Children as young as 12 will be given Covid vaccines when they return to school after summer, according to leaked “core planning” documents. Even younger children could be vaccinated shortly afterwards, with Oxford University’s ongoing child vaccine study testing the AstraZeneca jab on 300 children aged six to 17. The Government reportedly wants to vaccinate the young to help the nation avoid a third wave of Covid infections. MailOnline has the story.
Children as young as 12 will get their coronavirus vaccines from September as the Government tries to avoid a third wave, reports say…
There are also reportedly plans for Britons over 50 to be given booster jabs in the autumn amid fears over Covid variants sweeping Europe…
A source told the Sun: “Plans are in place to vaccinate children aged 12 upwards, and senior Government officials have been briefed.
“Though controversial, it is deemed necessary to stop the U.K. regressing in its remarkable fight against Covid.”
Health officials are also said to be looking into jabbing children as young as five from July in a “worst-case scenario”.
The leaked report shows the Government’s contingency plan if the roadmap out of lockdown this summer leads to a surge in variants…
The Department of Health said no decision has been taken, adding: “We will be guided by experts once clinical trials have concluded.”
This comes in spite of the low risk presented by Covid to young people (as few as 14 people under the age of 20 in England and Wales have died of Covid in 2021) and the fact that a large proportion of those who are vulnerable – whom the Government fears young people could infect – have been vaccinated. (More than 11 million people have now received two doses of a Covid vaccine and 95% of over-50s have been vaccinated.)
Last month, Sean O’Grady, the Associate Editor of the Independent, said that the vaccination of the young should be mandatory.
I would vaccinate every child old enough to receive it, as a condition of receiving a state education. …
Of course, in the end, we do not want to live in a country where gangs of officials grab unvaccinated children or adults, wrestle them to the ground and forcibly inject them. But we do want to live in a country where rights are balanced by responsibilities, and where mutual obligations need to be fulfilled.
Incentives and penalties, taxes and fines, court orders and conditions of employment – restrictions on liberty – are commonplace in our daily lives; for the protection of the community as a whole. If we want to drive the wrong way down a motorway, then there are legal consequences for doing so.
Meanwhile, the reported risk of suffering from blood clots after taking the AstraZeneca vaccine (Britain’s primary Covid vaccine) has doubled in a fortnight, according to new data from the Medical Healthcare products and Regulatory Agency. The European Medicines Agency has also said that a warning about blood clots should be added to labels for the Johnson & Johnson Covid vaccine, which is likely to be approved for use in the U.K. in the coming weeks. Dr Alan Mordue, a retired public health consultant, recently wrote for Lockdown Sceptics that “the potential benefits [of vaccination] may not be justified by the potential risks” for people under the age of 50.
The Mail’s report is worth reading in full.

I really can’t decide which is worse, vaccinating children or pregnant women. Way beyond disgusting
So not content with depriving our children of a proper education for more than 12 months and adversely affecting their mental health our dystopian Orwellian government now proposes carrying out gene experimentation on them. These ministers and scientists are eugenic criminals and should be imprisoned.
The depopulation programme has begun. Our children are probably going to acquiesce and put our grandchildren in great danger. We will be dead by the time these little souls grow up and become the serfs of the very few at the top of the tree. However, our children will come to realise what they have done. Will they stop these psychopaths or will they bee to cowed and fearful.
I cannot cope with the thought. Like so many of our friends we are fighting as hard as we can to educate the younger generation. Sometimes I feel we are losing the battle due to the greed and ignorance of politicians, journalists and many frontline medics.
like so many of us older people, I think there will be a huge suicide rate if the Globalist Cartel win this. Not just within my age group (70s) and above, but within the group of useful idiots like the political and media fraternity when they realise what they have done.
There is a sickness sweeping the UK. But it isn’t covid19. It’s some kind of mind-virus that makes people lose all sense of perspective, rationality and morality. It is the Salutem Tyrannus virus (broadly translates as the Health Tyrant virus if my non-existent Latin is up to the job, which it almost certainly isn’t).
Looking at the figures in the table below we can see that, for England & Wales, up to April 9th 2021 only 31 people in the age range 10 to 19 had died as a result of covid19 (official figures). That represents about 0.00046% of the young people in that age range.
Using the 2020 figures and an overall IFR of 0.4% one can estimate the IFR for this age range to be about 1 death per 145,000 infections. Remind me again what the Telegraph quoted as the risk of a serious blood clot? And that’s just focusing on clots which is just one of the reported serious side effects.
And we must also recall that most deaths are occurring in people with some other underlying health issue – so the risks in the table below are much lower if you’re a healthy individual. I would… Read more »
Hard to understand isn’t it? I think it sometimes helps if you say it out loud, THE WORLD HAS GONE MAD BECAUSE OF A COLD! There, if feels quite dangerous to have said it doesn’t it? Now even louder……AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND HAVE CLOSED ENTIRELY BECAUSE OF A COLD! No, don’t laugh it really is true!
