Councils in variant “hotspots” have begun vaccinating children against Covid ahead of an official decision on the matter from the Government, with one inviting thousands of 16 and 17 year-olds to “drop into one of our vaccine clinics” without the need of an appointment. It is not clear whether these clinics only vaccinate children whose parents have given their consent. The Telegraph has the story.
On Friday, Rochdale Borough Council invited “anyone aged 16 and over” to have a first dose of the Pfizer jab without the need for an appointment. Another drive-through clinic for teenagers is due to take place in the town on Saturday.
On Friday night, a spokesman for the council and local NHS clinical commissioning group said a “multi-agency decision” had been taken to expand the criteria to 16 and 17 year-olds because Rochdale was “again in a desperate race to stay ahead of the virus”.
The spokesman said: “Our borough is one of the areas of the country worst affected by coronavirus and our infection rate is now approaching that seen in Bolton a few weeks ago. Among our younger age groups, the rate is almost 1,000 cases per 100,000 people.
“Many 16 and 17 year-olds with underlying health conditions have already been vaccinated but many other younger adults who are at risk for different reasons are falling outside national protocols.
“On that basis, and to avoid any vaccine wastage, a multi-agency decision was taken with clinical leads to temporarily expand the qualifying criteria for at-risk 16 and 17-year-olds for our clinics this weekend, but following discussions we have now revised our plans.”
GPs in west London and other parts of the country have also given the vaccine to healthy under-18s in recent weeks, it is understood.
A senior NHS source said on Friday that action would be taken against GPs and local authorities who “go rogue” by ignoring national guidelines. …
Yet in a leaflet seen by the Telegraph, Rochdale Borough Council invited thousands of under-18s to come forward for their first Pfizer jab. It said: “If you’re aged 16 or over and have not got an existing appointment, please drop into one of the extra vaccine clinics.”
In an accompanying video posted online, Dr Mo Jiva, the Chief Executive Officer of the Rochdale and Bury Local Medical Committee, invited anyone aged 16 or above to “come down and receive their first or second vaccine” at a drive-through clinic in a gym car park. “We hope to see you tomorrow,” Dr Jiva said. …
A source at Rochdale Borough Council said the move to vaccinate under-18s was a “clinical decision”.

My contention throughout has been that the first lockdown was responsible for the second wave simply by delaying reaching the herd immunity level.
What ‘second wave’? What I see is a fairly normal seasonal rise, probably enhanced at its peak by further dry tinder deaths caused by the vaccine.
And how many deaths were caused by the lockdowns themselves?
The major were caused by the correct medical care not being available, either through ignorance, political evil or bedwetting.
The CQC has asked to investigate the number of involuntary DNRs signed on behalf of the disabled in OURNHS.

Other factors to consider are that we know that lockdowns, not the virus, added to mortality in several ways. It is well-documented that there were more deaths due to untreated cardiac disease and cancers. If you add these back into the data, I suspect that age-adjusted mortality would not have been very different from the last few years.
Hole digging exercise for the world
This makes perfect sense to me – its the vaccinated who are creating the variants!!

The variants of concern are almost certainly vaccine driven variants.
It’s a bit long and technical but there’s a fantastic presentation by Paul Bieniasz (pronounced Bin-osh) which uses in vitro experiments to infect spike protein antibody cells with SARS-CoV-2, The evolutionary cycle is effectively speeded up.
Eventually, a cluster of cells became infected. The infected cells included common mutations, e.g. E484K.
The E484K mutation is present in the UK, South African and Brazilian variants. .
It will be a never ending merry-go-round of jabbing. However its even more important for non vaxxers, myself included to keep our bodies healthy and our vitamin intake to a maximum, particularly in the coming autumn and winter months. I pray this government and its psychopathic advisers will feature in the Nuremburg II trials very soon.
Those variants are completely within the T-cell repertoire of every person immune through infection or vaccination.

There was a very objective and fair article mentioning this and other advantages of the Swedish approach in the German MSM (RND is a left German feeder service then used by many large newspapers) yesterday.
First time ever, maybe the blame game and CYA is about to start there too.
I will be dead and gone
However I suspect my grandchildren in their dotage will give talks to schoolchildren about the British Holocaust
They will tell how scientists and doctors were central to the poisoning of millions
The children will gasp as they hear that anyone could be arrested for sitting on a park bench
My grandchildren will tell how they saw men, women and children beaten to death in the streets for refusing the poison
There will be exhibits, the propaganda posters, camouflage cool bags, fake vaccine passports etc
The schoolchildren will agree this must never happen again, however a new Pig Dictator will emerge in due course
“British Holocaust”
Cecil – hyperbole doesn’t really help. Hard, cold facts are enough.
“when you calculate mortality the correct way – as the age-standardised mortality rate”
The ‘age standardized mortality rate’ is not the ‘correct’ method of calculation. It is one way of looking at mortality. It is useful for some purposes. It does, for instance, give some indication of the ‘dry tinder’ effect in a year like 2020. The problem is that its general use introduces theoretical assumptions about the age profile in a population’s mortality figures. It conflates basic description with projection.
Think about it.
Simple size adjustment is clearer in that it avoids such theoretical modelling.
Similarly, we have our old friend ‘excess mortality’ : another shaky notion that pretends to authority – but is actually a flexible variable arrived at by chance and habit
In the end, the underpinning of ‘exceptional’ mortality in 2020 is a fiction that has been known as such for over a year, and can be seen in simple population adjusted figures.
For purposes of comparison, ASMR is the most reliable way to calculate mortality. It adjusts for the age profile of a country so comparisons can be made with previous years and/or with other countries.
I’ve already answered that notion. You’re just asserting the convention.
It is useful to note that the popularity of age-correction suddenly emerged when the Covid zealots thought it might work in their favour. I remember it being used to suggest that this was, indeed a 100 year event – the worst since the Spanish Flu. Previously, they were happy to quote raw numbers.
Thus my favouring, on balance, simple transparency.
P.S. A useful article, taking apart the ‘excess mortality’ stuff is found in today’s Round Up :

Can anyone point me please to the source for age-adjusted Swedish mortality data from 2015 to 2020?
Thanks in advance.
“well-executed focussed protection strategy.” Exactly how?
A clear statement of the facts. Thank you!
We are living way beyond facts now, however. Listening to any minister, like Jenrick for instance, or Zahawi or Shapps, let alone Gove and Johnson, is proof of that they have eaten of the insane root.
I begin to suspect that some of them actually believe what they are saying.
…move along, nothing to see here…LOOK, A WEDDING!!
