There follows an open letter from Mike Fairclough, Headteacher; Tony Hinton, Consultant Surgeon; Dr. Jonathan Engler; Dr. Renee Hoenderkamp; Dr. Clare Craig; Bernadette Spofforth, CEO and investor; Joel Smalley, Reform U.K. Spokesperson; Saffron Walden; and Bev Turner, writer, radio and television presenter and business owner, asking new Prime Minister Liz Truss to heed the worrying safety data and pause the vaccine rollout to children.
Dear Liz Truss,
Congratulations on becoming our new Prime Minister. We are hopeful that you will lead the nation with the wellbeing of its citizens as your priority, particularly when it comes to our children.
The majority of parents in the U.K. have decided not to allow their children to receive the Covid vaccination. Many have concluded that the risks outweigh the benefits. This was clear at the start of the rollout and has become even more apparent in light of new and emerging data.
Will you commit to pausing the Covid vaccine rollout to children, now that you are our Prime Minister?
The reasons for this request are as follows:
Children are not at risk of serious illness from Covid
Children are not at risk of serious illness from Covid. The Department for Education published a report on January 5th 2022 titled, “Evidence Summary Coronavirus (COVID-19) and the use of face coverings in education settings“. Within the document it states, “Children and young people are at very low risk of serious illness from COVID-19 infection and preliminary U.K. Health Security Agency (UKHSA) analysis estimated a lower risk of hospitalisation among Omicron cases in school-aged children.”
The fact that children are at very low risk of serious illness from Covid is something which is now widely accepted by many medical professionals. The vast majority of children already have excellent immune systems, which is why they are at such a low risk. Most children have already caught Covid and have broad and deep immunity from natural infection. Giving healthy children a Covid vaccine is unnecessary, when they are not at personal risk from the virus.
The Covid vaccines pose known risks
In contrast to the very small risk to children from Covid infection, the Covid vaccines pose known, short term and unknown long term risks. These include a risk of inflammation of the heart muscle (myocarditis). Young males are at higher risk of myocarditis, as reported in the British Medical Journal : “COVID-19: Boys are more at risk of myocarditis after vaccination than of hospital admission for Covid“.
There are a wide range of possible additional adverse side-effects as a result of Covid vaccination. According to the MHRA Yellow Card reporting scheme, the number of suspected ADR reports received in the U.K., up to and including April 20th 2022, for the COVID-19 Pfizer/BioNTech Vaccine, is 132,390 in England alone.
Due to reporting in the mainstream media, the public have also been made aware of tragic deaths as a result of the Covid vaccines. The BBC journalist, Lisa Shaw, is a famous example. More recently reported is the death of Dawn Wooldridge, who died in June last year, 11 days after her first Pfizer vaccination. 18 year old, Kasey Turner, died from a blood clot, two weeks after her Covid vaccination. This is to name just a few of the sad and unnecessary deaths.
There is also a large amount of new and emerging safety data and related concerns about the Pfizer vaccine. In December 2021, U.S. District Judge, Mark Pittman ordered the FDA to release Pfizer’s safety data from its Covid vaccine trials. The FDA had previously requested that this data be withheld from the public for 75 years. The data, which comprises 55,000 pages published every month, is extremely concerning. For example, in the first three months of the trials, Pfizer reported that 1,200 people died following vaccination with its product. This information was not available at the start of the rollout to children. However, now that the data is emerging, it is irresponsible and unethical to continue with the rollout. A further 55,000 pages will be released every month, up until October 2022.
Given that children are at very low risk of serious illness from Covid, why risk the death or serious injury of a child following Covid vaccination?
There is no long-term safety data for the Covid vaccines
Unlike all of the other childhood vaccines, there is no long-term safety data for the Covid vaccines. This means that there is no way of knowing for sure that the vaccines will not result in harm to a child in years to come.
The Covid vaccines do not prevent a child from catching and spreading Covid
The Covid vaccines do not prevent a person from catching and spreading Covid. This was the original promise of the vaccines, but we now know that this is not the case. If a child can still catch and spread Covid after vaccination, why take this unnecessary risk?
The risks outweigh the benefits
It is very clear that when it comes to vaccinating children against Covid, the risks from the Covid vaccines outweigh the benefits. We now know that vaccinating children against Covid is likely to harm some of those who receive it. In light of the known and emerging safety concerns, will you commit to pausing the rollout, now that you have become our Prime Minister?

