Just two days after England’s Deputy Chief Medical Officer said all 16 and 17 year-olds will start being invited to get vaccinated against Covid “in a very short number of weeks”, Northern Ireland has become the first U.K. nation to extend its vaccine roll-out to healthy children. BBC News has the story.
The move follows a recommendation by the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation.
More than 180 vaccinations were administered to 16 and 17 year-olds at the SSE arena in Belfast on Friday morning.
Confirming the number, Lead Nurse at the regional vaccination centre Pauline Wilson said there was a sense of excitement among young people in line for their jab.
“The general feedback is that they’re pleased to be here and they’re looking forward to things opening up again,” she said.
“It’s their turn and they are keen to get their vaccinations.” …
Regional vaccination centres in Northern Ireland are providing a walk-in service for first doses of Pfizer vaccines for those aged 16 and 17.
For those who prefer to book, an online booking platform will be available in the coming days.
The first vaccination will also be available at pop-up walk-in clinics across Northern Ireland.

Stop Press: Young people are “excited” to get ‘jabbed’, according to the Evening Standard.
Elliot Aston, from Newtownards, Co Down, said he was “quite excited” to have received his first jab.
“It’s good that they’re finally offering it to us because we are probably the ones that are out and about the most so I think it’s about time,” he said.
“I have an introduction day back to school coming up so I’ll definitely feel safer now around my friends.
“Some of my friends were here today getting it too.” …
Georgia Johnston, from Carrickfergus, admitted she had worries about getting the vaccine, but after some thought decided she would.
“I was completely against it but decided I have to get it so I came up and got it,” she said.
“My mum persuaded me, she got her vaccine.”

Oh well, they cant say they didn’t know the dangers, so stuff them!
We’re talking about children here, and both children and parents for that matter have been brainwashed by a corrupt media/government/academia complex.
These are the kind of people we are up against.

No wonder the world’s going to shit, we get what we deserve I guess.
No, WE get what the sheeple deserve!
Did the “B”BC establishment-narrativist ask the poor deluded young soul where on the pamphlet that he gave his consent if it actually mentioned that getting injected with the clotting agent lowered the ability to spread the virus?
It also fails to mention the experimental nature of the medical procedure.
“My mum/dad persuaded me”. I’ve heard that from a number of young people I know. It makes me very sad.

This article in German about the child abuse called Covid vaccination and its many facets comes to the conclusion that parents are the main offenders and accomplices in it.
the people that have been doing the brainwashing for the past year are the main offenders.
There’s more than a whiff of BS, combined with smacks of desperation, with the journalese used here.
Yes.. a great stinking pile of BS if you ask me. Propaganda on steroids..

YUGE!!! Canadian Court Victory Proves Covid-19 Is A Hoax & All Restrictions Have Now Been Dropped (bitchute.com)
Patrick King beats the system after demanding proof that the covid 19 virus exists to beat a $1200 fine.
Thank you so much for this link. This is an important story and Patrick King is one hell of a guy for calling their bluff. As he states so forcibly is the fact that this presumed virus has not been isolated. This is fundamental because the whole deck of cards falls when this is fully realised. It’s a perfect example of the Emperor’s New Clothes story. The presumed virus is more dangerous as an idea, a mental phenomenon.
Bet those names pop up “coincidentally” as youth speakers at a party conference then as MP candidates.
Lost count of the number of times the MSM have tried to pass off a political campaigner has been interviewed as “(wo)man in the street”…
Yes, they do that with NHS workers don’t they?
I suppose the only thing you can say with any sort of certainty is that some of them will die or face life changing injury and that none of them would have died from Covid. After that, you just need to judge the people who are pushing this agenda accordingly.
“…some of them will die or face life changing injury and that none of them would have died from Covid.”
Don’t forget, there will be many who will then say it would have been much worse if they hadn’t been injected…and urge everyone to visit their local pop up without delay to avoid devastating consequences to their health…and others.
“I wozn’t gonna get it but then I decided to get it so I came and got it.” Lord have mercy. I expected to hear some more sound reasoning behind that girl’s change of heart on a potentially life changing decision but alas I probably expect too much
It would be interesting to know if there is a sectarian divide!
{And, if so, which side is going down to the highest level of culling?!}
What do you expect from people who can be persuaded by getting a voucher for a doughnut or hot dog?!
Makes a change from a raw potato.
Exactly. The last I heard it was ‘kebabs for jabs’. If that doesn’t reel them in I dunno what will
A blood donner ?
Kids excited to be getting a needle in the arm? Yeh, right… Project Fear is in full swing.
The COVID hobgoblin is 26th on the list of dangerous stuff according to the .gov webshite.

