Ministers Dithering Over Decision on Whether to Vaccinate Children against Covid

The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) has “reached some conclusions” on whether to recommend the vaccination children against Covid, with previous reports suggesting that it will advise against this move until there is more safety data. But while JCVI members say they are “perplexed” by the Government stalling on this matter, a Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) spokesman says ministers are waiting for a “formal recommendation” before moving any further. The Telegraph has more.

Senior JCVI members have previously publicly questioned the ethics of vaccinating a population that faces only a tiny risk of serious illness from Covid.

However, Professor Chris Whitty, England’s Chief Medical Officer, last week suggested the Government was sympathetic to the idea when he said there was a “wider question” about disruption to schooling.

On Sunday night, a source said: “It is about reconciling the view of the Committee – which of course is evolving over time anyway – and what the politicians are minded to do. I guess that process is taking longer than usual.”

JCVI members were “perplexed” by the delay, the source added, saying: “We’ve deliberated and we’ve reached some conclusions, but the position we’re in is that we’re waiting for a joint communique from DHSC, from Matt Hancock and the whole team.”

On Sunday night, the Department of Health denied that ministers had yet received JCVI’s advice…

JCVI members – most of whom are independent scientists who offer their expertise to the committee – are known to be seeking the assurance of real-world safety data from mass roll-outs in other countries…

A key issue of concern is understanding whether mRNA vaccines such as the Pfizer jab increase the risk of myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control said there have been more than 300 cases reported among the millions of teens and young adults who have received an mRNA vaccine, but that in the “vast majority” of cases the inflammation went away…

A DHSC spokesman said: “Following a robust review of the evidence, the MHRA concluded the Pfizer Covid vaccine meets the high standards of safety, effectiveness and quality required and has authorised its use for people aged 12 and above.

“Ministers have not received JCVI advice and no decisions have been made on whether people aged 12 to 17 should be routinely offered Covid vaccines. The Government will continue to be guided by the advice of the JCVI and has asked for its formal recommendation. We will update in due course.”

If these people decide to vaccinate children, given all the safety questions, given the questions over fertility, they are committing a crime against humanity. All of them – the Cabinet, Sage, the volunteers doing the vaccinating, those ringing round, the GP surgeries getting in touch – all of them. Anyone who doesn’t resign, doesn’t speak out, doesn’t step aside. All criminals.

Yes, couldn’t agree more. I don’t know if Laurence Fox’s Reclaim party have issued any statements on this. But someone needs to say: “If we get into power we will launch criminal prosecutions against anyone who knowingly participated in a coercive mass vaccination programme which subjected children to the risk of death or serious injury.”

In my view that would be wholly proportionate.

The best way to do that would be to set up a public inquiry with power of criminal prosecution. There is precedent for that.

Well I hope this lifts some scales off eyes ATL. There is only one way to read that: the government wants to subject healthy children to a vaccine that will kill or maim a significant number of them.

Government wants to point at someone else when more kids inevitably die from the vaccine than from the Rona.

“Safety data from mass roll-out in other countries”.

I seem to remember a report the other day about record post-vaccination mortality among 20-29 year-olds in Israel. What further information do they need?

Number of healthy children dying from “Covid”: that number again – O!

Geez, how can you improve on an already existing 99.998 % survivability rate for children? You can’t. The chance of getting a bad, long-lasting, or terminal reaction to these “vaccines” vs natural immune reaction should make the calculation easy.

Vitally important that we are all ready to send notices of liability to anyone in our local community who takes part in this disgusting and egregious crime against children. That’s your local doctor, your kid’s headteacher, education authorities etc. ALL must be forced to accept culpability.

Parents at our children’s school must be made aware of the severe danger this presents to their children. I recommend finding likeminded parents and leafleting outside school. Most people are completely unaware of the risks and believe the ‘vaccines’ to be safe and effective. This has the potential to be the greatest catastrophe in human history.

Byram Bridle has written a paper in them that is good material, but long.

maybe an abbreviated version of this? I was going to give it a go to make a presentation to teach my 12 and 14 year olds some facts so that they are armed to resist brainwashing from any covidian teachers.

I downloaded that one yesterday, and extracted the relevant section (under Apple Preview), which is only around 1.4 MB. The rest of it is copies of two others from Pfizer, one in Japanese as well. I suggest doing that sort of thing, then the main part by Dr. Bridle is only 36 pages (inc a list of references). Small enough to dish out by email then, if anyone wants to – I did to some of my ‘mates’.

The tone of this article is lamentable, if not deranged. Why do you want to vaccinate children when it is no benefit and puts them at risk of injury for which data piles up IF YOU ARE PAYING ATTENTION.

It’s defensive bureaucracy, covering their arse, as it were. Not necessarily in the public interest.

The government are scared to try it.. but why be scared government.. most of the sheep will comply. Most will “vaccinate” their kids.

They are only dithering because they know it is wrong, but in the end they will push through and do it. It will be up to parents to stop it.

Yes and some talking head on the BBC was just putting forward the plan to inject the covid vaccine into one arm and the flu vaccine into the other to save time. Well that’s going to work.

The Government, Whitty etc being the absolute self serving cowards that they are, are terrified that if they recommend the vaccine for Children, and when that first child dies, or is seriously affected by the experimental drug, that they the politicians, and the advisors wil be held responsible, and then all their power, all their fame all their access to lots and lots of money will be lost. So what they will do is push the decision down, they will tell schools, and parents its their decision, they will keep up with the terror and the coercion, but never explicitly say get the injection. This way they in their minds avoid responsibility. However; let us not forget they financed the development of this drug, they gave it emergency clearance without full testing or licensing, they have been menaceing the Adult public with threats of exclusion, loss of employment and even withholding Medical treatment (Matt Hancock last week), if it not taken. Thus far over 1200 Adults have died from the treatment that are known of, over 800,000 have suffered side effects, many life changing and still they are desperate to push it into the veins not knowing the long term… Read more »

If the gene therapy jabs only offer a potential reduction of any symptoms and neither prevent infection or spread (as the makers of it informed us), then there can be absolutely no utility, and certainly no ethics involved, in giving it to children, who very rarely even have any symptoms and mostly just shrug it off. Something incredibly sinister is going on and I personally am past the ‘incompetence’ explanation…it is now clearly about control and depopulation. There can be no other explanation. Parents MUST not allow their children to be violated in this way !

What’s to dither about? It’s clear! You DO NOT trial experimental substances on children. Where’s the quandary? It’s twisted to even raise the question. WTF is going on here?

And who the Fe(k is letting it happen to their kids? They are just as twisted, even more so as parents. It’s not natural.
