Chief Medical Officers Say All U.K. Teenagers Should Be Vaccinated against Covid

The U.K.’s four Chief Medical Officers have advised that all healthy teenagers should be vaccinated against Covid, while admitting that “in those aged 12-15, [the virus] rarely, but occasionally, leads to serious illness, hospitalisation and even less commonly death”. The decision will trigger the launching by the Government of a vaccine roll-out for 12-15 year-olds, despite ministers being warned by the JCVI of the risk of side effects. The Telegraph has the story.

Professor Chris Whitty and his counterparts in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland said the benefits of vaccinating young people and reducing transmission of the virus outweighed potential costs of side effects for children and disruption to school timetables.

They also recommended that ministers “present the risk-benefit decisions in a way that is accessible to children and young people, as well as their parents”. 

“A child-centred approach to communication and deployment of the vaccine should be the primary objective,” they said.

Boris Johnson, Professor Chris Whitty and Sir Patrick Vallance, the Chief Scientific Adviser, will give a press conference on Tuesday in which the Prime Minister is expected to announce he has accepted his chief medical officers’ advice and the rollout for 12 to 15 year-olds will begin.

A similar roll-out for children aged 16 and over is already running.

In a letter to Sajid Javid, the Health Secretary, and other health ministers in devolved parts of the U.K., the medical officers warned that “in those aged 12-15, Covid rarely, but occasionally, leads to serious illness, hospitalisation and even less commonly death”.

“The risks of vaccination (mainly myocarditis) are also very rare,” they said. …

They… warned that individual choice to receive the vaccine or not should be respected.

“It is essential that children and young people aged 12-15 and their parents are supported in their decisions, whatever decisions they take, and are not stigmatised either for accepting, or not accepting, the vaccination offer,” they said, adding that information on the jabs should be communicated in a “child-centred” way.

Whitty knows the kids are at no risk from Covid, even at its worst in early 2020, and especially now as it is endemic like its sibling the common cold. SAGE knows the pandemic was over in mid 2020 – as shown by the global genetic pattern of the disease. It now has the pattern of flu, with a small number of regional variations. He also knows that there are no vaccines for diseases caused by RNA viruses. There are just ‘jabs’ based on expected / predicted variant as with the flu.

‘Notices of Liability for Vaccine Harm and Death Sent to the EMA and all Members of the European Parliament – Sep 13, 2021’
https://doctors4covidethics.org/as/

‘As the European Parliament resumed on Monday September 13 2021, with their first order of business a debate over health and disease prevention to be followed by a vote on Tuesday, a letter of Notice of Liability for harm and death from COVID-19 vaccines was served on all members of the European Parliament, and sent to the Executive Director of the European Medicines Agency.
The notice was a accompanied by a summary of the latest scientific evidenceregarding vaccine-immune interactions, and a letter from Holocaust survivors demanding a halt to the vaccination program and an end to unlawful medical coercion. The notice read:
“The rush to vaccinate first and research later has left you in a position whereby COVID-19 vaccination policy is now entirely divorced from the relevant evidence-base.”’

The universities, military and athletic conferences that are either mandating vaccines for healthy young people, or coercing these people to get vaccinated to participate are facing a huge liability risk in my opinion. The main liability risk will come from cases of myocarditis, especially in young vaccinated males. These officials cannot say they did not know about these possible risks. Also, they must know the risk of mortality from COVID proper in these age cohorts is as tiny as 1 in several million.

“They warned….that individual choice to receive the vaccine or not should be respected…..and that young people and their parents are not stigmatised for accepting or not accepting the vaccination offer”

but only if you are 12 to 15. Anyone else who has made the choice not to receive the vaccine is fair game for discrimination.

Plus has anyone any ideas as to why the government has cancelled the Valneva order? The company deny it has broken a supply agreement but the government claims that it has (I know which one I believe and it’s not this government)

As this is supposed to be an inactivated vaccine which deals with the whole virus rather than just the spike protein, it looked a possibility for OH and I to be able to travel abroad again if we absolutely had to be vaccinated to do so.

I don’t think anyone of the decision makers is deluded. Just using the opportunity to make money and/or achieve political goals.

