Letter to Liz Truss from the CCVAC

26th September, 2022

The Rt Hon Liz Truss

The Prime Minister
10, Downing Street,
London, SW1A 2AA 

Dear Ms Truss,

Re: Covid-19 Vaccines for Children

Firstly, congratulations on becoming our new Prime Minister.

You will no doubt have many pressing matters as you take up office.  But what can be more important than the health and well-being of the nation’s children? 

We, the undersigned health professionals and scientists, have huge concerns about the safety and necessity of Covid-19 vaccines for children, for reasons detailed in the letters enclosed. Between us, we have written numerous letters to the regulators, copied to your predecessor, regarding use of these mRNA products in children.  We call upon you, urgently, to pause the Covid-19 vaccine rollout for healthy under 18s, while a thorough and independent safety review is undertaken.  We urge you to reconsider their deployment for the following reasons:

  • Covid-19 was always a much milder illness in children, with a risk of death for otherwise healthy children of around 1 in 2 million. Successive variants have become less virulent, reducing the risk still further.
  • In addition, there is considerable evidence of rapidly waning vaccine efficacy, and increasing concerns over immediate vaccines injuries (such as myocarditis with its known potential for severe and possibly permanent cardiac damage). 
  • There is still a total lack of long-term safety data and the worrying rise in excess non-Covid deaths[1] in young males aged 15-19 years has yet to be explained. 
  • Lastly, the vast majority of children have already been exposed to SARS-CoV-2 repeatedly and have achieved demonstrably effective immunity, which is far superior to vaccine-induced immunity.

In short, the balance of benefit and risk, used to support the rollout of mRNA vaccines to the elderly and vulnerable in 2021, is inappropriate and inapplicable for children in 2022. 

Below are links to all the fully referenced letters we have written to the MHRA, the JCVI and the CMOs over the past sixteen months. The detailed questions posed have never been properly addressed by these regulators. You may be aware that members of the Pandemic Response All Party Parliamentary Group also wrote to the JCVI in January 2022, regarding the documented increase in all-cause mortality in 15-19-year-old males, again with no satisfactory reply addressing their concerns.

Groups of health professionals from around the world have similar concerns and indeed some countries have already paused children’s Covid-19 vaccines, particularly for those who have already had SARS-CoV-2 infection.  The Danish Minister of Health recently declared that vaccinating children had been a mistake and has withdrawn it for healthy children. It is gratifying to see that in the UK the vaccine rollout for healthy 5-11s has been discontinued last week, but this leaves 12-17-years-olds still in an unnecessary programme.

The health of the nation’s children is of paramount concern and must surely be a high priority for an incoming Prime Minister. You will no doubt be aware of Sir Christopher Chope’s tireless work on a Covid-19 Vaccine Damage Bill,pushing for proper and fair compensation for thousands of vaccine-damaged adults.  You cannot allow the risk of Covid-19 vaccine injuries in children, who stand to gain zero benefit from vaccination due to the overwhelming majority having already been infected, and who have therefore already acquired natural immunity.

We entreat you to apply the precautionary principle to the use of these products, which still have no long-term safety data and remain in Phase 3 clinical trials. The evidence of damage that this rushed policy is causing for children mounts daily. 

In addition to concerns about the physical risk to children posed by these mRNA products, we would also remind you of the acknowledged and significant psychological and educational damage to children which resulted from the school closures and masking requirements implemented by your predecessor.  We would ask that, as a matter of urgency, you make clear that school closures and masking of schoolchildren will not be repeated under your watch. 

At the beginning of your term as Prime Minister, you have a critical opportunity to prevent avoidable damage to children, and the inevitable outcry and backlash that will follow, by pausing the rollout with immediate effect, as well as bringing to an end all harmful covid restrictions in schools. This is a risk-free action.  Until then, the political and health risks of these damaging policies will only escalate. 

We eagerly await your response. 

Wishing you well in the challenging job you have ahead.

Yours sincerely,

Dr Rosamond Jones, MBBS, MD, FRCPCH, retired consultant paediatrician,

PM

Letter to incoming PM: apply the precautionary principle

An influential group of 100 UK scientists and doctors have come together to write a letter for the incoming UK prime minister, urging an urgent pause to “the Covid-19 vaccine rollout for healthy children, while a thorough and independent safety review is undertaken.”

The letter, which was written by the Children’s Covid Vaccine Advisory Council, tells the new prime minister, “You have an opportunity to get ahead of the inevitable backlash by pausing the roll-out with immediate effect. This would be a risk-free action. Until then, the political risk and health risk of this policy will only escalate.”

Read the letter to the new Prime Minister.

The letter provides links to the many letters sent to the various UK officials since the start of the programme, detailing the data, facts and arguments for applying the precautionary principle. Astoundingly, none of these letters have received a meaningful response. Similarly, members of the Pandemic Response All Party Parliamentary Group have received no formal response from the government to their formal inquiries.

