Yes, improve ventilation by not locking well people indoors. E.g using lockdowns.

I realise being very unwell must have been worrying and unpleasant. I presume you excluded having actually caught covid or flu or similar simultaneously which would explain all but the sore arm?
The problems started within hours of the jab with pain and swelling at the site of the jab, and just got worse from there - to have gone down with an illness at exactly the same time as having such an obvious reaction would be a huge coincidence.
Yes it would have been a very unfortunate coincidence to have had the arm reaction likely from the jab and a simultaneous other illness, but these things are not impossible either. More likely than vaccinators switching out vaccines for saline in my opinion though, but both of us are speculating and none of the realities can be proven now.
Which vaccines? Vaccines were not available to children in the UK when the study you posted (dated Dec 2020) was published and infection can't be prevented anyway. By the time vaccines (designed for the original variant) were made available to children, it was a milder omicron variant making its way, by which time many of the population had already caught the virus. For this reason the JCVI never went as far as to recommend the covid vaccines for children. The JCVI deemed the risks (myocarditis and other risks)/reward (most kids don't even know they have it) of vaccination marginal.
No, but infections vary in severity. While most of us (not just children) couldn't have received a dose during 2020, receiving a dose later (including after recovering from infection) can improve ones immune response.
Yes, I know. That wasn't an uncontroversial opinion. I'm sceptical of it. There's a paper published suggesting they just got the calculations wrong, and I'm inclined to believe that one (though I haven't checked the maths). Many (though certainly not all) countries have gone a different way. JCVI also doesn't support chicken pox vaccination (and for a while didn't support HPV vaccination for most boys) so I think it's a bit less keen on vaccines than similar bodies in other countries. I suspect that's for cost reasons but I do wonder if there are other considerations.
@Bruce Stephens @HSSS a simple like of my valid and accurate points would of been suffice.
No. Just saying that when the vaccines were released (under emergency use) they were for emergency use of those at risk of dying or being hospitalised for covid, no mention of vaccinating healthy children.
True.
True and very, very much less likely, certainly not likely enough to lock people in their homes. What would have made more sense would have been to encourage people to get outdoors, fresh air, sunshine, exercise, vit D. That sounds like a better public health measure than stay indoors.
For once you and I agree. I even gave you a like . Shows how much sense you make when you agree with me

I agree - I have no faith in anything useful coming out of this nor people/companies having any meaningful sentencing."The Covid Inquiry opens a window into the unutterable uselessness of our state apparatus.

Britain will be condemned to another Covid-style lockdown. This pathetic Inquiry proves it
Even as the ineptitude of Whitehall is being revealed in its full horror, the focus remains on childish tittle-tattle
The establishment, which turned a drama into a crisis, which bankrupted the country, wrecked the education of millions of children and students, mangled the NHS and launched the biggest attack on personal freedom in modern times, has learned nothing and remembered nothing from the disaster [of Covid-19]

“Covid is just Nature’s way of dealing with old people,” Johnson is reported to have said dismissively.
Same is said of many other vulnerable categories too. Particularly those that remain at very high risk yet have zero precautions in place anymore to protect them - even in medical environments.
The point i've been trying to make over past 3 years or so is, there was something off with the whole pandemic narrative from the very outset to even now. Of all those excess deaths in the so called "first wave" only a proportion were classed as covid (and of them how many were actually covid?). This leaves a lot of non-covid excess deaths in that first wave. So in other words, something else was going on at that very same time.

Gargling and nasal lavage, 4 times daily, which might reduce hospitalisation by about half. And might reduce transmission and so on but they don't really know. Would have been nice to know, I guess, and recommending it would probably have been more effective than obsessing over hand washing (which still seems to be recommended over cleaner air or mask wearing).
So why do you think this age old, easy, known solution (using salt water rinse) wasn't made public in 2020 or thereafter?
I don't know. I'd guess the evidence for hand washing is just better (and presumably had an impact on public health generally). I presume the common cold unit studied it at some point (on colds), and I guess didn't find it that helpful?
