The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) is expected to tell U.K. leaders this month that the vaccination of children against Covid is a “political” decision, without offering a firm recommendation either way. If the use of the Pfizer vaccine in 12-16 year-olds is approved by the body, Nicola Sturgeon says Scottish children will be vaccinated “as quickly as possible”. The Telegraph reports that planning on a vaccine roll-out scheme for children aged 12 and over has started already.
In a statement at Holyrood, [the First Minister] acknowledged that giving children Covid jabs could provide them with greater protection and minimise any further disruption to schooling.
However, she refused to guarantee that any rollout would be completed by the start of the new school year in August, noting that vaccine supplies “are not limitless”.
Ms Sturgeon also pointed out that the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), the U.K.’s medicines regulator, has so far only approved the Pfizer vaccine for use among 12 to 15 year-olds.
Pfizer said its trials had shown 100% efficacy and a strong immune response in children between 12 and 15, and also suggested that the vaccine was safe with no unusual side effects.
Its use among children in the U.K. was approved by the MHRA last Friday, with the regulator saying it had carried out a “rigorous review” which showed the vaccine was safe and effective in adolescents.
The JCVI must now advise governments on whether this age group should be vaccinated as part of the U.K. roll-out.
Ms Sturgeon told MSPs: “Vaccination may well be an important way of giving children greater protection, minimising any further disruption to schooling and further reducing community transmission of the virus.
“And so I can confirm that if the JCVI recommends the use of the vaccine for children aged 12 and over, we will move as quickly as possible to implement the advice.”
She later said: “In anticipation of the JCVI giving the go-ahead to vaccination of over-12s, we’ve already started that planning.”
Ms Sturgeon said children with underlying health conditions may be vaccinated first but she could not yet provide a timescale for when pupils would get their jabs. However, she emphasised that the focus remained on vaccinating the adult population.
The First Minister’s announcement came as she refused to reduce Covid restrictions in any part of Scotland, blaming a 50% rise in cases over the past week due to the Indian variant.
School leaders in England have also called on Boris Johnson to vaccinate schoolchildren against Covid before the start of the summer holidays, citing concerns over the Indian Delta Covid vaccine.
The Telegraph report is worth reading in full.
Stop Press: The U.K. Medical Freedom Alliance has raised “grave concerns” about the emergency authorisation of the Pfizer vaccine for children in an urgent open letter to the MHRA.
Given that these vaccines will have virtually no benefit to the children themselves, it is profoundly unethical and indefensible to vaccinate children, especially with an experimental vaccine using novel technology, in what appears to be a misguided attempt to protect adults and achieve herd immunity. We call on the MHRA to exercise caution and immediately reverse their decision.
The letter is worth reading in full.

Can’t even read this. They’re not coming anywhere near mine.
The only sensible response to this madness. Fingers crossed your children aren’t going to face any discrimination/coercion/peer pressure etc.
That’s pretty much policy making 101 with this bunch of criminals.
“People keep talking about ‘time to vaccinate the whole population’, but that is misguided,” … “There’s going to be no vaccination of people under 18. It’s an adult-only vaccine, for people over 50, focusing on health workers and care home workers and the vulnerable.”

Lies, lies, more lies.

This is a bit of a head-scratcher …
On 10th November 2020 UK Health Minister, Matt Hancock, said:
“Vaccine will NOT [my capitals] be used on children. It hasn’t been tested on children … so this is an adult vaccine for the adult population.”
On 4th June 2021 UK Health Minister, Matt Hancock, said:
“Vaccinating children in the UK against Covid-19 will take priority over donating doses to other countries around the world.”
On 6th June 2021 UK Health Minister, Matt Hancock, said:
“There are plenty of good reasons for vaccinating children against coronavirus.”
This looks like Mr Hancock had changed his mind – by a full 180 degrees. So I decided to see what the relative risks are for children from C19. Luckily, I found this most excellent table … Check it out and tell me what conclusions *you* draw.
You can’t believe anything that comes out of his mouth
Frankly, at this point we are so far past the point that this has all gone too far that we have no hope. Remember they wanted to use the Mental Health act on people to force vaccinate.
Wanted to , they will !!.
Actually they won’t, I was worried about that last year, but no one is being sectioned as mental health services have been effectively shut down. I should know as I work for a major London Mental Health Trust ( in a non clinical role).
