Covid jabs for teenagers to improve mental health

The vaccine will not prevent you from catching or transmitting the virus.

It will reduce the chances of catching or transmitting the virus (by around 50%), thereby lowering its reproductive rate. Combined with other measures, if the reproductive rate can be brought below 1, then the virus will no longer spread.

Quite simple really.

As a side benefit the vaccines reduces the chance of getting ill and of dying if you do get infected.

As kids are much less likely to die than adults and less likely to get seriously ill, it makes sense politically and economically to give vaccines intended for 12-15 year olds this academic year to other countries.

Foreign aid is basically using soft power and so would be giving vaccines to other specific countries.

The kids don't normally die or get seriously ill but they do transmit and their grannies who can't have the vaccine tend to die.


We could just help the other countries to make more vaccines in their own country and let them vaccinate themselves.

I'm sorry, mental health isn't a medical issue?

My point is mental health has not been a consideration in any of the lockdowns and it has been always about "saving lives".
So I find it inconsistent and actually confusing that he now uses mental health as a reason for the jab.
