However keen the Government is to quickly get healthy children vaccinated against Covid, more than half of schools in England will fail to host Covid vaccinations by its target date, according to a new survey of headteachers. The Guardian has the story.
A survey by the Association of School and College Leaders [ASCL] found that only two out of every five secondary schools will have had a visit from vaccination teams by the October half-term break.
The survey also revealed that 95% of headteachers said teaching has been affected by pupil and staff absences, with nearly a third rating the impact as severe. 93 school leaders reported pupil absences of 10% or higher, while 63 schools said 10% or more of their staff were absent for Covid-related seasons. [sic] …
[ASCL’s General Secretary Geoff] Barton… said an “additional difficulty” for schools was having to deal with anti-vaccination protesters. 13% of the 526 eligible schools reported seeing protesters outside their school.“This is at best incredibly unhelpful, and at worst very distressing, and we appeal to those concerned to see sense and stop this nonsense,” Barton added.
The Department for Education has said that in schools that have been visited, uptake rates were around 35% of pupils.

“more than half of schools in England will fail to host Covid vaccinations by its target date”
Fail? Fail?????
‘Succeed’ surely – in upholding ethical principles and not abusing children.
I see the 77 bot is out downvoting again. Why do they bother?
One of those imbeciles inna mental home that spends its time banging its head against a wall?
35% uptake rate.
There’s some hope for the future.
I remember the numbers for parental permission for vaxxing children were only quoted as about forty percent. So this makes sense, even if the government try to conceal the truth.
Good.
10% or higher….10% or more…..so 50% ? – 70%? not complying? Tell us the real numbers Guardian.
The Guardian will only tell you what the government and its paymaster Bill Gates want you to know. It is probably the worst rag of the the lot, though it faces some very formidable competition.
I hope to see that rag burn to the ground one day and every one of its corrupt ‘journalists’ homeless and destitute – especially that cunt Owen Jones.
Don’t beat about the bush, say what you mean for goodness sake.
Just give me 5 minutes with any of them….
It certainly has the most miserably abject readership.
Lol. The Guardian bastards to tell the Truth on this or anything else re covid that doesn’t conform to the narrative.
Bastions of Investigative Journalism……
This is at best incredibly unhelpful, and at worst very distressing, and we appeal to those concerned to see sense and stop this nonsense
Let’s just turn this quote around – to the Govt and those involved in needless and dangerous practice of injecting children.
…..and those involved in needless and dangerous practice of injecting children.
And injecting anyone else with these genocidal concoctions.
So some people are not “helping” the “vaccination teams.” There’s a little hope anyway.
How do they drive away home from the schools after a day’s jabbing when their vehicles’ tyres have been let down?
If there are long-term health effects, people might remember who was on those vaccination teams back in the day … and who organized and mandated them.
And how do they sleep at night?
Well, Geoff Barton, here’s news for you: lots of well informed parents who love their children find the vaccination programme rolled out in schools “very distressing, and we appeal to those concerned to see sense and stop this nonsense.”
So, why should protesters stop when you don’t?
Barton added to the list
He’s been on mine a while.
It would appear Mr Barton needs to be served with a notice of legal liability to concentrate his attention as he seems to think the opinion of the medical experts on JCVI is unhelpful.
I wish mine had failed
As for the fuckwit Geoff Barton, I can only hope that he one day is forced to acknowledge his part in this crime. Disgusting behaviour from someone whose first professional responsibility should be the safety and wellbeing of children.
What’s particularly maddening is the intellectual failure to see the many, many protestors as anything other than ideologically opposed to vaccination. Where does Geoff Barton believe all these ‘anti-vaxxers’ have been hiding? If he actually listened to any of them, he’d see of course that they are not ‘anti-vaxxers’ but concerned and frightened parents and carers who fear for the safety and freedom of their children. To dismiss them as an inconvenience is intellectually and morally bankrupt, but this stupidity typifies the positions taken by teaching unions throughout the whole debacle.
I crunched the numbers for Absolute Risk Reduction on the the last 6 vaccine surveillance data sheets. It’s quite comical when you get under 50 years of age.
20-30% 80+
12-16%. 70-79
4-6%. 60-69
1.2-2%. 50-59
0.25-0.47% 40-49
0.12-0.37% 30-39
0.0152-0.0350 18-29
I can’t do 0-18 since so few have been ‘vaccinated’ so far thankfully.
Thou shalt not die of covid, even if it means dying of something else.
NHS and now also private sector GPs refusing to prescribe anti-asthma medication for asthmatics, leaving them with none.
Are you sure? The absolute risk reduction cannot be higher than the risk itself. Taking your figure for 80+ suggests that the risk to an unvaccinated person of contracting and dying of Covid is over 30%.
Now, the risk of dying of Covid for the 80+ if they catch it is not higher than 30%, and they have to catch it first.
Absolute risk reduction has to factor in the risk of catching it in the first place.
That is why absolute risk reduction is so much more important when also considering the risk of vaccine harm, because if you vaccinate someone there is a 100% chance that they’ve been vaccinated and so are at full risk of adverse events.
I keep repeating the findings of a UK study: In the first year of the pandemic, six (6) healthy children in the UK died FROM Covid. Out of about 12 million children.
Seems to me the “risk” of mortality for healthy children is approximately 1 in 2 million. For context, this is three times smaller than the risk a child will be struck by lightning (1 in 700,000) in a given year.
Even then, you have to ask how the diagnosis was made and what treatment were the children given.
It’ll only be a matter of time before this government use shithouse tactics like giving kids free iPads if they get vaccinated!

