Minutes of key meetings held in September 2021 in which the U.K.’s four Chief Medical Officers agreed to overrule the Government’s vaccine advisers to push through the vaccination of children for COVID-19 have been released – and they’re damning.
They indicate:
- Significant undeclared conflicts of interest.
- No ethical input was sought or received by the CMOs.
- A divergence of views between CMOs including concerns over potentially significant unknown vaccine harms.
The minutes were obtained under a Freedom of Information request by campaign group UsForThem. They reveal that when the CMOs authorised the mass rollout of a Covid vaccine to 12 to 15 year olds – a decision taken despite the Government’s own expert vaccine advisory committee, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) having repeatedly declined to recommend it for healthy children – some of the parties involved in the critical meetings appear not to have declared potentially significant conflicts of interest.
They also show that some of the CMOs and their deputies raised concerns about the risk of exposing children to potentially significant known and unknown harms by proceeding with a mass rollout, but these concerns were set aside.
Despite the ethically contentious nature of their decision, the CMOs also appear neither to have sought nor received ethical input from the U.K. Government’s expert ethics committee.
The revelations come in a video released by UsForThem as part of a new series of exposés documenting serious pandemic wrongdoing.
In the present video, titled ‘JCVI Override‘, UsForThem founder Molly Kingsley explains that only one quarter of parents were aware that the JCVI had declined to recommend mass vaccination of 12-15 year-olds, and that just one in three say they would still have wanted their kids to be vaccinated had they known this at the time.
Kingsley, who is a lawyer by profession, told the Daily Sceptic that after four years’ worth of legal research into the pandemic era, her team has uncovered wrongdoing that they would not deem to be merely a “mistake”.
As lawyers and as parents, our view remains clear: that in a number of cases the wrongdoing of the pandemic period exceeded anything that could be termed purely ‘a mistake’. This video-cast series evidences examples and draws on four years’ worth of legal research and political campaigning from the team at UsForThem.
The first episodes are now available on YouTube. They include ‘Not Just a Mistake‘, which details how:
- In March 2020, Imperial College London published its seminal projections paper advising ‘lockdown until vaccination’, on the back of which U.K. Government imposed blanket lockdowns. Yet the public were never told that Imperial had just received $100 million from pharmaceutical industry donors.
- In January 2021, the U.K. Government imposed a masks-in-class mandate for children without having carried out a harm assessment. A harm assessment was not carried out for a further 17 months during which period children were required to endure extended periods of wearing masks for seven or eight hours each day.
- in Summer 2021, the U.K. Government appeared to sideline and then shut down its expert ethics committee after it criticised the ethics of U.K. Government vaccination policy, including the vaccination of children.
Another highlight is ‘What are they Hiding‘, which explains that datasets which might go some way to establishing whether there is a causal link between U.K. excess mortality trends and Covid vaccines have been confirmed to exist and to have been shared with vaccine manufacturers but are being withheld from the public and concerned Parliamentarians. The video goes through the evidence showing the 18-month refusal of Ministers and senior officials to disclose these data, and delves into the justifications that the British authorities – including the MHRA, the ONS, the Department for Health and the UKHSA – seem to be hiding behind, including claims that:
- the data are “commercially sensitive”;
- disclosure would be likely to harm the mental health of families of the deceased;
- disclosure would breach the privacy of already deceased persons.
UsForThem has been working alongside others behind the scenes to try to extract these key data for nearly 18 months. Kingsley says the matter will now be resolved “in the courts”.
