Be honest: Where exactly do you think this is going to lead?
A leading panel of doctors has recommended all American children over the age of eight to be screened for anxiety - even if they do not have symptoms.
The US Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF), one of the most influential bodies in American health care, issued the new guidelines on Tuesday.
It also is pushing for doctors to screen all children over the age of 12 for depression no matter their reported symptoms.
So they're going to screen millions of children for conditions with broad, easily confused symptoms. Doubtlessly they will find many, many more cases of those conditions as a result.
And then what do you think happens next?
Yep:
And you know what caused them to make this recommendation, right?
Rates [of anxiety and depression] are believed to have surged during the pandemic, where disruptions to everyday life and limited social interactions harmed many younger people.
Okay. So the federal and state governments shut down most of society, isolating children for months on end and fostering elevated rates of misery and anxiousness. Doctors backed by Big Pharma and Big Government threw in support for keeping you locked up until you vaxxed your whole family while they made TikTok dance videos.
Now, those government-backed doctors want to get all of these kids under a microscope and clinically diagnose them after bringing about those unhappy conditions. Got it.
