UK approves Pfizer jab for 12 to 15-year-olds by Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency

[2greys]

The UK's medicines regulator has approved the Pfizer/BioNTech coronavirus vaccine for 12 to 15-year-olds.

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) said the decision followed a "rigorous review" of safety and effectiveness in that age group - and that the benefits of having the COVID jab outweighed the risks.

Dr June Raine, MHRA chief executive, said: "We have in place a comprehensive safety surveillance strategy for monitoring the safety of all UK-approved COVID-19 vaccines and this surveillance will include the 12- to 15-year age group."

This is madness, Overall Covid-19 IFR is 0.15%. The survival rate for children 0-19 years is 99.997%. How can injecting our children with an experimental vaccine be justified by "the benefits outweigh the risks"? hartgroup.org/open-letter-c...

Simple, although they do not get seriously sick themselves they still get infected and then carry it home to their parents and grandparents who are invariably child minders.

[kiwinz in reply to 2greys]

Well that settles that then. Here I was thinking it's more likely a decision driven by greed, stupidity and fear.

Hard for you to understand perhaps, where 20% of our country's population are,sadly, anti-vaxxers, locally known as 'Polio Fanciers'. The cause of four epidemics of measles in a decade. Yes, I said "our country's", not a typo. I just happen to be a Kiwi as well and 'in tune' with events. I hope that the Canterbury flooding is not affecting you.

[kiwinz in reply to 2greys]

We, of course, also have anti-vaxxers although I don't know what percentage of the population fall into that category. We also appear to have a growing number of pro-vaxxers who have legitimate concerns about the Pfizer mRNA experimental gene therapy. I am one of them hence my horror at the decision to 'vaccinate' children which, in my view, is not justified.

I think that if you experience the horror of catching it and then spending months in recovery from it you might change your mind. I hope you never find out. What do you call experimental? The Pfizer-BioNtech vaccine has, including those taking part in the trials, been in use for a year now.

Please do not think I am downplaying, dismissing or belittling your personal battle with Covid-19 or that of millions of others who have suffered and died. And full kudos to you for the measures you took to self-heal. For my part, I like to think that should I succumb to Covid-19 I would still have the fortitude and gumption to not want my grandchildren to receive the ‘jab’. As far as I am aware the Pfizer trial doesn’t finish until April 2023, there is currently no medium nor long term safety data available and there is nothing I have seen to support a risk benefit ratio for children. Meanwhile, concerns over mRNA ‘vaccine’ safety continue to mount. The most recent is the emerging evidence the vaccine and pathogenic spike proteins do not stay in the shoulder muscle as claimed but instead are getting into the blood stream and from there causing havoc throughout the body. But most concerning is the rampant and bizarre censorship of all things Covid that are not ‘approved’ by Silicon Valley, the WHO and governments. It doesn’t matter if you are a pro-vaccination Nobel prize winning scientist at the top of your field or a pro-vaccination clinician on the frontline healing Covid patients - you will be censored, ridiculed, and, God help us, ‘fact checked’, if you question the main stream narrative. We now have peer reviewed observational studies of therapeutics that successfully treat Covid-19 and we have protocols that both treat and prevent the disease. In the interest of ‘informed consent’ I encourage everyone to do their own research and to look beyond the ‘fact checkers’. I hope I’ve answered your questions, 2 greys. I have little doubt you will disagree with most of this so I’ll leave you with the last word and wish you all the best.
