School pupils vaccinated from September

This is in lots of papers today. Such as:

And:

What’s your reaction?

Mine is that I 100% won’t be allowing my children to be vaccinated.

In the whole pandemic so far, 12 children under 15 have died in the U.K. That increases to 32 in the under 20s. The mortality rate is vanishingly tiny. A huge percentage of kids don’t even get symptoms at all.

The government has assured us till they are blue in the face that schools are safe and that children don’t spread it so it will be interesting to see what kind of enormous gaslighting they attempt to pull off to persuade parents they now need to vaccinate their kids.

The long term effects of the vaccines are totally unknown and recent events with AZ have proved rather horribly that even after a vaccine is rolled out, serious effects can come to light. Including events that disproportionately affect certain age groups.

I’m fully vaccinated (including first Covid vaccine) as are my kids but there is no way I’d let them be vaccinated in September. With any of the vaccines.

A secondary school near me has closed because of an outbreak with only exams years allowed on the premises when they are taking their exams.

Secondary age kids need to be vaccinated so they can actually go to school with the constant threat of isolation. They need their education to be stable

This won’t happen anyway. I’ve had both vaccines, still constantly being reminded I could still catch it, still having to test and isolate, still have to wear a mask and distance. Most annoyingly, still not allowed in my elderly relatives nursing home to visit, despite them having had both vaccines too. I’m starting to wish I hadn’t bothered.

I just think that it is morally wrong for the UK to be considering giving out covid vaccines to 12 year plus children who are at an incredibly low risk when these vaccines could be donated to countries with low vaccination rates and where there are unvaccinated people of an age or health with a much higher risk.

It is after all a global pandemic
