12 Year-Olds to Be Given Covid Vaccines from September

by Michael Curzon
23 April 2021 10:59 AM

Children as young as 12 will be given Covid vaccines when they return to school after summer, according to leaked “core planning” documents. Even younger children could be vaccinated shortly afterwards, with Oxford University’s ongoing child vaccine study testing the AstraZeneca jab on 300 children aged six to 17. The Government reportedly wants to vaccinate the young to help the nation avoid a third wave of Covid infections. MailOnline has the story.

Children as young as 12 will get their coronavirus vaccines from September as the Government tries to avoid a third wave, reports say…

There are also reportedly plans for Britons over 50 to be given booster jabs in the autumn amid fears over Covid variants sweeping Europe…

A source told the Sun: “Plans are in place to vaccinate children aged 12 upwards, and senior Government officials have been briefed.

“Though controversial, it is deemed necessary to stop the U.K. regressing in its remarkable fight against Covid.”

Health officials are also said to be looking into jabbing children as young as five from July in a “worst-case scenario”.

The leaked report shows the Government’s contingency plan if the roadmap out of lockdown this summer leads to a surge in variants…

The Department of Health said no decision has been taken, adding: “We will be guided by experts once clinical trials have concluded.”

This comes in spite of the low risk presented by Covid to young people (as few as 14 people under the age of 20 in England and Wales have died of Covid in 2021) and the fact that a large proportion of those who are vulnerable – whom the Government fears young people could infect – have been vaccinated. (More than 11 million people have now received two doses of a Covid vaccine and 95% of over-50s have been vaccinated.)

Last month, Sean O’Grady, the Associate Editor of the Independent, said that the vaccination of the young should be mandatory.

I would vaccinate every child old enough to receive it, as a condition of receiving a state education. …

Of course, in the end, we do not want to live in a country where gangs of officials grab unvaccinated children or adults, wrestle them to the ground and forcibly inject them. But we do want to live in a country where rights are balanced by responsibilities, and where mutual obligations need to be fulfilled. 

Incentives and penalties, taxes and fines, court orders and conditions of employment – restrictions on liberty – are commonplace in our daily lives; for the protection of the community as a whole. If we want to drive the wrong way down a motorway, then there are legal consequences for doing so.

Meanwhile, the reported risk of suffering from blood clots after taking the AstraZeneca vaccine (Britain’s primary Covid vaccine) has doubled in a fortnight, according to new data from the Medical Healthcare products and Regulatory Agency. The European Medicines Agency has also said that a warning about blood clots should be added to labels for the Johnson & Johnson Covid vaccine, which is likely to be approved for use in the U.K. in the coming weeks. Dr Alan Mordue, a retired public health consultant, recently wrote for Lockdown Sceptics that “the potential benefits [of vaccination] may not be justified by the potential risks” for people under the age of 50.

The Mail’s report is worth reading in full.

If the child is a wolf, surely he or she should not be required to attend school?

So as a logical consequence, seeing any child can make this claim, compulsory schooling is de-facto abolished.

Compulsory schooling does not exist in the UK. But many children would benefit greatly from being “de-schooled”.

Not only that – wolves are pack animals, and it’s cruel to separate him from other wolves. He should be released into the wild in Canada, or at least sent to a zoo.

Perhaps that was the child’s plan, then quietly to become human again once out, but not let on. But it hasn’t worked out. Kid thinks: “What do I do now?”

I consider this to be a very effective and successful move by the boy. He is following the principle of reductio ad absurdum. He rejects the whole “choose whatever gender you want to be today” mantra, and so is fighting fire with fire. He is saying, OK, let’s follow all this to its logical conclusion, and if the conclusion is absurd (my being a wolf), then the premise is false.

Good luck to him, I say.

I hope it’s like this, at least. Or the boy could indeed be well and truly disturbed and betrayed by all those figures of authority around him.

As with everything that’s well outside the parameters of what’s considered ‘normal behaviour’ I’d be straight away looking at the parents. I’d be asking what on earth this kid’s home life is like because this is where the parents have to step up and take responsibility. I’m all for kids being a bit crazy, testing the boundaries or acting in some eccentric way, because teenage years and high school life do come with their own specific set of stresses and challenges, but for crying out loud, if you’re going to cosplay being an animal then just make it a hobby, something that you do for fun outside of school. Anything else requires immediate psychiatric input before it escalates further.

I can’t make up my mind about this. Is this about a clever youngster taking the Micky out of idiot adults? Are we dealing with a disturbed child having a personal crisis? Or is it yet more sign of the disintegration of our civilisation?

Its possible, but more likely a fad that the modern socialist-progressive teaching mind has dangerously indulged. I remember a few kids around 11-12 a long time ago when I was a school kid, came up with this sort of make believe in school, were humoured or ignored and simply grew out of it.

Liberal progressivism is a virus and it is spreading all over the western world faster than covid on speed. One of its aspects is to turn every human behaviour, no matter how absurd into a malady, a condition or an illness and then categorise it and label it and then government and the NHS must spend time and money treating that absurdity. Once someone has been diagnosed, everyone else is supposed to blindly accept the nonsense, or they will likely get into all kinds trouble. —-This would all really be quite funny if it were not so pathetic.

He could just identify as a werewolf, I suppose. Best of both worlds then. As long as he doesn’t try re-enacting some of the scenes from An American Werewolf In London ( which traumatized me when I was a kid. Special effects stood the test of time, though 😮 ) or even Dog Soldiers.
”Stick to the path, keep clear of the moors. Beware the full moon” I used to think werewolves really did exist for years after that.

They shouldn’t just allow it they should encourage it. In other cultures that child would be identified as a future shaman, an intercessor with other worlds. They should provide him with a pelt and a head dress at least. And try to make him understand that one day in times of dire need his service may be needed.

I have a lot of time for shamanism/shamanic practices but I’m not convinced a shaman would identify as a wolf (or any other species) rather than identifying as human and having the wolf as their spirit guide. I doubt this child has the faintest idea about shamanism so this is unlikely to be why they identify as a wolf unless, for reasons we don’t know, the wolf spirit has reached out to them.

I fully support this childs transition and suggest the following methodology;
Goes naked at all times
Is kept in an enclosure to keep it away from the children identifying as sheep
Is fed raw meat and or left to hunt own food
Is left to set own territorial boundaries by urination and defecation within it’s enclosure.
I suspect after a while it won’t be ‘lycan’ that lifestyle 🙂

I presume children who identify as wolves would soon drop the idea if they were only offered raw meat to eat.

You must remember that for a wolf child or a wolf man the moon is very important. Even for dogs they will behave differently when it is a full moon and some people as well. Nuture him and instruct him but let him obey his instincts and fulfil his destiny.

So tell the child-wolf that from now on its diet consists of raw meat it has hunted and killed itself.

And wait patiently until it demands human food …. about 6 hours, I would guess.
