Figures suggest that older teenagers might not be as keen about getting vaccinated against Covid as the Government had hoped, with the percentage of 16-18 year-olds who have been ‘jabbed’ remaining fairly flat in recent weeks. MailOnline has the story.
Only around 55% of 16 and 17 year-olds in England had their first dose by September 26th, latest data shows, a number which had barely risen in the previous three weeks.
Meanwhile, fewer than 10% of 12 to 15 year-olds have come forward for their vaccine. But it only includes one week of data from the point when the majority of teens were eligible.
The analysis was revealed in a weekly report by the new U.K. Health Security Agency, which took over axed Public Health England’s pandemic duties today.
It showed that uptake in the age group was sitting at about 20% at the start of August. This shot up to 50% in the three weeks after the roll-out was expanded to all older teenagers on August 19th. But the progress appears to have stalled in recent weeks, rising just five or so per cent in September.
All age groups have seen a natural stagnation in uptake, with the threshold being much higher in older age groups who are most susceptible to getting severe Covid. For example, the ceiling was about 90% in the over-70s and 80% in people over the age of 50.
Experts said they were not necessarily surprised by the plateau. Cambridge University Epidemiologist Dr. Raghib Ali told MailOnline the enthusiasm for jabs in older teenagers was lower because so many have already had Covid “so don’t feel they need to get vaccinated”.
Chris Whitty, England’s Chief Medical Officer, revealed earlier this month that about half of children had caught the virus at some point already and therefore developed some immunity. Official figures today also suggested one in 20 children were carrying the virus on any given day last week.
“There is no doubt that all vaccines in current use are very good at protecting a vaccinated person from getting infected and getting severe disease but a prior infection does that just as well,” according to Professor Paul Hunter, a medical expert at the University of East Anglia.
He told MailOnline: “So ultimately I am not particularly concerned about the current low uptake of the vaccine in this age group.”

Killing children to protect their “brainwashed” parents and pathetically “terrified” teachers…

Those BUILD BACK BETTER kabal politicos [you know who you are] must be made to pay for this.
Resist, refuse HOLD THE LINE!
They are not killing children to protect anybody. They just like killing children.
Hurray
Half are signed up for potentially life-destroying consequences. No, I can’t be pleased at all: 0.5% and I might have smiled!
I assure you I’m not smiling.
We don’t actually know this and, any case, the numbers are unlikely to represent a high proportion of the population.
I went to a pub in town last night with some mates. Live music, people singing and dancing, shaking hands, making jokes, hugging, lads chatting up the girls and some snogging going on in corners. In the reality-based community absolutely no one is taking any notice of this bollocks, and if we’d been left alone, the same would have been true for the last 18 months.
Very true. And yet it lingers in the background like a dreadful spectre and everyone can feel their lives have changed for the worse.
True, and I would go further: the premeditated acts of people like Shitty, including all those hangers-on, who’d doubtless adopt the concentration camp guard’s defence of only obeying orders, have destroyed, shortened, and terminated lives. A criminal lawyer might surely have something to say about that.
“The country is not in a better place. Just because there may appear to be more “normality”, we are faced with a situation where UK citizens cannot enter or leave their own country without jumping through many, expensive hoops which serve no purpose.
We are faced with almost mandatory vaccinations as well as coercion, plus the near certain introduction of vaccine passports, all of which change our fundamental way we live our lives.
The country is insisting on vaccinating children and day by the day the age at which that becomes acceptable becomes younger.
Waiting lists in hospitals are some of the worse we have seen for many years.
We are still testing people who are not ill but not treating people at GP’s or in hospitals who do have something wrong with them.
The NHS is still crying they are too busy.
The country is heading towards hyperinflation and furlough has just ended which will see the largest amount of unemployed for many years.
I most certainly do not think we are in a better place, practical or otherwise. I actually would say we are in a worse place. The facade may look better but underneath it is far, far worse.”
We are indeed in a very dark place and almost inevitably it will get much darker as “vaccine” damage, winter and new government measures all kick in.
And yet it lingers in the background like a dreadful spectre and everyone can feel their lives have changed for the worse.
Presumably “it” being Johnson’s government.
Reality-based community. I like that. Thank you.
You’re very welcome.
Yep, Mr H went out the other night to see a band with some friends for the first time since this bollox kicked off. He said the venue was packed, the people were all having a great time, man-hugs, handshakes…like it was 2019.
someone shout rewrite Prince’s famous lyrics and change them to “party like it is 2019” instead of 1999
Same here. But that’s of questionable use, because COVID-19 is still – by defintion – the disease that’s terribly dangerous to everyone except the people who have it. That’s why they’re locked into their homes with no medical treatment until they turn into an emergency.
I’m willing to risk a bet that Trisha Greenalgh is sitting in a cupboard with two pairs of underpants and nappies wrapped around her head and shivering with fear because she might encounter one of those dirty people the next time she’s forced to come out of it because she absolutely has to buy a lottery ticket. And Susan Michie will be her mirror image.
For as long as these people wield power, they’ll always seek to prohibit others from doing things they fear will turn out to be indirectly dangerous to them.
For as long as these people wield power, they’ll always seek to prohibit others from doing things they fear will turn out to be indirectly dangerous to them.
And that sums things up all too well. They are now in far too deep ever to voluntarily stop their democidal madness.
The problem is that I fear a lot of the people who’ve embraced normality again could so easily turn on the spot and become lockdownists again if the media tells them to be scared.
I agree that it’s a thin veneer.
Sure, that was the goal, make us believe that we “fought” the pandemic and “won”. When in reality most of us have already lost, just not to the disease.
Alas, I went shopping today, and the number of mask wearers, even outside, has soared…

