I'd like to add Twitter & Facebook to that list . . . along with various media outlets

Media reporting that Boris is wanting to extend the ‘covid powers’ for another six months (they’re due to automatically lapse in March 22 however)

I’m sure many organisations, governments, health officials and pharmaceutical companies have done very well under the circumstances. I’m not convinced that should be extended to the WHO.

If anyone else said what they did downplaying human to human transmission (against all evidence) in January 2020, downplaying airborne transmission (against much evidence) and running a sham investigation into the origins of Covid they’d rightfully be laughed out of town. The fact this is a UN organisation doesn’t exempt it from criticism for at best incompetence and at worst complicity with the CCP.

Quite right.

Agreed. I'm hoping the lessons WHO has learned extend beyond learning a few letters in the Greek Alphabet.

Would that include pondering why they are wasting their collective breath?

Comedy from the behavioural scientists at the JCVI today basically handing a decision to Ministers and CMOs on vaccinating 12-15 year olds. Wonder what their combined daily rate to come up with that was.

Maybe they don't want to be responsible for potentially harming healthy children.

Haven't they vaccinated that age group in Israel? without issue?

They ought to take that up with the MHRA, who describe the vaccine as safe and effective.

Fundamentally it appears they don’t want to provide political cover for Ministers who have to decide, based on limited supply of mRNA vaccines, whether to vaccinate children or offer boosters.

12-15 year olds can’t vote, unfortunately, so we know what way that one goes.

Why let facts in the way of posting spurious anti-vax messages.

The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) today extended the small group of seriously ill children aged 12 to 15 who can currently get vaccinated.

But it announced it cannot recommend jabs for otherwise healthy children in this age group for the time being. The JCVI says the small risk from Covid-19 to that age group does not justify the risk from extremely rare side effects.

Elon Musk said that sometimes the questions were harder than the answers. Now I know what he means.

That's spot on, well said.

Why vaccinate a section of the population that don’t need it?