I think there is also a bigger geopolitical strategy in play for making the whole world more China-like. In order to be able to better defend in case of (another) biological attack initiated by China. It’s easier to repel it if your population is trained to follow orders, much more difficult if the population effectively turns against the government (and itself) following an assault. At this moment it cannot be explained openly because China is still not just a threat, but also a major trade partner. But in due course (e.g. if a more overt conflict develops) this motivation may be officially revealed to mobilize masses into compliance.

According to the Yellow Card scheme (which is hugely under-reported), approximately 1-in-30,000 die after having the jab. And the chances of other, significant side-effects, are more prevalent.

Yellow Cards are not “hugely underreported”. Rather, if anything they are overreported because, just like the “covid deaths” they do not represent causation or “excess deaths” over the statistically known population averages. You can’t just attribute every reported death which occurred after a vaccination to the effect of the vaccine. People keep dying for many reasons, whether vaccinated or not. And the great majority of reported “adverse events” aren’t really such – fever/headache/muscle pain are all expected temporary side effects, and yet they are still reported, leading to the overwhelming number of “yellow cards”. From my own experience, I get sinus congestion and cough after swimming in cold outdoor water (which I do quite regularly). Had I reported these symptoms as “adverse events” after vaccination, some idiot online would surely point to them and claim them as terrible consequences of the vaccine. Had I not known beforehand that I would get exactly these symptoms and went swimming soon after vaccination, hell, I might personally be confused into believing that they were side effects of the vaccine. From that small example you can see how much bs gets reported via yellow cards (and those who run the system are very well… Read more »

OK. Replying to the Devil’s Advocate above, and The Daily Septic Sceptic and its ‘Readers’ may I add the following thoughts?

The Yellow Card system and other like adverse reaction systems such as VAERS all point to events many orders of magnitude over what has come to be accepted for normal medications & vaccinations. In the main these reporting systems are used by medical professionals, indeed the process in filing an event is difficult for a lay person to complete. 

So why are Governments and Chief Medical Officers ignoring the adverse data and surging ahead with UNIVERSAL vaccinations regardless??? Other than crass stupidity and/or ignorance may I suggest another scenario, the adverse reaction data is perfectly acceptable!! We should not compare the figures relative to ’Normal’ medical interventions, but to very serious treatments such as Chemotherapy, Radiotherapy, Open Heart surgery, etc.
in which case the adverse side effects of mRNA vaccines are at the lower end. 

If this reasoning is correct, then the danger of SARS-Cov-2 virus and its dis-ease Covid19 is in the same ‘League’ as Cancer etc. WHAT AREN’T THEY TELLING US?????

This is a very short term perspective.

1) we know the jab potentiates infection (see recent PHE data) with the delta variant
2) we have near certainty the virus was created in a lab in Wuhan, so there is Chinese involvement and know how to a degree
3) we know that gain of function research has been conducted and the ability to design viruses with greater affinity for different receptors exists

Its not beyond imagination that the Chinese, should they wish to take out the US, could release another variant that was more harmful than delta….perhaps has greater affinity for the non binding antibodies, leading to ADE in a chunk of the vaccinated. Even if it’s only 10pct, that would LITERALLY decimate the military if they are all jabbed.

Also likely 10pct of the military will resign if jabs are forced…so you may not even need to do that.

It would be just like the Chinese to take US funding to do this research and then turn it back on the west. Not out of character at all.

I would agree that the Wuhan Lab leak is most likely the initial cause of this epidemic, however a malicious or military element behind the research is by no means certain. Gain of function research is important for many future advances in medical technology such as developing virus delivery systems carrying a drug payload to targeted cancer cells. Another Chinese ‘speciality’ is Xenotransplantation, and for this virus & DNA manipulation is essential.

Accidents and mishaps happen, but many cultures do not like to ‘Own Up’. I don’t think we in the West are totally innocent of this!

Nah, as of today, it’s still CCP making disobedient billionaires disappear, not the other way around.

In essence the world is run by people with the strongest military – the strength derives from weapon numbers, technology, but also soldier morale (which can be boosted by childhood brainwashing into patriotism combined with repressive authoritarian rule).

