The net benefit of vaccinating children is extremely small, so much so that the scientists were hesitant about recommending that children should be vaccinated. Although on balance they decided it would be, it was close, and in all probability based on keeping transmission rates down.

More tosh Old Boy. The JCVI bottled it and were overruled by the CMOs because their advice was narrow in focus, based on flawed data and simply preposterous to follow unless you wanted to keep kids in lockdown forever to maintain their “two in a million” risk of death from Covid.

I did, I can't recall exactly (i'm sure king of the search function - Hugh will find the relevant post ) in what context I said it. I think was along the lines of instead of vaccinating under 30's, vaccinate the at risk groups globally. I still stand by that.

We'll probably go to Spain

So basically as long as you’re alright and can get vaccinated as much as you want/need the Africa point is moot?
Exactly the type of principled decision making I’ve come to expect from you Pierre please do keep them coming.
The scientific evidence on the safety of the vaccine is absolutely clear. We will have needles in the arms of kids in no time at all. Long before the “experimental vaccine” has satisfied the internet crackpots.
You can compete with the most desperate last stand on the forum with OB’s defence of Owen Paterson.
