Let me write out the highlighted text on this image. Bear with me. It’s important.

Prof Jeremy Nicholson, Dir Australian National Phenome Centre, gave evidence last week at Long Covid Inquiry. Extract from Hansard. It would be good if you could take the time to listen to his evidence- we are only talking about the long term health of All Australian Children!
Prof Nicholson: “The other thing, which I did mention in the submission, which I think is also underestimated and important is children. There's nothing that we worry about more than our children. And although children only have mild respiratory disease generally-there's also->
the multiple inflammatory syndrome of course-metabolically they’re very seriously ill. We've been working with Alessio Fasano, who's head of paediatrics at Harvard. ->
“We've been looking at children who've got really quite mild COVID but metabolically are the same as adults on intubation. It's quite shocking.”
We're just writing that up at the moment. And what that means to me is that, although we haven’t seen it yet, there's a possibility that we've created a new set of disease risks for our children->
which might change their risk for almost anything, including changes in their life expectancy. I hope that's not true but I think we need to spend a lot more effort on looking at mildly affected people and how they go on to progress,and especially children
OK, now it’s me talking again… What on the earth were we thinking? Doing this to our kids? Whose going to carry the responsibility and accountability for this? Gah! I am so cross!
