It’s right there in the minutes that they’ve suppressed for months - removing the right of parents to make informed decisions before the schools returned and exposure was most likely to happen as mitigations and contact tracing were removed in schools.

It’s also surely a question of medical ethics why the CMOs all - almost immediately - overruled the JCVI non-decision they took months to make despite the MHRA approving the vaccines as safe and effective?

It is also a significant question of scientific ethics for a pseudo-regulator to make decisions and not publish their evidence base and rationale for peer review until after hundreds of thousands of infections have occurred off the back of it. - [
I’m not sure whether it’s quite right to accuse anyone of “knowingly and wilfully” exposing anyone to covid when we are in a pandemic and it is already at large in the community. You make it sound like they’re swabbing kids with it during morning assembly.

That aside, inaction is a question of medical ethics as much as action is. Which course of actions causes less harm? The data says restricting use of vaccination in children causes less harm to the individual.
