“Mass vaccination of children… to protect adults at the expense of children”.
Children are too young to give informed consent to experimental drugs trials. Surely it would be child abuse.
Having seen the way they treat victims in ‘care’ homes, abusing children merely seems logical.
It’s not abuse in their Aztec world view now. It’s merely child sacrifice, to appease the Gods.
Since when have children had to protect adults? I always thought adults protected children! Not any more, it seems.
Totally logical to those bellends who told us to protect the NHS
See my comment above.
This is interesting reading from WHO.
Did you know that if a child / young person attends school on the day vaccinations are being done, it is seen as implied consent for them to be vax’d?
https://www.who.int/immunization/programmes_systems/policies_strategies/consent_note_en.pdf
In that case, the school should be obliged to give a date that the jabusers will be attending the school, with sufficient notice. Last few times I have seen no warning in the school calendar. Wonder if it is now a secret policy not to provide a date to parents.
Makes a complete mockery of a consent form. I never return the form, as I refuse to treat with such an inept genocidal organisation.
“Ina a few well described circumstances consent may be waived”.
Ah, is this one of those things where they can interpret things in such a way as to make the principle of consent meaningless? And for that matter, do the same rules apply to dangerous experimental “treatments”?
Under Common Law parents own the child and it is they who have to give consent. Correct me please if I am wrong.
“Petition against making the ‘jab’ compulsory” (see above).
Please sign this if you have not already done so.
The NFL player refusing to take the vaccines has a strong legal case. Also, if the NFL has a written policy of requiring medication which is not FDA approved they are breaking the law. They would know that and are probably relying on bluff.
I think he is a hero and wish him well.
Sadly, there rare too few other players with similar intellect and integrity.
The NFL protocols are based upon zero medical evidence and straight out of the discriminatory segregation and apartheid playbook.
They will eventually be a shameful and important document for mankind going forward.
History will heap scorn on the NFL bosses and the union, and praise Cole Beasley.
Ross Clark and the Swiss doctor wrote about the same study.
The MSM in Germany is ignoring it completely, only RT reported on it.
It only confirms what us critics have been saying from the start anyway, but as it is from a mainstream institution and mainstream scientists using actual mainstream data, ignoring it only confirms the corruption and totally unscientific approach of the media, health profession and politicians in Germany.
Liam Fox says that Britons aren’t stupid?
Muzzled, imprisoned, prodded with sticks, jabbed with monkey gunk, forbidden to do anything worth doing, lapping it up, bleating for more, and they aren’t stupid?
Moronic is perhaps le mot juste!?
Liam Fox is my MP. He is walking the tightrope between pretending to be gung-ho for opening up but at the same time is an anti-vax hater. I would no more trust what he says than I would trust a drugged cobra. He was fully on board with the mask mandate last year, as he wrote to me saying that it was just a “minor imposition for a short while” and that I should get on board with it and “play my part”. Like most of the rest of them, he’s fully paid up to the globalist plans.
As for Britons not being stupid, I agree, I’ve never been so shocked as I have been over the past fifteen/sixteen months. People’s brains have gone. They are high on the covid juice.
I was going to post something similar but this fits the bill perfectly.
From the cruise item above. Proof that the snake oils really make Eeeeeeeeeverybidybsaaaaaafe:
“Already the COVID-19 vaccine has proven essential to cruise ship operations. Last week, two passengers tested positive five days into an eight-day cruise on the Celebrity Cruises’ Celebrity Millennium ship in the Caribbean, even though all adult passengers and crew showed proof of vaccination. This week, eight crew members tested positive on Royal Caribbean International’s Odyssey of the Seas ship off Florida’s coast, less than two weeks since crew members on board were vaccinated. In response, the company pushed back the ship’s tentative restart date by nearly a month.”
And this gem:
“Ships that have 98% of their crew and 95% of their passengers vaccinated can restart without test cruises; others must conduct a two-day test cruise to ensure other COVID-19 protocols are preventing outbreaks.”
So you can tell after two days whether or not there’s an outbreak?
Hey-ho, a living death on the ocean wave.

Holmes: ‘RT-PCR test positivity should not be taken as an accurate measure of infectious SARS-CoV-2 incidence. Our results confirm the findings of others that the routine use of “positive” RT-PCR test results as the gold standard for assessing and controlling infectiousness fails to reflect the fact “that 50-75% of the time an individual is PCR positive, they are likely to be post-infectious”
Dr Watson: What is that bear doing in the wood?

‘…covid was not just a “casedemic” or a “fake pandemic” (as the 2009 swine flu), but a PCR-driven “casedemic” on top of a real pandemic’
https://swprs.org/the-failure-of-pcr-mass-testing/
If there is no international PCR test standardisation, how can it possibly be stated that there has been a real pandemic?
Particularly since:
The pandemic definition is changed at whim. ‘The 2009 swine flu was a ‘fake pandemic’ because in reality it was a rather mild flu that caused few deaths globally. It was labeled a “pandemic” in June 2009 only because the WHO had removed the requirement of “enormous numbers of death and illness” one month before.’
(Swiss Doctor reference above ‘Strange pandemic’ link)
And no-one has any idea how many have died worldwide or what they have died from.
‘Robust monitoring of youth mortality remains challenging because the burden is concentrated in countries with deficient civil registration and vital statistics systems. In 2019, only 20·3% of deaths among youth occurred in countries where death registration was at least 80% complete. 25·9% of deaths occurred in China, Bangladesh, and India, where sample registration systems are in place, and for the remaining 53·9% of deaths, surveys and censuses were the primary sources of information.’