Oh I know we’re still in a lot of trouble, just observing that a huge number of people are just going about their lives without giving the bullshit a thought.
I found the opposite actually. Very few masks about in our towns marketplace, which was really uplifting.
It was raining very heavily in my area on Saturday and whilst driving along the road I actually saw a guy who was walking along it, wringing water out of a mask he had just removed from his face. I didn’t see if he put it back on again…
As a cyclist, there is EVERY reason to mask up when out on wet roads – pro cyclists who do it for a living are very prone to getting infections in these conditions.Just so you know I am the most fervent anti CV19 mask guerrilla going.
Not where we live, thank goodness, their numbers decline every day. What is depressing is to see how many of the mask-wearers are youngsters.
I’m reminded of when the Amish leader was asked why the COVID variant wasn’t affecting his community, his reply – ‘because we don’t have tv’s’. The whole thing is driven by the idiots on social media, the virtue signallers, the narcissists and the easily led who struggle to think for themselves.
In a parallel universe, Chris Shitty might tell us a) that our children are at vanishingly little risk and b) that prior infections generally confer a rather robust, lasting immune response. Yet here on Earth, he musters only the phrase ‘some immunity’, the duplicitous scumbag. And, omits entirely the ONS data (also on this website) that the death rate for teens has soared in recent months – oddly enough, tracking the release of the injection.
If the government is in need of a little loose change, they should consider a comprehensive sponsorship deal with Dignitas.

Prof. Hunter,
If, by some slim chance you frequent this forum and you read this article and comments – take 7 minutes or so to watch the video linked Below. Having done so, you might want to revise the part of your statement above highlighted in bold!

