16 and 17 year-olds in the U.K. could soon be called up to get vaccinated against Covid, according to Nicola Sturgeon. The Scottish First Minister suggested that the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) could offer new advice “in the next few days” on the vaccination of this younger age group. The Guardian has the story.
Just two weeks after the [JCVI] recommended against routine vaccination of children, the Scottish First Minister revealed that she “hoped” over-16s would get the go-ahead to receive it after all.
Two Government sources confirmed that the JCVI was looking again at widening its recommendation for children over 12. Jabs for this age group are currently limited to those who are clinically vulnerable or live with someone at risk.
Anthony Harnden, a member of the committee, said: “JCVI is in the process of finalising updated advice on the offer of vaccination of children and young people.”
Ministers are believed to have been in favour of older children getting access to the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, but the JCVI said they should not routinely be available to children who do not have a specific risk factor.
One of the concerns that the scientists raised, linked to the Pfizer jab, was about inflammation around the heart, with the JCVI concluding that the benefits did not outweigh the risk to those who would be receiving the jabs. …
Professor Rowland Kao, a participant in the the Scientific Pandemic Influenza Group on Modelling (SPI-M) and an Epidemiologist at the University of Edinburgh, said: “Per capita, older teenagers currently have the highest risk of Covid infection, and vaccinating 16 and 17 year-olds should reduce this.” …
Making a statement to the Scottish parliament on Tuesday afternoon, Sturgeon said she was “hoping” to get the updated advice from the JCVI “over the next day or so”.
During the subsequent question-and-answer session with MSPs, Sturgeon said: “The JCVI are our advisory body so they have to give us the advice they think is right and I respect that. I am hoping it will recommend going further on the vaccination of young people.
“I am particularly concerned if possible to get vaccinations to 16 and 17 year-olds, which is obviously important for those who will be, for example, going to college and university and mingling with older young people who are vaccinated. But we’ll see what that advice brings and we stand ready to implement that as quickly as possible.”
She later said she was hoping and “veering towards expecting” the committee to recommend further vaccination of people in the 12 to 18 year-olds age group, and in particular “hopeful that we will see some updated recommendations in relation, as a priority as a first part of this, for 16 and 17 year-olds”.

What is the most appropriate punishment for a crime against humanity of this magnitude? a. for the JCVI members, b. for Sturgeon?
Heads on pikes, though even that doesn’t seem harsh enough.
Crucifiction!
“Called up” “I’ve had mine, have you had ‘yours'” “jab for a Kebab”.
What the fuck is wrong with everybody!
Yes, it should be “jab for a haggis”
A deep fried mars bar? I’m getting a bit fed up of Fishy Sturgeon making Scotland look stupid.
With stress on the ‘hag’.
For twelve-year-olds they will probably throw in a deep-fried Mars bar.
The question is have THEY been bought or threatened, or both?
Why on earth would this idiotic woman “hope that over-16s would get the go-ahead to receive it after all“? Oh, I think the answer is in the question.
yeah, she ‘hopes’…..wow
Nicola Sturgeon will soon demand in-vivo vaccination of fertilized “person eggs” as it’s import that unvaccinated babies don’t mingle with other people.
NHS England hospital deaths of healthy individuals aged 0-19 ?
9 !!!!!!
I’ve been downloading the weekly data sheets for over a year. Even for those with underlying conditions it’s something as low as 33 iirc.
Average number of deaths for 0-19 every year? Around 3K !!!!
These monster can go fuck themselves. Stay away from my kids.
Jabbing kids is likely to do far more harm, COVID is age dependent harm, the Jab seems to harm more the younger/fitter you are.
Disaster.
This is genocide.
There is a pathological compulsion within the Scottish Government, and it’s Advisors, to get every child in Scotland vaccinated. Dr Gregor Smith, Jason Leitch
Devi Sridhar, Linda Bauld and Sturgeon herself are hell bent on pursuing this course of action, irrespective of the safety signals coming from Israel and America, which are wilfully ignored and swept aside.
The JCVI must stand firm to their continual pressure. Linda Bauld says it is controversial NOT to be vaccinating children before they return to school. These people are completely incapable of making balanced decisions in the best interest of children. They are myopic in their view and have lost all sense of reality. Children will die, and many will suffer terrible harms.
