On Thursday, Chris Whitty, England’s Chief Medical Officer (CMO), attended a select committee hearing where he was questioned on Omicron. During the discourse, the CMO discussed vaccine hesitancy in the population, which he said was approximately 10%. I’m assuming he meant 10% of the adult population because it’s much higher if under 18s are included. He made some valid points as to why people are hesitant and I transcribe his response below.
Excellent. Not holding my breath for answers. I do feel that you have downplayed the very serious vaccine side effects - on #vaccineinjuries on Twitter there is a lot of suffering. Not conspiracy theory or misinformation and Whitty dismissing it as such seems unforgiveable. Teenagers and people in their 20s shaking uncontrollably in total agony. Why his silence on that?
Thanks Sally. I'm not holding my breath either which is a shame as it loses public trust if some of these simple questions aren't answered. I didn't downplay the side effects, I just didn't spend much time on them because I wanted to keep it as brief as possible so somebody might actually read it but I will do in another post.
Yes, of course, and going on about the side effects can stop people listening. But I think for many, the reports of very numerous and often serious (and tortuous - leading to suicide in some) side effects is such a huge part of this and there is total silence on it from governments and media, which definitely does not do anything for trust. Conservative Woman featured a very alarming report from nurse whistleblowers, and frontline doctor Sebastian Rushworth says he's seen more harm from the vaccine than the virus. Thank you in advance for any future posts on this.
Excellent letter. Have you sent it or are you going to? These are the sorts of questions journalists should have been asking but any kind of investigative journalism left the building in March 2020.
Excellent letter. I am fed up of the relentless propaganda. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black where misinformation is concerned. You are spot on with people's real concerns. Being labelled "anti vaxxers" is incredibly divisive and biased and downright rude. I am appalled that any health professional would speak in such a derogatory manner about the public exercising their human right to refuse a medical intervention Why would anyone change their mind when they are only having the so called health experts side of things without all of the facts and research that is available, conveniently omitted? A lot are not "anti vaccine" just this "vaccine".

Only digitally, I'm not expecting a response!
Can't wait to hear his responses. /s
Here's a link to an excellent letter responding to Tony Blair calling anyone who is not vaxxed an idiot: https://www.facebook.com/AlexisZane44/posts/3035215353461871

"Being labelled "anti vaxxers" is incredibly divisive and biased and downright rude."
They need someone to demonize, which distracts from answering the actual questions.
Thanks SuperSatan. I thought I'd start with the easier things to prove!