Then why is natural immunity being taken off as an option for the passport? It’s double jabbed or nothing.
There was no option either on the passenger locator form returning from Italy. So I was supposed to quarantine for the last 10 days, while dble jabbed husband didn’t have to.
I got an antibody test privately which was accepted in Italy but not here.
Its all bollox
UMMM, Uni of East Anglia – epitome of academic rigour and truth in all manner of subjects…..
The new Health Security Agency
Anyone rise find that rather threatening?
Motto: “Wir sorgen fur ihre sicherheit”.
Sure they will
Wir sichern Ihnen Sorgen.
As Google can’t translate that (unsurprising): That’s We’ll ensure you’ll have reasons to worry.
I think it’s actually: “Wir kümmern uns um Ihre Sicherheit bis ins Grab”.
Edit – not that I understand German without DuckDuckGo doing the translation, so I may be wrong…
It is indeed extremely sinister. As though the concepts of ‘health’ and ‘security’ belong together.
The conversion of health from a wholesome individual state of being, to a holy collectivist obligation to the state.
Rishi doesn’t want any nasty plebs gatecrashing his new £400,000 swimming pool.
The name alone sounds very much like what a mad dystopian newspeak dictator would have found appropriate for his personal thugs.
Yes.
No Mr Hunter, a prior infection does that better.
Hunter is a pharma whore, I’ve read a couple of his articles in the Spectator where the commenters rip him a new one every time.
Note the propagandised phrasing “their first dose”, “their vaccine”, as though they have ownership of this process, rather than it being forced on them by browbeating, threats and punishment.
The amazing part though is that #ScumMedia dared to report that actual immunity is as effective as the clot-shots. Even that’s not the truth though: a treatment tailored to the Coofs Classic strain cannot effectively prepare your immune system to fight Delta, Epsilon, Omega, Zeta-Jones or any other variant.
In fact, from what we know of influenza variants and vaccines, mis-matched, and especially repeated mis-matched doses, increase vulnerability to new strains. There’s no reason to think that SARS-COV-2 will be any different, and the rocketing figures for “immunised” people being hospitalised with the coofs seems to bear that out.
Same tactic as with muzzles – round about May last year it went from ‘a mask’ to ‘your mask’ – this subtle use of language has the grubby fingerprints of the nudge unit all over it.
Once you’ve seen it, you’ll see it everywhere! I’ve noticed lots of little changes in wording over the last 18mths. It’s so subtle that even if you try to convince a lurgy devotee they’ll brush it off… which I guess is the point.
Well, let’s face it, no-one has gone round to have a ‘serious talk’ with them, have they?
I received a letter personally signed by the Savage Jabbit one, the other day as apparently I’m “clinically extremely vulnerable” and they wanted to advise me that they are ending the shielding (like I took any notice!) But the six page letter was really one almighty vaccine-plug-to-drive-it-home document! The propaganda and self-congratulations at how marvellous the the vaccine programme has gone, is off the scale. But still there’s no mention at all of informed consent or the Yellow Card Scheme, They actually assume I’ve had my jabs and is sitting and begging for the booster! I won’t bore you will all the lies and duplicity, and the fear-based mind control they are still trying to assert but here is one excerpt:
“Although most people will be well protected by the vaccine no vaccine is 100% effective In particular, people who are immunosuppressed (me) may not respond well to COVID-19 vaccines as others. That is why the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) advised on 1st September that people over the age of 12 who were severely immunosuppressed at or around the time of their first or second dose, should be offered a third dose (???) as part of their primary immunisation course.” WTF?
It goes on…
“All COVID-19 vaccines “should” offer “some” (my quote marks) protection so even if you have a condition or take medication that affects your immune system you should still have the vaccine” NO!!!
And then…
If you can’t have the vaccine for whatever reason, or if you are immunosuppressed you should strongly consider taking the precautions listed at the start of the letter to help keep yourself *and others safe.” Again WTF! So are they saying their vaccines don’t work? The precautions they listed were: insisting anyone I come into contact with should wear a mask, take tests, and stay 6ft or complete away from me….I don’t have anymore words.
Funny as it sounds, they are trying to keep you alive.
They’re trying to recruit her as volunteer for the auxililary ground troups of Mysophobia. As front-line could-be victim they can then hide behind.
Judging by the number of “downticks” I don’t think think many here understand “ironic humour”…
Absolute bollocks as per fucking usual; if that was the case, why the OFFICIAL refusal, by the MHRA – please see UKColumn and elsewhere to read how compromised they are – to sanction, even if under EUA, prophylactic treatments that have been PROVED around the world to be very effective at keeping people out of hospital AND helping to bring those same people back to health.
Well done for reading yours. Mine went straight in the bin after I read the first paragraph recommending me to avoid people who haven’t been vaccinated – a divisive & evil suggestion – completely devoid of any evidence-based medical justification. The lying barsteward.
The comment -‘as part of their primary immunisation course’ strikes fear into me.
I take this as an implication that the intention is to keep offering these jabs indefinitely to the sheeple who fall for this.
I do. Is this JCVI he quotes the same one that advised against “vaccinating” healthy 12-15 year olds? And was this mentioned in any letters etc. given to healthy 12-15 year olds on the matter?
They’re very busy with the Vaxx epistles Downunder, too. I received a letter co-signed by the Australian Prime Minister, the Minister for Health and the Chief Medical Officer which notes that I have been remiss in not yet availing myself of the wonderful opportunity for a Covid vaccination with AstraZeneca for the over 60s (yes, I am an oldish geezer).
I was underwhelmed by it – the tired old emotionally manipulative tone and moral guilt-tripping (get jabbed “to protect yourself, your loved ones and your community”), and the stale medical blackmail (get jabbed so that “we can all move towards our return to normal sooner”). There was also the glib and condescending reference to “expert health advice” regarding the increased risk of severe disease in people over 60 years of age – a sweeping generalisation which does not take account of the advanced age, institutionalisation status, life-shortening comorbidities and obesity prevalence (I tick none of these boxes) that are the major risk factors for the severity of Covid infection outcomes in immuno-compromised individuals of this age group. The silence was deathly in the letter on the risk of harm from the vaccine, of course.
I added the letter to my scrap paper collection but not before writing back to them to tell them that, whilst I am quite a fan of the properly-vetted flu vaccine, the pneumococcal vaccine for oldsters (and the shingles vaccine, which I don’t need because I had contracted shingles a few years ago thus giving me robust immunity), my risk from the Covid ‘vaccine’ is far, far greater than from an almightily overrated seasonal respiratory bug. I politely declined to “arm” myself against this virus
.
As a former federal government public servant who, amongst other duites, handled Ministerial correspondence from the Great Unwashed, I expect the usual formulaic response but I know that at least three or four public servants in Canberra will be involved in processing my missive and that if it leaves just a tiny germ of doubt in any of their brains about the Authorised Version of the Covid bible, then it will not have been entirely in vain.

