Australia admits COVID vaccine risks outweigh benefits?

With the US authorities announcing that healthy American children will no longer be recommended to receive COVID-19 vaccines, due to a lack of evidence (source), the Australian government does likewise, though with far more damning language: “Healthy infants, children and adolescents aged <18 years are not recommended to receive COVID-19 vaccine… COVID-19 vaccine is not recommended for healthy infants, children or adolescents who do not have medical conditions that increase their risk of severe illness. This is because the risk of severe illness was extremely low in this cohort over the course of the pandemic, and benefits of vaccination are not considered to outweigh the potential harms.” Source.

Update: Following the references used by the Australian government I found that they were a couple of years old (not easy to find, but check here). So they knew, or should have known, about this for years, yet didn’t make appropriate recommendations. Legal actions, indeed.
