Some U.K. vaccination clinics have been giving 16 and 17 year-olds a Covid ‘jab’ in recent weeks, provided they were accompanied by a parent or guardian, but it is now understood that children in this age bracket will not require parental consent when the vaccine roll-out is extended in the coming weeks. MailOnline has the story.
The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) recommended the 1.4 million youngsters should be offered Pfizer jabs, marking a dramatic U-turn on guidance the same panel issued two weeks ago.
Health Secretary Sajid Javid said the NHS would dish out invites “as soon as possible”, with the goal of getting the oldest teenagers protected before they return to classrooms in September.
Professor Jonathan Van-Tam, England’s Deputy Chief Medical Officer, said there was “no time to waste”.
He also laid the groundwork for ministers to expand the inoculation drive to all over-12s in the near future, saying that the JCVI would “continually review” the evidence. …
Pfizer’s vaccine has been linked to a rare side effect called myocarditis – inflammation of the heart muscle. Data from the U.S., which has been giving the jab to children for months, shows the complication affects one in 100,000 teenage boys after the first dose, but this rises to about one in 15,000 after the second dose.
Officials close to the programme said a child would be able to give consent for the jab if they were able to understand the risks and benefits of any medical treatment. …
Boris Johnson today called on families to listen to the advice from No 10’s top scientists, saying that the committee was “among the best in the world” and that the country should “take our lead from them”.
Professor Van-Tam… told a Downing Street press conference today that the first inoculations for 16 and 17 year-olds would be given “in a very short number of weeks”.
He said: “Children are going to start going back to colleges and sixths forms from September, and in Scotland that will be slightly earlier, so there is no time to waste in getting on with this.” …
More than eight in 10 Britons… support the move, polling suggests, including more than 50% of people who strongly support offering jabs to the younger age groups.
Worth reading in full.
Stop Press: According to the ONS, nearly 80% of 16-24 year-olds have Covid antibodies. Why, then, do 16 and 17 year-olds need to be double jabbed? MailOnline has more.

Profanity and abuse will be removed and may lead to a permanent ban.
Dr Vernon Coleman has said that it took 3 years before they admitted to the damaging effects of thalidomide. Looking further back’ it’s intersting how up intil the late 19th century the medical profession pushed the taking of mercury as a cure-all. That’s where the phrase ‘mad as a hatter’ came from – hatters used mercury in the production of felt. Don’t trust medical ‘experts’ is my conclusion from both the past and the present-day shenanigans.
So Johnson and his criminal cronies now propose facilitating child abuse. We all know what happens to nonces when they get imprisoned.
For a case fatality rate of .03% in under 50’s, minimal safety and efficacy data, no long term data. What kind of a medical authority would ever authorise this? Not one I would trust or take advice from.
I’d like to report some good news from here in Lockdownunder.
The New South Wales government, they of the punched horse and police drones, decided to hike vaccines intended for the regional areas and give them instead to city schoolkids.
That upset people in the regions, and then a large number of the schoolies said ‘Err, thanks but I’d rather not.’
It takes a special skill to shoot oneself in both feet at the same time.
Where’s the outrage in Big Media and their hypnotised followers? Adolescents with naturally strong immune systems and next to zero fatality risk from Covid 19, or whatever is floating around, being pushed into taking experimental gene manipulation injections. No scientific basis at all for this. God knows what will happen to their health in the future from this.
“Officials close to the programme said a child would be able to give consent for the jab if they were able to understand the risks and benefits of any medical treatment. …”
Maybe we should find one of these children and put them on the national broadcast services to explain the risks and benefits to everyone, because none of the government’s so-called experts are doing so.
People who had already had COVID were excluded from all phases of the Pfizer trials https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04368728, so the proposal is in effect to offer an UNTESTED vaccine to the majority of 16-17 year olds who have antibodies. Giving a treatment to the general public without careful followup is not testing; that’s how they used to do things in the 1950s and it led to the thalidomide disaster, which took several years to emerge.
I had 2 jabs. BUT I CHOSE TO!
It boils my piss (sorry to be crude) about the coersion and lies being used by my Gov to impose this on anyone. Never mind the complete abandonment of any sign of our usual standard of the medical ethics our country is usually admired for.
How have my fellow country men and women allowed this to happen?
I truly feel like I’m living on an alien world with no transport back to Earth available.
“I truly feel like I’m living on an alien world with no transport back to Earth available”
I like that, a lot – sums it up perfectly.
Dear JCVI members
We understand you don’t need to explain and show your workings for your dramatic U-turn. Why would you? You are men and women of exemplary moral character. That is clear.
Don’t feel obliged or badgered to do so – it’s not really our business. (We have a strong sense that it’s yours). And truth be told – we trust you. Do as you will! (Didn’t Crowley say that?).
Jab babies, don’t jab babies, jab pregnant women, don’t jab pregnant women, mix and match the vaccines, give them one day apart, ten years apart, approve and add a new magic ingredient and disclose what it is or don’t disclose. We trust you. You’ve got us. We know that.
A bit like having a hunch on a Grand National runner – you don’t have to say why you stuck a tenner on it – it merely seemed like a good idea at the time. Win or lose we know you’ve got our backs. Your nature shines through you (Didn’t Macbeth say that?)
And as that great standard by Billie Holiday has it: Don’t Explain. You don’t have to. We’re post rationality and reason now and thank Thoth for… Read more »

