Psychopathic liar Chris Whitty warns almost ALL unvaccinated youngsters will get infected with Covid and denies move to offer children jabs was political. You LIAR

England’s chief medical officer today warned that almost all unvaccinated children will become infected with Covid at some point in the future.

Professor Chris Whitty told MPs around half of youngsters have already caught the virus.

He said the others would get it ‘sooner or later’, insisting that vaccines will cut that risk.

Being grilled by politicians about his decision to recommend all over-12s are given Covid jabs, Professor Whitty insisted the move was made purely due to the benefits children would get.

He denied the advice — which overruled guidance from No10’s top vaccine advisory panel which recommended youngsters weren’t jabbed — was political.

Professor Whitty said: ‘The great majority of children who have not currently had Covid are going to get it at some point.

‘It won’t be necessary in the next two or three months but they will get it sooner or later because this is incredibly infectious. Vaccination will reduce that risk.’

It comes after Tory MPs yesterday slammed the Government for ‘undermining’ the Joint Committee for Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) — the independent body advising the Government on vaccine policy — by pushing through jabs for children.

They argued bringing in the measure now was ‘peverse’ because Britain is ‘through the worst of the pandemic’.

But speaking at an education select committee today, Professor Whitty said vaccines in 12- to 15-year-olds will be vital in stemming the current surge in cases in the age group after their return to schools.
