How do doctors stand legally if a patient is vaccine injured?
An interesting correspondance with the Medical Defence Union To: The Medical Defence Union 24th August 2022 Dear MDU advisor, I and a large group of doctors have ongoing concerns about the risk:benefit balance of covid-19 vaccines particularly in children. We have been in correspondence for well over a year with the MHRA, the JCVI and the […]
Kent & Medway NHS is still pushing covid vaccines on teenagers
A concerned parent wrote to HART to share a letter she had received in her son’s bag. With her permission, we would like to publish both the letter, and her very well thought out response.
An independent review of vaccine safety is urgently required: an open letter to MHRA
For the last year, a group of senior health professionals and academics have been writing to regulators and prime ministers asking for a recalculation of their benefit:risk assessment for covid vaccines for children. These were described as marginal when calculated during the Wuhan and Delta waves and as far as we are aware had not been recalculated for omicron or indeed taking account of the wide-spread naturally acquired immunity.
What are these vaccines doing to the nation’s children and where is the benefit?
This week over one hundred health professionals wrote to the MHRA regarding Moderna’s application for a conditional marketing authorisation for Spikevax for babies from 6 months upwards. This baby dose has already been approved in the US and added to their routine immunisation schedule, thus removing any distinction between a novel technology gene-based vaccine rushed to market under the pretext of an ‘EMERGENCY’ and standard vaccines.
Open letter to the JCVI
The MHRA have just authorised Pfizer Cominarty for infants and toddlers. Will the JCVI just fall in line or will they finally show some ethical resolve?

Latest Open Letter to our Latest Prime Minister
Yet another open letter to the Prime Minister on the lack of safety of Covid-19 vaccines for children
How do we support young people post covid?
The Covid era has shown many of us just how broken and dysfunctional the systems around us are when it comes to protecting young people’s emotional health. It’s becoming increasingly obvious that it’s the sick society that we are passing on to future generations that should be the priority target of our interventions for change, rather than the focus being on our young people (and ourselves). No one who works with children would support them to adapt to an abusive home environment so how can we justify supporting them to adapt to a social environment that is harmful for them? Surely it’s time to fully comprehend that the trauma-informed sessions in schools, the damaging psychiatric drugs and endless rounds of short-term counselling are not the answer.
Open Letter to Prime Minister Liz Truss
We, the undersigned health professionals and scientists, have huge concerns about the safety and necessity of Covid-19 vaccines for children, for reasons detailed in the letters enclosed. Between us, we have written numerous letters to the regulators, copied to your predecessor, regarding use of these mRNA products in children.
Covid vaccines for healthy 5-11-year-olds — a ‘one-off offer’
HART has written repeatedly on the question of Covid-19 vaccines for children. Many HART members have also been signatories to open letters to the MHRA and the JCVI on this topic, dating back to May 2021 before the vaccines were even given a conditional authorisation for under 16s.
Covid policies and harms to children updated
Children and young people are the future of any society. They are self-evidently vulnerable and require the care and protection of their families and of the wider community. Prior to the Covid Pandemic, in the UK, the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child was universally endorsed by all professionals whose work involved children and young people.
The latest on vaccination of 5-11
n February 2022, the JCVI in their wisdom, made a ‘non-urgent offer’ of Covid-19 vaccination for healthy children aged 5-11, scheduled to begin in April. It is worth reading the full statement, which hardly makes a strong case.
(Yet) more worrying data on myocarditis in children
Hart recently published an article summarising the results of a study performed in the US military which found that nearly 3% of those vaccinated with smallpox vaccine developed subclinical myocarditis (defined by an increased troponin level – which was prospectively measured in all subjects).
Open Letter to the Secretary of State for Health & Social Care
We, the undersigned health professionals and scientists, call upon you urgently to pause the covid- 19 vaccine rollout for healthy children, while a thorough and independent safety review is undertaken.
Yet another open letter to the MHRA
But are the regulators listening?
Seventy-nine experienced health professionals and academics from the Children’s Covid Vaccines Advisory Council, have sent yet another letter to the MHRA exhorting them not to follow the FDA in authorising Covid-19 products for 0-4-year-olds. We know from past experience that where one regulator goes the others quickly follow.
Open Letter regarding covid vaccines for 0-4 yrs
We are writing to you urgently concerning the announcement that the FDA has granted an Emergency Use Authorisation for both Pfizer and Moderna Covid-19 vaccines in preschool children.
Lockdown Harms to children
From late 2020, the various harms of lockdowns, particularly for children, were becoming apparent, with acknowledgement from the DfE and OFSTED that all was not well. Signs of deterioration in adolescent mental health and increase in domestic violence and child abuse were noted, as summarised by the HART team.
