The #CovidUnknowns Vaccination in Children webinar is now on YouTube, so it's time to link up my live-tweets to video presentations.
Starting with @ParsnipsParsons on the rights of the child.
Followed by @russellviner on the keys issues in childhood vaccination for Covid-19.
"60-70% of children have asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection."
"Delta appears to be more severe in adults, but if anything it seems less severe in children."

Vaccine passports will achieve nothing other than furthering the erosion of the liberties that define Western Civilisation. These liberties should not be so readily cast aside. Even talk of “optional” things should make liberals shudder.
It's so hypocritical that the talk was of no desire for domestic #VaccinePassports and then the moment the tool necessary to implement them arrives (for a different purpose, international access), they immediately become policy. Give politicians a hammer..

“The pandemic led seemingly overnight to a scary new form of scientific universalism. Everyone did COVID-19 science or commented on it. By August 2021, 330,000 scientific papers were published on COVID-19, involving roughly a million different authors.”

I actually think they are controversially low. The latest US figures for 16/17 yo males are 72 per million and as they get more data on the 12-15 yos I’d expect that group to increase too as per trend with age shown so far. Other countries have seen numbers exceeding 100.