Signatories include Professor David Livermore, who was Public Health England’s Director of Antibiotic Resistance Monitoring for more than two decades, Professor Angus Dalgleish, one of Britain’s most experienced scientists in the field of vaccination and immunotherapy and Professor Anthony J Brookes, Professor of Genomics and Health Data Science at the University of Leicester.

The letter can be co-signed by all healthcare professionals in the UK. To become a co-signatory, click here. (This letter is not intended to be co-signed by the general public.)

In March 2022, more than 800 British healthcare professionals co-signed a letter from the CCVAC, calling for a pause to the roll-out to the Covid vaccine programme for older children.

FDA: do not ignore pathology studies 31.03.22

Thursday, 31 March, 2022

Dear members of the FDA vaccines committee,

RE: Pfizer Covid-19 mRNA vaccine EUA application for children aged 6 months to 4 years, returning to FDA in April

I urge you to please do not ignore the evidence from pathology studies.

Privately initiated by family members, devasted from their loss and seeking to know the truth, pathology studies have demonstrated a connection of the death with the vaccine; here some references from the UK [1,2], Italy [3,4], Germany [5] and USA [6].

I would like to draw your attention to the systematic work of pathologists Prof Burkhardt and Prof Land on tissue samples obtained from 19 autopsies, presented at the second Pathologist Conference in Germany on the 4th of December 2021 [5], which has demonstrated a communality across the pathological findings: vessels infiltrated by T-lymphocytes, brain vessels full of swollen endothelia cells desquamated from the walls, destroyed capillaries in liver and lungs, tissue changes with lymphocytes infiltration and accumulation in previously healthy organs including myocardium and pericardium.

In particular, I would like to bring to your attention the latest findings of Prof Burkhardt work [7], which have been disseminated this month. His immuno-histological investigation has succeeded in detecting the spike protein in the cells of vessel walls of the samples and, furthermore, to confirm its provenance from the vaccine as opposed to SARS-CoV 2 (e.g. excluding its provenance from a breakthrough infection).

This would constitute the first proof of the suspicion that the spike protein, expressed by our own cells under the genetic instructions of the mRNA or viral vector vaccines, is responsible for inducing the inflammation and destruction seen in the blood vessels and organ’s tissues.

These findings would obviously have enormous implications and need to be verified independently. I urge you to promote properly funded post-mortem and histopathological studies in connection with the deaths and damages associated with Covid-19 vaccines, and to incorporate in them the methodology described in [7]. Such studies would provide the ultimate, and much needed, evidence to answer the warring concerns surrounding these vaccines..

Finally, I urge you to reject the Pfizer’s EUA application for children of 6 months to 4 years old, in the light of lack of benefits and of immense risks posed to this age group. Primum non nocere.

CCVAC launches major legal challenge

In an unprecedented move, members of the British medical establishment, convened by the CCVAC, are launching a legal challenge against the UK government’s ‘offer’ of a covid ‘vaccine’ to healthy 5-to-11-year-olds, on behalf of a British mother and her children.

The action is supported by Beverley Turner, a radio and TV personality and leading campaigner for child protection. 

It also employs the same top legal team that is challenging the government on the 12–15-year-old roll-out. (For official reasons, the team is obliged to open a new case for this younger age group.)

The case is being crowd funded and we need your support. Please donate here.

Last chance to get answers

In the absence of an independent critical media or political opposition on this issue, this is the only opportunity there will ever be to force the government to account for its decision. 

Without the funds to bring this case, officials will get off unchallenged and we will have set a dangerous precedent for healthcare policy in this country. 

We have an extremely strong argument, and while this does not necessarily translate into a high probability of winning in court, it is of vital importance that these arguments are made – and the government’s response recorded – to form part of an immutable public record.  

Government climb down

The government has recently begun to climb down on many covid policies as the evidence becomes too obvious to ignore, but it is stubbornly pushing ahead with the least logical, most reckless policy of all – experimental pharmaceutical interventions on our children.

The complete lack of any risk-benefit case for children is set out in a letter that has been sent to the government, with two ‘must-read’ annexes that list the facts and evidence in support.

An insult to free and informed consent

The weakness of the government’s position is signalled by the word ‘offer’ – intended to imply a freedom-of-choice, when parents and children have been denied basic information on the vaccine and its (side-)effects (on the basis they are unqualified to judge the risk). This is not informed-consent, it is a false choice. 

Our legal team will dismantle this grossly irresponsible policy, piece by piece, and show: 

  • There is no benefit to children or anyone else;
  • There is demonstrable risk of life-changing injury;
  • And adverse reactions will be hundreds of thousands;
  • Some adverse will be extremely serious and some deaths are to be expected.

For the jaw-dropping detail, and as an excellent resource for parents to share, read:

Several countries, such as Norway and Sweden, have already refused to give them to children on the basis they provide no benefit. The UK must follow. 

There is an emergency, but it’s not from Omicron. It’s from this negligent policy.

Read the Annexes, see for yourself. Then help us make a difference:

The costs will be in six figures and every donation counts.
