Why does ATAGI recommend COVID-19 mRNA injections for all children aged 5 to 11 years?
Note: The COVID-19 virus does not exist so nobody is at risk of catching it but this is an important piece to share with the general population who are starting to become suspicious.
It appears children are at low risk of COVID-19 – so why does the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) recommend COVID-19 mRNA injections for all children aged 5 to 11 years?
According to Operation COVID Shield, 52.79% of children aged 5-11 years have had one COVID-19 mRNA injection in Australia, with 35.19% having two injections, as at 21 April 2022.
But again, as children are at low risk of COVID-19, why are parents/carers being pressed to have children injected with these novel mRNA pharmaceutical products? Has ‘valid voluntary consent’ been properly obtained before the administration of these medical interventions?
Please see below my email to Nigel Crawforld, Chair of ATAGI, questioning ATAGI’s recommendation for COVID-19 mRNA injections for all children aged 5 to 11 years.

Nigel Crawford, why does ATAGI recommend the use of the paediatric Pfizer COVID-19 injection in all children aged 5 to 11 years in Australia?[1]
ATAGI advice notes “Most children with SARS-CoV-2 infection are asymptomatic or experience a mild illness. Those who are symptomatic typically have a short illness with a median duration of 5 days…” ATAGI also notes that “…children aged 5-11 years…were the least likely of all age groups to require hospitalisation or ICU admission for COVID-19…” ATAGI also notes: “Deaths in children due to COVID-19 are rare. Data from the United Kingdom suggest that 2 per every 1 million children infected with the virus died of COVID-19.”
ATAGI advice indicates most children have an effective natural immune response to SARS-CoV-2 and are at low risk of disease, i.e. COVID-19.
Q.1. What is the independent and objective scientific evidence underpinning ATAGI’s recommendation that children aged 5 to 11 years have two injections of the TGA provisionally approved Pfizer COVID-19 COMIRNATY mRNA pharmaceutical product?[2]
Q.2. Does the paediatric Pfizer COVID-19 mRNA injection for children aged 5 to 11 years prevent infection and transmission of SARS-CoV-2?
Q.3. What are the long term risks of initiating COVID-19 novel mRNA injections in children, such as the Pfizer COVID-19 mRNA injection?
Q.4 What impact will this medical intervention have on children’s natural immune response to SARS- CoV-2 going forward?
Q.5 Is it planned to give children regular COVID-19 injections in future, as appears to be being set up across the broader population, with the securing of 280 million doses of COVID-19 injections to support the COVID-19 injection roll-out[3] for Australia’s population of 26 million, i.e. more than 10 doses for everyone in Australia?
Q.6 What is the scientific rationale for giving COVID-19 mRNA injections to individuals at low risk from COVID-19?
Q.7 Where is the independent and objective scientific evidence demonstrating the safety of novel mRNA injections for children?
Health care practitioners are administering the Pfizer COVID-19 mRNA injections to children:
Q.8. Have any health care practitioners questioned why ATAGI recommends these COVID-19 mRNA
injections for children given children’s low risk of COVID-19?
Young children are relying on their parents/carers to provide ‘valid voluntary consent’ to the COVID-19 mRNA injections on their behalf. Parents must be properly informed of the risks of ‘the virus’/disease relevant to age and health status:
Q.9. Are health care practitioners being reminded of their ethical responsibility to obtain ‘valid voluntary consent’ before administration of the COVID-19 mRNA injections, as stipulated in the section on ‘Valid consent’ in The Australian Immunisation Handbook?[4] For example, valid consent “must be given voluntarily in the absence of undue pressure, coercion or manipulation” and “It can only be given after the potential risks of the relevant vaccine, the risks of not having it, and any alternative options have been explained to the person”.
Nigel Crawford, I request your early response to my questions.
Sincerely
