“To summarise, the official UK Government figures published by the UK’s Office for National Statistics, prove that COVID-vaccinated children and teenagers are more likely to die of both Covid-19 and any other cause than unvaccinated children and teenagers.”
btw, I saw a passing reference to Canada taking away people’s kids if they don’t vaxx, I assumed for Covid. But maybe kid vaccines generally? Anyone know more?
Everybody’s at the beach.
Some of us are heading to the ball park. It’s good to be able to go to live games again after the eminently forgettable 2020 “season” — I still think Tony “The Mouth” Fauci jinxed it with his attempt at a ceremonial first pitch. Anyway, lest we forget, here’s Harrison Sheckler’s arrangement of the national pastime’s national anthem for virtual orchestra and choir, with cameo appearances of several MLB players. All 30 MLB teams plus a number of minor league teams are represented by the various musicians:
First of all, when I went to the site and tried to look at a chart, the chart was blank. So for whatever reason, I was unable to access the data myself. So I did a search for the quote you gave and it led me to this site, which at least has some of the data on the page so it’s viewable. From what I see there, the statement is false. In addition, even if it were true, during the majority of the period involved in the chart the vast majority of children were unvaccinated because vaccines were not approved for healthy children. Therefore most vaccinated children would have been suffering from significant health problems to begin with, which would make them a nonrepresentative population of especially unhealthy children.

Reading it carefully … and reading between the lines … I would agree that danger to children from vaccines has not been proved. But I would want authorities to dig in much deeper, not just slough it off.
Here’s the key claim, it’s to do with “All Cause Deaths”. There is suspicion in the anti-mRNA camp that the rise in ACD is likely related to the vaccines since other possible causes are so unpersuasive (and because authorities refuse to look into all cause deaths).
All-cause death rate among vaxed kids much higher in UK (Jan-Oct 2021):
~3 times higher: 15-19y
~52 times higher: 10-14y

I’m still on a T.S. Eliot kick. I’ve moved on from “The Waste Land” to “The Four Quartets.”
Today in a YouTube on the “Quartets” I heard a great story about Eliot and C.S. Lewis, who were both serious Christians, writers and friends, BUT….
____________________________
Lewis was very much of a traditionalist and Eliot was very very much of a modernist speaking aesthetically…
Lewis loved Milton and Eliot did not like Milton. Lewis in one of his writings said, “The poetry of Milton is like the Great Wall of China. Inside is civilization and outside are the barbarians … or those like Mr. T.S. Eliot who have gone out into the wilderness to fast and pray.”
I thought that was a lovely compliment.
–Thomas Howard, Professor Emeritus, St. John’s Seminary,
“A Reader’s Guide to T.S. Eliot’s “Four Quartets”” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnTqmpti6So
____________________________
That is a lovely compliment from one Christian to another.
Eliot paid a huge price when he was formally baptized a Christian at the age of 38. All of his modernist literary friends turned their backs upon him.
Speaking of converts to Christianity– Mitsuo Fuchida, the Japanese pilot who commanded the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, became a Christian in 1949. In 1959, Fuchida met Paul Tibbets, the American pilot who dropped the bomb on Hiroshima in August 1945. The two men had a conversation: Tibbets said to Fuchida that “[y]ou sure did surprise us [at Pearl Harbor]” in which he replied “What do you think you did to us [at Hiroshima]?” Fuchida further told him that: “You did the right thing. You know the Japanese attitude at that time, how fanatic they were, they’d die for the Emperor … Every man, woman, and child would have resisted that invasion with sticks and stones if necessary … Can you imagine what a slaughter it would be to invade Japan? It would have been terrible. The Japanese people know more about that than the American public will ever know.”
No Pasaran has many more links regarding what happened on August 6, 1945, as today is the 77th anniversary of the dropping of the first atomic bomb:
I once talked to an older Japanese woman who had immigrated to the US. (Which admittedly sorts her to a pro-US side.) She says the Japanese believed they would be treated with reasonable justice after the surrender and they were.
She didn’t comment on whether Japan was better for having been nuked and I didn’t ask.
I have my disclaimer here — I would probably not exist had my father not visited Japan as part of an “Occupation” force rather than “Invasion” force. He was a paratrooper.
huxley– My dad was a paratrooper too, 82nd Airborne. One reason he and his buddy were not all that excited on V-E Day was that they were cleaning up a concentration camp near Ludwigslust (I mentioned that camp last week) on May 8, 1945; the other reason was that they fully expected to be deployed for Operation Downfall, which was the code name for the planned amphibious and airborne invasion of the Japanese home islands. (In the event, it was the 11th Airborne Division that would have been part of the invasion of Japan, not the 82nd or the 101st, but my dad and his buddy could not have known that.)
My dad was a lifelong Republican who thought that dropping the atomic bomb was the only good thing that Harry Truman ever did. If Operation Downfall had actually gone through and my dad had been part of it, I might not exist either.
And so…the atomic bombs dropped at Hiroshima and Nagasaki actually SAVED Japan.

In my current quest to determine what an American university education is about (and to clarify my small personal part as a returning senior student), I’ve discovered a trove of YouTubes, TEDx talks, blogs and articles quite critical of higher education.
These critics aren’t complaining about the hothouse leftist politics of the university, but the unworkable, exploitative nature of today’s universities.
They describe the universities as ponzi schemes and even cults, which have few winners and leave many participants with broken minds, broken bodies and broken bank accounts. They are warning younger listeners to consider their choices in academia carefully and skeptically.
