Disruption to Vaccination Services During Lockdowns Has Driven Down Childhood Immunisation Rates, New Study Finds

by Michael Curzon
28 June 2021 2:57 PM

A review of 35 studies comparing changes in the pattern of childhood vaccinations before and during Covid for Collateral Global has found that obstacles to vaccination services have “[driven] down immunisation rates, especially in disadvantaged people and poorer countries”. The review, led by Carl Heneghan, Jon Brassey, and Tom Jefferson, highlights that this reduction in services has affected over 80 million children under the age of one from countries across the world.

According to the World Health Organisation’s [WHO] first pulse interim survey published in August 2020, 16/91 (18%) of countries reported severe/complete disruption of routine mobile immunization services, and 10% reported disruption to static routine immunisation services. About half of the countries reported partial disruptions of routine immunisation for both health facilities and mobile services. [WHO first-round survey 2020] …

The WHO’s second round national pulse survey from January to March 2021 reported that more than one-third of 135 countries experienced disruptions to immunisation services: routine facility-based disruption occurred in 35 (34%) countries surveyed and outreach immunisation services occurred in 30 (39%) of countries.

Looking at polio vaccination alone, the review found that the drive to vaccinate children was halted in many countries until the second half of 2020. In Pakistan, for instance, the polio vaccine roll-out stopped in April 2020 and the disruption to services resulted in 40 million children missing polio vaccinations. Pakistan was not, unfortunately, an exemption to the rule.

In a hospital centre in Senegal, polio vaccination was reduced from March to August 2020. [Sow A 2020] Data from Sierra Leone on five common vaccinated diseases from Mar 1st, 2020, to Apr 26th, 2020, compared with 2019, reported decreases in vaccination ranging from 50% to 85% depending on the individual vaccine analysed, including the OPV1 vaccine. [Buonsenso D 2021]

In April 2020, The WHO reported that Niger had an outbreak of vaccine-derived poliovirus that affected two children –having suspended the vaccination campaign due to the pandemic. Niger’s last wild polio case was in 2012. Niger joins 15 countries experiencing vaccine-derived poliovirus outbreaks in Africa. No wild poliovirus has been detected in Africa since 2016. Niger joins the list of countries experiencing vaccine-derived poliovirus outbreaks in Africa.

The Collateral Global review is worth reading in full.

Just wait until people find out how many injuries have been caused by these vaccines.

No-one will ever trust the NHS ever again.

If any other medication was causing this much harm to the public the pharmacists and supermarkets would be removing them from their shelves right now.

only 4 million have died with/of covid worldwide in 18 months

that’s similar to asian flu and hong kong flu (estimates 1-4 million) when the world had a lot lower population

covid is heavily weighted towards the very old, so it does confuse old age with covid deaths and there is a suspicion about overcounting, flu on the other hand attacks across the age ranges

we can say in terms of QALYs lost, that covid is minor in comparison. in terms of QALYs, more are lost each year from diarrhea (which gets the young, 1-2 million)

because of this, almost anything that affects the young will outweigh the harms of covid. its hard not to. the above is just 1 example of which there will be many

That’s horrible. So millions of children who were not in the risk groups at all suffered because of the fight against covid. That does not sound like a fight against a virus in the 21st century, does it? Where is the global responsibility?

the lockdowns were/are a catastrophic error. they didn’t take account of the harms.

the only thing the lockdowners have to cling to is what may have happened in the absence of lockdown. they will use their models for that. in the real world we know that without lockdown, the result would be ‘about the same’ but without the collateral damage

So, autism has reached 6% in British schools based on recent figures from Northern Ireland schools where unlike other regions of the British Isles they are actually counting – up from 0.3% in 1999. This catastrophe was brought to you by the same outfit that brought you the Covid debacle – it is the boiling frog principle in action, so people like Michael Curzon can pretend nothing is happening – btw 66% of those with a diagnosis are at the highest level educational need:

Be very cautious with figures based on fashionable medical terms that pretend to diagnoses when they’re actually descriptions of a broad range of symptoms (‘dyslexia’ is another one).

It’s how casedemics happen

You are talking piffle – 66% are severely disabled, there are strict diagnostic criteria, it is crippling and expensive and our health officials can’t, won’t explain it.
I promise you no one – or very few people – want autism as a status symbol. This is just mindless mayhem from governments destroying children. People have idiotic expectations of vaccination – it is supposed to be something for nothing but of course there are costs and the victims and their families just get gaslighted. Just scapegoating the victims.

Rick didn’t say status symbol. He’s not saying autism doesn’t exist. At least, I think not. He’s not dismissing the suffering. If he’s saying that it is a highly subjective umbrella diagnosis, and that there are almost certainly a number of different categories of cause there, and that the overall term autism has held back useful advances in finding cause and treatments, I’m with him. And I am closely concerned with this subject.

Thank you for those perceptive comments, Sandra.

