In case you needed proof that "anti-vaxxer" has become a smear wielded by Zero Covid fanatics, Independent SAGE has now accused the JCVI of being "anti-vaxx" because it raised concerns about vaccinating children.
The vaccine roll-out for healthy 12-15 year-olds is set to begin this week. Here's some advice for parents who are concerned about their children being vaccinated without their consent.
Covid vaccines would not be recommended for healthy children in normal times, says Government advisor Professor Adam Finn – not until the risks were fully understood.
We're publishing an original piece on the Daily Sceptic today by a senior pharmaceutical company executive setting out the ethical case against vaccinating healthy 12-15 year-olds.
by George Santayana The Declaration of Geneva of the World Medical Association binds the physician with the words, “The health of my patient will be my first consideration,” and the International Code of Medical Ethics declares that, “A physician shall act in the patient’s best interest when providing medical care.”From the General Principles in the Declaration of Helsinki. Let me start with a couple of confessions. My first confession is that I work in the pharmaceutical industry and have done so for far more years than I’d like to admit (a Big Pharma Shill as one BTL commentator so kindly put it!). My second confession is that I’m a big fan of vaccination. I believe that clean water, vaccinations, and antibiotics are the three greatest medical innovations and together have probably saved more lives than all other medicines put together. But that said, I’m a supporter of vaccinations in the same way that I’m a proponent of any medical treatment… when it is the right treatment for the right person at the right time. So, with those confessions off my chest, you can see that when I say that I believe that the proposed vaccination of healthy 12-15 year-olds against COVID-19 is morally, clinically and ethically wrong I am doing so from the perspective of a boringly mainstream industrial scientist ...
Marcus Fysh MP says Chris Whitty should resign for approving the vaccination of all healthy teenagers against Covid "without good clinical reason".
The U.K.'s four Chief Medical Officers have advised that healthy teenagers should be given Covid jabs, meaning the Government will push on with its roll-out despite being warned by the JCVI of the risk of side effects.
A backbench rebellion is brewing over plans to vaccine healthy 12-15 year-olds after 26 Tory MPs warned the Government overruling expert advice risks “dissolving the bond of trust” between the public and the Government.
Chris Whitty is expected to say that children aged 12 and over should be vaccinated to benefit their mental health and social development, after spending months supporting policies damaging to both these and much more.
Ministers seem keen to ignore the JCVI's advice and roll-out vaccines to children, but a new study shows that teenage boys are far more likely to suffer heart problems from the vaccine than to be hospitalised from Covid.
