“Covid: Misleading vaccine claims target children and parents”

I thought this article was relevant given the discussions re kids and vaccines over the last couple of weeks. It’s also quite interesting for the BBC of all places to be picking up on the HART group disinformation machine.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-58783711.amp

Teenage boys' very slightly but genuinely elevated risk of developing a condition called myocarditis - inflammation of the heart - after vaccination has been highlighted by campaigners opposed to Covid jabs.
They emphasise these rare negative events from the vaccine while downplaying the risks to children of catching the virus - including "long Covid".
Most cases of myocarditis after vaccination were resolved quickly following treatment.

Myocarditis is actually more common after catching Covid than after the vaccine.

Members of these organisations also have links to Us for Them, which says it represent parents, and the campaign group Safer to Wait.
Its founder can be seen in the leaked Hart members chat, asking the group to distribute a Safer to Wait leaflet with misleading claims about the vaccine to primary-school parents.