I too have been involved in these issues, and seen the way in which diagnosis has been distorted when pseudo medial definitions are applied to complex symptoms. This is often to the detriment of the children involved, as adults play out their various needs, using the children. Autism, ADHD, and Dyslexia are major vehicles for this.

Innuendo about Munchausen is a distraction: it would not account for massive build programmes for special needs, the terrible bottlenecks in the system, swelling demand for young adult care.

You can mostly only put together what is happening in a piecemeal way through local newspaper reports, but even there the problem is disguised as good news, new facilities opening – never ask why it should be necessary. At the beginning of 2019 I wrote to the CMO (then Sally Davies) about the problem for which she had no explanation:

“local newspaper reports”

Likely to be highly inaccurate! Believe me.

“new facilities opening”

Partly to do with (a) schools getting rid of ‘problems’ – always the case, but which has worsened as the fragmentation and gradgrindery has happened and (b) opportunism in meeting that need.

… and then you finally get to the question of what is the underlying reality – and it’s impossible to tell.

Sorry, you are just indulging in innuendo (while admitting you don’t know what is happening). You have to look at the newspaper reports which actually contain specific local government data. And the problem is that we are not dealing with a few wacky parents but an incredibly costly burden of unprecedented neurological impairment in the young population. Haringey report the doubling of young adults with learning difficulties requiring support between 2013-22. What the hell is that? No local authority would want to shoulder such a burden if it was not absolutely necessary.

Incidence of SIDS reduced during lockdown in the US, referenced in BMJ quick responses. Infant deaths under one year basically fall into 3 groups: genetic life limiting illness, accidents, and unexplained. Apparently unexplained incidences all but disappeared while doctors offices shut and no vaccinations took place.

No parent is ever believed when reporting changes in behaviour, symptoms etc., dismissed out of hand. Utterly disgraceful. Meanwhile there is a holocaust of brain damage, gut problems and behavioural issues amongst children. Many of them will never become fully functional adults, it is a tragedy. Look at the eyes, and facial features, for imbalances and assymetry which can be potential indicators of neurological damage, as a huge area of brain controls eyes and face. I actually think that blood clot issues are widespread for all vaccines, manifesting as a huge variety of symptoms depending on where the damage occurs. In the brain stem – fatal. On autopsy, some HPV vaccine deaths show the virus in the brain.

Does anyone really believe that Politicians and the “health advisors” give a stuff about Children, they don’t, Children don’t vote, Children don’t pay union subs. And Children are nice quiet recipeients of experimental drugs, what does it matter if a few die or become handicapped? the parents will be blamed, the politicians, the healht experts and Bill Gates get to make lots and lots more money.

The Globalists behind the Genocide programme will be cock- a-hoop with this, particularly if it had not been factored in. Most probably though they were anticipating this or indeed pushed for it.

A dire reflection on the worldwide capitulation of TPTB.

What a dreadful state the world has sunk to. All to suit the evil machinations of a few.

This is not going to end well, not for humanity and not for the Globalists. At some point their plans will spiral out of their control and this review may be the first such indication.

This is great news. Polio only persists in the subcontinent because they continue to use DDT, and basically that’s what it is, DDT poisoning. Vaccines are insane. Any disruption to the delivery of genocide by this obscene method is very welcome news. Hopefully the entire vaccine industry crashes and burns and frees humanity from this vehicle of mass death and destruction.

That about sums it up.

Vaccines have a place, but they are not a cure-all, and have a useful but modest, targeted place in improving health in the great scheme of things.

What we’re seeing is an unproven snake oil pushed for profit in a situation that has no justification. That harms useful medication.

Conventional wisdom has it that vaccines do more good than harm, that lockdown is a beneficial policy and that the new gene therapy ‘warp speed’ vaccines are salvation in a syringe.
If you are willing to investigate all these issues with an open mind it turns out that all three are extremely damaging to mankind.

Vaccination is junk science.
A study was recently carried out comparing vaccinated children to unvaccinated children at one American Doctor’s practice.
The overall health of the unvaccinated was massively better.
Of course the likes of the CDC and FDA consistently refuse to conduct a nationwide study comparing the health outcomes of the vaxxed versus unvaxxed, think of all the profits that would be lost if people stopped offering up their children to the vaccinators?

My teen daughter’s class should have had their second HPV* jab at school last summer. Pupils were summoned by letter to a local NHS vaccination centre to get it. She says she’s the only one that went. Not exactly a scientific survey, I know, but still a useful indicator of a failure of routine treatment.

HPV – Human Papilloma Virus; a known link to cervical cancer, so expect that particuar lockdown legacy to manifest itself in about 20 years time.

At least, hopefully, this will merit looking into the whole obsession with the vaccination of children. The situation in the US is way OTT relative to the UK. But society generally has become complacent over the years about jabbing stuff into perfectly functioning young bodies believing that science and technology are ahead of the game. They are not.

Adding ‘actual’ to the headline between “to” and “Vaccination Services” would be about right. It’s entirely probable that there will be a negative effect, albeit unintended (lets be generous) of the policy being carried out.
