UK To Prohibit Boosters For Most Under the Age of 50 – Jabs for Kids are Banned.
Despite the seemingly endless supply of COVID-19 vaccines traveling with ease across an otherwise spotty supply chain, the UK’s Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunization has decided to end boosters for most under fifty years of age.
The booster availability to the younger, healthy population will end in England on Feb. 12, the government said.
National Health Service (NHS) official Steve Russell said that people should get their booster before the availability ends.
“The NHS will continue to operate a smaller scale vaccine offer from mid-February onwards to ensure those eligible for first and second doses can still get their jabs,” Maria Caulfield, the health minister, said.
The sale ends soon. While Supplies last. Sorry, supply has never been a problem. Odd. But never fear. If you really want another booster of Herr Fauci’s Wonderful Miraculous Cure, you could pretend to have comorbidity.
I know I’m perfectly healthy, but I don’t want to be, so I’m presenting as “at risk” for COVID-19. And, ironically, if you give me the booster, I will be.
But wait, there’s more!
Health officials have also accepted the recommendation to end the availability of the initial vaccination, or a primary series, for the population not at clinical risk subject to further consideration, according to Caulfield. …
Most children are already unable to get a booster or primary series.
Where does this common sense come from, and why have they embraced it? Vaccine uptake has waned. Almost no one in England seems to want one anymore. They have also concluded that there’s no value in it.
In numbers released on Wednesday, UK authorities said (pdf) they calculated that tens of thousands of healthy, young people would need a booster in order to prevent a single hospitalization. That included 168,200 boosters to prevent a single hospitalization in those aged 20 to 29.
No mention of how many of those young, healthy people would be (or were) harmed in such a pursuit, but that would be an act of exceptional public health awareness and a near-admission of how flawed the rollout and marketing were.
I am holding out hope. There’s been a lot of pressure since early on from experts we’ve been sharing here. Those numbers have only grown, and I think that a lot of “experts,” “scientists,” and “doctors” are looking for a way out from under the gross mishandling of the response and the approved remedies.
Many of them, at least in the US, are tied to non-compete agreements that prevent them from contradicting Hospital or state-regulated policies. In other words, if they say what they think or try to treat patients in some way other than what has been approved, they can be fired and lose their license.
That’s not how individualized medicine works, and it runs 180 degrees opposite what Democrats have promised for years in the shadow of ObamaCare.
So, they lied or were misled, just like the COVID debacle.
The UK appears to be searching for a path back to sanity, at least on this matter. Is it too much to ask more US States and the Feds to follow that lead?
Probably, but if we keep pushing, I think the weight of public opinion will make it inevitable.
So, we keep pushing.