Really shout it, …WE ARE USING EXPERIMENTAL DRUGS ON THE ENTIRE WORLD BECAUSE OF A COLD!
I’m feeling better already!
We all know that common colds can lead to more serious things like influenza and pneumonia, and we know that sadly some people will die. But we don’t turn the world upside down and cause even greater harms because of it. You are not mad the rest of the world is.
This is truly deplorable. Why would any parent subject their child to what is in effect an untested ‘vaccine’?
No long-term side effects are yet known and also the short term side effects should dissaude any right-thinking parents of subjecting their child to this procedure.
I am disusted by this.
This is about reducing liability for one giant hysterical error, and it isn’t going to end now because Britain’s hysterical elderly lost their minds and all queued up like Zombies to “do their bit”. Not, you know, pay taxes in proportion to how much they’re actually costing us all, or get off the roads, or sell their huge homes to make space for a younger family to move in.
No, they stepped up to have an untested gene therapy for cancer injected into them to protect them from a very unlikely harm. They let their fear of not existing override their duty to protect their children and grandchildren and dressed it up as a virtuous act, when in fact it was just a selfish gesture of compliance with an abusive, tyrannical regime.
And now they’re frolicking out there, mobile blood clots, driving their cars, sitting in family-sized houses with no families in their, tending to gardens that are so desperately needed by children, sucking up resources that they have done nothing to earn and to justify. I mean, how is it right that 2 70 year olds live in a large 4-bed detached burning gas and electricity and… Read more »
”How is it right that 2 70 year olds live in a large 4-bed detached burning gas and electricity and running 2 cars”. Ummm because they earned the money to buy these things and we live in a free market democracy not a communist or fascist state. I suspect when you are a little older and a little less entitled, your views may change but meanwhile stop feeling so damned sorry for yourself. It wasn’t all a bed of roses in previous decades. Us 60s and 70s kids left education to huge levels of youth unemployment and paid 15%+ mortgage interest. Older generations had rationing and national service. Millennials onwards have had it better than any generation in history. Wind your neck in!
What you have said and the way you have said it traduces all of us lockdown sceptics
Aside from my shared outrage that the bastards are going to start pumping poison into children, in the picture at the top of the page… why is that doctor injecting the woman in her elbow?
Weird voodoo stuff.
Me thinks you should have gone to Specsavers
Over my dead body. I’m not even in the slightest bit ‘anti-vax’ but why the actual fuck would I allow my child to be vaccinated against a virus which is of absolutely no consequence at population level. No fucking way will I bow to this unscientific idiocy.
Beyond furious and hoping that finally parents might crawl out of their ignorant sanctimonious hysteria and start actually caring about their children’s futures.
I think, sadly, and for most of us here, bewilderingly, a huge chunk of the population, including kids in school, have been told, and believe, they are responsible for killing other people because they are Asymptomatic spreaders!
Their parent believe it, they believe it, and they feel that they are doing a good, kind, conscientious, altruistic thing being vaccinated.
Welcome to Wonderland!
If the Government goes ahead with this insane policy it will cost them dear – it will come when The Sun splashes the first picture of little dead Jimmy on its front page. Then there will be no place for Johnson, Hancock, Gove, etc to hide.
Only in an isolation cell in the slammer!
Unfortunately it will be the needless death and maiming of children via ‘vaccination’ that will bring this whole catastrophe to an end in the UK I suspect.
It feels like it is going to become a very hostile climate for folks who do now wish to have a covid vaccine and vaccinating children makes me feel ill but like many have said here there will be parents who desperately want this.

Court proceedings on behalf of a child have been issued. We have an initial hearing date for Fri 30 April.”
We must see the same happens in respect of vaccines for children.
This is horrendously immoral. There is absolutely no net benefit to children but there is potential harm. Even if blood clots etc are 1 in a million that could lead to 10 dead children. 10,000 elderly lives are not worth sacrificing 10 children to protect.
Adults are supposed to protect children, not put them at risk to protect themselves.
A lot of selfish older people out there, Glen.
I know because I’m 72 myself.
Can someone with legal training write a template letter that a parent can send to the school, to warn of the consequences, if their child is *accidentally* vaccinated without their permission?
Warning of “consequences” would be a case of shutting stable door after horse has bolted. Template letter is good idea – maybe lawyers for liberty are working on one – but it would be better framed in terms similar to an advance directive along the lines of “I do not permit my child to be vaccinated.” so that the child is protected and the refusal of the vaccine is done for them ahead of time if the child would not be able to give informed consent on their own behalf.
