Boris Calls For Vaccination of Children to Keep Schools Open – But Why When Almost All of Them Have Had the Virus?

Pressurising parents with the threat of closing schools to vaccinate their children when the safety profile is highly uncertain and the disease is no real threat to them is not a medically or ethically sound policy.

2 min read

Boris Johnson yesterday called for all children to be vaccinated in order to keep schools open. He told a Downing Street press conference: “We know how crucial it is to keep children in school, so let’s all make sure our children and young people are vaccinated before they go back next term.”

But why is this a good idea when most schoolchildren have had the virus already and have natural immunity? According to the MRC Biostatistics Unit at the University of Cambridge, nearly half of children in England under 15 caught the virus between the beginning of September and mid-October, bringing the total infected at that point to 76%, with more having caught it since. These estimates, while modelled, are also broadly in line with ONS Infection Survey estimates, which show a large outbreak in schoolchildren this autumn.

Noah Carl has highlighted three recent large studies which show that immunity via infection is much stronger and more durable than immunity via vaccination. In the chart below from a Danish study, the green line is protection over time from vaccine only, the orange line is from infection only and the yellow line is from infection plus vaccine.

This suggests there is little additional protection to be gained from being vaccinated, particularly once infected. Furthermore, the vaccines are not without risks, with the JCVI in September advising against vaccinating 12-15 year-olds owing to the low severity of the disease in the young and the serious adverse events like myocarditis which are “still in the process of being described”, so that “substantial uncertainty remains regarding the health risks associated with these adverse events”. Side-effects have also been found to be more common in those previously infected, making the mass vaccination of a young population with high prior infection rates particularly low gain and high risk. In Vietnam, the government reports that four children have so far died following a reaction to the Pfizer vaccine.

Isn’t it better for schoolchildren to be exposed to these viruses and variants so they can build up immunity to them? Since when did we vaccinate children against colds and flu – and close schools in the winter because they get the sniffles? Pressurising parents to vaccinate their children with vaccines for which the safety profile is, as the JCVI advised, highly uncertain, against a disease which is no real threat to them, under threat of closing schools if too many of them get sick, is not a medically or ethically sound policy.

My father and millions of others fought for six years against a regime that had a predilection for forcibly injecting people and demanding ‘papers please’. He would be turning in his grave if he knew that this was now part of our society.

As an aside, if I was a satirist I would not have been able to improve on the fact that a Communist, Susan Michie, AKA ‘Stalin’s Nanny’ is advising what purports to be a Tory Government.

Johnson knows that children can die or suffer very serious side effects and harm after and experimental mRNA Gene Therapy injection which they do not need an which has no significant effect on the transmission or contraction of any Covid variant – the evidence is stacked high round the world for all to seek out and read..

He is attempting to use scare mongering, threats and coercion to push these injections onto them

He is therefore in violation of the Nuremberg Code International Human Rights Conventions is a disgrace to his Office and indeed to humanity.

We are at a new moral low point in this country

Maybe it’s just British reserve, don’t want to be rude, etc, but isn’t it about time somebody called out Bojo, his cabinet, and all those MPs who think sticking needles into kids is a good thing, as sadistic paedophiles who are only interested in the money they get from Big Pharma, and not in the nation they are supposed to serve, and from whom they draw obscene salaries. Vaccinating kids is not about health, but about weirdos fulfilling their fantasies of domination and control over those who cannot resist.

Since when did we vaccinate children against flu? Since when did we inject chemicals of a vaccine that has had little long term testing and does in fact have harmful effects on some children, just so that adults can be “protected”. The MP whose tweet was deleted was wrong. We already live in a “public health socialist society” and have since March 2020. And, if anyone asks, I am (reluctantly) jabbed, boosted and doubtless have armfuls of T cells, and antibodies from all the other viruses I’ve picked up in 75 years.

Actually since around the time my son started school in 2013. They’ve been vaccinating his age cohort every winter. It’s nonsense, but at least it’s a fairly safe vaccine.

This year I told them to sod off. I hadn’t fully understood the risk of original antigenic sin before, and I think he’s better off without it.