Is that because the lunatics have taken over the asylum? No offence meant to people with mental health issues- I mean the real lunatics.
Same here in Surrey. I have a family member rapidly deteriorating into depression and at risk of suicide, originating from another health condition that makes his life a misery. All he can get is pills from his GP; he’s been told he’ll have to wait at least a year to see a specialist, if he ever gets to the front of the queue.
But strangely enough non of this is mentioned at all in the Press or TV news.
Really then how do you account for me being put under a section a fortnight ago, im not now tho .
We ALWAYS have hope! Never, ever give up the fight because then they have won.
Hear, hear. Moaning, hand-wringing and despair are the responses of the moral and physical coward.
On the contrary, this will prove to be political suicide. These nutters have been so insulated from proper reason, questioning and opposition that they actually think they can pull this off. No chance.
Especially not when we have real leaders in the US pulling the plug on the whole charade. It’s the beginning of the end.
I’m not sure how much Wee Krankie is being paid per shot – maybe a bonus for every child jabbed – but with any luck this will have secured her prison sentence.
Maybe the latter is just wishful thinking, but I live in hope.
Neither that bitch Srindar, not Sturgeon have children yet they are pushing to inject other peoples’ children with medication that has not passed safety trials and has only been granted an emergency license. Unbelievable.
There are no words
Nicola Sturgeon will have the deaths of many children on her hands.
Satan gives her extra points, vile disgusting creature that she is.
Even Satan thinks Sturgeon and Deadly Devi are a pair of cocks. He prefers the old kind of tyrants who were transparent with their evilness. This lot are a bunch of lying cowards; if the truth ever comes out, watch how quickly they will all turn on each other.
You’re right there. They will blame one another as they mount the tumbril.
I wonder which one of the evil protagonists will be the first to be found dead “in mysterious circumstances” when the wheels start coming off?
What a glorious day that will be!
Aside from the obvious candidates, I really have a lot of animosity for Nuki, Rigby and Cuomo.
I’m not fussed who is first, as long as retribution swiftly follows for the rest of the evil bunch engaged in these crimes against humanity. Tick tock…
I have long thought that many in the health industry were greedy, unethical and poor all round. It now appears that they are also imbeciles.
To describe it as “safe”, even for consenting adults, let alone children, is dishonesty and hubris completely beyond any rational thought.
“The vaccines are incredibly safe” – BBC (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-57203521).
There seem to be so few people, who combine honesty and intelligence, in this country, that we should probably just take over the Isle of Wight and leave the rest to get on with it.
I just want to go back to a time when my lifestyle choices regarding my health were my business and no one else’s. I earned enough to live on, paid my taxes, didn’t break the law, gave to charity, wasn’t mean to people. But suddenly my one decision to do the sensible thing following research – not to have the vaccine – has made me potentially a social pariah compared to a terrorist and – if the threats are to be believed- unable to carry on living in my small flat that I struggled to pay off the mortgage for because some billionaires think we need to comply with whatever plan they have concocted to get richer and destroy society.
Monsters.
These people are monsters.
What’s in for the politicians, so desperate to jab the kids. I’m from the Reagan school of thought, the 9 most terrifying words in the English language are ‘we’re from the government and we’re here to help’
Even allowing for the fact that the nation has been in the grip of mass hysteria for the past year, I’m amazed that the powers that be are rolling out experimental vaccines to children. It simply beggars belief.
It’s a carefully crafted strategy, unfortunately.
First, they gained acceptance of offering rushed, experimental, “vaccines” to the highly CoViD-19 vulnerable. Leaving aside that vulnerability had been exaggerated by mistreatment of the elderly and dubious attributions cause of death, this appeared arguably rational.
Then, they have subtly expanded the mission through progressively lower “priority” groups, handily playing upon the ambiguity of the word “priority”, so as to rouse very little resistance.
Now, they are ready for the coup de grâce. Most parents and grandparents have already taken the needle. So, they believe they’ve experienced that the “vaccines” are (more or less) OK, and, furthermore, having crossed the Rubicon, are predisposed against even considering that they might be otherwise. The government, and BBC, wring their hands and bemoan the amount of schooling that children have missed, including through (government imposed) mass isolation when a pupil receives a positive test result, and declare that the children deserve “vaccinations”, to prevent further disruption of their education. Plus of course, to stop (or encourage) variants developing, and to reduce transmission (to whatever extent this has been established) to older people whose “vaccines” haven’t worked, or who are medically unfit for injection.