When will the medical profession say enough? Will nurses vaccinate children willingly? Will Doctors turn a blind eye to children presenting with adverse effects from vaccination for a virus which will cause them zero harm?
I see toddlers in masks in the towns of Scotland, their parents will offer them up willingly for vaccination, and in their droves. It is a disaster waiting to happen.
No wonder Fishy wants everyone “vaxxed” if they is taking advice from non-scientist Devi “100% safe” Sridhar.
I seem to rememmber that under the German government of the 1930’s, institutionalised disabled children were left to starve to death because it’s “the science”, you know. Plus ca change.
In Nazi Germany, nurses held down mentally disabled children while doctors gave them fatal injections. That’s what the medical profession is capable of.
What fresh award will they be given for this? A collective VC?
Wicked, evil woman. A modern day Lady Macbeth.
“Here, have this injection. It will likely make you feel awful for a few days or if you’re really unlucky put you in hospital or worse. Its to protect you from a disease you’re at absolutely no risk of serious illness from”.
How selfish do you have to be politically to inflict this on children!
and that mingling is a problem because?
Because it could – through chain-mingling – ultimatively lead to Nicola Sturgeon, Devi Sridhar, Trisha Maskthemall or Susan “Jim Jones” Michie getting in contact with the terrible virus, something they’re unselfishly extremely keen to avoid at any cost to somebody else.
Horrific.
A woman so putrid that the thought of being within 100 yards would be enough to put me off a double Glenmorangie.
A Sturge in the epsilon minus, or Scottish, variant of evil.
Can I have a fried Mars bar, instead of a kebab?
What’s the difference between a kebab and the ‘vaccine’?
A kebab’s good for your health.
Has she explained why she hopes ?
Does any journalist ask?
I will simply state the obvious: while we are going to jab 1.4 million teens (well, 1.399, my son already had Covid and unlike me and my wife, won’t be getting the jab), hundreds of millions of people in at-risk populations continue to wait for vaccines. Heck, Australian could use those 2.8m doses of Phizer to get their borders back open.
When you jab those at near 0 risk to accomplish goals that do not make you marginally safer as a nation, while others die, your ethics are seriously off-key.
Obvious to you, very clear to me, whilst the UK/SNP criminals are either very thick, very despotic or both, or maybe as politicians they have their own interests uppermost, and they believe everything they are being told by the scientists they appointed who are all called Iago.
Having thought quite a bit about this I think the answer may be that they believe in their own complete infallibility when it comes to their response to Covid.
At no point have they ever deterred from their single pointed mission of eliminating this virus. No amount of evidence contrary to their narrative will dissuade them. They are incapable of changing course, and it poses a stark and very immediate danger to the people of Scotland. I don’t think folks in the rest of the UK can quite comprehend the complete and utter lack of any opposition voices or opinions up here. It is frightening, their is almost full compliance with the narrative within the population, one need only look at the vaccine uptake numbers here. I am ashamed of my fellow Scots for their total and wholesale swallowing of Sturgeon’s propaganda. All she has to do is counter herself to Boris and the Scots lap it up. It’s shameful, the denial of what is actually happening here is endemic.
I feel like a stranger in a strange land, I no longer recognise this as my home.
Yes despite the concerns and data showing serious adverse events and deaths in all age groups cdc VAERS, we are going to vaccinate the youth. Who would do this? Why?
Your government is the answer to who? Genocide is the answer to why?
Mengele is alive and well, it seems.
For any doctor who gives a vaccine there must be consent which is now covered by the Montgomery ruling. The GMC advises that doctors must try to find out what matters to patients so they can share relevant information about the benefits and harms of proposed options and reasonable alternatives, including the option to take no action. As we have absolutely no idea of the long term risks but are aware of immediate risks of vaccination it is a very brave doctor who considers that vaccinating an under 18 is reasonable.
This is not ANTIVAX but a heartfelt urging tot to use the young as a human experiment. Children under 16 do not have a vote and don’t have a voice – let us speak for them.
Hope Ms Sturgeon Is Telling The Kids That These Jabs Have Killed &Seriously Injured People???Besides Covid Isn’t a Young Persons Disease!!!
I know a lot of people are talking about a great awakening and people finally realising what’s going on but when I read stuff like this, I wonder. If people are going to wake up, they’d better be quick about it or its going to be too late!!
