Vaccination of 12 Year-Old Australians Likely to Be Given Go-Ahead Within Days

The vaccination of children as young as 12 is likely to be approved by Australian health authorities on Friday despite ongoing debates worldwide on the safety of extending national vaccine roll-outs to children. The approach being considered in England is currently more cautious, with only clinically vulnerable children and those living with vulnerable adults likely to be offered the vaccine – though it is expected that the offer could be extended to all children by the end of the year. The Mail Australia has the story.

Currently, only [Australians] aged 16 or over were recommended to get the jab.

The Therapeutic Goods Administration, which oversees Australia’s medicines and vaccinations, will announce the approval on Friday, the [Australian] Telegraph reported.

For children with underlying health conditions which can make coronavirus more serious, approval to get the vaccine is set to be fast-tracked with it offered to those eligible within days, senior sources say.

Health Minister Greg Hunt said the the new vaccination program would aim to “protect children” and was an “important and welcome additional step”.

“Significantly we planned for this outcome and acquired the vaccines in the event of eligibility,” he said. 

The official approval through the ATAGI should take around four weeks, amid a spate of outbreaks within schools in Victoria.

Several New South Wales schools have also been affected during Sydney’s recent outbreak, including South Coogee Public School in the city’s east where at least four children tested positive.

The outbreak forced 555 primary school students into two weeks of isolation after they were deemed close contacts.

Children as young as 12 have already been receiving vaccines in America for several months. …

The huge change to Australia’s vaccine roll-out comes after Scott Morrison apologised for the program not meeting its targets but insists some of the issues were out of his control.

The only thing the children need protection from are the maniacs wanting to jab the world.

Jabbed for an age group that has a zero statistical chance of any major symptomatic reactions to the coutie.

These types of people are driving policy. Government desires to get voted back in, and ill-informed people like this are going to vote for them. They don’t seem to be capable of working out herd immunity thresholds for themselves, because if they did they’d realise that with the current variants and vaccines the herd immunity threshold is over 100%, ie, impossible to achieve. (it is easy to compute — HIt=(1-(1/R0))/e, where e is the efficiency of the vaccine at protecting against infection and transmission — evidence from Israel suggests that this is now about 30%). They don’t seem to grasp the basics of evolutionary microbiology, in that in vaccinating so many they’ve created enormous selective pressure for the virus to evolve vaccine escape. I find this extraordinary, given that everyone in the world has heard of Darwin and can parrot out ‘survival of the fittest’. They don’t seem to understand that a new medicine/treatment that was invented barely 12 months ago won’t have any data on medium- and long-term risks, no matter how confidence the scientists promoting it might be (who are dependent on saying it it safe for their future wealth). They certainly don’t seem to get that every… Read more »

Sorry, you’re quite wrong though you’re in good company, bending the facts so you don’t have to face the truth, that this is all planned. Thank

Not the technical aspects, I agree with that

I agree with all you wrote, technically. Obviously we can’t know the extent of ADE & I cling to the notion that, as the ‘vaccines’ don’t work properly, perhaps they’ll be too crap even to cause ADE!
The cases stats are not trustworthy so we should monitor all causes mortality
Even that is subject to distortion even if honestly reported, because the NHS is at a low ebb

2 groups of people in the world right now. Those that have studied history and those that haven’t. The moron/soy boy in this video is in the latter grouping. If he comes to my home to jab me then he will need to be very well armed and prepared for a fight.

Kids that age have more chance of a serious and (heaven forbid) a fatal reaction to the vaccine than from catching and dying from covid19.

This is insane.

Yes, the risks of either are low, do the ratio throws up extreme ratios. I estimate it as 50x more likely to die from vaccines than the virus

What baffles me is how Australian parents are happy with this decision?

Allowing the government to inject their children with a trial vaccine with known serious side-effects and even deaths because of a virus with a virtually 0% fatality rate for children of this age.

And lets not forget that this vaccine does not stop you catching or passing on the virus (see Sajid Javid)

I can’t understand what is going in places like Australia, New Zealand and Canada – I really cant’? Its like they’ve all been transformed into nations of nervous nellies.

Have they been putting something in the drinking water over there or something?

Its all gone crazy!

Its like that Marvin Gaye song … “What’s Going On”.

I have been puzzled how the two countries of Australia and New Zealand, which had, to paraphrase, a robust attitude to much of life, especially authority, have changed so much. I then saw, a propos of their desert island approach, that a very substantial percentage (>30) of Australians are “first generation”. The Australians now are markedly different to those that fought in two wars. They are now as weedy a bunch as we are now in Britain.

Australia and New Zealand appear to be 2 of the testing grounds worldwide for the great reset. Compared with 2019, how many more fascist dictatorships do we now have? I’ve lost count.

What’s the legal/criminal term for administering a pharmaceutical product to someone knowing it is a) unnecessary and b) may lead to their death?

Manslaughter?
Culpable homicide?
Unlawful killing?
Grievous Bodily Harm?
Assault with a Deadly Weapon?
Causing Death by Medical Negligence?

Or, with a bit of premeditation and malice aforehought, is it just plain old fashioned murder?

The Australian government is lucky that the justice system has completely broken down there, as here, otherwise they could be looking at a long stretch in Cell Block H.

God willing, justice will catch up with them one day.

NO child should be given this experimental shit, vulnerable or not, living with a vulnerable adult or not. There is no excuse for this criminal action against children, anywhere in the world.

Having lived half my life in Australia until a few years back I can say the tall poppy syndrome still rules – and anyone who sticks their head up either leaves or gets knocked down – albeit there are a lot of disillusioned and fighting Aussies who loathe this entire response and will refuse experimental jabs – they are working behind the scenes but def a small minority which is one reason I left – an awful culture that is and always will be convicts and corrupt rulers

I suppose there is a case to be made for ‘vaccinating’ the clinically vulnerable cohort of children as their early deaths will remove a lifetime burden of care from national healthcare organisations – and free up more cash to bung to their greedy mates.

There’s an admission from the horse’s mouth that the political class are not omnipotent. Now if he could realise that the elimination of SARS CoV2 and the climate are also out of his and any one else’s control, the better.
