Open letter to Chris Whitty on his ‘impact assessment’ of vaccinating teens

Read our open letter to Professor Chris Whitty, the Chief Medical Officer, regarding the government’s request for him to consider vaccinating 12-15 year olds, despite the JCVI’s opposition.

Dear Chris,

Re: ‘Chief medical officers to consider vaccinating people [sic] aged 12 to 15 following JCVI advice’

After so many untested non-medical interventions on our children, the government finally wants an impact assessment.

Government ministers want you, Chris, to consider “the wider impacts” of not giving children the Covid treatment, specifically:

‘the impact on schools and young people’s education, which has been disproportionately impacted by the pandemic.’

You see the problem, I’m sure. The pandemic didn’t close schools. The government did. As such, they are asking you to respond, not to a genuine enquiry, but to a threat: if you don’t sanction this risky medical intervention, our non-medical intervention may hurt children even more.

The JCVI held the line last week. The government-convened panel of experts refused to sanction the covid treatment for children. Under great political pressure to give it the green light, they had to consider covid, long covid, short term health impacts like myocarditis, the incidence of death following vaccination, the long-term health impacts on children that have their whole lives ahead of them. And they said, no. Don’t do it.

So now, unable to justify this medical intervention on medical grounds, the government wants you to justify it on the grounds of reactive policy. But policy isn’t inevitable. They set it. They don’t really want an impact assessment, Chris. They want a parody of one, with your signature beneath it.

Let’s be clear on your task. The government has asked you to weigh-up two false and unnecessary alternatives; and to tell them which will be the least effective at hurting, maiming and killing children. They will then implement one of them.

You have another option, Chris. You can just say no. None of the above.

Children don’t have a choice here. And their parents won’t really have one. Only you do.

We have wanted an impact assessment on school closures since March 2020. But we are now in a position where, if such an assessment were conducted, it would be used as an excuse to vaccinate children against medical advice. The truth has been weaponised. That’s what happens you make concessions against logic in the name of political expediency. You undo 300 years of scientific progress.

Don’t be a part of it, Chris.

Say “none of the above”.

Yours sincerely,
