Invite people to Question before making a Decision

I RECENTLY saw a video of a guy standing outside a school with a megaphone saying, "Don't get the vaccine" to a crowd of young people. The school staff were taken aback and told the students to move away.

One of the many problems with the government's covid vaccine campaign is the active discouragement of everyone, including children, to educate themselves so that they are able to give as well-informed a decision as possible. Instead, the campaigns have a clear message that everyone should take it without thinking about it.

Furthermore, the government has ruled that children aged between 12 and 15 can overrule their parents if they want to have the vaccine and their parents don't consent.

They use the 'Gillick competence' test to determine whether the child is mature enough to make the decision.

But how can anyone make an informed choice without information?

The problem with the megaphone guy was that he was once again telling the students what to do instead of encouraging them to think for themselves.

Who should they believe? Some random man on a megaphone or their teachers and parents?

We have this bizarre situation now where everyone thinks they know what we all should do. The majority think that everyone should get vaccinated (because they have been pumped with that idea by the corporate media) and a minority think that nobody should get vaccinated, leaving an even smaller minority that think that everyone should make their own minds up, having weighed up the risks and benefits.

To know that everyone should or should not vaccinate would require knowledge of each individual's circumstances and a thorough understanding, not just of virology, epidemiology, vaccines and medicine, but also of political science, logic and economics.

Even if you have weighed up the data and you think that for children the risks outweigh the benefits, there may be some children who are vulnerable or who have become so traumatised by the government propaganda, that it may be best for them to take the vaccine just to give them some peace of mind.

I propose therefore, that instead of telling young people not to take the vaccine, we encourage them and their parents to inform themselves as best they can and make their choices based on knowledge.

If covid sceptics go outside schools with leaflets containing a series of questions for students and their parents to investigate, it would be a lot harder for the school staff or parents to object and it would be far better for the students. You could even have a competition for the students to email in their responses and win prizes for the best entries.

If I was running a school, I would encourage all of the students to create a covid vaccine project with solid research and award prizes for the best ones.

Here are a list of questions that could be included:

Why would I take the vaccine?

What do I think it will do?

What are my chances of dying from covid? What are my chances of being hospitalised because of covid?

Will the vaccine stop me being infected with covid?

Will the vaccine stop my spreading covid?

To my knowledge, have I had covid? If so, am I protected against catching it again?

What offers better protection - natural immunity or a vaccine?

If I have had it, will the vaccine add to protection or not?

Are any vulnerable people I live with protected by the vaccine?

If so, why do I need to have it?

Did the UK's Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) recommend for or against 12-15 year olds being vaccinated and why?

Are there any serious adverse, unwanted effects from the vaccine? (Search for the UK

Government Yellow Card reporting system to see the statistics).

Name the main serious unwanted effects of the vaccines that have been reported worldwide.

What are the chances of my suffering serious injury or death from the vaccine?

What percentage of adverse, unwanted effects of the vaccine are actually reported?

Am I including in my decision-making process the lack of long-term data with these vaccines, given that it usually takes 10 years to test the safety of one?

Are there any other steps that I could take to reduce my chances of serious illness (e.g. Vitamin D, Vitamin C, Zinc etc.) ?

How would taking the above vitamins and mineral benefit me in other ways?

How much money is involved with these vaccines? Who is benefitting from them? Do I think that there may be conflicting interests between our well-being and the huge sums of money involved?

Have I read the clinical paper for the trials that were done for the particular vaccine I am going to take?

There is a metric in medicine called 'Number Needed to Treat' (NNT) which means the number of people that need to take a particular drug in order for one person to benefit. What is the NNT for the vaccine I am taking? i.e. how many people have to take the vaccine in order for one person to have fewer symptoms you may be shocked when you discover how many it is)? Why is that NNT number important and why is the media not reporting this?

How effective is the vaccine against the 'new variants'?

What are the ingredients in the vaccine and should I be concerned about any of them?

How do these vaccines actually work and how do they differ from traditional vaccines?

Are there any other medicines with good long- and short-term safety data that I could take either to protect me from illness or to treat it if I get it (e.g. Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine, Budesonide)?

Are there doctors who have been using these medicines successfully to treat covid in countries that have little or no access to vaccines?

Why are these cheap and relatively safe medicines (no medicine is completely safe for everyone) being suppressed?

Are there any lifestyle changes I could make that could reduce my chance of serious illness?

Are there any scientists, doctors, epidemiologists, nurses and academics who do not recommend that people of my age with my health status take the vaccine? If so, are they being censored on social and mainstream media and why?

Why is the government blackmailing and bribing people to take this vaccine if it is so effective and safe? Why the doughnuts, kebabs and pizza if health and wellbeing are the primary concern?

If I am injured by a vaccine, can I sue the company that made it?
