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

2 min read

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.

These people are just aiming to reduce infection rates by forcing their propaganda into the heads of children and removing the decision from their parents. Children of the age 12 -15 have very little chance of getting serious symptoms from Covid-19, and once they have had it will have gained much more immunity than any vaccine can give them. If one child dies from side effects from any of these vaccines, these despicable people should be charged with murder. Any medical intervention should be based solely on medical need and all the total rubbish used as an excuse to justify the pressurising of our kids to risk side effects and long term damage to their health which nobody knows the possible dangers of. Let’s not forget what happened with Thalidomide, where typical idiots like Whitty said it was safe.

With the young the problem that Big Pharma faces is that by the time they are adults this fake crisis will be over, they won’t be willing to take the vaccine by then (as the long term effects will by then have become visible) and there won’t be a successor class of vaccine dependent clients for Big Pharma. Whitty, Valance and Johnson are simply useful idiots serving Big Pharma’s grand scheme of perennial global vaccine profits..

His papers on SARS COV 2/Covid 19 are the most accessed on the subject by “hits” – except by Biden/Fauci/Whitty/Vallance/SAGE/MHRA/JVCI/Van Tamm/Johnson …the list goes on. Their ignorance, wilful or by stupidity, of his and others experience is truly scary; two of these people can end civilisation with their judgment – does not bode well, does it?

Then he is ethically and morally screwed – as well as being unequivocally involved in the Fauci/Drosten/Farrar/Daszak/Zhengli SARS GoF horror story by virtue of the fact he was revealed, by Del Bigtree and others, to be cc’d in on the emails – he cannot deny his prior knowledge; and still he has the gall to pontificate about what the UK population should be doing with this toxic jab.

WHY?
Does anyone know what the so-called benefits are? Is there a list available for scrutiny somewhere?
I’d love to see it.
The dangers are there, publicly available for all to see and they are feckin’ REAL.
How have we got to this? It’s completely unnatural. Humans don’t do that to their children, do they? Not in a civilized world.
These are our children/grandchildren FFS. What sort of parent would consider allowing such a thing without even a tiny bit of research?
Pure fuxxing EVIL on an unprecedented and epic scale.
Remember? 3 weeks to flatten the curve, freedom once the elderly and vulnerable have been stabbed, etc etc etc.
Back then if anyone had told you where the whole of the Western world would be by the end of September 2021 because of a respiratory virus whose overall survival rate is more than 99.8% of those infected, you would have accused them of being a full-blown tin hat-wearing conspiracy theorist. Wouldn’t you? I would have.

Sheer insanity.

I had numerous posts deleted from the BBC HYS forum last night.

Some cretin claimed their 13 year old daughter was begging for the vaccine so that she could keep her granny safe.

I said if she was that scared then as a parent they need to take a good look in the mirror for perpetuating fear in someone so young. Naturally it was deleted by the moderators.

Every challenge against my stance (children shouldn’t be vaccinated and adults should not be coerced into vaccination by things like vax passports) involved personal insults. No logic or reason just abuse and getting called an idiot.

A lot of people have bought into the narrative hook line and sinker. Worrying times.

Please parents, resist this utter nonsense. Your child is more at risk from a severe adverse event from the vaxx than they are from any severe event from COVID19. Every to scientist, epidemiologist, virologist, data scientist, data analyst, immunologist. Those children who have died from Covid, the majority had serious comorbidities.

… ” A child- centred approach” means what exactly? There is no way that childrens’ welfare is in any way included in the CMO’s decision. Remember when we would “have our freedom back” when the most vulnerable and elderly had had the ‘vaccine’? Lying b*stards!

This is intended, I believe, to trigger civil war and it will eventually. They (Big Money) need something spectacular to disguise the collapse of their Ponzi scheme and the fact that they have stolen generations of wealth from us, so they will keep pushing the tyranny until we descend into mob violence, it’s coming.. they won’t stop until they’ve achieved it. It’s not the government we need to be worrying about, it’s the mob that will be turned against us for refusing to take part in the grand illusion.

The only reason this attempt at medical mass genocide is continuing, is because we are allowing it to continue. We, being all the people who are awake to what is happening but choose to sit back and do nothing. We should at the very least be on the streets every week like the French. These b@stards are quite literally coming after the children, and we have no democratic, legal or judicial recourse as all these civilized avenues of resistance have been blocked by the regime under the tyrannical Coronavirus Bill. What we do have, however, is numbers enough to create a physical presence on a regular basis to show these psychopaths that we’re awake to their agenda, we will not forget their crimes and we will prevail. Come on people, get off those sofa’s and let’s get our bodies out on the streets. The only way to defeat this regime is to face them head on.

