HEALTH Secretary Sajid Javid today blasted anti-vaccine protesters targeting pupils at schools gates in London — warning that spreading false information about the Covid jab was “irresponsible, dangerous and costs lives”.
The Cabinet minister unleashed withering criticism of their actions after the Evening Standard highlighted how children were being left upset by campaigners who were handing out leaflets outside schools and in at least one case filming pupils.
Mr Javid said: “It is completely unacceptable for anyone to intimidate pupils and teachers. This appalling behaviour must stop. The vaccines are safe, effective and have built a huge wall of defence around us that is keeping the virus at bay.”
Nearly 3,000 new confirmed Covid-19 cases were announced for London yesterday, with by far the highest infection rate among children aged 10 to 14, followed by the 15 to 19 age group.
