Children in the U.S. need help

Yet another study that shows US children are dying… from guns.

TLDR: Excess deaths in the US (compared to other OECD nations) are due to guns, substance abuse, and car accidents, based on a recent study from researchers from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Gun and substance abuse deaths in children have increased since COVID. Children are also facing higher burdens of chronic disease, especially obesity and obesity-related conditions, mental health problems (like loneliness and depression), and autism and developmental disorders. (Also a polemical note on how MAHA completely ignores the biggest cause of child mortality.)
