Live stream – The Children’s Covid Vaccine Advisory Group press conference

Session begins at 4pm, Thursday 24th February 2022.

In an unprecedented protest against medical policy, more than 650 British health professionals have co-signed a letter calling for a pause and investigation into the children’s covid vaccine.

The Children’s Union joined forces with the CCVAG just eight days ago to help encourage co-signatories, resulting in the largest and fastest co-ordinated protest by the British medical establishment and frontline workers to healthcare policy in modern times. Here is a copy of the letter in full, and the signatories beneath.

Members of the CCVAG will hold a press conference to present balanced data insights and analysis that will help parents make a truly informed choice.

It will be live streamed below at 4pm on Thursday 23rd Feb.

We will publish a recording of the press conference shortly.

pathologizing childhood

Let hope win

Nothing is more precious to me than my children. So why am I am not doing everything I can to protect them? 

If I was really serious about keeping my children safe, then I probably shouldn’t let them out of my sight. I certainly wouldn’t let them ride a bike or skateboard; and obviously they would never go near a climbing frame (at least, not without wall-to-wall foam.) In fact, all hard surfaces are out – you can trip-up anywhere. And sharp objects, obvs. 

I wouldn’t let them cross a road or mix with strangers. I wouldn’t let them go to school, to Sunday school, to play team sport.

In fact, let’s get serious. Why would I let them leave the house at all? I should lock them down. Perhaps install cameras around my house, so I can monitor them. 

All this will take its toll on me. I would need to be constantly vigilant. It’s ok though, because I have a brilliant strategy! 

All you have to do is terrorise them into fearing the world.

Lovingly nurture within them a pathological fear of the outside, of the foreign and unknown. 

It wouldn’t take long. My children are pretty tough, but I reckon I could break them in 6 weeks. Maybe less if I had some support from the behavioural experts on Sage. Or I could just leave BBC news on in their bedroom. 

My conscience would be clear, because I wouldn’t even have to lie to them. The world is dangerous. It’s true – they could die out there. All I need to do is emphasise the danger, the downside, the risk, and let their imagination do the rest. 

Here is the coup de grâce. I’ll tell them that if anything ever happens to them, it would kill me.

Guilt, shame, pathological terror. These are all legitimate safeguarding tools in a society that values safety above all else. 

No loving parent would do this. But it is precisely what the British State has done and continues to do to our children.

Why is it a horror show, and not a story of compassion and love? After all, it’s a rational and methodologically-sound approach to safeguarding.

I realise you know this already, but just in case a member of Sage is reading, here is the reason that a policy of protecting other people becomes quickly pathological. 

Believing you have the right to protect other people is a tyrant’s presumption. That’s because you can only protect others by putting them in a prison of your devising. That prison may be a bubble, a house, a face mask, a culture of fear. It’s a policy that speaks in favour of life, but only so that those lives can be controlled. 

Life without risk is not life, it is biological existence. Science cannot tell the difference because it is, by definition, objective. Meanwhile life is, by definition, subjective. It is only life when it is experienced. 

There is no reward without risk just as there can be no life without the prospect of death. 

All parents know this because all parents feel this tension. Their greatest fear and strongest instinct is to protect their children from risk. But their greatest hope is for them flourish in the world. Their fears and their hopes are completely incompatible, and they must be carefully balanced. 

If they are to succeed as a parent, eventually hope must win. 

If we are to succeed as a society, the parental ambitions of the State must lose. 

Let hope win.

The Children’s Union is fighting back. Join us

In British public discourse and political decision-making, children have been forgotten.

Policies that directly impact on their welfare have treated them as expendable. In national politics, they have become less than an after-thought; their welfare wilfully sacrificed, time and again – increasingly without the slightest pretence of consideration or concern.

The Children’s Union says enough.

We have a single mission: to defend the interests of children to those wielding power.

We will entertain no other agenda, whether political, financial or personal. The welfare of all children will be our sole concern, and in their interests will we hold society’s leaders to account.

An advanced and wealthy nation such as the UK should be a wonderful place for a child to grow up. Instead, our children face a daily diet of unchecked corporate predation, ideological instruction, uncontextualized totalitarian rule-making, along with an actual diet of ultra-processed, addictive foods. We are deploying the full force and ingenuity of our scientifically advanced age against our children.

The nature of these threats are unlike any that parents have faced before, or that any parent is equipped to tackle alone. They pervade every aspect of a child’s life and are highly technological, ubiquitous (often without a realistic substitute), top-down and, increasingly, mandated. No adult or guardian has a chance of defending children against this onslaught, this amoral, technocratic construct designed to exploit them.

The Children’s Union will fight this systematic predation, neglect and exploitation head-on.

We will argue the case for children in a reasoned way, with reference to evidence where it is available, and logic where it is not.

