All 16 and 17 Year-Olds to be Offered Jab Next Week

2 min read

All 16 and 17 year-olds will be offered a Covid vaccine in the next week in a bid to boost immunity before the return of schools in September. The Telegraph has more.

The new drive to offer all 16 and 17-year-olds a jab by Monday August 23rd is intended to allow antibodies to build before the start of the autumn term on September 1st.

It comes after experts said the U.K. was “running hot” in terms of living with Covid. The Government said a further 93 people had died within 28 days of testing positive as of Saturday, bringing the U.K. total to 130,894.

NHS bosses said on Saturday night that further walk-in vaccination centres would come on line in the coming days.

“I have asked the NHS in England to ensure they offer a first dose of the vaccine to everyone aged 16 and 17 by next Monday, August 23rd. This will make sure everybody has the opportunity to get vital protection before returning to college or sixth form,” Sajid Javid, the Health Secretary, said.

“Please don’t delay – get your jabs as soon as you can so we can continue to safely live with this virus and enjoy our freedoms by giving yourself, your family and your community the protection they need.”

Worth reading in full.

Hard to see the logic behind this, given that 16 and 17 year-olds aren’t vulnerable to the disease and getting vaccinated will have a negligible effect on how likely they are to catch COVID-19 and pass it on to others. Being vaccinated won’t make them “safe” – they’re already safe – and it won’t make people who are genuinely at risk from COVID-19 any “safer” either.

Everyone should read this transcript of an interview between Professor Christian Perronne and UK Column. It goes in depth into the medical corruption and lies that continue to circulate and keep us in the grip of this insanity. Christian Perronne is France’s top vaccine expert – you will see how many prestigious positions he has held and some he continues to occupy – and is not an antivaxxer in any shape or form. It is highly illuminating. I feel that interviews like this only increase our knowledge, giving us the background to the medical aspect of this ‘crisis’, used by the corrupt, conniving, spineless politicians to introduce the digital ID, the end goal.

At a family party this weekend, my mother in law kept asking my sister in law if my partner’s 16 year old nephew had his call up yet. Quite persistently may I add. My sister in law replied “no”. Nephew walks into the room and grandma starts berating him “are you going to get it then?”. He replied “I’m not so sure” while hanging his head low quite sheepishly. Another sister in law speaks up “it doesn’t stop you from catching it or spreading it”. She was ignored. My mother in law then says in a patronising tone to nephew “but you have to get it, to protect other people!”. At that point I upped and left the room.

Must be a very difficult situation to be in. Part of you probably wants to dish the dirt on the vaccine while part of you wants harmony. It might be worth having a series of verifiable answers for people who refuse to dig any deeper than the mainstream media. Just so you can defend your corner. I sincerely hope your nephew sees sense and doesn’t get it.

Thank you for your kind words and suggestions. I don’t have children of my own so I would never dream of telling other people what to do with theirs. I too hope that he feels free to make that choice.

‘Vital protection before returning to college’ and yet reports that those adults singly vaxxed rather than doubly so are effectively unvaxxed. So which is it?! I guess all the mixed messages are just a part and parcel of the psy-op. Let’s hope there are some savvy 16 and 17 year olds out there. I did see reports that one third of the under 30’s are not vaxxed. So as I suspected the 90% vaxxed oft touted is misleading.

My god, my blood boils at this. This is, and I don’t say the words lightly, pure evil at work. The government and their lackey health advisers (or the other way round) know that 16/17 year olds are not at serious risk. Dammit, they know that the vaccines do not work either! Any parent who subjects their child to this vaccination regime is abandoning all reason and giving in to the lies and coercion. It is lambs to the slaughter. No push back, no debate, no ‘hang on a minute, while we find out if it’s really safe’, nothing. It is criminal and those pushing it know it is criminal. These are our children for god’s sake!

Unbelievable that parents don’t check out the grim reality behind the very dangerous mRNA technology. How a young person’s wonderful immune system, the product of millennia of evolution, is distorted and enfeebled by injecting of a RNA programme and toxic agents like graphene oxide.

Latest independent data indicates the first shot can ‘freeze’ about a third of a person’s T cells, which deal with infections. Come the flu season it’s trouble time.The production of spike proteins and dementia linked prions are well documented beyond the lying garbage put our by controlled MSM and censoring Big Tech. Just a little effort is surely not too much to expect of parents before their teenage offspring roll their sleeves up. Trust Johnson, bag carrier to Bill Gates? I think not.

Despite warnings from hundreds of medics and scientists, kids are receiving the experimental biologicals. Concerns ranging from acute myocarditis and death, to sterility, blood clots, and god knows what else long range. No long term safety data. Who would agree to give their child something like this? I cannot imagine.