Of course, a lot of dirty work is outsourced nowadays by governments to private sector military contractors, to compensate for the problems with morale. But it is still state actors hiring thugs, not the other way around (lobbying and corruption nothwithstanding).

If it was China, the US will be totally pissed. It has spent billions outsourcing its military BW research to thrid party countries as an end run around the 1974(?) BW Research Convention, yet the Chinese managed to outsmart them with one poxy lab!

This map shows the countries hosting the labs – not the number of labs. There are 6 labs in Ukraine alone. The frequency at which strange inexplicable disease outbreaks occur in close proximity is purely coincidental. The location of the labs is revealing – surrounding ‘enemy’ states and close to countries rich in untapped resources.

comment image

The labs are operated by US staff under diplomatic protection and the host country has no say in the research.

Even if the virus ‘escaped’ from the Wuhan lab, the research was funded by US (human side) and UK (animal side). The UK side claimed there was no possibility of transfer of knowledge owing to a Chinese wall between the two groups.

Please do not forget that where Blackrock/Vanguard (and others) run ETFs they become shareholders by virtue of OTHER buyers resulting in these stocks appearing in the index that the ETF tracks.

Of course they may choose to buy on non ETF funds, but the vast amount of these holdings are the realist of the ETF computer tracking programme – in the main, simplified explanation.

Well, we had situation like that yesterday. At a family event, where we hadn’t seen people for well over a year, one of our in-laws told my husband to stay away from her because he hadn’t been vaxxed! He was bloody furious! He asked her if she’d been vaxxed then, and she said she’d had both jabs, but he was a danger to her! “So don’t you believe your vax works then” he said. “If anything you’re a danger to ME!” he continued “and, btw, how do you know whether I have been vaxxed or not?!!!” She then marched off. He couldn’t believe what he was hearing because what she said was totally illogical. He’d also only told his mum he wouldn’t be taking it, and despite the fact that he’d tried explain the dangers, she totally ignored him and had hers anyway…oh such a long story… and now she’s told other family members about his private medical decision, who have made it their business to judge!!!!

Had it not been a family event, a joint wedding anniversary and birthday for said mum in law, we would have really opened up the discussion. But I’ve just recently had a major bereavement in my own family, and feelings are very raw at the moment. My in-laws have been really kind and supportive, with no Covid paranoia shown, so we were shocked when it happened. The good thing was that none of us allowed it to spoil the day, and we were all grown up enough to push personal views aside for the duration, and come together to have a well overdue celebration with family, which in itself shoves two fingers up to all the nonsense.

I think that you’ve illustrated the really dangerous problem – which is not about hordes of people dropping dead, as some imagine, but the assault on civilised behaviour.

One of the effects of the programming that has taken place is to reduce a lot of individuals below the state of a normal civilized human being to a that of knuckle-dragging compliance and antagonism.

I think many of us will have noticed this fear-induced, irrational antagonism or revulsion that a lot of brainwashed individuals have developed. It is, essentially, induced sociopathy – a mental illness.

It’s called “othering” (or outgroup/ingroup thinking) and is basically the same mechanism as underlying racism and other evil behavior. The irony is that while all the woke nutcakes are triggered to foam at their mouth when racism is mentioned, they actively encourage and partake in exactly the same behavior toward groups who disagree with them, the unvaccinated being the most recent scapegoat designated for them by their so-called “leaders”.

P.S. Today my own mother insulted me – for opposing vax passes – by calling me anti-vaxxer, and implying that I am “just like Irene” (Irene being her truly nutty anti-vaxxer homeopathy-loving friend – of the sort you meet in this comment section).

Question: Why can’t or won’t reporters QUANTIFY the number of 12 to 15 year olds who have died or been hospitalized from COVID?

The word “rarely” doesn’t come close to characterizing the real risk to this age cohort. The correct modifier to describe this risk should be microscopic.

In the U.K. in the first year of the pandemic, SIX healthy children died of COVID – out of 12 million children. Thus the mortality risk for children with no serious pre-existing condition was approximately 1 in 2 million (0.0001 percent).