We should not forget, also, that they’d already entrenched the “not for yourself but for others” “virtue”, with their “source control” face nappy nonsense.
But they are completely harmless. It must be true, I read it on the BBC. Also, ivernectin is extremely dangerous and doesn’t work. I read that on the BBC too.
I wonder how they will cover up all the deaths. Oh of course, a New Variant specifically affecting children. Nothing to see here.
Sturgeon is a glove puppet of the Gatesian-Faucist forces, just as Boris is. How do they do it? Do they inject them and scoop out their brains with a ladle?
Very good letter from the MFA, definitely is worth reading in full.
No brains to scoop. Just grey fuzz in the head and cold concrete in place of a heart.
1 in every 32,600 adults who have received at least one injection have died. Do the same to children and it will result in the deaths of over 300 children. Children who CANNOT consent to having this done to them.
Wonder if Sturgeon reads much or just follows orders. https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/covid-vaccines-concerns-that-make-more-research-essential/
So how long before the Fat ‘Libertarian’ copies Krankie? It doesn’t usually take that long.
Sturgeon, you are insane. Utterly unethical. Be aware that nhs nurses try to coerce children even when there is no permission form. My child had the good sense to swerve one for flu, but only told me about the incident many months later.
The WHO, regarding consent, state that if a child physically attends school on a day when vax are being done, it is implied consent from the parent for their child to be injected.
https://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/handle/10665/259418/WHO-IVB-14.04-eng.pdf;jsessionid=F0153E80556B3CB707B59E282B140967?sequence=1
Totally unethical. I notice the school no longer gives the dates when the nurses will be attending the school for various innoculations. Used to be published in the school calendar. So maybe that is not an accidental omission.
Maybe a freedom of information request, to find out the unpublished policy, and a statement to the school that such implied consent is denied.
Trouble is that in Scotland, 13 year olds are regarded as in charge of their own destiny. They are even required to give their permission for parents to be able to read their school report. Barking mad.
Today I am a member of the SNP. Tomorrow I will no longer be a member of the SNP. Enough is enough. Many of us Indi-supporters have liked to think that politics in Scotland has more sense, more morals, more ethics – yet I have seen nothing from the majority of the SNP in the last 2 years that backs that assertion in the slightest. Sturgeon, Murrell, Wolffe – are acting on behalf of Westminster IMHO (goodness knows what dirt the establishment have on them -_- )
Not on behalf of Westminster, but under common control, as are the administrations of a great many countries. Please check out the “World Economic Forum” and its “Great Reset”, if you’ve not done so already.
For insight on Scottish corruption, more generally, have a read of this: https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2021/06/an-open-letter-to-lady-dorrian/
I’ve been following Craig Murray’s case closely. Really was the straw that broke the camel’s back for me. What happens at the Balmoral Hotel stays at the Balmoral hotel though…
If you’ve managed to go in believing in the SNP until now, believing six impossible things before breakfast must be a doddle!
Witch.
I actually can’t rationalise this beyond the big bucks going into Big Pharma’s pockets. But then I had a thought. What if we’ve been fooled all along, but not in the way we think we have? What if this virus really is a big killer, longer term? It is after all a new, possibly man-made virus. Will the virus itself have long term implications beyond what we can see now?
But then, wouldn’t this have leaked out by now? And surely people like Sunetra Gupta, John Ioannidis etc would have been more worried too? And someone would surely have spilled the beans?
I’m just speculating, with no scientific background whatsoever, but what are your thoughts?
Agenda 21 and Agenda 30.
One possibility is this is the dry run for Covid 20 or Covid 21. This one would actually be 10 times more deadly. But likely rip through vaccinated and unvaccinated. The blame will go to the unvaccinated and the next step would be forced vaccinations.
Dark, I know.
Yeah, there’s nothing like a spot of optimism for strengthening resistance to tyranny.
Well it looks like the virus was engineered to be dangerous to humans. And it looks like it’s not just the “virus” part that is dangerous, but the spike protein as well seems to cause vascular problems. So it may well cause long-term problems that we can only guess.
However, the vaccines work by creating this spike protein in your body! And (despite assurances to the contrary) these proteins do seem to be getting into the bloodstream. So, if this mass vaccine rollout really is well-intentioned, they seem to have either (a) made a massive mistake, (b) not be following the latest scientific papers describing possible issues with the vaccines, or (c) know something that the rest of us don’t.
