Doctors across the United Kingdom have signed an open letter to the chief executive of the MHRA highlighting their grave concerns regarding any proposal to administer the Covid-19 vaccines to children,
The open letter’s lead signatory is retired consultant Paediatrician, Dr Ros Jones of the Health Advisory & Recovery Team (HART). HART is a group of doctors, scientists and medical professionals which was formed to research and review Covid-19 policy in the UK in an attempt to best help politicians evaluate the available evidence and respond to the developing situation.
In the letter to the MHRA chief executive Dr June Raine the HART group highlights all the reasons why they have grave concerns regarding the administration of the Covid-19 vaccine to children, and conclude that it is “irresponsible, unethical and indeed, unnecessary, to include children under 18 years in the national COVID-19 vaccine rollout”.
This is the letter in it’s entirety –
‘We wish to notify you of our grave concerns regarding all proposals to administer COVID-19 vaccines to children. Recently leaked Government documents suggested that a COVID-19 vaccine rollout in children over 12 years old is already planned for September 2021, and the possibility of children as young as 5 years old being vaccinated in the summer in a worst-case scenario.
We have been deeply disturbed to hear several Government and SAGE representatives calling in the media for the COVID-19 vaccine rollout to be “turning to children as fast as we can”. Teaching materials circulated to London schools contain emotionally loaded questions and inaccuracies. In addition, there has been disturbing language used by teaching union leaders, implying that coercion of children to accept the COVID-19 vaccines through peer pressure in schools was to be encouraged, despite the fact that coercion to accept a medical treatment is against UK and International Laws and Declarations.