The probability a healthy child – one with no severe or chronic or “life altering” medical conditions – would die from COVID were literally 0.000 percent. You have to go out to four decimal points to capture the “risk.” The risk are actually about 1 in 5 million for children who are not minorities. For some reason, mortality rates are much higher for minority children (and adults).

Also, to provide context, someone needs to calculate the Infection Fatality Rate for children for influenza and for COVID. Per my research, influenza is at least twice as deadly for children … probably 4 or 5 times as deadly. This requires some guesstimates as no one really knowns how many children have really contracted the virus. The real figure would be at least four times higher than the confirmed figure (based on PCR positive results).

Once someone has the courage to report this, simply ask parents why they were willing to send their kids to school for all those years when the risk they would die from the flu or pneumonia were much higher than the risk their child would die from COVID.

Totally rational but, I fear, the neurotic among them would respond with something like “I know! I can’t believe we were so careless! But at least we have masking and social distancing now!”
maybe it would be better to compare the Covid (non) risk with risk factors from things they wouldn’t dream of giving up?

The death rate in that age group is normally extremely low. Even a small number more is going to show in the mortality figures, so I wonder what reasoning will be used to explain it away. If the politicians behind this decision were even vaguely numerate they would realise that the risk to their careers was significant. Not to mention the risk from enraged parents who by then have nothing to lose by taking extreme measures.

Were post-mortem examinations carried out on those six children? it’s entirely possible that there were unknown pre-existing conditions.

There will always be a proportion of kids where dangerous conditions do exist. When I was at secondary school a lad in the same form as me collapsed and died in the playground from an unsuspected heart condition.

No. But the authors actually pointed out these six children COULD have had undisclosed pre-existing conditions. These six simply hadn’t been hospitalized with pre-existing conditions before they passed away. 19 of 25 were identified as having pre-existing or “life altering” medical conditions. The researchers knew this because all 19 had been to the hospital due to these conditions before.

I made a similar argument in a conversation today (that only 3 people in my age group have died in the entire city since the beginning of the pandemic – according to official stats).

And the counterargument was “right, but you wouldn’t be saying that if you were one of those three”.

People don’t get convinced by numbers. They get convinced by recycled photos, videos and sob stories about suffocating covid deniers – see MSM reports and government ad campaigns. This propaganda may appear crude and silly to a thinking person, but we should never forget that most people are NOT thinking.

Chicken pox is more dangerous to children than SARS-CoV-2, and more significantly to other members of the family like pregnant relatives and grand parents; not forgetting teachers who may be pregnant, yet there has never been a requirement for vaccination or sending children home from school because of a single case.

Told to go away and come back with the political “right” answer they did.
Science left a while ago.

We know from adult data a single dose of Pfizer provides at best 10-30% against Delta (and then wanes) so realistically a single jab will do absolutely nothing at all for teenage case rates, protect education or anything else.

We know we can’t give two jabs due to the firmer link between it and heart inflammation (this week pre-print [ https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.08.30.21262866v1 ] has teenage boys a 6x increased risk from vaccine vs actual covid).

So its being seen to be doing something even if the medical and scientific evidence suggests it’ll do absolutely nothing.

Whitty has become a politician.

Here are some things that children aged 13 to 15 CANNOT do:-
Get a tattoo
Get married
Smoke cigarettes
Buy alcohol
Consent to sexual activity
Buy a lottery ticket
Buy a bladed article, including kitchen knives, even for cookery
Enter into a contract
Buy fireworks
Learn to drive
Watch an 18 certificate film.

Most, if not all, of the above are reserved for people aged 18 or over; or 16 in some cases.

They cannot do these things because society has decided that, as children, they need protection from making silly or unwise decisions that could harm them; either in the short term or longer. As adults we recognise their vulnerability, and sheer lack of life experience because of their youth.

But they are going to be able to consent to a medical treatment (a “vaccine”) that may make them ill or even kill them? A decision in which information is going to be presented in a “child friendly” way?

This is wicked beyond belief.

Criminals. I still can’t believe that for £22 per jab or whatever that payment is to our healthcare professionals, they are prepared to subject healthy children to unknown risk without any informed consent. It’s certainly interesting that many care home workers and NHS staff are now prepared to leave their jobs rather than face the mandated jab but they’ve all been quite happy to jab people they cared for and their patients without a word or protest just to keep their jobs.

