Why we should be vaccinating children over 5 much faster against Covid in the UK. (THREAD) (1) Image
UK vaccination for children was delayed much longer compared to the USA/Europe. Rates are lower inEngland:
Ages 5-11: almost 0%
Ages 12-15: 59% one dose, 23% second dose
Ages 16-17: 74% one dose, 53% second dose.
Vaccine approved by MHRA June 2021, roll-out started Sept. (2)
Some comments on radio have suggested Covid is only severe in children 'once in a blue moon' and the small risk of heart inflammation means parents should not treat vaccination as urgent. This is not correct. (3)

Y'day BBC + Guardian gave two hugely different assessments of the impact on warming from #COP26Glasgow negotiations. @BBCNews reported an IEnergyA prediction of 1.8 degs. Guardian a Climate Action Tracker estimate of 2.4degs. Both are WRONG. Why? (1) theguardian.com/environment/20…
1. The IEA estimate assumes that all promises made by all countries will be fully met. This has never happened in the past. The Guardian CAT estimate of 2.4 degs is at least more realistic. (2)
2. The International Panel on Climate Change scientists always ask for a range of estimates, not a single figure.
3. Country estimates of their carbon performance are deeply flawed. washingtonpost.com/climate-enviro… (3)

At #COP26Glasgow South Africa express deep concern about the Green Climate Fund. That it reflects the interests of donors far more than recipient countries.
Gabon complain that the Green Climate Fund is not listening to them about proposed transition projects.
Rwanda ask why it has taken over 3 years for them to be assessed within the GCF
