Britain's vaccine advisers said they were not recommending the vaccination of all 12- to 15-year-olds against COVID-19, preferring a precautionary approach in healthy children due to a rare side effect of heart inflammation.

The advice could see Britain pursue a different approach to the United States, Israel and some European countries, which have rolled out vaccinations to children more broadly.

However a final decision has not been taken, as the British government said it would consult medical advisers to look at other factors, such as disruption to schools.

Many politicians and some scientists have spoken out in favour of vaccinating more children amid concern that COVID-19 could spread in schools that are re-opening after summer holidays, further disrupting education.

Y'all, maybe it's the engineer in me, but it shakes me when our infrastructure is shown to be so close to the edge. It wouldn't take long for things to get really ugly if drinking water were suddenly unavailable.

You don't have to be an engineer to be terrified at what's happening....

I think very few people, or maybe the correct way to say it is, not enough people really grasp the many ways we will all be impacted by hospitals overflowing... I think it's completely "out of sight, out of mind" for so many people.

And those guns won't do them any good at dealing with a water supply problem... or after getting in a car accident and discovering they can't have their otherwise totally survivable injuries treated.