Vaccinating children is a triumph of dogma and cowardice over common sense. The only children that have died here ‘with Covid’ have had serious life-limiting conditions. The only argument for vaccinating children is to reduce their transmitting it to adults, but several studies show that just isn’t happening – Covid just doesn’t work in the way that many people lazily think.
it’s time to put children first. We adults should accept the minuscule risk of freeing them to live their lives without adding to the terrible unnecessary additional burdens of reduced life chances and higher debt burdens that we’ve already inflicted on them.
Will be children under 12 next…
Yes, looks like they are doing trials of Pfizer vaccine on babies in USA
48 scientists and clinicians signed a joint letter expressing deep concern over the dangers implicit in vaccination of Children . The study the Government used to show safety is in the NEJM. but is concerning because it’s short term follow up and the disturbing publications from Israel and US of myocarditis in the young post vaccination. This is a very serious issue for an old clinician,such as me; we have seen patients suffer from good medical interventions which in the long term were a disaster
No child of mine would get it. No way, not ever.
Never heard the like my whole life.
Evil, just evil.
According to VAERS, 11 children in the US have already reportedly died following the “vaccine”. This doesn’t include all the babies that never got to be born (alive) because their mothers were injected, or the children whose deaths haven’t been reported to VAERS (which we can assume exist). How many children need to die unnecessarily before this madness is stopped? Can even a single child death be justified “to save adult lives”?? Try explaining that to a bereaved parent.
The desire to vaccinate children seems so wrong headed and perverse that I think it’s time for the adults to consider other possible motivations. I watched a rather rabbit-hole, tin foil hat video last night (something I tend to avoid) and it was essentially a man talking for 5 hours about satanism and luciferianism and its connections to freemasonry, described as the nursery slopes, the gateway drug if you like. (I managed about 45 mins). It went through that rather hackneyed trope of pics of Hollywood royalty and pop and rock stars showing their alarming penchant for posing with a hand over an eye, a hand concealed, the odd 666 hand gesture, triangle shapes, horns etc…. The list is of stars is endless. And politicians, royalty, of course. Those frequenters of the conspiracy side of the internet will not be unfamiliar with the idea. Such is these cultists contempt for we sheep that they cannot help, in their joy, to signal their superiority and oneness at rock concert, or publicity material or on tv. As I finished watching this and consigning it to the pending tray, thinking ‘well the world has gone totally Tonto and nothing would surprise me anymore’’, I suddenly had an image in my mind’s eye of Matt Hancock, our Health Secretary, and the much derided, strangely much publicised images of the footage from his appearance on GMB when he pretended to cry. Some shots show a kind of gloating almost malevolent, look in his uncovered eye. What seems to most people to be a cack-handed attempt to generate some real emotion, may in fact be something far more sinister.
I rule nothing out. We would be unwise to. But it is, I agree ‘out there in Bacofoil land. It may remind others of Carrie Nut Nuts Johnson and the photos of her Warwick University dramatic appearances and their less than wholesome themes.
The keenness to shut the churches may be a part of this too.
Consider the unrelenting appearances of recent prime ministers – supporting with swivel eyed intensity all sorts of anti-liberal draconian horrors.
Consider also the curiosity of the nasty blood red study from which Hancock broadcasts his bizarre edicts.
Nurse, the screams (sic).
Anyone else?
It pains me to say it, but I can’t wait for the first jabbed teenager to die. Sturgeon will have a tricky time washing that blood from her hands.
Struggling to know what to say
Stuffing children with an experimental drug for a disease they do not get is not protection it is the very opposite of protection it is blatant abuse. Will Sturgeon, Hunt, Hancock and all the other monsters who are baying for children to be stuffed with this experimental drug will they hold themselve personally liable and responsible for any subsequent deaths or life changing side effects these children will suffer either now or in the future? Or will they as they have done with everything else surrounding Covid, cover it up, blame it elsewhere.
These people are Evil, and there will come a time when they will not be able to hide anymore and they will have to face the consequences for that they have done either in this life or the next. They are no better than Cockroaches. They sicken me
Jimmy Krankie – another criminal politician playing God with children’s lives.
Can’t wait for the ‘day of reckoning’.
