I haven't had covid for 3 years either. Haven't had any shots since the first 2 in 2020.
I hope Avenger is ok.

I don't believe in flu shots. Unless your old or vulnerable.

$7.80 for a schooner of Stone & Wood at Yamba Bowlo (members price). They also do a promo for your birthday month if you are a member. 10 bucks worth of drinks, 10 bucks worth of raffle tickets and 5 bucks off a bistro meal. I used up the drinks promo first. A schooner of S&W and a glass of wine for Mrs Eelo. 7 bucks.

How much are mental health prescriptions to kids increasing?
The data reveals that in the past 10 years:

Prescriptions for stimulants, mostly used to treat ADHD, almost quadrupled, from a rate of 101 prescriptions per 1,000 people under 18 in 2013, to 380/1,000 in 2023
Antidepressants were prescribed at a rate of 196 prescriptions per 1,000 under-18s in 2023, up 165 per cent from 2013
Prescriptions for SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors), a group of antidepressants, more than tripled
Antipsychotic medication was relatively uncommon, but prescriptions grew 37 per cent
Meanwhile, prescriptions for sedatives and hypnotics (sleep medication) to young people halved, while anxiolytics (anti-anxiety medication) remained steady

Antidepressants, antipsychotics and stimulants up: Why are children taking more mental health medications?

The rate of psychiatric medication prescribed to Australian children and teenagers has more than doubled in the past 10 years, according to new government data.

Pills sort everything. Way more effective than garlic.

Effective yes. Natural ? NO
Addictive ? Most likely.
Damage to organs in body? UMM well no we don't think so.

I tell you something. Your kidneys have to filter everything and all this garbage they are feeding the kids would be possibly damaging their organs.

Garlic isn't. We want to laugh and mock natural remedies. Eat healthy stay away from sugar

Yep. Goes without saying. Eat healthy and limit sugar.

Pills are still more effective than Garlic though.

The fine print under the graph says it's the number of prescriptions per 1,000 people, not the numbers of people receiving prescriptions...

So for someone on these pills longer term, there will be multiple prescriptions in a year (2, 4, 6, 12?), hence the real percentage rate will actually be much less.

Garlic flavoured pills could be the answer.

You sound like my MIL.

“My wrist is sore. I might stop taking these hypertension, heart, kidney anxiety pills.”

“Not a great idea. Don’t do anything, even miss a pill, without taking to your Dr first.”

What would Drs know !”

Well they are keeping you alive, you f**king idiot.

So Black Epstein is worth $40M for this auto-tuned trash ? Yeah I had to look it up.

 

[the phantom menace]

No, as in you personally believe the percentage of people will not be less than the percentage of prescriptions data relied upon in the article?

Or no, as in the description of what the stats mean in your source material is somehow wrong?
