Approx rate 10 per 100,000, and considering there is only approx 20,000 in total in hospital with COVID , that you then reduce that to a fifth of the total, which makes it a whopping total of 2.
As per ONS stats as of 7th January.

Aren’t Stats a wonderful way to misrepresent anything?

Equally as someone who hates the state mandating (or restricting) anything I’m also surprised you don’t support the rights of parents to have a safe and effective vaccine for their children.

Hey, when it’s approved for kids under 12, I have no objection whatsoever to parents jabbing their kids if they want. I personally do not believe it is necessary for that cohort.

All the anti-vax theories about mass infection of children being a positive, and boosting immunity, have been absolutely discredited by the emergence of Omicron.

Well I’m not anti-vax, I have had all three Jabs. The benefit/risk for me seems clear. The same case has not been made for u12s, in my view.
But it’s something I’ll keep under review.
