Trading the approval for 5-11 year olds. This was based on preventing hospitalisations in "future waves", there is zero mention of the fact vaccine effectiveness drops to near zero after 20 weeks so doses given in February will be useless by next winter.

They estimate between 340k & 1.9m doses will be required to stop 1 ICU admission.
"cases that required ICU admission were generally admitted for inotropic support and did not require ventilation; most were
discharged after five days"

The Chair summarised that for children aged 5 to 11-years old the risk ofsevere COVID-19 was very low. Vaccination could reduce the risk further but would come with local and systemic side-effects.

The Joint Committee on Human Rights reviewed the Bill of Rights Bill & concluded "We are concerned that the proposals and their consequences run counter to three central principles of human rights law.

Human rights are universal; they apply to everyone. Human rights are fundamental and require special protection within the domestic and international legal order. Human rights must be able to adapt to stand the test of time, as the common law does.

We do not think a case has been made for replacing the Human Rights Act with the British Bill of Rights in the form proposed by the Government.

The proposed Human Rights Act reforms must be withdrawn. The Government must not make any changes to the Human Rights Act, especially ones that dilute people's human rights in any circumstances, make the Government less accountable, or reduce people's ability to make HR claims.

The Human Rights Act as it exists currently protects all of us. We lose it at our peril. It is an essential law that allows us to challenge public authorities when they get it wrong and has helped secure justice on issues from the right to life to the right to free speech.