The logic behind this?
This is a criminal act. It’s coercion of the young into a dangerous act. A criminal act by government, politicians, school and university leaders. It’s criminal plain and simple.
Coercion of an experimental drug one side effect of which is death. The natural immunity these young people possess will not kill them, will not scar their hearts, will not cause fertility issues down the line.
Fertility issues? I hear you say ‘You don’t know that!’. No, nor do they.

‘Hard to see the logic behind this?’ These statements are now hard to stomach.

There is no pandemic, it’s endemic. The scariant is now pretty much the common cold. There are effective cheap treatments.

There is no logic, there never has been since the Government wet its knickers back in March 2020 (Take a bow Prof Ferguson and co). When you have a picture of the Prime Minister’s current bed companion on the front page of the Sunday Telegraph telling expectant mothers to be jabbed – “I’ve had mine and I’m fine” – then you know it’s just PR bollox

Judging from the data from Israel and many other countries it would seem to be making everyone less safe as there appears to be no effect on transmission and certainly looks like harm to the recipients own immune system which in the case of 16 years olds is perfectly capable of dealing with this, after the jab it seems to be compromised.

It’s as though the entire world has completely lost its marbles. Which part of “The vaccines do not stop you getting Covid” do these fools not understand? There is no logic whatsoever in jabbing at least 90% of the population. It’s collective insanity and heaven knows where this is all going to lead, literally nobody on Earth knows.

Because it’s not about logic, it’s about money, and extremely dodgy contracts with the pharmaceutical companies.

Mamaged to get a call in on the new programme with Richard Tice on Talk radio this morning. I commented on the virologist he had on from Leeds university saying we needed more honesty from the government after he stated “we’re not vaccinating children” and then went onto urge all 16-17 year olds to get the jab. I pointed out that in the UK you’re classed as a child until you attain 18 years of age. I went on to comment that they should ask all ‘experts’ to declare where their funding comes from as many are funded by certain foundations…. At which point they cut me off.

Talk Radio is one of the more illuminated media outlets in permitting criticamos of non Government/SAGE/SPR-B rhetoric. The fundamental problem is the self appointed experts who peddle “no one is safe until everyone is safe” for an RNA virus which is known to mutate because that’s what a RNA virus does!
At least Lord of the Rings leaving New Zealand has demonstrated that Jacinda Arden and her Zero Covid is harmful will begin to stoke insurrection.

If the drug manufacturers were so sure of the safety of these products they would have accepted liability for deaths and injuries as they do with other medicines they develop, and yet on these they have not, the liability is with the tax payer who is being coerced into taking it.

I wonder what excuses and cover ups will be made when the first young people start to develop side effects, or when come winter their immune systems are compromised by what the Government has put into their bodies.

My guess is the Javids and Johnsons of this world will blame the non vaccinated.

Straight from the horses arse (AKA our not esteemed Health Secretary)

‘Please don’t delay – get your jabs as soon as you can so we can continue to safely live with this virus and enjoy our freedoms by giving yourself, your family and your community the protection they need.”

Yeah right! This age group doesn’t really need the ‘vaccine’ nor does having the ‘vaccine’ stop infection or transmission.

Note the not so subtle inverse dig at the non vaccinated for allegedly not protecting others.

Just been reading a Twitter thread from Kulvinder Kaur noting that the Ontario health authority and govt are quoting stats implying that most of Covid cases, hospitalisations,ICU pts and deaths are among the unvaccinated. Trouble is, they classify those <13 days post jab 1 as unvaccinated, tarring the genuinely unjabbed with the same mucky brush as the newly-immunocompromised early vaxxed.
Don't know if they do it that way here but watch out for the frigged figures if/when the youngsters start getting ill.
Also, it will make them paranoid; I've noticed recently that it is double-jabbed people who cling to their masks with grim determination.

There isn’t any in terms of the virus. But there is in terms of a social credit system, which is what this is really all about.

The Government appears to support killing and permanently disabling a small number of youngsters in order to achieve its aim.

They know what they’re doing but their opinions of it are different. All of this suddenly starts to make sense with two small, added assumptions:

  1. Our cherished political leaders, selected by a combination of being a successful party apparatchic and having some crowd-pleasing skills are – by and large – not the sharpest knives in the drawer.
  2. The people advising them are part self-serving but – more importantly – they’re also insane.

The latter is nicely shown by the fact that they keep demanding things which cannot be done in order to achieve ends which don’t matter based on predictions, ie, beliefs about the future, which almost always turn out to be untrue. No sane person would be doing this.

Giving experimental drugs to children, pregnant women and young people in general is absolutely fscking evil. From the serious illness/mortality profile of early 2020, before the ADE indiced by these drugs, we know they are largely immune to the disease. All they are getting from this is the side effects.
