Scare ‘Em about How Bad the World Is… Then Prescribe Antidepressants to Calm Their Poor Frazzled Nerves

     Yesterday the Associated Press published an article titled “Anxiety over global warming is leading some young Americans to say they don’t want children.”

     Pretty scary, right?

     The article starts off quoting a 27 year old woman who says “I just don’t think I need to bring more people into (the world) when there’s so much here currently that we need to fix.”

     AP notes she is the average age of an American mother, per Centers for Disease Control and Prevention…adding a little “authority” to the first anecdotal paragraph.

     The next paragraph piles on more authority with “In a 2024 Lancet study of people 16 to 25 years old, the majority of respondents were “very” or “extremely” worried about climate change. The study also found that 52% said they were hesitant to have children because of climate change.”

     That makes the 27 year old woman is now fully representative of half the 16 to 25 year old population. The “authority” of the Lancet – one of the worlds two most influential medical journals – confirms her identity with every other young person on the street. They’re all scared.

     Maybe you should be, too, eh?

     That study itself begins “Climate change has adverse effects on youth mental health and wellbeing,” as quoted by the Lancet. “85% of respondents endorsed being at least moderately worried, and 57.9% very or extremely worried, about climate change and its impacts on people and the planet.”

     That makes it scarier yet to find out that eighty percent of our youth are that anxious about the world we all live in.

     That’s a pretty good reason for them to be prescribed an antidepressant or anti-anxiety medication…at least so they can feel better about having children. Otherwise, the human race is quickly going to run out of future generations.

     The author of this fear mongering study is Eric Lewandowski, PhD , clinical assistant professor in the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at NYU Langone and a member of its Child Study Center .

     Langone is heavily funded by Big Pharma. They will receive $130 million from just one of their donors, Amethyst Innovations, through Langone’s partnership with Deerfield Management. Biotech Incubator, Aethon Therapeutics, and Therapeutics Alliances are some of the other Big Pharma entities funding NYU Lancone.

     In 2024 the Associated Press had nearly 2.6 billion page views and over 54 million monthly users on its news website. That’s a huge audience for R. Eric Lewandowski, a simple PHD working in a back office at NYU Lancone, pounding out the pro Big Pharma “studies” he designs and writes up.

     The Lancet’s readership is less, of course, but its online content still receives 41 million visitors annually. Better yet, its audience is prime for pro-Big Pharma influencers. 88% of its audience are medically qualified individuals, and 82% are practicing clinicians who trust the journal for medical updates, on subjects like how may youth are scared to have babies because of global climate change…

     …and who will therefore need some form of anti-anxiety medication prescribed for them to calm all those adolescent nerves that have, apparently, been so frazzled by constantly worrying about climate change.
