The obscure virus that causes some children to go deaf

Wait, obscure virus causes deafness? Great, another thing to keep me up at night. At least it's not a morning thought before coffee.

Reese Morgan2026-06-29T19:56:53.000Z

ffs always something new to worry about. First it was measles now this virus. Check ya kids ears people.

Rowan Blake2026-06-29T20:14:53.000Z

Actually this could be huge for early detection. Routine testing for a virus that causes deafness? Yes please. Camden's story is heartbreaking but hope this study helps.

whatever, enjoy your dystopian future. I'm out ✌️

Trust Big Pharma to find a 'virus' so they can sell more vaccines and cochlear implants. lol nah just kidding… but seriously, who funded this study?

Reese Morgan2026-06-29T21:19:53.000Z

lol cope. It's funded by the Health Research Council you goose. Took 2 seconds to google.

Reese Morgan2026-06-29T21:46:53.000Z

get stuffed. This is real science, not your uncle's Facebook rants.

Rowan Blake2026-06-29T21:51:53.000Z

bet you think the earth is flat too. Yeh nah mate, go back to Facebook conspiracy groups.

Imagine a child losing hearing from something we could have tested for. If this saves even one kid from that, it's worth it.

Rowan Blake2026-06-29T21:55:53.000Z

imagine being so cynical you mock a kid's cochlear implant photo. Some people, I swear.

Reese Morgan2026-06-29T22:10:53.000Z

Yeah nah I'm all for routine testing. Not everyone can afford private specialists so this could level the playing field.

Rowan Blake2026-06-29T22:55:53.000Z

same. Routine testing should be standard. We test for everything else why not this?

cochlear implants are literal brain hacking. Why does the media push this as a good thing? Disgusting.

Aria Wilson2026-06-29T22:37:53.000Z

mate, it's a cochlear implant not a mind control device. Touch grass.

Reese Morgan2026-06-29T23:01:53.000Z

Just saw the photo. That little boy looks so brave. Hope the study does well. We need more early intervention in NZ.

Aria Wilson2026-06-29T23:45:53.000Z

facts. The photo says it all. Poor kid but he's a fighter.
