These two sentence imply that "disproportionate restrictions" caused all these downstream effects. It's manipulative, and well, absolutely unsupported by the data. Never you mind. They have an agenda to push.

"The unintended consequences of pandemic restrictions are now a greater risk to our children than COVID, and we must act on that reality."

Perhaps, that 1 in 4 COVID deaths here in the US leaves a child w/o a caretaker, might be worth mentioning?