Great Mysteries of the World No. 428:
Yet still they come
A brilliant analysis of where we are.
“a country where the regime loathes its people and labors quietly to end them.”
And still the majority of the people who do vote cast a vote for the regime – what fools!
The British way has been to turn a blind eye to the various minorities knowing that they will in the end turn on themselves.
This is happening in the gender world where trans folk are fighting with the gay folk.
The Companies who hire by diversity not competence are experiencing practical problems causing them to lose large sums of money.
The save the newts, bats, nettles etc Green groups will fight each other to prevent the building of new homes or infrastructure.
The costs for the non medical staff will soon cause problems for the costs of the medical staff.
The Muslim vote will split into sectarian sides and sectarian cities.
So a new Lebanon by the Atlantic.
The Met Police’s recruitment advertisement the author refers to follows the Home Office’s 2020 recruiting campaign (under a Tory government) which featured adverts on commercial radio stations inviting people to join to ‘make a difference in the community’ in respect of a variety of stated inequalities. The police as social worker. That is, until required as Praetorian Guard.
Pimlico has observed, as does the author, that at the same time the police are friends of criminals, the state aggregates to them ever more powers. The Roman Empire had no police force, only a Praetorian Guard.
It is easy to forget that England did not spring fully formed out of the German Sea. The tribes and clans who arrived by boat in the 4th and 5th centuries did not know what would grow from themselves. To 6th century Northumbrian monks, Sussex was like the ‘darkest Africa’ referred to by Victorian explorers. Just how alien this was can be grasped from works such as Thomas Williams’s Lost Realms.
The state of the Church of England today, its congregations and clergy, is worthy of deeper examination. A personal familiarity with these individuals reveals that they believe that Jesus of Nazareth really promoted modern liberal progressivism. He would certainly have stood on the white cliffs at Dover, welcoming migrants (despite various Gospel passages that would certainly not supply any evidence of that).
Not only that, but that a person must be converted to this ideology before they can become a follower of Jesus. And that without it, they cannot be saved. This is, of course, never stated openly, for it is not so much a belief consciously formulated, as an air breathed from somewhere else. Yet speak to any of these individuals and they reveal all this either by their superior attitude or by a contemptuous remark.
One pair of Christians known to me, both middle-aged professionals of the educated class, deliberately put it to me (a person from London) that there are more non-white than white Londoners. This was said to wound since they believe I might be uncomfortable with this state of affairs.
The sense of their moral superiority in obviously approving such conditions of demography coupled with their palpable distain of the ‘Little (white) Londoner’ curiously at odds with the Apostle Paul’s exhortation to his converts that, as followers of Christ, they be charitable and respectful in their dealings with others, even with those with whom they disagree, and certainly with fellow Christians. As Paul said, Whoever despises, despises not man but God.
British history is still occasionally useful to the regime. The print and online media regularly regale readers with stories of Russian bombers being intercepted ‘heading for Britain’. Shades of the Battle of Britain.
Churchill is quoted by a foreign president whose country is at war with an invader and who is canvassing the UK’s support.
Britain’s long (really, intermittent) history of being ‘generous’ in hosting refugees is trotted out to put the country into an emotional headlock. Such managing the message has been deployed before. In December 1938 the Dundee Evening Standard printed a piece called ‘The Foreign Bits of Britain’ at the moment when Czech refugees from Sudetenland were about to be settled on the west coast of Scotland.
The 1934 film, The Scarlet Pimpernel, made much of Shakespeare’s sceptred isle at the moment when an anti-Christian regime, and one potentially hostile to Britain, had come to power in Germany as one had in Revolutionary France. But what happened in 2024? A peasants revolt in the sceptic isle?
Thanks to the Daily Sceptic for this powerful essay by Joshua Trevino.
Beautiful.
The final sentence has brought tears to my eyes.
“…in a world where England is finished and dead,
I do not wish to live.”

John Wycliffe at TCW with his appraisal of the state of Britain today.
“the main takeaway from recent events is that very large numbers of people – well beyond an idiotic, violent fringe – now realise we do not live in a democracy in any meaningful sense. There will be a reckoning that the current system will not survive. Let us hope and pray it will be a peaceful one.”
