Read the Open Letter to Liz Truss Asking Her to Pause the Covid Vaccine Rollout to Children

by Will Jones
6 September 2022 4:00 PM

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?

Yours sincerely,

Mike Fairclough, Headteacher

Blair, Cameron. Blair’s damage was less immediately obvious (to most anyway). Cameron consolidated it.

Name some Prime Ministers who were not a waste of space and give brief reasons for your choice.

Thanks – seems like a good list, though doubtless they have their detractors. The only one I was alive for was Thatcher and she’s controversial (not with me but with others). I don’t know much about Macmillan and Douglas_home, will try to read up on them. 4 out of 16 post war were OKish according to you – that’s quite generous.

I think England is the best country in the world to live in, but I’m biased because I already live there and I am used to it. I would gladly try living in a nice part of a US state that is solidly Republican though I fully accept I might hate it as I’ve never spent much time in one.

If you’re ethnically British and grew up here most of the USA has a horrible climate for at least half of the year: I’d only go to NYC in April/May or September/October, for example.

And huge areas are just flat and boring.And the non-flat bits east of the Mississippi are covered in forest so there are no views

And the Yanks can’t drive and have no sense of humour.

They are, of course, overwhelmingly descended from people who couldn’t hack it at home.

Why not pour yourself a nice cup of tea and have a bit of a lie down.

You don’t sound at all well.

I think you may be making yourself ill.

Summing up the U.S. in a few lines is just plain silly.

You’ve never even seen most of it.

Some small piece of good news:

https://www.crowdjustice.com/case/no-benefit-all-risk-for-5-to-/

Just 6 weeks after the Court dismissed the challenge to the programme to jab the UK population of 5 to 11 year olds as being ‘totally without merit’, the programme is suddenly halted.
Very quietly, on 5 September 2022 the NHS Green Book was updated (see page 24) to say:
“This one-off programme applies to those aged 5 to 11 years, including those who turn five years of age before the end of August 2022. Subject to further clarification, on-going eligibility in 2022/23, after the one off-programme, is expected to be for children in the academic years where children are aged 11 or 12 years. Use of the paediatric formulation is advised for commencing (and for completing) vaccination for children in the relevant academic year.”
The punctuation is poor and the language is obtuse, stating the one-off programme that is now ending “includes” those turning 5 by end of August 2022, instead of saying those who have not turned 5 by end of August 2022 are excluded from the programme. The reference to advising vaccination for children in academic year where they are age 11 or 12 (first year secondary school) clearly implies it is not advised for children of primary school age. 
In summary of the position at September 2022, the mRNA jabs are no longer in the doctors’ list of things to do but, since MHRA authorisation has not been revoked (yet), they remain available, not to be offered as routine or as part of any programme but to sit on the shelf for any parent demanding a gene therapy experiment on their child.

It’s possible that they’ve stopped jabbing kids under 11, & as they’ve yet to announce jabbing anyone under 50 (except immuno-suppressed), then currently the UK is falling in line with Denmark.
See page 25 of the following document:
COVID-19 Green Book chapter 14a (publishing.service.gov.uk)
Two doses of the paediatric vaccine (see the section on age specific recommendations on vaccine type) should be offered with an interval of at least 12 weeks between doses. This one-off programme applies to those aged 5 to 11 years, including those who turn five years of age before the end of August 2022. Subject to further clarification, on-going eligibility in 2022/23, after the one off-programme, is expected to be for children in the academic years where children are aged 11 or 12 years. Use of the paediatric formulation is advised for commencing (and for completing) vaccination for children in the relevant academic year.
It’s written in such a way as to be almost impenetrable but it means NO vaccines for kids under 11.
This is definitely a contender for the ‘Plain English Campaign’s’ worst paragraph of the year award. Even the tenses are mixed up.. Who writes this stuff?

Perfect timing. Truss’s response to this will show us and the rest of the country just what we can expect from her. I see no reason not to expect a prompt reply to this letter.

It’s a good draft letter, and I agree with it in principle. Just one minor(ish) comment: when it says under the heading about “catching and spreading Covid” it states that it was the original promise that it could protect a third party. However, when I received the paperwork from a branch of the NHS back in March 2021, it actually stated in black and white that “We do not yet know whether it will stop you from catching and passing on the virus”. Alright, they, or other promoters, might have changed their minds. Maybe they were more honest at the start.

This letter matches almost word for word the one I sent to the school I teach at when it was announced that it was to become a ‘vaccination’ centre.
They of course did not heed my warning and went ahead, bragging about its success only the other day when we returned after the summer break.
The injuries caused by these injections are too few and far between for those who have bought the lie to make the connection. That’s what makes it such an effective weapon I suppose. You can see the effects in population level data, but the numerous injuries and deaths going on around us are easily dismissed as normal by undiscerning Normies. All we can do is be thankful we saw this for what it was. Blessed are the sceptics for they shall inherit the earth…

I don’t know about Liz Truss, but Therese Coffey seems to be a lukewarm maskist vaxxer, though she might have seen the light since the heyday[1] of the jabbing craze and Partygate. Christmas Nights out with a mask on! Really? https://www.eadt.co.uk/news/health/suffolk-mass-covid-vaccination-effort-8540818

For her Christmas night out she said she would be wearing a mask, the group would be doing their lateral flow tests beforehand and they had checked to make sure the venue is well-ventilated. 

She added: “I won’t be dancing. I think people do just need to keep cautious and keep in a ventilated area and wear masks and make sure you have your vaccine.”

One of the most alarming stories I heard was from a friend of mine. He went into a pharmacy in St Leonards to get something and he heard a child protesting to his mother that he didn’t want the jab. I mean really screaming “I don’t want it! I don’t want it!”. My (unvaccinated) friend was so shocked, he didn’t know what to do in the moment and left. It was nothing less than child abuse, pure and simple. I think the child had picked up intuitively on what this jab was – poison. It shocked me just hearing about it and I would like to think that I would have said something but who knows when you’re faced by that.

Had the vaccines been sterilising (preventive of infection and spread), the pandemic would be done now, stopped dead in early-21. But non-sterilising vaccines have simply pushed the pathogen to develop in forms that evade them. The variants keep coming.

A child encountering covid will not necessarily even know about it, their innate antibodies just deal with it. Vaccinal antibodies in children can interfere with natural immunity, even protect the covid spike from natural antibodies.

This is how you would cause auto-immune disease if you were trying to do it.

Pfizer have been granted approval in the USA to jab 6-months-to-4-year-olds. Yet no sound person could say any kind of approval was justified by the data presented. ‘You want to inject my healthy child, at no risk from this pathogen, based on a sample size of 10, with 1 event in the trial arm and 2 in the placebo arm, with a substance that will stop the development of his or her innate immune system?’

No healthy young child has died of covid, anywhere. Some very ill and some morbidly obese ones have, but no healthy young child has died of covid.

What is happening is beyond corruption – it is hubris. The people profiteering from this jab scam are going to be gibbeted when parents realize what they have done.