So in the UK “vaccination teams” are being dispatched to schools throughout the country. Something about this sentence/fact creeps me out.

Diddums….
I’ve seen quite a few banners tied to school fences over the past couple of days, with the slogan “kids aren’t Guinea pigs” also all the propaganda posters seem to be disappearing. There is hope yet….

It is in no small way due to the efforts of people like this young man who has used his musical talent to reach out to the youngsters. He is a hero of our times. Please watch.

Fucking brilliant, I wish he’d turned up at my school. Wonder if he takes bookings?
Legendary
He’s ace.
He sure is. He must have saved many many lives. What a hero.
“Government’s plan to risk children’s health meeting obstacles to fury of unions”.
There. Fixed that.
“damage”
It is also worthwhile commenting on the school absence figures.
Yes, 10% (overall) of pupils are off at the moment — but only 2.5% or so are off because of covid infection or covid self-isolation. The rest is just ‘absence’ — it sounds to me like there’s a problem with pupil attendance in general.
And there is a big problem with teacher absence, so it is fair for head teachers to point this out. What they didn’t say is that while 5% of teachers are absent, only 1.7% were due to covid (either infection or isolation) — the rest were just not there. Sounds to me as though they’ve got a problem with teacher attendance as well. Oh, and most of the teachers are vaccinated, so it isn’t as though the vaccines are going to solve any of these problems. Well, to be fair to the teachers, perhaps they’re all sick because of jab related side effects.
I think if I were a teacher, I might be hiding at home rather than listen to my colleagues spaffing off all day about the horrors of people not taking the vaccine.
Only I wouldn’t, because I am me. I’d be losing friends and alienating people by pointing out the truth everyday. But I appreciate not everyone is on a relentless crusade for honesty.
Spaffing off
yes there’s a right lot of that. However I work alongside a fellow traveller and we’re the only two counter-revolutionaries in the school as far as we know. She has done precisely zero research and is going on gut instinct and the fact that she never saw piles of bodies in the street and has yet to see a child with anything more serious than a test result. So I do the reading, terrify her the next day, and we collude to ignore or sidestep any and all covid bullshit that comes our way!
Oh dear. How sad. Never mind.
“school leaders reported pupil absences of 10%”
That’s not surprising because they are sending kids home at the drop of a hat. Some exhibiting little more than cold like symptoms but testing +ve, while some schools are sending kids home because they sit next to someone who tested +ve. The kids are loving it.
“10% or more of their staff were absent for Covid-related reasons”
Many off with “Super-colds” – Funny that.
You host a jabbing session.
You’re liable.
You’re head’s in the noose.
“This is at best incredibly unhelpful, and at worst very distressing, and we appeal to those concerned to see sense and stop this nonsense,” Barton added.
So now protesting, protecting your children and informing the woefully badly informed children/parents about the Yellow Card Data and JCVI refusal to sanction “jabs” for children on health grounds is “nonsense.”
It would seem the “nonsense” is achieving precisely what it was intended to achieve.
This is a Guardian article – I wouldn’t trust it or its DfE stats – especially the 35% uptake stat – I have heard it’s more likely 11% or thereabouts – and can imagine PHE et al. finding a way to inflate this as much as they can get away with – even if the reality is half what they use in this pr job – it shows massive resistance and btw protest protest protest protest – be ‘not helpful’ because myocardia is never ‘mild’ – it is permanent and very very serious.
