Government Has a Case to Answer on Children’s Vaccination, Says Judge

by Will Jones
4 October 2021 7:24 PM

On Friday I reported on ONS figures which showed a worrying rise in deaths among 15-19 year-olds in summer 2021 compared to summer 2020, a period which coincided with the roll-out of vaccines to that age group. I asked whether the increase of 57%, amounting to 90 deaths, was a signal of deaths from serious vaccine side-effects such as myocarditis, or whether there was another explanation (such as increased road deaths, for example). There were only nine Covid deaths in the age group during the period, and there was no corresponding increase in deaths in 1-14 year-olds, adding to the concern.

I was not the only person to raise these questions. This data was presented, in fuller form and alongside other evidence, at a court hearing on Friday, where the Covid19 Assembly is seeking a judicial review of the Medicine and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA)’s decision to approve the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine for use in 12-17 year-olds.

Although the Government had asked for the case to be struck out, the judge, Mr. Justice Jay, allowed it to continue, accepting that the claimants had an arguable case. The current position is that the court has adjourned the matter to a further hearing to allow the Government further time to respond to the case. The court has given directions that the Government submit further response and evidence by October 11th, with the claimants having to October 15th to reply. After this the court will reconsider the matter “promptly”. I understand that the vaccination status of the teenagers who died during the period of the rollout is part of the evidence that the Government has been asked to provide.

Since publishing my piece I have been pointed to the data for deaths in 15-19 year-olds for the years 2015-19, which I did not think was available but had been published separately in response to a Freedom of Information request. The graph below now includes a line for the 2015-19 average, allowing us to see that while 2021 is notably above average, it is not as high as is implied by using 2020 as a baseline.

The average number of deaths in 15-19 year-olds between weeks 23 and 37 in 2015-19 was 207. This compares to 252 in 2021, a rise of 45 or 22%. That’s half of the difference between 2020 and 2021. However, it’s not clear which baseline should be used; for instance, 2021 deaths in 1-14 year-olds were even lower than in 2020. On the other hand, 15-19 year-olds have their own risk factors.

What is really needed is a full, detailed analysis of vaccination status and causes of death to see how far vaccine side-effects may have played a role in boosting teenage mortality in 2021.

Will the Government provide this data and analysis to satisfy the court that the vaccines are not responsible for most or all of it? We will know soon.

China get 1 thing correct very specifically. They use coal to generate electricity and not windmills.

“Even a broken clock is right twice a day”

It’s hardly surprising a country the size of china gets some things right and even things like child abduction are down in countries like the UK as even though we don’t have the CCTV/facial recognition systems they do the growing network of private CCTV/ring doorbell type systems mean that (if the police choose to investigate) there will almost certainly be evidence to be found.

I’m sure the streets are very sage at night in Noerh Korea. General public safety tends to be a feature of steong authoritarian regimes.

Also, the advancement of women has always been a feature of Communism. It sounds like a good thing, and in many ways is, but it relates also to the communist idea of dissolving the family unit in favour of the state unit. Your country is your family, so to speak.

There are plenty of other goid things to pont out about Chuna. Ubiquitous and fast service for almost anything, great food, great atmosphere in the streets in the evenings.

Freedom comes at a price. Not just the one that everyone assumes – the risks of confronting authoritarian – but rather losing some of the inevitable benefits of a strong, forceful authority putting order.

My relatives who lived in what used to be the DDR said they used to feel safer than they do now. How much of the changes are to do with less rigid control and how much to do with importing cultures who are more likely to commit crimes is debatable. People probably used to feel quite safe in certain parts of Paris, or Brussels, or Stockholm.

I think if one had to live in one of those countries in the Far East I would choose Japan, South Korea or Singapore long before I would contemplate China. But I would not want to live in any of those countries. I would like to live in an England that will soon not exist, or in some staunchly Republican state in the US except I wouldn’t fit in there either because I’m not religious.

I don’t think it uniformity I the key. Spanish cities in the 1980s became less afe after Franco’s death. There was no iimmigration worth mentioning at the time. It was 100% down to a new culture of permissiveness.

I used to carry out some consultancy work for a Scandinavian airline. I was speaking to people who worked in their offices, prior to the fall of communism. I asked if they were happy with their new freedom of movement. They said that was nice, but the streets were much safer and there was much less crime under the communists.

The film “With the Marines at Tarawa” is embedded. This required the authorisation of President Roosevelt before release and there is a warning at the start.

“With the Marines at Tarawa won the 1944 Oscar for Best Documentary Short Subject. You can see it here.”

Chinese politicians have the confidence from knowing that internally they control any opponents and internationally they have bought their silence or support. In the UK tax payers finance opponents of what a majority of us support and internationally we do as they say.
