🚨 Children are a major transmission vector
To be honest, this isn't news to any of us who have been following the data. We know the cases spread through the age groups, starting with the kids and then moving on to older generations.

This goes against the government's narrative of returning to school in 2020. When they claimed that children don't catch or spread the virus.
They even paid social media influencers to encourage children to school, and parents to work, prevaccines.

Following the emergence of vaccines, the reluctance of the JCVI to support the need for children's vaccination in the UK has meant that we have maintained a pool of undervaccinated young people, increasing their risk of @LongCovidKids.

Shocking new data from the ONS reveals that 0-4yos have a similar risk ICU / HDU risk to 65-74yos.
We can fix this easily #vax4kids💉 needs URGENT approval.

MHRA approval was granted on 22nd December 2022 for the 6m-4yo vaccines.
Why are our families still waiting?
The US authorised use on the 8th December.

The UK instead denied new 5yos their first doses in August.
No big fanfare 🎉 - they were quietly withdrawn.

↪️Myocarditis risks (mild) from vax much touted in the media by 'experts', yet risks from infection are not only higher but more severe.
↪️This has, predictably, resulted in not only low Covid vaccination rates but reduced uptake in other kids' vaccines.

Take a look at #Vax4Kids 'flu 💉
This is interesting because there was a BIG push to vaccinate this year. Yet the average uptake has been dropping.
Expanding eligible age ranges is the only way to get more doses out.

I despair at the messaging around #vax4kids that I'm seeing.
All medicines are licensed based upon a balance of clinical benefit vs risk. All medicines will have risk, but as a population reducing the harms from disease outweighs it.
This does not diminish the problems faced by

those that comprise the rare group that experience moderate to severe or even deadly side effects.
Issues can arise when, on a population scale, risks are over-stated, or the perceived benefits are underplayed. Of course, the opposite is also true, but there's some pretty good

We don't want to withdraw our kids and deny them formal education. We want our human rights to be conserved #educationANDlives.

If we take any days off we face fines, prosecutions and social services. Blunt tools aimed at those taking term-time holidays or school refusers.
Last school year, families had to battle for lives.
Even when attendance *wasn't* compulsory our members were receiving threats.

Whilst this is a start and we welcome the offering of vaccines to these children to protect incredibly vulnerable families, we feel this does not go far enough.
CV/CEV households all need #vax4kids urgently. We don't understand the risks posed by all of these vulnerabilities.
