Meanwhile, the insanity of vaccinating 5-11-year-olds here in the USA goes forward. The soon-to-be ex-mayor of NYC seems almost demonically gleeful at the thought of vaccinating these 5-11-year-olds. It is quite scary.
Arguments to vaccinate children as young as five against Covid are 'scientifically weak', British experts claimed today after the US moved closer to jabbing infants. An advisory panel to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) yesterday almost unanimously agreed the benefits of giving under-12s Pfizer's jab outweighed risks.
American health chiefs are expected to green light the plans within days, which will put pressure on the UK to follow suit.
But British scientists have warned against 'blindly' recommending the jabs to primary school-aged children without weighing up the risks 'extremely carefully'.
Professor David Livermore, a medical microbiologist at the University of East Anglia told MailOnline: 'Vaccinating children to protect adults via herd immunity is ethically dubious and is scientifically weak.'
There are also still fears about myocarditis, a form of heart inflammation detected in children, mostly boys, in around one in 10,000 cases after vaccination.
Critics say children are better off catching Covid and getting protection naturally because the risk of being admitted to ICU is about one in 500,000.
