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,

^[1] Updated analysis of deaths in males 15-19 years of age – HART (hartgroup.org)

Professor Lim Wei Shen, Chairman JCVI COVID-19 vaccines sub-committee
Professor Chris Whitty, Chief Medical Officer
Dr Jenny Harries, CEO, UKHSA
Hon.Sajid Javid, MP, Secretary of State for Health & Social Care

30^th June 2022

Dear Dr Raine,

Re: Covid-19 vaccines for 6 months to 4 years age group

We are writing to you urgently concerning the announcement that the FDA has granted an Emergency Use Authorisation for both Pfizer and Moderna Covid-19 vaccines in preschool children.

We would urge you to consider very carefully the move to vaccinate ever younger and younger children against SARS-CoV-2, despite the gradual but significant reducing virulence of successive variants, the increasing evidence of rapidly waning vaccine efficacy, the increasing concerns over long-term vaccine harms, and the knowledge that the vast majority of this young age group have already been exposed to SARS-CoV-2 repeatedly and have demonstrably effective immunity. Thus, the balance of benefit and risk which supported the rollout of mRNA vaccines to the elderly and vulnerable in 2021, is totally inappropriate for small children in 2022. 

We also strongly challenge the addition of Covid-19 vaccination into the routine child immunisation programme,^[i]despite no demonstrated clinical need, known and unknown risks (see below) and the fact that these vaccines still have only conditional marketing authorisation.

It is noteworthy that the Pfizer documentation^[ii] presented to the FDA has huge gaps in the evidence provided: 

• The protocol was changed mid-trial. The original 2-dose schedule exhibited poor immunogenicity with efficacy far below the required standard. A third dose was added by which time many of the original placebo recipients had been vaccinated.  
• There was no statistically significant difference between the placebo and vaccinated groups in either the 6–23-month age group or the 2-4-year-olds even after the third dose. Astonishingly the results were based on just three participants in the younger age group (1 vaccinated and 2 placebo) and just seven participants in the older 2–4-year-olds (2 vaccinated and 5 placebo).   Indeed, for the younger age the confidence intervals ranged from minus 367% to plus 99%. The manufacturer stated that the numbers were too low to draw any confident conclusions. Moreover, these limited numbers come only from children infected more than 7 days after the third dose. 
• Over the whole time period from the first dose onwards (see page 39 Tables 19 & 20), there were a total of 225 infected children in the vaccinated arm and 150 in the placebo arm, giving a calculated vaccine efficacy of only 25% (14% for the 6-23 months, and 33% for 2-4s).  
• The additional immunogenicity studies against Omicron, requested by the FDA, only involved a total of 66 children tested one month after the third dose (see page 35).   

It is incomprehensible that the FDA considered that this represents sufficient evidence on which to base a decision to vaccinate healthy children.  When it comes to safety, the data is even thinner: only 1057 children, some already unblinded, were followed for just 2 months. It is noteworthy that Sweden and Norway are not recommending the vaccine for 5-11s and Holland is not recommending it for children who have already had Covid-19. The director of the Danish Health and Medicines Authority stated recently that with what is now known, the decision to vaccinate children was a mistake.^[iii]

We summarise below the overwhelming arguments against this vaccination.

A.  Extremely low risk from Covid-19 to young children

• In the whole of 2020 and 2021, not a single child aged 1-9 died where Covid-19 was the sole diagnosis on the death certificate, according to ONS data.^[iv]
• A detailed study in England from 1^st March 2020 to 1^st March 2021 found only 6 children under 18 years died with no comorbidities. There were no deaths aged 1-4 years.^[v]
• Children clear the virus more easily than adults.^[vi]
• Children mount effective, robust, and sustained immune responses.^[vii]
• Since the arrival of the Omicron variant, infections have been generally much milder. That is also true for unvaccinated under 5s.^[viii]
• By June 2022 it is now estimated that 89% of 1-4-year-olds had already had SARS-CoV-2 infection.^[ix]
• Recent data from Israel shows excellent long-lasting immunity following infection in children, especially in 5-11s.^[x]

B.  Poor vaccine efficacy 

• In adults it has become apparent that vaccine efficacy wanes steadily over time, necessitating boosters at regular intervals. Specifically, vaccine efficacy has waned more rapidly against the latest Omicron variants. 
• In children vaccine efficacy has waned more rapidly in 5-11s than in 12-17s, possibly related to the lower dose used in the paediatric formulation. One study from New York showed efficacy against Omicron falling to only 12% by 4-5 weeks and to negative values by 5-6 weeks post second dose.^[xi] 
• In the Pfizer 0-4s trial,¹ the efficacy after two doses fell to negative values, necessitating a change to the trial protocol. After a third dose there was a suggestion of efficacy from 7-30 days but there is no data beyond 30 days to see how quickly this will wane. 