Mmmmmm Let’s add up the money now. In January 2020 Unbalanced personally invested £600,000 in Pfizer vaccines. Ad hoc decision? I don’t think so. Witless has received a total of £57m in ‘grants’ from Big Brother Gates himself. No evidence what for though. No apparent research evident. There can be no doubt that the reptile known as Hancock and the yob known as Johnson have either significant investments in PfIzer or are in receipt of handouts known as ‘grants’ from the eugenisist in chief Billy Boy. As the FBI say ‘Follow the money’.

The JCVI didn’t recommend. The decision to close schools has no justification in epidemiology and has not aided in stopping outbreaks anywhere. So this is entirely a decision driven by politics.

So it’s past time to make any deaths that might occur among teens from vaccines be met with a manslaughter charge for Whitty and Boris. Because the risk kids face has no justification in taking this vaccine.

and while we are at it, just one dose? So useless dosage levels of a useless (for them) vaccine for purposes that no one can understand. This government has outlasted its sell by date.

One dose because the model shows a slight benefit over the side-effects. At two doses the side-effects are more dangerous than the vaccine…

The clinical benefits of injecting children with secretions of the giant monkey frog are marginal, but on balance I feel the mental health advantages of attending the shaman’s ceremony with the other tribespeople far outweigh the risk of permanent scarring from the burns, and may reduce the disruption to children’s education should Chief Tookootawa mandate the culling of non-believers.

Maybe the point is to get the case levels up, that are remaining stubbornly low. The evidence for spikes – post first dose, is everywhere. Then they could say ” cases are rising, we need to introduce vaccine passports”

Hard to see how they will try and justify sub-12 vaccination given that this time the argument is pretty much ‘we may as well’.

A GP acquaintance of mine with a couple of 10 year old boys (twins) has said that she would vaccinate them without a doubt if it was allowed, due to long Covid. “Face palm”.

You would have thought that a doctor would understand that ‘Long Covid’ is just post-viral fatigue with a PR team! Yes, post-viral fatigue can be debilitating but the number of people badly affected (i.e. more than a couple of months) is vanishingly small, and they will almost certainly make a full recovery evenutally (which may not be the case with vaccine injuries).

I think it is because the vaccinations didn’t start until about Jan 2021 and the first double innoculated wouldn’t be until about 1 April 2021 . Therefore anyone dying before 1 April could not possibly be double innoculated. And so on . The test will be from now onwards when everyone who wants two doses will have had them .

arfurmo is right. The mortality rate was down close to zero by mid-April when double-jabbed was still only at 10% (worldometers and ourworldindata) so the overwhelming majority of deaths were before significant vaccine rollout. So the figure is technically correct, but is so misleading as to be as good as a lie.

Chris Whitty’s speech today is probably the most incoherent, illogical and criminal statement I have heard from a public figure throughout the last 18 months.
The State is now in an abusive relationship with children. He tells them: Accept medical experimentation, or we will further disrupt your education and ‘life chances’. Pretending of course that it is the virus disrupting their education.
He contradicts himself; in his ‘preamble’ he states (correctly) that medicine must bring medical benefit to the patient themselves, not wider society. Later he gives no medical justification whatsoever for his recommendation, instead referring to the effects on their ‘mental health’ caused by HIM, not the virus.
Then he essentially recommends a public information campaign aimed at children which as we all know cannot provide children with the information they need to make an informed decision because no one ON EARTH can say what the long term risks of these drugs are. And no child-friendly leaflet can ever explain to a 12 year old child what will happen to their immune system or their circulatory system when they start producing an unknown quantity of cytotoxic blood clotting proteins in their bodies.
If he’s so concerned about their mental… Read more »

I recently started reading the Dissolving Illusions book, one of the authors (a doctor) explained that during the H1N1 scare, she would tell her colleagues that she believed that patients were having kidney failure as a result of the shot. When asking why the people at risk of kidney damage should get the shot, the only response she would get is because it’s “safe and effective”.

Where have I heard that before?

Another thing she talks about is how nobody would bat an eye at discontinuing any other type of drug for a patient due to kidney damage, but saying that a vaccine is a cause is like opening Pandora’s box. It’s that line that they’re not allowed to cross.