You don’t need to be clever in order p to be evil, wreck lives, and kill people.
The critic A. C. Bradley once wrote a shrewd essay on Iago in Othello. Most critics assume that because Iago causes total havoc and ruins everybody’s lives, he must be clever. Bradley argued convincingly tnat he was merely evil.
Our variously Fascist and Stalinist tyrants are merely evil.
it’s alright, the BBC are 100% sure that 500,000 have died from “it” in Brazil and it’s all Bolsonaro’s fault, and don’t mention Peru.
prophecy that future pandemics are inevitable
At the start of this hysteria in 2020. I’ve been hearing people in media saying “we were warning you about this, you didn’t listen”, “capitalism and globalism would lead to this, w cannot go on like this”, “this is the next big one”, “bla, bla, bla”…
Well, it’s all crazy, this was not the next big one. At worse, it is something like “Hong-Kong” flu of 1968-69, but more probably it is closer to a common cold than ordinary seasonal flu.
And there won’t be a next big one.
How Global Capitalism Boosted Immunities
https://www.aier.org/article/how-global-capitalism-boosted-immunities/
No book on cell and molecular biology that I’ve found mentions lockdowns and hiding as ways to beat a virus. “For most viruses that attack humans,” says Cell and Molecular Biology for Dummies, “your only defenses are prevention and your own immune systems.”
Strange isn’t it? Nothing about the awesome power of politicians to crush a virus. It should come as no surprise that the most comprehensive and global statistical analysis yet conducted concludes that “rapid border closures, full lockdowns, and wide-spread testing were not associated with COVID-19 mortality per million people” – which to say there is no evidence that any of this ghastly destruction saved lives.
…
One of the brave and intelligent voices here is Sunetra Gupta, the professor of theoretical epidemiology who leads a full team of experts at Oxford University.
Her understanding is so profound that she has, in an interview, offered up a fascinating thesis concerning why the flu pandemic of 1918 was the last truly catastrophic plague we’ve seen in the modern world.
Gupta’s claim is that when we live in isolated tribes that are sheltered from exposure, those people gradually become weaker and more vulnerable. The wrong pathogen arrives at the wrong time and the people have not been biologically prepared for it. It wipes them out in shocking ways. But with modern capitalism came the end of such sterile isolation. It gave us new methods of travelling, mixing, associating, moving, and hence led to more exposure to disease and the resulting antibodies. Hence, it is not just better therapeutics and vaccines that helped us conquer some plagues but immunities themselves. Our biological toolkit for fighting disease became improved simply through travel, trade, and global commerce.
I quote Gupta at length, beginning with her tutorial on virus immunity 101 gained over the course of last century and oddly forgotten in this century:
The other interesting issue that I’ve suddenly realised with this particular threat, is that people are treating it like an external disaster, like a hurricane or a tsunami, as if you can batten down the hatches and it will be gone eventually. That is simply not correct. The epidemic is an ecological relationship that we have to manage between ourselves and the virus.
…
Why don’t we get flu pandemics anymore? Because before 1918 there was not sufficient international travel or densities of individuals to keep flu on as the sort of seasonal thing it is now. Pockets of non-immune people would build up, and then they would be ravaged.
That was the pattern until the end of the First World War. Since then, many of these diseases have become endemic. As a result of which we are much more exposed to diseases in general and related pathogens, so if something new comes along we are much better off than we would be if we hadn’t had some sort of exposure to it.
If coronavirus had arrived in a setting where we had no coronavirus exposure before, we might be much worse off. It also seems that in addition to protection against severe disease as a result of exposure to related coronaviruses, some fraction of us seem to be resistant to infection.
That’s just fantastic news, actually. Hopefully that will be consolidated at a scientific, laboratory level. We ourselves are looking at how antibodies to seasonal coronaviruses can impact on protection against infection and disease.
Maybe we will be able to build up a picture that will reassure the public that actually we are much better off having been exposed to related coronaviruses. We are in a better place to fight off this infection than we actually thought.
One might think that this learned professor’s outlook, offered from her position at perhaps the world’s most prestigious university, would hold some sway over media and politics. The implications of what she says are not only that the lockdowns are wrong. Not only that the closures are pointless. She goes further: they are making us less healthy, and taking steps to revert the progress of health we have made over a century of travel, mixing, and close commercial relationships.
The implications of Gupta’s view – and its flipping of the run-and-hide, shelter-in-place narrative – offer a promising new way to understand the relationship between modern capitalism and the dramatic improvements in human health.
I agree with your interpretation of Sunetra’s commentary on the issue. Don’t forget that quite a few ‘isolated tribes’ came across this problem when they were invaded from Europe hundreds of years ago – e.g. https://www.encyclopedia.com/science/encyclopedias-almanacs-transcripts-and-maps/impact-european-diseases-native-americans
Thanks for the link/information. There is also the present case of North Sentinel Islands. It’s a kind of national reservation in India for tribe of people who would die if they came to contact with anyone.
Btw, I should have probably made it more clear, the text bellow the headline in bold and the link are quoted parts of the text from the link (article is by Jeffrey A. Tucker).
Much as I like the idea of pouring derision on the G7 party, the scare story about ‘infections’ is so ludicrously typical of this shit-show that it’s hard to get pleasure.
Andy Burnam (Andrew Marr show(Nick Robinson)) is against mandatory vaccines for care home staff.