C. Potential harms of Covid-19 vaccines for children

• There has been great concern about myocarditis in adolescents and young adults, especially in males after the second dose, estimated at 1/2600 in active post marketing surveillance in Hong Kong.^[xii] The emerging evidence of persistent cardiac abnormalities^[xiii] in adolescents with post mRNA vaccine myopericarditis, as demonstrated by cardiac MRI at 3-8 months follow up, suggests this is far from ‘mild and shot-lived’.  The potential for longer term effects requires further study and calls for the strictest application of the precautionary principle in respect of the youngest and most vulnerable children.
• Although post-vaccination myocarditis appears to be less common in 5-11-year-olds than older children, it is, none-the-less, increased over baseline.^[xiv] 
• In the Pfizer study 50% of vaccinated children had systemic adverse events, including irritability and fever. Diagnosis of myocarditis is much more difficult in younger children.^[xv]  No troponin levels or ECG studies were documented. Even a vaccinated child in the trial, hospitalised with fever, calf pain and a raised CPK, had no report of D-dimers, antiplatelet antibodies or troponin levels.
• In Pfizer’s 5-11s post-authorisation conditions, they are required to conduct studies looking for myocarditis and are not due to report results until 2027.
• Of equal concern are, as yet unknown, negative effects on the immune system. In the 0-4s trial, only 7 children were described as having ‘severe’ Covid-19 – 6 vaccinated and 1 given placebo. Similarly, for the 12 children with recurrent episodes of infection, 10 were vaccinated against only 2 who received placebo. These are all tiny figures and much too small to rule out any adverse impact such as antibody dependant enhancement (ADE)^[xvi]  and other impacts on the immune system.
• Also unanswered is the question of Original Antigenic Sin.^[xvii]  It is of note that in a large Israeli study, those infected after vaccination had poorer cover than those vaccinated after infection.^[xviii]  In the Moderna trial, N antibodies were seen in only 40% of those infected after vaccination, compared to 93% of those infected after placebo.^[xix] 
• There is evidence of vaccine-induced disruption of both innate and adaptive^[xx],[xxi] immune responses. The possibility of developing an impaired immune function would be disastrous for children, who have the most competent innate immunity, which by now has been effectively trained by the circulating virus.
• Totally unknown is whether there will be any adverse effect on T-cell function leading to an increase in cancers.^[xxii] 
• Also, in terms of reproductive function, limited animal biodistribution studies showed lipid nanoparticles concentrate in ovaries and testes.^[xxiii]  Adult sperm donors have showed a reduction in sperm counts particularly of motile sperm, falling by 3 months post-vaccination and remaining depressed at 4-5 months.^[xxiv] 
• Even for adults, concerns are rising that serious adverse events are in excess of hospitalisations from Covid-19.^[xxv]

D. Informed consent

• For 5-11s, the JCVI, in recommending a ‘non-urgent offer’ of vaccination, specifically noted the importance of fully informed consent with no coercion.^[xxvi]
• With the low uptake in this age group, the presence of ‘therapy dogs’,^[xxvii] advertisements including superhero images^[xxviii] and information about child vaccination protecting friends and family, all clearly run contrary to the concept of consent, fully informed and freely given.^[xxix] 
• The complete omission of information explaining to the public the different and novel technology used in Covid-19 vaccines compared to standard vaccines, and the failure to inform of the lack of any long-term safety data, borders on misinformation.^[xxx]

E. Effect on public confidence 

• Vaccines against much more serious diseases, such as polio and measles, need to be prioritised.^[xxxi]  Pushing an unnecessary and novel, gene-based vaccine onto young children risks seriously undermining parental confidence in the whole immunisation programme. 
• The poor quality of the data presented by Pfizer risks bringing the pharmaceutical industry into disrepute and the regulators if this product is authorised.

In summary, young healthy children are at minimal risk from Covid-19, especially since the arrival of the Omicron variant.  Most have been repeatedly exposed to SARS-CoV-2 virus, yet have remained well, or have had short, mild illness. As detailed above, the vaccines are of brief efficacy, have known short- to medium-term risks and unknown long-term safety. Data for clinically useful efficacy in small children are scant or absent.  In older children, for whom they are already licensed, they have been promoted via ethically dubious schemes to the potential detriment of other, and vital, parts of the childhood vaccination programme.

For a tiny minority of children for whom the potential for benefit clearly and unequivocally outweighed the potential for harm, vaccination could have been facilitated by restrictive licences.  Whether following the precautionary principle or the instruction to First Do No Harm, such vaccines have no place in a routine childhood immunisation programme.