We will leverage the knowledge of child-experts across disciplines, from developmental psychology and paediatrics, through to data science and pedagogy, and we will depend on the active participation and contribution of all adults in society who care about our children and who want that message to ring unmistakably and deafeningly through the corridors of power.

We are here to make a big difference, and with your help, that is what we will do.

Neil Oliver: if we don’t put children first, what’s the point?

Neil Oliver has broken ranks with the world’s broadcast media and delivered a stark warning against programmes to vaccinate children, in the EU and elsewhere. 

“There’s talk,” he says, “serious talk of vaccinating children against covid-19.”

He observes that covid-19 represents almost no threat at all to children and that if they do catch it, the disease will manifest itself in almost every case in symptoms indistinguishable from the common cold. 

“Never before in medical history has there been a proposal to vaccinate children against a disease that poses them no measurable harm.”

In disturbing and powerful language, he asks “Are the adults of this country truly supporting the notion of standing behind a wall of safety, built of our children and infants?”

“Any society that contemplates putting children in the front line of saving adults… is not a society worth saving.”

“Speaking for myself, from my heart, I say this is a fork in the road for our society. We will be judged, and we should be judged as human beings by what we do next.”

The broadcaster who is best known for conservationist and historical documentaries, and is now a GB News presenter concluded that whether adults take covid-19 vaccines is a private and personal choice “in an erstwhile free society.” 

“But,” he says, “leave the children alone. Leave the children alone.”

philosophers debate

Child sacrifice on the altar of scientism

I once heard two philosophers debating. One an atheist, one a man of faith. (This isn’t a joke.) 

Sam Harris (for he was the atheist) mocked the believer by pointing out that the Bible contains the barbarous act of child-sacrifice. Jordan B Peterson (for he was the believer) responded by wondering how often, in those brutish and archaic times, it might have been necessary to make that terrible sacrifice for the survival of the tribe or some other good. 

I remember listening and being very thankful that we live in a time when such terrible moral dilemmas are never presented to us. We exist in a world so luxurious that child-sacrifice could only ever be considered an act of utter evil. No modern problem could necessitate such a dreadful and disturbing strategy. 

That was 2019. 

We now live in a world where child sacrifice has become so normal that anyone even questioning it is deemed to be callous and anti-social.

No child-sacrifice is too great in order to protect us all from a virus – a virus that would be extremely difficult to detect were it not for modern medical apparatus and a Western population that enjoys longevity far greater than anything since those long-lived ancients of the Old Testament. 

For the sake of today’s ancient ones, and a small proportion of already vulnerable souls (many of whom are obese adults), we lock all our children inside – for weeks and month on end. We stop them from hugging their relatives. We stop them from playing with their friends. We stop them from developing socially, and understanding what it is to be part of a supportive community. In all but the narrow medical sense, we stop them from living. We have sacrificed the childhood of millions of children. That’s how caring a society we are. 

And while it seemed unnatural to every parent, they complied, because they were told to do it – not by God, but by “the Science.”

This was not Science as in the “scientific method” – that objective process that has brought wealth, health and prosperity to the world, to such an extent as to make moral dilemmas virtually obsolete. This is Science as a cult, with leaders and heretics, with mystical beliefs in simplistic computerised models, and followers and fanatics that will excuse any evil in pursuit of the greater good. It is not, in fact, science at all, but a kind of naïve rationalism that has been termed scientism. It is to science what dogma is to religion: the veneration of form over substance. 

But this is no mere metaphor.

Our leaders, led by Scientism, seek to pierce the flesh, and inoculate our children against something that poses them no threat if they catch it today, but may pose them a threat if they don’t build natural immunity in the long-run. Meanwhile, the experimental treatments themselves (colloquial called ‘vaccines’) have proven extremely harmful to a small proportion of children, and risk compromising their immune systems over time.

While there is no advantage and only downside for the child, the surprising thing is that there is no clear advantage for anyone. Like religious sacrifices, the rationale for this particular child sacrifice is not tangible or earthly (since the vaccines are not designed to prevent transmission, and may very well do the reverse.) It is a symbol, a sign of commitment to the cause. Through their sacrifice, we will be socially cleansed.  

I will not cite here the numbers of injuriescasualties or deaths in children that have arisen already as a result of these experiments. Either you are willing to sacrifice children, or you are not. And if you are, then no statistic is likely to stay your hand. No account of tragedy, however thin or thick the volume may be, will be heard or believed by the fanatics of Scientism. 

But it is not just a matter of opinion – it just seems that way when viewed in the abstract. Unlike science, which seeks universal truths, moral decisions are always context-specific. So look at your own life. Would you sacrifice your own child to save their grandparent, or anyone else’s aged or vulnerable relative, from Covid-19? More than that, would you sacrifice them just to show you care about the issue, regardless of whether it will actually make a difference?

If the answer is no, then help us expose this deluded cult of Scientism for what it is – a threat to children, to hope and to the future.
