I am going to guess looking at bloody screens all day every day from the time they can start to move until the time they are diagnosed.

This seems entirely consistent with the model in which spending a lot of time focusing on near-field objects causes the eye to adapt so as to minimise strain on the ciliary muscle that deforms the lens in the eye to focus at various distances. If this model is correct, people who spend a great deal of time focusing on nearby objects (for example, a book or computer screen) may be expected to develop eyes that minimise the strain of doing so and, in the process, become incapable of focusing at infinity—they develop myopia.
Children with myopia are prescribed negative (diverging) lenses which correct their vision at infinity. This means their eyes continue to have to strain to focus closely, which causes the myopia to get worse over time, requiring stronger and stronger corrective lenses, which drive the progression of myopia.
Is this just a phenomenon of childhood, or does it happen in adults as well? Well, the phenomenon of “submarine myopia” has been reported for many years and the U.S. Navy has found submariners returning from long patrols are often nearsighted, presumably from spending an extended period of time in surroundings where their eyes rarely focused far away.
If this is the case, an epidemic of myopia is exactly what you’d expect among a population that has dramatically increased the amount of time it spends looking at screens and printed material.
In my 2012 article, “Reversing Myopia”, I reported my own personal experience that wearing reading glasses almost all the time except for driving and outdoor activities completely stopped the progression of myopia I had experienced all of my life and even modestly reduced my myopia. This is consistent with the habitual eye strain theory.

The case is similar to that of Roy Kaylor in Santa Cruz county:

The Democrats’ mass infection strategy (instead of a Zero/Low Covid) gets to kill off more of the Republican voter base (that for some reason refuses to adopt more masking or vaccines):

Just brilliant. The only problem is that vaccine efficacy becomes negative after 150 days (it’s behavioral: people feel protected when they’re not really - we’ve seen this more than a year ago in Israel among older demographics already, but the immune evasion of Omicron changed the game):
So, can’t get rid of those masks just yet: repeated boosters are just one of several tools to be used at the same time, as in the Emmentaler strategy:

There needed to be a transition before the final scene. The transition should have involved the pilot’s seeing eye dog getting mauled by a passenger’s emotional support pitbull.

I’m pretty sure that is an actual account and not propaganda.
