Child Jabs Halted in Trial as Adult Clot Link Probed
Concern over the link between the AstraZeneca vaccine and rare cases of blood clots has led to the halting of trials of the jab on children aged six to 17. The BBC has the story.
A trial of the AstraZeneca Covid vaccine on children has stopped giving out jabs while the UK’s medicines regulator investigates a possible link with rare blood clots in adults.
Professor Andrew Pollard from the University of Oxford told the BBC there were no safety concerns with the trial itself, but its scientists were waiting for further information.
Around 300 volunteers signed up.
Earlier, PM Boris Johnson said people should get their jab when invited.
More than 31.6 million people in the UK have had a first vaccine dose.
A total of 5.4 million people have received a second dose.
Two vaccines – developed by AstraZeneca and Pfizer – are being used in the UK, while a third – from Moderna – has been approved.
The trial of the AstraZeneca vaccine on children, which started in February, is assessing whether the jab produces a strong immune response in those aged between six and 17.
Its suspension comes after a European Medicines Agency (EMA) official, speaking in a personal capacity, said there appeared to be a link with the jab and rare blood clots.
Confirming that the trial on children was being paused, Prof Pollard said: “Whilst there are no safety concerns in the paediatric clinical trial, we await additional information from the MHRA on its review of rare cases of thrombosis/thrombocytopaenia that have been reported in adults, before giving any further vaccinations in the trial.”
Participants are advised to continue to attend all scheduled visits and can contact the trial sites if they have any questions.
The Chair of the European Medicines Agency’s vaccine evaluation team has said there is a connection between the AstraZeneca vaccine and rare blood clots, although the exact cause of the adverse reaction remains uncertain. Meanwhile, the MHRA is being urged to consider restricting the rollout of the jab due to the occurrence of blood clots in younger people – especially young women.
The BBC’s report is worth reading in full.

It seems to me highly unlikely, that any vaccine will improve on children’s natural immune response to BatFlu. At best, they are playing with fire vaccinating kids, at worst, using them as human shields.
At worst, it is genocide.
Don’t exaggerate. That’s what the Covid cultists do.
The actual wrong-doing is blatant enough.
What I have said is correct. You should read posts carefully, before passing comment.
Please will you stop repeating the mainstream media’s line of “rare blood clots”?
The whole point is that these types of blood clots are ORDINARILY extremely rare but as a result of vaccinations, have become MUCH MORE COMMON.
Calling them “rare blood clots” minimises the issue, and minimises the deaths of numerous young people from this illness all across Europe.
This is just lazy journalism.
It isn’t journalism, it is propaganda.
Yes, they are very rare, until you start messing around with your body, like by getting a vaccine.
The BBC don’t seem to do journalism any more; they are just a medium for the dissemination of government propaganda
And will continue in this role at least until 2038 as a committee of furloughed MPs decided that the internet would not be a suitable for the bbc digital pay per view streaming service so they need to keep the licence tax in place. I am not very ‘techy’, if someone can help explain, is there something different about the bbc that means they would be unable to ‘stream’ but does not stop all the other streaming services?
What is your source for them being much more common? Would be interested to read it, thanks.
What we need are the figures for any blood clots, not just the very rare ones. Are there increases in cases of Deep Vein Thrombosis? Pulmonary Embolism? Mild cases that eventually go away on their own as well as severe cases requiring medical intervention.
I believe that the chances of bleeding and clots increases with each re- vaccination
It is highly likely that the BBC article is not worth reading in full. The real question is why are parents allowing their children to be “vaccine” guinea pigs for an infection that is of no risk to their offspring. The vaccines on the other hand present very real risks to those who are unlucky enough to have had these toxic injectables pumped into their young bodies. The parents of the children in these trial should be prosecuted for extreme cruelty. Where is the NSPCC, on furlough?
The Mail has the same story and the comments are spot on!
I suspect, perhaps, that going forward ‘blood clots’ as a consequence will pale in comparison to what the jabs will do to reproductive health in vaccinated children and youth.
They should never have started these trials in the first place, totally unethical.
That’s the point. Not relatively rare side effects.
Unethical and also criminal.
“Around 300 volunteers signed up”, ‘trials of the jab on children aged six to 17′
Fascinating, they were all too young to smoke, drink, vote or (from 22nd April 2021) to buy a lottery ticket, but they got into this lottery (with no prizes) just in time.
Long Covid scare campaigns with a little bit of Kawasaki thrown in for good measure.
Off topic, but Russian troops are massing around the Ukraine border. Let’s hope the Russians invade and watch the issues around covid evaporate.
The Russian troops are amassing in response to Ukrainian military movements directed towards the ethnic Russian enclaves of Luhansk and Donetsk. Of course, the BBC and other corrupt western media missed out this major part of the story.
The time may come though, when Russia decides to permanently lance the US controlled carbuncle, that festers away on its southern border. Thanks to Uncle Sam’s trouble making and also Ukrainian stupidity, that time may be soon.
That’s what happens when most doctors seem to have learned their craft at the Leonardo Conti School of Medicine.
I can’t believe any parent would let their child participate in a vaccine trial. So I would guess it is the woke , leftie , cultural marxists….. who offer up their offspring for sacrifice
It is more likely to be the simply stupid.
I’ve always been baffled by this. And I work for a large vaccine manufacturer. I used to ask the scientists “WHO on earth offers up their newborn for a vaccine trial?” And they just shrugged and said “people do”.
At least these were vaccines for killer childhood diseases, I suppose, but it’s a strange soul who lets their precious baby be the first. Maybe if you had already lost one child, or had seen others die from the disease you might be more inclined. But for COVID? That makes no sense.
Nothing this past year has made any sense. But when the door has been opened a crack its easy to push it wide. Look at the astronomical number of vaccines given to children in the USA. How long before that idea crosses the water?
Please have a look at Robert Kennedy Jr.’s Children Defense Fund newsletter. It is an eye opener into the world of childhood vaccinations, the COVID vaccine etc. He has now been deplatformed on Utube? Luckily he is from the Kennedy dynasty and has money to support his quest for information. He is also a lawyer and understands the legal rights of free people as well as the laws of the land.
Yes, familiar with his sterling efforts, thanks.
The answer is simple: the power of MSM propaganda.
It was always just to prepare younger generation for compromised immune systems. Stop it, and stop it now!
Gven that the not-vaccine is being ruled out as a causal factor even when people literally keel over and die after being injected, we can expect that the cause of the increased number of chronic leukemia cases in five or ten years will remain a complete mystery to the medical and scientific communities.