To use an mRNA “vaccine “ on a child who has recovered from Covid19 is of no benefit to society or the child but carries known risk of adverse reaction. The Pfizer study specifically excluded this group. While Chris Whitty chose a career in an office , many of us were treating patients and publishing scientific and medical articles and profoundly disagree with his analysis.
This is the Pfizer child study exclusion: …In addition, in the phase 1 study, children with a previous clinical or virologic Covid-19 diagnosis were excluded.

Quite right. They cannot approve it in a group that has not been studied.
And both my children have had covid.

So what are people thinking:

  1. conditioning
  2. depopulation
  3. prep for Stoma (happy pills)
  4. sadism
  5. pure insanity
  6. prep for a 5G controlled kill pill
  7. money transfer

I wish I could think of a logical nice explanation.

I am going with pure insanity for the most part. And then there is a cadre who see the vaccine passports as a gateway to data culling ($$$)/digital ID/CBDC control.

But I think they are the minority and the others have just decided that the solution to a pandemic must be a vaccine, and if it’s not working then it’s because not enough people have done it. Insanity.

Our healthcare system is about to experience a tsunami! Potential side effects of jabs include chronic inflammation, because the vaccine continuously stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies. Other concerns include the possible integration of plasmid DNA into the body’s host genome, resulting in mutations, problems with DNA replication, triggering of autoimmune responses, and activation of cancer-causing genes. Alternative COVID cures EXIST. Ivermectin is one of them. While Ivermectin is very effective curing COVID symptoms, it has also been shown to eliminate certain cancers. Do not get the poison jab. Get your Ivermectin today while you still can! https://ivmpharmacy.com

I find the tone of this piece a bit tentative, given the strong condemnation from experts such as Malone and Bakhdi.

One need, in fact, go no further than to highlight the basics (and forget ‘infection’ rates) :

– vaccines cannot be declared safe or effective in this timescale

– vaccinating children who are not at risk flies in the face of all civilised ethical principals – unless you are a follower of Mengele.

It’s the unions, because of school’s behaving as essential childcare for people who work allowing them to close under union threat is essentially shutting down much of the country’s economy.

This needs to be better known and then perhaps the PM (whoever that is) would have more support to allow the unions to be faced down. If you want more on this look for Ben Irvine on YouTube or @BenIrvineAuthor on Twitter. He’s got the measure of the mad Marxists in the NEU and other unions.

I was saying much the same last Summer but what you miss is that the teaching unions have clearly been given the nod by Bozo and chums to act as they do.

The unions claim they are protecting the nation’s health and Bozo can claim it’s not his fault – it woz the Unions. Honest.

By this very announcement Bozo has confirmed he is guilty of crimes against humanity. He has been warned by countless, respected sources NOT to vaccinate children.

I’m not sure whether you’re referring to the citizens or idiot journalists like Ben O’Shea. Personally, after his bucketload of BS article, I’d say Ben feels the walls closing in more than any vax averse Australian.

‘We are trying to roll this booster out at speed and at pace’.

That was just broadcast on BBC R4 Woman’s Hour … I must go & turn the bloody propaganda off, as I do when R4 goes off the rails.

Also, I heard earlier, another suggestion that it’s totally safe for pregnant woman.

Er, that wasn’t what Pfizer said, was it?

I believe this to be politics – he wants to keep the schools open regardless of the evidence that children are at very low risk from this virus and its variants – even if that means jabbing millions of kids with an experimental vaccine – he needs to be seen doing something. The common sense thing to do would be to state the fact that kids are at zero risk but he knows the Labour backing teachers unions won’t have any of it so I believe he wants kids jabbed to appease the unions.

No coincidence that the recent restrictions came about when it was being revealed that the Johnson Junta were having boozy wine and cheese partys while the rest of the country were told to cancel Christmas in 2020 – it was a political move to save his arse. Senselessly jabbing millions of kids is no coincidence either – this is a political game for Johnson who wants to save his failing premiership.

Johnson is a lying self-serving twisted narcissist who will say and do anything to remain in power.

NO NO NO.

No Boris, no. Keep away from my children, keep away from me. There is no possible scientific rationale for jabbing kids for a bug they have almost certainly already been exposed to an likely have already had AND that does them no damn harm.
