Is Boris trying for Herd Immunity in Children?

Is the government trying for herd immunity with our children?

No mitigations despite increasing cases & more transmissible variant.

No data has been released for schools and the new variant, despite calls from all the unions.

He’s never let go of herd immunity and doesn’t seem at all concerned about the risks of long covid in kids or the fact that some do get ill and that they can spread it to their families.

Yes, and there is no doubt at all since he sent them back to school for one stupod day after Christmas, in the middle of a mahoosive wave. And they have not approved the vaccine for children yet. I cannot comprehend it. But they have worked hard to sell that it does not affect children at the beginning. And there are so many people that take that as the ultimate total absolute truth, forever, whichever variant, that I cannot my hesd around how they think! It is clear to me that the vaccines are really good at protecting, and that is the reason behind the delta variant affecting younger people. We should ALL have the vaccines now, begore the virus mutates any further.

It is hard to differentiate between incompetence and bad planning really. I thought Jan 4th was incompetence.

However, hiding schools data is concerning.

@herecomesthsun seems like a classic attempt at seeding a bit more of the virus I think, if you are going to have to shut down may as well gain as much herd immunity as possible (if you're completely heartless).

To those against zero covid because it will damage our economy... those adopting maximum suppression are doing WAY better than us! It doesn't mean they'll be no cases but it means you can properly respond to the cases you get. It means less risk for everyone and its what we NEED to do while the world gets vaccinated!

With Long Covid risks, a dangerous gamble too. It's a new (possibly genetically modified disease escaped from a lab). We're still only at the beginning. In terms of understand potential long term damage.

He has shown time and time again that he doesn't give a shit about children.

Gavin Williamson doesn't know what he's doing either.

It's chilling. My kids caught Covid at school last year. It was just allowed to rip through, still is.