Thanks for highlighting this article from Sloan Kettering which gives you shivers reading it.Even if it was a very rare side effect, the actual mechanism that your own mRNA can promote cancer (Chronic lymphatic leukemia) means that just must be 100 % sure in long term studies of the mRNA vaccine that this does not happen. Can injecting another mRNA although it disappears very quickly,can it still promote CLL? And nobody in the world can deny this 100% just now .And they are still promoting this vaccine to healthy young people and not selected high risk groups which was the only rational purpose of the vaccine.
Anyone else intrigued that even though the trials in children have been stopped because of concerns about the blood clot incidents, Prof Andrew Pollard still has the audacity to say “there were no safety concerns with the trial itself”. Presumably he is ‘reassuring’ us that no children have suffered from clots to date… and won’t do because he says so. But I think he could have come up with a more appropriate choice of words being that it is precisely because of safety concerns that the trial has been stopped.
Pollard is just a Big Pharma/globalist henchman and rightly he should be in jail.
Yeah that sounds like dissembling bullshit.
The blood clot issue isn’t really that relevant in terms of pricks assaulting children.
The issue is the corruption of basic medical ethics, which is egregious in terms of the attack on young people.
Any doctor giving an unnecessary injection to children should be struck off.
“Around 300 volunteers signed up” aka “Around 300 volunteers of minor age were signed up by their parents.”
Someone call social services ! Poor kids.
The parents of these children are unfit for purpose, but I doubt that our generally abysmal social services will be the answer.
They’re not unfit for purpose, they’ve been duped. Many people are.
I am appalled that parents, who’s first duty is to protect their children, offer them up as sacrificial guinea pigs to the state religion of Covid.
I’m sure the kids will thank them for the rest of their ” what has that gene therapy done to me?” lives.
Leaving aside the evidence that children can neither contract or pass on this virus, what responsible adult believes that children are capable of giving informed consent to this procedure? “Around 300 volunteers signed up” is typical BBC spin – disingenuous and cynical. It should have read “Around 300 clueless kids ‘were’ signed up” by their irresponsible and frankly idiotic parents.
Sometimes I despair…
As an aside, I feel deeply uncomfortable with the idea of children volunteering for this trial. Young children in particular do not have the mental capacity to volunteer and so it must be their parents doing so on their behalf.
Do you think they’re using children in care in these trials?
I mean I’ve encountered fake Russian provocateurs online putting their kids in these trials, but their profiles are paper thin, and their rationalisations are superficial. I doubt very much that they’re real.
So apart from one mad bloke in the press who was in a vaccine trial himself, and whose daughter was “doing her bit” in this one, I was wondering if the easiest way to avoid scrutiny would be to use children in care, and HMG are already in loco parentis.
Aah it’s the old John Gummer..

The children’s Health Defense run by Robert Kennedy Jr., today mentioned a sixteen year old boy in the USA developed Guillion-Barre, according to the boy post vaccination. His doctors said it was a coincidence. Guillen-Barre is rare in an otherwise healthy kid,. The word coincidence just keeps rolling off the tongues of health care providers. I am wondering when medics, nurses and other healthcare professionals, watching the ongoing injury and death post vaccination, will speak out. Read the CDC’s VAERS. It is an eye watering read.
Semantics matter! These injectables have been granted ’emergency authorisation’ only. They have not been approved!
Same untruth on FB. No wonder the uptake & unquestioning acceptance is so high.
I would venture that any parent/guardian permitting their child to have a medical intervention without any proven benefit to the child but with a potential risk is perilously close to “child abuse”. There is case law for MMR but in this situation where there is no proven benefit~? Where are the civil lawyers backing the freedom of the under 16 not to be used as adult shields?>
There are no statistical, medical, psychological, economic or ethical reasons for vaccinating children or young adults for this virus as they are the least affected if at all.
There have been 421 fatal reactions reported to the Yellow Card scheme from the Oxford/AstraZeneca jab, 95 in the last week of reporting to 21 March. The MHRA’s method of presenting data precludes being able to discover what the associated symptoms have been.
”Around 300 volunteers signed up….”
What? ”Signed up”? These were CHILDREN, I presume. That is beyond disgusting. In other words – their parents handed them over for experimentation. How appalling.
