The UK's vaccine advisory body has refused to give the green light to vaccinating healthy children

2. From an overarching societal perspective this is insanity...

Leaving 15-20% of your population categorically and purposely unvaccinated (they're talking 12-15 but obviously under12 is also unvaxxed), right off the top never mind the additional antivaxxers, is going to ensure you never keep new strains (which may evade vaccine- or prior infection-immunity) from developing.

It's very much in line with conservative "rugged individualism" bullshit wherein everyone behaves like a psychopathic asshole, though.

It is frankly immoral, IMO, to parse the difference between six and two deaths per million in one particular age cohort, when the result of making that distinction is continued constant exposure of the general public to an airborne infectious disease which kills hundreds to thousands per million in other age cohorts.
