You would think a scientific journalist would support a call for more evidence, especially one who grudgingly concedes that our concerns are a “slight understatement of reality”. In the context of offering Pfizer’s injections to children, the statement is not just cruel but crudely disguises a misunderstanding of the situation. The title of his piece is frankly shocking: “ Is it worth vaccinating children? It sounds cruel - but a small number of deaths would be worth it”. He singles out HART for some criticism of the ‘sticks and stones’ variety – in his own words, he chooses to play the man before the ball, something that people usually do when the main thrust of their argument is holed beneath the waterline. He used illegally hacked material from private conversations in an attempt to illustrate this. However, according to Mr Chivers, we are ‘odd’, ‘deeply strange’ people. He writes some helpful articles, and we are happy to plug his latest book on How to Read Numbers, a skill that seems to be sorely lacking in this current day and age. Tom Chivers is the Science Editor of UnHerd, as well as being “far too nice to be a journalist” (at least according to Terry Pratchett). It is therefore quite surprising – to say the least – to be on the receiving end of some rather unusual commentary in UnHerd for scrutinising the prevailing narrative of the day. We believe that the careful consideration of such concerns is crucial for safeguarding children. Given that the Office for National Statistics has accepted that the 2021 increase in young male deaths is a statistically significant increase, we believe that Covid injections for young people should be halted immediately, pending further information gathering and detailed interrogation of the underlying data. As well as HART members, this letter was signed by over 80 experienced clinicians and academics, with Professors and health professionals from every speciality including public health, epidemiology, microbiology, immunology, emergency medicine, paediatrics and specialists in genomics and the pharmaceutical industry. You can read our recent letter to the UK Health Authorities regarding our concerns about very worrying signals that Covid injections may have caused death in children and young adults here. In essence, children will not benefit sufficiently to justify the known and unknown risks. We continue to challenge what we think is flawed reasoning for giving children injections against Covid: see here, here and here. We believe that critical and independent thinking are especially important in these changing times. We are in no-one’s pocket to the contrary, as individuals we expose ourselves to professional risks and personal opprobrium by even questioning and trying to test the mainstream narrative. Amongst our number are nine Professors, several of whom are medically qualified, and many others with doctoral level degrees or above. HART is a UK-based team of volunteer experts - senior and junior medics, life and physical scientists, data scientists, lawyers and other professionals - who have pooled their professional expertise to test the dominant narrative in the best traditions of scientific discourse. The very essence of the scientific method is to advance challenging hypotheses and to seek to disprove them. Perhaps they didn’t want to draw attention to the antics of Mr Chivers. As tempting as it was to behave in kind, HART offered UnHerd the opportunity to publish this response, which they chose not to do. What is more, he did this without offering HART an opportunity to comment before publication. In doing so - and by his own account - he “plays the man, not the ball”. In it, he attacked HART, a body of professionals who have called for an investigation into the recent large unexplained rise in deaths of males aged 15 to 19 years old. Tom Chivers recently wrote an article in UnHerd defending the use of Covid vaccines in children. Due to this, Phillips assumed he was immune and didn’t need to get vaccinated.Are child deaths acceptable ‘collateral damage’? The first time was in January 2020, and a test found that he had antibodies. Phillips told KUSA that he caught the virus twice. He now believes everyone should get vaccinated against COVID-19. But physicality isn’t the only transformation Phillips underwent from his daunting near-death experience. He said his prior ability to “bench press 300 pounds or run a mile straight up a hill” didn’t reduce his symptoms, and he is still on oxygen. He spent 47 days intubated and lost 70 pounds, the Denver Post reported. Up until about two weeks ago, the 56-year-old was in a medically induced coma and was hooked up to a ventilator. The Colorado fitness expert - who worked as a performance nutrition and supplementation expert for the Denver Broncos in the late 1990s and is the author of “Body-for-LIFE” - almost died after a two-month battle with COVID-19 because he didn’t think he needed a vaccine.
