Statement
The Covid vaccines have been given temporary emergency authorisation by authorities including the UK Medicines and Health Regulatory Agency (MHRA). But the pandemic is not an emergency for children.
There are serious Covid vaccine adverse effects in children in the US, Israel and Europe. The manufacturers have been granted protection from liability for harm. Medical insurance does not cover for Covid vaccine injury. It is far from clear that a decision to give children a Covid vaccine is an ethical one.
There have been a number of examples where media has given misleading information to the public and to children. After complaints, details have been corrected. But people often believe what they hear first. Programmes and news have already aired. Many will have absorbed the content.