Boris Johnson today called on families to listen to the advice from No 10’s top scientists, saying that the committee was “among the best in the world”
Best in the world at what? Scaremongering? Hiding behind the sofa? Taking funding from Big Pharma? Taking money from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation?
Top Scientists??? Haha SAGE hasn’t got ANY…..ALL useless, corrupt low grade Statisticians (Epidemiologists) and pathetic overpaid behavourial quacks!!! No worthwhile expertise exists
Boris Johnson has blood on his hands as have most of SAGE and over half the cabinet. These people are dangerous.
All part of the communist plan: Get the children onboard and break down the family structure.
16 year olds can vote here in Scotland, can make all these big big life long decisions…..but can’t buy fags or beer. Hmmmmm
Just another subversion tactic, get them while they are young and you have them for decades to come.
Was it Lenin that said that?
Jesuits said that.
This is never going to end until we learn to FIGHT BACK BETTER. New resources website updated regularly with useful information and links: https://www.LCAHub.org/
The propaganda is now out of control. I doubt 16 and 17 yr olds who think for themselves will get this jab. Those unfortunately who are glued to their social media will follow the crowd. The education system in this country having done its job in breaking down family and community.
What more is there to say?
And not one of them will have heard of a Chinese company called Sinopeg and the inclusion of a ‘commercially sensitive’ undisclosed ingredient in the mRNA gene therapy products, so they won’t have queried why it is there and what it does.

“Stop Press: According to the ONS, nearly 80% of 16-24 year-olds have Covid antibodies. Why, then, do 16 and 17 year-olds need to be double jabbed?”
Asking the obvious, again.
I think this website enabled comments just so that we could answer those questions and spare them the stigma. Get off the fucking fence already.
Because the authorities are natural immunity deniers!! Only vaccine makes clean, having an infection and developing immunity from that seems to be so old science these days!
“Why, then, do 16 and 17 year-olds need to be double jabbed?”
Well Michael, the reason is because the vaccines are not about stopping the virus….
Follow the logic trail and you will get to universal digital id systems.
CONTROL.
Come on guys you keep rounding the edge of the rabbit hole refusing to go down it.

Just say No! campaign needed for those thinking about experimenting with drugs.
A new first for making Informed consent even more meaningless.
Still, we could look on it as 2 birds with one stone: an intelligence test plus a eugenics experiment. Now, what was that song that keeps going round in my brain: oh yes – ‘Always Look on the Bright Side of Life, Ta da’!
Eugenics is the marxist states picking economic winners applied to genetics (Fabian society etc were bigly into it before they decided dysgenics was the way to meddle instead).
This would be natural selection to an un-natural pressure.
Looking for the silver lining on a nuclear mushroom cloud has brought out my pedanticity.

CALL TO ACTION
“If you, like us, are perplexed by the JCVI’s u-turn on vaccinations for 16/17 year olds and would like to see the evidence on which that decision was based, there’s a template letter to Ministers you can copy and use here.”
https://t.co/mJq5iu3cbr?amp=1
Yes I expect Kier Starmer to be all over this u-turn and the MSM asking tricky questions…
Ministers just send you back a photocopy of a standard letter – if they can be bothered to do even that.
They’re just Boris’s henchmen now. All getting backhanders.
Just in case anyone believed the “totally independant” spin earlier
JCVI Professor Wei Shen Lim
https://www.brit-thoracic.org.uk/about-us/committees-and-advisory-groups/clinical-audit-leads/35589
Disgusting
This is the stuff that needs to be shouted from the rooftops. Many if not all JCVI members work for or are funded by or are hypnotised and controlled by big pharma and the ugly technocratic agenda. Can we not wake up from this hideous entryist nightmare and not jog along believing these individuals have any interest in the welfare of this (or any other) country.
This is business and politics to these people, not science. The politicians have sold us out to these sociopathic boffins.
I would suggest very strongly that Professor Wei Shen Lim has as much interest in the wellbeing and health of the people of the UK as my Aunt Fanny.
Unless of course it’s the Berkshire Shen Lims, who have been irreproachable in their unstinting service to the nation over many centuries.
It seems the usual obsession with “child protection” and “safeguarding” can be conveniently cast aside when the state wants to abuse our children.
“Quite how the MHRA deemed the Pfizer mRNA jab to be safe for use in children, however, is anyone’s guess when you consider 86% of children who took part in the short two month trial suffered an adverse reaction to the Pfizer jab ranging from mild to extremely serious.
Perhaps money talks? Especially when it comes from a certain Mr Bill Gates who’s organisation is the primary funder of the MHRA to the tune of $3 million. The same money also helped to ensure the United States FDA gave emergency use approval for the Pfizer jab to be given to children aged 12 – 15 and unfortunately we’re now starting to see the grave consequences of this decision.
Consequences that are both tragic, and completely unnecessary. These new “vaccines” are still in trials until 2023 at the earliest, this means they are experimental. This is precisely why they have only been given emergency use approval. There is no emergency when it comes to children and the alleged Covid-19 disease, not a single child has died of Covid-19, and they do not suffer serious disease either.
UK authorities have clearly not learnt from the United States mistakes which have led to the deaths of numerous children?

If more than eight in 10 Brits really do support this program they have abandoned their brains and their moral compass. I cannot believe four fifths of British humanity are so stupid and self centred.
It’s a lie, every number they produce is a lie
And if they refuse, what next? Apartheid in schools? Separate rooms? No education for unvaccinated children? The vaccinated kids will have to keep jumping through booster hoops forever? Masks will come back? Where does it end?
It doesn’t.