“… the civil unrest in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland across the past two weeks.”

Materialism always has to run its course. Because of course the moment you surrender to materialism is the moment when all material comfort stops. And then you are reminded of other realms. If you are wise then at that point you take guidance from beauty. If you don’t then the beautiful will still prevail.
Great article Joshua – Even though we are time poor in this modern world, I look forward to the Daily Sceptic email and always find the time to read some of the articles in depth, such great work. Thank you – we must support such balanced and intellectual output! Much good work is lost for the lack of a little more as they say – we must all put in that effort to maintain what we have and what has been passed down by our heroic, hard working ancestors.
The Secret People – GK Chesterton
Smile at us, pay us, pass us; but do not quite forget;
For we are the people of England, that never have spoken yet.
There is many a fat farmer that drinks less cheerfully,
There is many a free French peasant who is richer and sadder than we.
There are no folk in the whole world so helpless or so wise.
There is hunger in our bellies, there is laughter in our eyes;
You laugh at us and love us, both mugs and eyes are wet:
Only you do not know us. For we have not spoken yet.
The fine French kings came over in a flutter of flags and dames.
We liked their smiles and battles, but we never could say their names.
The blood ran red to Bosworth and the high French lords went down;
There was naught but a naked people under a naked crown.
And the eyes of the King’s Servants turned terribly every way,
And the gold of the King’s Servants rose higher every day.
They burnt the homes of the shaven men, that had been quaint and kind,
Till there was no bed in a monk’s house, nor food that man could find.
The inns of God where no man paid, that were the wall of the weak.
The King’s Servants ate them all. And still we did not speak.
And the face of the King’s Servants grew greater than the King:
He tricked them, and they trapped him, and stood round him in a ring.
The new grave lords closed round him, that had eaten the abbey’s fruits,
And the men of the new religion, with their bibles in their boots,
We saw their shoulders moving, to menace or discuss,
And some were pure and some were vile; but none took heed of us.
We saw the King as they killed him, and his face was proud and pale;
And a few men talked of freedom, while England talked of ale.
A war that we understood not came over the world and woke
Americans, Frenchmen, Irish; but we knew not the things they spoke.
They talked about rights and nature and peace and the people’s reign:
And the squires, our masters, bade us fight; and scorned us never again.
Weak if we be for ever, could none condemn us then;
Men called us serfs and drudges; men knew that we were men.
In foam and flame at Trafalgar, on Albuera plains,
We did and died like lions, to keep ourselves in chains,
We lay in living ruins; firing and fearing not
The strange fierce face of the Frenchmen who knew for what they fought,
And the man who seemed to be more than a man we strained against and broke;
And we broke our own rights with him. And still we never spoke.
Our patch of glory ended; we never heard guns again.
But the squire seemed struck in the saddle; he was foolish, as if in pain,
He leaned on a staggering lawyer, he clutched a cringing Jew,
He was stricken; it may be, after all, he was stricken at Waterloo.
Or perhaps the shades of the shaven men, whose spoil is in his house,
Come back in shining shapes at last to spoil his last carouse:
We only know the last sad squires rode slowly towards the sea,
And a new people takes the land: and still it is not we.
They have given us into the hand of new unhappy lords,
Lords without anger or honour, who dare not carry their swords.
They fight by shuffling papers; they have bright dead alien eyes;
They look at our labour and laughter as a tired man looks at flies.
And the load of their loveless pity is worse than the ancient wrongs,
Their doors are shut in the evening; and they know no songs.
We hear men speaking for us of new laws strong and sweet,
Yet is there no man speaketh as we speak in the street.
It may be we shall rise the last as Frenchmen rose the first,
Our wrath come after Russia’s wrath and our wrath be the worst.
It may be we are meant to mark with our riot and our rest
God’s scorn for all men governing. It may be beer is best.
But we are the people of England; and we have not spoken yet.
Smile at us, pay us, pass us. But do not quite forget.
A very powerful essay and a good read, in the sense of it hits the spot. But depressing and anger-inducing at the same time. I despair for our country but will resist the pygmies who have brought us to this state in every way I can.
The seed was British.
The seed is British, because a seed has no form and no time.
The seed is original, and originality holds the pattern that form must act out.
