So, they’ll be making decisions for their children, who are too young to give informed consent, without the necessary information.

Will parents be given the information in Macdonald’s article? Probably not. In the Pfizer tests, giving the vaccine to children who already had antibodies gave zero additional protection, possibly the numbers in the test were too low, but no statistically valid difference was detected. In California I think it was something like a 60% positive antibody test result in children. Few random tests for antibodies have been carried out anywhere, but the few that have suggest that possibly a majority of children have already had Covid in places where it is endemic (so not NZ) and most were simply unaware of that. US figures are harder to interpret, their deaths are higher in this group from Covid, but they make no effort to separate vulnerable children and their counting methodology is pretty suspect in many areas.įor reasons not entirely clear, children seem to catch Covid and clear it out without significant symptoms most of the time. Although it is probably deliberately obfuscated, the risk of death for the same group from the vaccine itself is NOT zero, more like something between 5 and 30 per million, with significant serious impacts considerably higher again. UK figures strongly suggest that for healthy children (no serious comorbidities, and Asthma is not a comorbidity, luckily) t,he risk of death from catching Covid is approximately zero, 1 in a million or less.

The benefit just does not exist for children. Just to support Benedict, he has indeed been mentioning the waning effectiveness of the vaccine from when the data first became available from Israel some months ago.īut good to see that you (Benedict) have also come round on something I’ve been banging on about for months, the serious problem with vaccinating those under, say, 17 though that number could be as high as 25-30. I wish this was a parody rather than reality. Everyone knows that we can wipe out measles with a vaccine. These are the public health tools that in the absence of lockdowns, we will absolutely continue to use,” Ardern said.” When we have outbreaks in New Zealand, we contact-trace, and we isolate. “Measles is both incredibly infectious but also potentially deadly for a young unvaccinated child. “So principle number one will remain – maintaining our elimination strategy to stamp out the virus, so we can maintain our hard won gains and keep our options open.” They think the vaccine is like the measles vaccine.