This is the NHS millions have been clapping for – https://www.ukcolumn.org/article/feet-clay-and-clapping-nhs

The jabbing is mostly going to be performed in schools by underqualified people off the streets given a quick “training” and set loose on our children.

They kept this out of the hands of qualified medical professions because they know these acts put them in breach of their medical responsibility to their patients and there is a possibility of doctors finally refusing to harm their patients..

One of the reasons that the jabs are often fatal is that they are supposed to be delivered intra-muscularly, something that requires ‘aspiration’ of the syringe to check that no blood comes back. This is not being done so increasing the chances of the vaccine ending up in the vasculature then quickly to heart, lungs, brain, liver, spleen, ovaries, testicles etc, where they do damage. It is only when the damage is acute that the known side effects occur, but low level chronic damage is inevitable and that is what will result in medium and long term adverse effects.
Just because you don’t die at the point of vaccination doesn’t mean you have dodged the bullet.

The myocarditis risk can manifest with sudden cardiac arrest (and potentially almost instant death) … or this risk can remain dormant for years and kill someone many or several years later (or cause a serious health event). So with myocarditis, it might take years before we start seeing the real adverse and potentially lethal effects. It’s inevitable in my opinion.

Yes the myocarditis causes irreversible death of cardiac cells. As the heart ages its ability to compensate for this reduction in pumping efficiency declines, leading to eventual heart failure. The degree of damage depends on the initial degree of loss of myocytes (heart muscle cells) so you may become an invalid by twenty, forty, fifty…who knows?

What reveals the genocidal intent of the vax plan is that myocarditis is being portrayed as something that you can recover from. Well, yes, you will recover, but only for a few years…you cannot tell how long.

The mRNA technology is a drug delivery mechanism. The Covid drug gives them free Phase III testing with total legal immunity ‘cos vaxxine. Covid is ideal for them as it is low fatality with predictable adverse reactions, making it an excellent testbed for the delivery mechanism itself.

Their aim is to use mRNA techology to deliver ‘personalised’ drugs which means massive kerching for them. ‘Personalised’ drugs gets rid of all the pesky expensive multi-phase testing as each drug targets a specific person. It also removes the possibility of class actions in case of problems. There is no ‘class’ as each drug is person-specific. Or so they say. But don’t even think of analysing the drugs as they will be patented.

“It is essential that children and young people aged 12-15 and their parents are supported in their decisions, whatever decisions they take, and are not stigmatised either for accepting, or not accepting, the vaccination offer,” they said, adding that information on the jabs should be communicated in a “child-centred” way.

Not stigmatised???? Oh, come off it! If course, they’ll be stigmatised, that’ll be the whole point – social approval. Next they’ll be saying the adults won’t be stigmatised either…oh, hang on! And…”information to be communicated in a “child-centred” way”? Like everything bloody else…

I cannot comment on the modelling which produced those figures, but, given the political pressure, I suspect that it was highly biased.

The politicians are right out on a limb here. All that is needed is for one or two kids to die from heart conditions and they are in a hard place. If I were a politician I wouldn’t care about the children – but I wouldn’t take that evenly balanced risk with my career.

Short term risks are in part available via Yellow Card data but it’s unclear how reliable that is one way or another, and I have specific medical history that may be relevant that is unlikely to be covered. Long term risks cannot be known. Benefits really depend on the risks of covid (unclear due to dodgy data collection) and the efficacy of the vaccine (unclear due to dodgy data collection). So nothing anything like compelling enough to lead me to get jabbed.

Let’s keep it simple and under-stated :

  • There has been insufficient testing of these novel concoctions, and therefore no satisfactory safety data for the medium or long term exists
  • Short term data on adverse events is not re-assuring
  • Those under 20 are far from any significant risk
  • The absolute risk reduction is around 1%, which, in this context, is non-existent when weighed with risk enhancement.
  • No satisfactory evidence on reductions in transmission or infection exists

Conclusion : Administering these injections for an unremarkable infection falls totally outside the accepted ethical framework, particularly for younger age groups.

It really is that simple.