Over my dead body…
The other day someone asked why all the sudden attention being given to India. Simple, with 1.3b people it’s easy to come up with big numbers.
Today the Telegraph reports
‘India resorts to mass cremation . . .’ leaving one to imagine piles of bodies being burned in mass bonfires.
They post this on YouTube as evidence.
I would suggest that with all that ventilation this building is specifically designed for the task, each pyre is in its own sunken hearth and that this is normality, much like a Crematorium.
It is absolutely horrendous seeing them do the same nonsense they did with Brazil to India now because they have large populations and most people have no idea how to put the headlines into context.
yes – BBC obsessed with India – using it to ramp up the fear – had to try to explain it to an elderly person the other day who mentioned it in the context of how we all had to continue to be vigilant about this worrying virus
It is extremely pertinent here that the study includes only 300 children. Is that big enough to show if a treatment is safe, even in the short term? LS editors, if you’re reading the comments, PLEASE invite a professional to write a piece addressing the adequacy, or otherwise, of the trial.
Not that we have any right to coerce vaccination anyway.
Over my dead body. Come and try me Boris & Co. I’m waiting.
Die on this hill.
I’d rather die on the hill several hills before that one. If they can’t force me they can’t force my kids
Yes this is my hill to die on too.
What possible justification can they have for “vaccinating” children if they are not affected by covid and the people who get ill from covid (the elderly and already sick) are already vaccinated? Literally, it’s nonsense. But is anyone asking that question? Check your media – is anybody asking??
As someone wrote in an article yesterday, this is ‘medical colonialism’.
People are not taking the jab, just more fear porn
The quotation from the barmy Sean O’Grady is interesting from an oblique point of view : it illustrates into what a deep pit the standard of journalism has fallen, when someone who is an ” associate editor” can show such brainless ignorance of a subject.
That’s enough for me. The ‘State’ has declared war against the people.
Who in their right mind would allow their children to receive an experimental gene therapy?
“Who in their right mind would allow their children to receive an experimental gene therapy?”
The kind of idiot who would inject it into themselves, that’s who. Is it really such a leap that something a family and their friends deem fit for themsleves or their parents and grandparents wouldn’t be deemed fit for the children? If you believe in this crap then you don’t see the danger because you don’t know about it and you are being constantly told by the government and the media it is safe and fully tested, when the exact opposite is true, plus it has been given the go-ahead by these snake oil salesmen Doctors like Professor Marshall who featured in a LS article yesterday. Now the schools are recommending it too. “It MUST be safe!”, people will understandably conclude, but they are being tricked into reaching that conclusion because the real science says there is plenty of reason to deem these injections as very unsafe. Real science suggests we should be extremely wary of these injections, but these people have no doubts at all and the issues are being deliberately and blatantly hidden from them.
32 million people have done this, so… Read more »
Yes the report came out in France on 2 April. Its not the only one.
I am not even sure Macron is that keen himself on pushing the vaccine, its all a bit ‘hit and miss’ here. There is much huffing and puffing, but its still left to the individual to get one. I am approaching 70 and no-one has contacted me about one, thank god.
The latest non-lockdown ( except for the continuing 7pm curfew, which no-one in the countryside seems to take any notice of) the only real difference was the kids had an extra week off school after Easter, is coming to an end on 3 May. The numbers of so-called cases are just as high as before because the 20-30 year olds are getting tested, and the ICU numbers are just as high. But this is France and May is the ‘bridging’ month , its about the lowest productive month of the year. So everyone will go for breaks anyway whatever the government says, so they have sensibly decided to end most restrictions, including geographic restrictions. Its expected restaurants/bars/cafes will reopen for ‘terraces’ initially and then fully , probably supposedly phased in over the month.

Where are the ethics here? This is Satanic
I will leave the country to educate my children if necessary.
Yes Florida might be a safe bet…
For the time being – what if you relocate [provided they let you in] and then there is a change of governor and someone Biden like gets in???
I’ve been thinking the same thing… And I’m in Italy.
Blood will be on Sean O’Grady’s hands (but like a true marxist he’ll think mass-murder a small price to pay for his ego).
The biggest difference between Covidian Cult members like O’Grady&co and the Nazis is that the Nazis at least loved and valued their own children and would not have endangered or sacrificed them needlessly.
If you let them do this to a child, you’re a criminal.
This is scandalous and nothing to do with public health. Oxford University has received in excess of £97 million from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation over recent years and I’ve no doubt that this is the source of funding for the child vaccine study. As the foundation is also the major investor in the Global Alliance for Vaccination and Immunisation (GAVI) the conflict of interest is blatant.
Committed grants – Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
I made it 148 million in 5/6 yeas last time I looked.
