The Citizen Participation and Public Petitions Committee will conclude its work this Parliament in March 2026 ahead of the next Scottish Parliament election. So the Committee has time to complete its work, it has agreed not to consider petitions submitted after 10 October.
The Committee will continue to meet but given the volume of petitions and agreed work programme it is unlikely that the Committee would be able to meaningfully progress work on petitions submitted after 10 October ahead of the election. Petitions lodged after this date will not fall when the Parliament is dissolved and will be for the successor committee to consider in the new session.
If you are seeking urgent action or policy change please contact one of your 8 MSPs or the Scottish Government directly.
Closed petition PE1899: Conduct a risk benefit analysis prior to providing those under 16 with Covid-19 vaccination
Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to conduct an inquiry into the risks and benefits of providing Covid-19 vaccinations to those under 16 years old.
Previous action taken
I have sent emails to my MP/MSP to request assistance in this matter, but no action was taken.
I have done a great deal of research on Covid 19 vaccinations and children worldwide.
Background information
Dr Robert Malone, inventor of mRNA technology utilised in the Covid 19 vaccine development, said that there was "not enough risk benefit analysis for that age group" and that the "CDC advisory group said there is a 'likely link' between rare cases of heart inflammation in that age group and the COVID-19 vaccine"
Additionally, Professor Dingwall, a sociologist at Nottingham Trent University, has previously told MailOnline the risk-benefit for vaccinating children is 'increasingly precarious' as you move down the age groups. He cited a paper in the Lancet showing that people aged five to 17 suffer serious illness from Covid 'very rarely', adding: 'The risk-benefit ratio for vaccination compared with infection becomes increasingly precarious as we move down from 30-year-olds into younger age groups."
I truly believe that more research needs to go into this before vaccinating our precious children.