Shouldn’t they also be handing prescriptions for Warfarin out to 16 year olds….
I hope they won’t feel too betrayed when the portcullis slams back down. Curious that the Irish contumacious nature on both sides of their divide has disappeared so quick.
It’s as if the world is now filled with, in that lovely word, milquetoasts.
I probably should have come up with a longer title because I’m not “anti-vaccination” in principle, but when I saw the articles at the BBC website I was just appalled. My arguments are all entirely based on statements in BBC articles here, I am not claiming any medical expertise – their arguments just don’t stand up on the strength of their own claims:
“Don’t Jab The Children”
http://participator.online/articles/2021/08/dont_jab_the_children_20210805.php
A brief reminder. in England and Wales in 2020, 15 to 19 year olds had a 0.01% (1 in 10,000) chance of dying with COVID, and healthy 15 to 19 year olds had a 0% chance of dying with it (all of the 15 to 19 year olds who died were already ill with some other condition).
Meanwhile, 1 in 31,000 people of all ages have died in the UK following the coronavirus vaccine.
There is no justification for vaccinating healthy teenagers.
In Germany ministers decided to just go ahead and make “jab offers” to everyone above 12, ignoring and against current recommendations of the official German vaccination expert group (Stiko). Just because Stiko was slow to change their recommendation (they still don’t recommend vaccinating healthy children because of lack of data).
The most egregious aspect is that there will be an extreme social pressure put on the kids as well – in case of an infection in class, those who didn’t get jabbed will be sent home to quarantine, while all the vaccinated ones will be allowed to remain in class.

‘after some thought’?
What goes on in a brain like hers can scarcely be described as thinking.
It’s a basic test of intelligence.
It is no surprise that Millennials and Zs are failing it en masse.
This mankind will therefore very likely be finished within the next decades, and deservedly so.
they claim 90% of the adult population has been jabbed. Why have a go at the kids for being idiots when they’re just following the lead of their parents?
“Vaccinate Against Covid”
Against Covid? No. Against Their Better Judgement.
The Flimsy Evidence Behind the CDC’s Push to Vaccinate Children
The agency overcounts Covid hospitalizations and deaths and won’t consider if one shot is sufficient.
“My research team at Johns Hopkins worked with the nonprofit FAIR Health to analyze approximately 48,000 children under 18 diagnosed with Covid in health-insurance data from April to August 2020. Our report found a mortality rate of zero among children without a pre-existing medical condition such as leukemia. “

‘Forgive them for They know not what they do’
Would you apply this logic to all criminals? On a more serious note the real underlying problem is that the system is rotten, and if we really want a better future I think that is what we should be focusing on.
Here’s a clip from Fox News about a mother who says her daughter was severely disabled by taking part in the age 12-15 arm of the Pfizer Phase III trial https://twitter.com/Truth_Matters9/status/1422968522305679364#m . The 12-15 arm of the trial was small, with just 1131 participants receiving the vax. Another child dropped out after the first shot, having developed a 40C temperature, which is considered a life-threatening emergency. The writeup is here: https://www.nejm.org/doi/10.1056/NEJMoa2107456
If this girl was part of the trial discussed in the article, why wasn’t her case mentioned?
A temperature of 40 degrees is not a life threatening emergency.
It’s a good question why her case wasn’t mentioned. They may have refused to acknowledge a connection with the vax.
Here’s one of many medical sources describing 40C temperature as a life-threatening emergency https://www.ambulance.qld.gov.au/docs/clinical/cpg/CPG_Hyperthermia.pdf
I think you’re right. In the appendix they list several ‘severe’ reactions but only 1 ‘related’ – presumably the child with the high temperature.
I remember being surprised to learn as a teen that a change of internal body temperature of more than 2 degrees can kill a human, we are incredible but fickle things.
It could well be this part
“Few participants in any cohort (≤0.4% through 1 month after dose 2) had serious adverse events, and none were considered by the investigators to have been vaccine-related. No deaths were reported”
They dismissed it as nothing to do with the vaccine. No details of how such investigations were undertaken.
Today, I had to do a double-take. A 2-page spread in the Daily Mail was entitled ‘Britons back jabs for kids’. This idiotic headline was based on, wait for it, 1007 people being interviewed! Unbelievable. Those giving the positive answers to the questions in this exhaustive study about children being jabbed should also have been asked this corollary and pertinent question: do you know what is in the ‘vaccine’ ? I think that would be illuminating. This whole proposal to induce the young into taking part in this experiment is bordering on the criminal. Talk about the blind leading the blind.
Well the whole push on kids was justified on study of around the same number.
https://www.nejm.org/doi/10.1056/NEJMoa2107456
It has this gem tucked away.
“Few participants in any cohort (≤0.4% through 1 month after dose 2) had serious adverse events, and none were considered by the investigators to have been vaccine-related. No deaths were reported”
So we can suggest that with a million kids jabbed say 4,000 will suffer unrelated serious adverse events in the days and weeks after the dose.
All will of course be investigated by the Coincidence Committee
It’s been sickening to see how the anti-vaxxers have ramped up the fear in young kids. It’s been disgusting.
Could you remind us what the medical case is for vaccinating children who already have natural immunity, which is a majority of them?
What a logical and rational contribution you’ve made. Well done.
I think you’ve got that the wrong way round.
Reads much better like this ‘It’s been sickening to see how the pro-vaxxers have ramped up the fear in young kids. It’s been disgusting.’
The article makes the opposite case
What is the point in keeping a union going with such a place? They are even keener on the Kool-Aid than our lot.
Lambs to the slaughter…weeps.
The reporting is very biased
I bet the govt ads to these 16-17 yos say nothing about how the vaccine doesn’t prevent transmissibility, nor how they are so unlikely to be ill or require hospitalisation, or even die, that to require them to take to continue a ‘normal life’ is wholly unnecessary (no net health benefit) and is pure coercion and blackmail.
How sad to see young people who have just about zero risk from ‘the virus’, risking their health by taking the dangerouns mRNA programme into their bodies. The vile Government propaganda is simply criminal.
