extras coming from East Palestine… I read that too.
The Davos Deviants love to advertise what’s coming next. They get a really sick kick out of it.

Pfizer missed a deadline to turn over internal studies on myocarditis, per an FDA order.
This should be much bigger news…Pfizer have missed the deadline for the report..it should have been available by December last year..the new date is set for June 2023….
How many more younger people might suffer or die because of its postponement?
I have no intention of watching Bill Gates lying through his teeth. The British Government downgraded Covid to a Low Consequence Infectious Disease (with low mortality rates) a week before the first Lockdown.
They had the evidence of the Diamond Princess and reports from Italy. They knew full well who was at risk, why, and that the vast majority (99.8%) weren’t.
“The British Government downgraded Covid to a Low Consequence Infectious Disease (with low mortality rates) a week before the first Lockdown.”
That much is correct and I never realised the logic behind it given all the outrageous scaremongering. As I now understand matters the C1984 had to be downgraded in order to bring in the “vaccines.” If the C1984 was left as a High Consequence Infectious Disease all possible prophylactics had to remain available which would have included both Ivermectin and Hydroxichloroquine and the “vaccines” could not have been granted Emergency Use Authorisation.
In other words the downgrading was deliberate because it allowed for the banning of Ivermectin and Hydroxichloroquine AND authorisations for the so-called “vaccines.”
Cynical, deliberate, malevolent.
When I first read this, I was immediately..’yeah right’, but then I thought I was being too sceptical..and a bit harsh….I suppose this is what the WHO should do…stop things before they get out of hand?
Then you read the stuff around it, and I think my first sceptical feeling might be right?

The WHO announced that it held an emergency meeting of the Marburg virus vaccine consortium (MARVAC) on Tuesday. The meeting was also meant to review its protocol after the Marburg virus outbreak in Equatorial Guinea.
The WHO said there were currently nine deaths and 16 suspected cases with symptoms including fever, fatigue, diarrhea and vomiting. The agency said it was sending medical experts to help officials in Equatorial Guinea stop the outbreak and was also sending protective equipment for hundreds of workers…

A rare Marburg outbreak sparks a race against time to test vaccines and drugs…
There are a number of experimental vaccines and drugs that have been shown in animals to prevent or treat Marburg, a deadly cousin of the deadly Ebola virus family. But finding out if they actually work in people requires an outbreak, and Marburg outbreaks are blessedly rare…..
There was a bright spot on the therapeutics side, with word that Gilead’s antiviral remdesivir — licensed in the United States for Covid-19 as Veklury — is available for testing.
Hmm??
In other words the outbreak in Equatorial Guinea is a complete fiction. And, EG is so far off the beaten track no journalists are likely to turn up to check the facts. Well the BBC might run a ‘Wish You Where Here’ lucky dip for some journalists by way of thank you for their sterling work during the Scamdemic but that’s about it.
I know it’s a shockingly long list..but one of the most unethical and serious things about the Covid Con has been the withdrawal or outright banning of treatments…(other than the quacksine)…which has, without doubt, contributed to thousands of deaths…this is the view from Australia…
(On a personal note I was refused steroids for a chest infection/bronchitis last year..something that previously had never been a problem!?)

I have written and spoken numerous times about the most egregious government health policy error of all time – the failure to allow early treatment of COVID with ivermectin. This has cost thousands of lives.
We are well beyond debating whether or not ivermectin is safe and efficacious for the prevention and treatment of COVID19. The mountain of evidence in support of ivermectin is overwhelming and incontrovertible by any measure. I’ve worked for 3 hard years to force the TGA and the National Covid Clinical Evidence Taskforce to cease their wilful blindness and shame them into looking at the data…..but they will not. I will not waste my time going down that rabbit hole anymore.
