However, according to Mr Chivers, we are ‘odd’, ‘deeply strange’ people. He writes some helpful articles, and we are happy to plug his latest book on How to Read Numbers, a skill that seems to be sorely lacking in this current day and age. Tom Chivers is the Science Editor of UnHerd, as well as being “far too nice to be a journalist” (at least according to Terry Pratchett). It is therefore quite surprising – to say the least – to be on the receiving end of some rather unusual commentary in UnHerd for scrutinising the prevailing narrative of the day. We believe that the careful consideration of such concerns is crucial for safeguarding children. Given that the Office for National Statistics has accepted that the 2021 increase in young male deaths is a statistically significant increase, we believe that Covid injections for young people should be halted immediately, pending further information gathering and detailed interrogation of the underlying data. As well as HART members, this letter was signed by over 80 experienced clinicians and academics, with Professors and health professionals from every speciality including public health, epidemiology, microbiology, immunology, emergency medicine, paediatrics and specialists in genomics and the pharmaceutical industry. You can read our recent letter to the UK Health Authorities regarding our concerns about very worrying signals that Covid injections may have caused death in children and young adults here. In essence, children will not benefit sufficiently to justify the known and unknown risks. We continue to challenge what we think is flawed reasoning for giving children injections against Covid: see here, here and here. We believe that critical and independent thinking are especially important in these changing times. We are in no-one’s pocket to the contrary, as individuals we expose ourselves to professional risks and personal opprobrium by even questioning and trying to test the mainstream narrative. Amongst our number are nine Professors, several of whom are medically qualified, and many others with doctoral level degrees or above. HART is a UK-based team of volunteer experts - senior and junior medics, life and physical scientists, data scientists, lawyers and other professionals - who have pooled their professional expertise to test the dominant narrative in the best traditions of scientific discourse. The very essence of the scientific method is to advance challenging hypotheses and to seek to disprove them. Perhaps they didn’t want to draw attention to the antics of Mr Chivers. As tempting as it was to behave in kind, HART offered UnHerd the opportunity to publish this response, which they chose not to do. What is more, he did this without offering HART an opportunity to comment before publication. In doing so - and by his own account - he “plays the man, not the ball”. In it, he attacked HART, a body of professionals who have called for an investigation into the recent large unexplained rise in deaths of males aged 15 to 19 years old. Tom Chivers recently wrote an article in UnHerd defending the use of Covid vaccines in children. Are child deaths acceptable ‘collateral damage’?
