[FW comment: This overview of "expert" opinions should in no way be taken at face value. Economic and political considerations colour every statement made by men and women who are this densely enmeshed in the Covid narrative. Nevetheless, it is a useful reminder that even in the heart of clinical academic medicine, many doctors are not on board with the experimental vaccination of children.]
Germany has decided to tighten even further its siege against the unvaccinated, declaring that vaccination will be mandatory from February, just as the President of the European Union, Ursula Von der Leyen had proposed earlier this week that “It is time to discuss mandatory vaccination.”

What most confounds the medical and scientific community is the lack of data, studies and transparency in reporting adverse effects, especially when the subject is the vaccination of children aged between 5 and 11.
The chairman of the Vaccination Committee at the Robert Koch Institute in Germany, Thomas Mertens, has explained that based on the data currently available, he would not vaccinate his children.
According to the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, one of the most respected newspapers in Germany, the head of the commission responsible for Covid medications says that the authorisation studies "do not have enough data" on the compatibility of the vaccine for children between 5 and 11 years old, but that the existing publications do not demonstrate that long-term damage is possible.
“I would not vaccinate my children against Covid. There is no data or authorization studies on vaccine compatibility in the 5 to 11 year age group. We can't know anything, at the moment, about any long-term damage” – said Thomas Mertens on Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung's ‘Podcast fuer Deutschland’ –
“We must be cautious and make sure the vaccine is compatible. We cannot change our position based on public opinion.”
A study in Germany revealed that the mortality rate in children aged 5 to 11 years cannot be estimated due to the absence of cases in minors who do not have other pathologies.
The survey published on the Medrxiv website concluded the following:
“[R]eliable risk analyses...and case fatality could not be calculated, due to an absence of cases.”
In practice, there is no serious reason to vaccinate children, as the risks in this age group may outweigh the benefits.
Although there is no emergency, nor any concrete danger, the European Medicines Agency and all health agencies, decided to join the US FDA, even though in the authorisation granted by them weeks ago, they recognised exactly what Dr. Mertens said, that is, the verification of any adverse effects will take time and these data can only be obtained with certainty over the next five years, i.e. when side effects can be evaluated in a sufficiently significant sample of minors. This means that the evaluation will be done a posteriori, once the vaccine has already been injected.
Dr. Michael Kurilla, head of the clinical division of the American National Institutes of Health (NIH) did not vote in favor of authorising the marketing of the drug, considering that for healthy children the risk/benefit ratio is not clear, therefore, of a low risk of becoming seriously ill from Covid, minors have a potential risk of serious reactions such as myocarditis
Dr. Eric Rubin, editor-in-chief of the New England Journal of Medicine and professor of immunology at the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health and Brigham and Women's Hospital, admitted according to TIME magazine that “We decided to go for it with a lot of heavy conscience. But I'm hoping that this is the start of learning more about it.”
Dr. James Hildreth, a member of the FDA advisory committee and chair of the Meharry School of Medicine in Nashville, despite voting in favor of the authorisation, revealed that vaccination serves to protect adults, not children “whereas it should be the other way around.”
Anyway, there are more doubts than certainty, and these are not limited to Germany and the United States, where the vaccination of children began weeks ago. In France, the French Society of Pediatrics and the Society of Infectious Pathology, together with the Committee on Pediatrics and the Association of Outpatient Pediatrics issued a statement saying that the vaccination of children under 12 “is not currently urgent”.
The statements by Dr Thomas Mertens of Germany came just hours after the announcements by the German health minister, Jens Spahn, who became known worldwide for his shocking statement:
“Almost all Germans at the end of winter will be vaccinated, recovered or dead.”
Spahn said "Pediatric vaccines will be available a week ahead of expectations in Europe, that's good news." The Stiko commission, however, has always been very cautious in recommending Covid vaccines for minors. As for the age group from 12 to 18 years old, in fact, the commission chaired by Thomas Mertens had recommended the administration of vaccines only to teenagers at higher risk, carriers of pathologies and chronic diseases.

Even in the face of so many testimonies from doctors and specialists calling for more caution and time to apply vaccination to minors, governments and their dictatorial politicians continue to pressure for vaccination in the name of science, but without listening to real science - the science that requires significant time intervals, as well as ethics and responsibility towards human life.
