Why aren’t we as a society insisting upon vaccinating kids against Covid before sending them back to school? Here’s a historical comparison. Whooping cough, pertussis. Before vaccines, about 50-120 deaths per year. I’ve also included the projection of deaths of children from Covid, by the Doherty Report, in the 6 months after re-opening. About the same as used to die of whooping cough. In fact for most of the diseases we immunise kids for, the story is the same. ‘Most kids were fine’ pre-vaccines. The same nonsense we hear now about Covid, ‘most kids are fine’. Why don’t we just drop all childhood immunisation, if that’s what we really think now? How did we become that society?