Yes correspondence is way more powerful than many people think
What dedication to personally sign all those letters, I expect their wrists ached after doing that, if they didn’t already from other activity that is…
It is close enough.It means 22.5% of 16-18 year olds have no immunity, 55% have been jabbed, 45% not jabbed, of those half have had covid19, half of 45% is 22.5%. meaning 55+22.5 % or 77.5% of 16-18 year old have a degree of immunity. The right course of action now is to let nature take its course , and let the remaining 22.5% get the virus and acquire immunity that way.
What are their calculations for proportion with natural immunity based on?
Many had Covid way back early in 2020, and some in late 2019. They didn’t test, and antibodies will have vanished, unless they have recently met a variant.
To find them a very sensitive T cell test would have to be. developed with their magic money. Did I miss this? Or did they strikingly appear to be completely uninterested in finding out the level of natural immunity from day one of the g.o.f. ie man made virus landing in Britain?
Everything they say is utter bollocks.
but, but, but – that;s common sense but as all on here know TPTB don’t have any.
“There is no doubt that all vaccines in current use are very good at protecting a vaccinated person from getting infected and getting severe disease but a prior infection does that just as well,”
There is every doubt.
Deaths per 100,000 vaccinated versus deaths per 100,000 unvaccinated
At around April when >50% population vaccinated.
0.027% vaccinated dead
0.004% unvaccinated dead
Therefore, there is a 675% difference in vaccinated deaths versus unvaccinated deaths when just over 50% of population had received the first dose.
As autumn and winter encroach, we await with trepidation the ONS data for the 2nd half of the year.
Note how keeping all eyes on delta, makes it appear that there is little difference between the vaccinated and unvaccinated groups.
Vaccinated patients are not being routinely tested as are unvaccinated patients. Therefore, with a PCR test of 40 cycles and above yielding a 97% false positive rate, there will be far more unvaccinated in the original samples before determining and comparing cases and deaths amongst the two cohorts.
In all the cherry-picked studies they never disclose the proportions of those vaccinated versus unvaccinated in the original test sample BEFORE obtaining positive or negative results.
Most heinous of all, the official bodies are also counting vaccinated people who get ill within 14 days as unvaccinated. Those vaccinated admitted to hospital within that time frame will be tested and, if positive (very likely at 40+ cycles), will be counted as unvaccinated delta cases/deaths, simultaneously reducing the number of vaccinated delta cases/deaths.
This means there will be far greater numbers of vaccinated people in the intensive care wards who haven’t been tested or have been tested at lower PCR rates. Among these are the ones that die from the “short illness“. But they never show up because all eyes are on delta.
https://bakerstreetrising.home.blog/2021/02/15/covax-through-the-looking-glass-part-4/
We know that “cases” are, in the vast majority, unrelated to those with symptoms but are based on the fraudulent PCR test run at 40 cycles or above, with a 97% false positive rate.
In the UK, we can compare the % increase in testing this year with last year.
10-19 year-olds have been tested 344% more frequently this year than last year. Also note the differences in the numbers tested between those under 60 and those over 60. This should go a long way towards clearing up the fallacy that young people are somehow more susceptible to the delta variant.

The first thought really should be “so what”. This vaccine doesn’t protect the young from serious disease from covid, because they don’t get serious disease from covid, it doesn’t prevent the young from spreading covid, it doesn’t prevent anyone from spreading covid, and most of the young have already had covid and have much better immunity (7 times) than the vaccine can give anyway. This is a waste of good vaccine, which could be given to those who are old enough to benefit from it, and who consent properly to it, in the third world. And it is a pointless, albeit small, risk to the children. Good to see that 45% of kids can hold up their common sense against media and peer pressure. Social media influencers obviously haven’t brainwashed them all as much as we feared.
Personally, I see it as a waste of bad therapeutic, with many potentially devastating consequences.
The ‘downticker’s’ been busy.
Pathetic, isn’t it.
Well, 55% mindless idiots is better than 80-90% for the rest of us! Maybe there’s hope for us, after all?
55% jabbed!!
Well that means to me at any rate that 45% are using their brains and saying NO.
There is hope yet for this generation.
The kids know all about the severe adverse events occurring in their age group, CDC vaers. They also know their risk of dying from the plandemic is negligible. So with that in mind, they are saying no thanks.
