Derek Mackie: Wanted - Children's entertainer to promote Covid vaccination in under 12's

The following is an extract from a Situation Vacant advertisement published recently:

  

“Children’s entertainer wanted for a 6-week tour with the Ministry of Health (promoting vaccination). Would be wanted for 1-6 weeks from February 8th, depending on availability, and would visit 2 schools per day. 

…..please reply and let me know what your performance would be, previous experience and availability.” 

 Not satisfied with parents independently discussing and deciding on vaccinating their younger children, our socialist government has decided to assume this role. This is reminiscent of failed Communist regimes and their authoritarian approach to ensure compliance through propaganda in schools, universities and workplaces. 

It would appear that the MoH believes that making the kids laugh and have fun is the best strategy to ensure a high vaccination take-up rate. Maybe they plan to engage an adult entertainer to persuade reluctant parents. 

 A number of articles have been published on this website highlighting the unknown long-term effects of mRNA vaccines and the significant potential long-term risks to young children of getting vaccinated, versus the very low risks from contracting the virus itself. 

Needless to say, none of this has appeared in the mainstream media. 

 In light of this, I decided to compose a “performance” that reflected the full picture, as opposed to the government’s blinkered version. 

I am not anti-vaccination and have been vaccinated myself. However, I do have concerns about mRNA vaccines and, as things stand, I don’t believe they should be given to under 12’s until they have been proven safe. 

 I openly declare that I have no experience as a children’s entertainer and even if I did I would not be available for the tour. 

Though I’m sure my application would be rejected as misinformation and I’d miss even the first cut.

Hi Kids! I’m here today to tell you all about the Covid vaccine in a way that’s easy to understand and is fun too. So, everybody clap! Here we go…. 

Now listen good to me 

If you’re under twelve 

It’s time to join the vaccine club 

With everyone else 

It’s not been fully tested 

But it ought to be fine 

And playtime’s cancelled if you choose to decline 

Woah, get the Covid vaccine 

Woah, get the Covid vaccine 

Woah, get the Covid vaccine 

Sleeve up 

Eyes closed 

Ow-ow-ow! 

But why do young kids need it? 

I can hear you say 

When the risk from Covid’s miniscule 

That’s what the stats convey 

Us young uns ain’t just lab rats 

To be experimented on 

And who’s to blame if it all goes wrong? 

Woah, get the Covid vaccine 

Woah, get the Covid vaccine 

Woah, get the Covid vaccine 

Sleeve up 

Eyes closed 

Ow-ow-ow! 

Come on, you know it’s safe 

‘Cause Jacinda says its so 

Both Mum and Dad have had it 

Now the needle’s primed to go 

It should be hunky dory 

For the next few years or so 

But health problems may emerge as you grow 

Woah, get the Covid vaccine 

Woah, get the Covid vaccine 

Woah, get the Covid vaccine 

Sleeve up 

Eyes closed 

Ow-ow-ow! 

      All together now, children! 

So, put your left arm in 

Your right arm out 

Roll up your sleeve 

But don’t shake it all about 

You won't feel a thing 

OK - that’s a pork pie 

Or refuse and you might just die! 

Woah, get the Covid vaccine 

Woah, get the Covid vaccine 

Woah, get the Covid vaccine 

Sleeve up 

Eyes closed 

Ow-ow-ow!
