#covid19 : après l'#Evusheld (anticorps monoclonaux) c'est donc le #Paxlovid (antiviral) qui perd en efficacité à mesure que le #SARSCoV2 mute, ce que la quasi disparition des mesures de #prévention favorise. ⤵️

So, exasperated with the total lack of mitigations against a pandemic, I settled in to write one of my verbose threads...then realised I'd done it already and the situation hasn't really changed much...aside from getting worse!

We STILL have next to no

investment into the future of clean air, no public awareness of viral prevalence (SARS-CoV2, and its' mates), little ability to act altruistically because testing has evaporated and supported isolation remains a figment of most people's imagination...there's nothing safeguarding
our workplaces, schools, universities, public transport, shops or other public spaces, no masks, mis/dis-information is rife and anti-vax narratives now echo round the house of commons thanks to certain feckless mockeries of public representatives...

Most people think the COVID

1/x 🧵This Friday at 10:30am, we're excited to announce the reboot of the #forgotten500K campaign with an update from the podcasts hosted by @claremenglish, @MarkOak04974342, @NikolaBrigden. Here's the message for 2023 in advance. RT. 👇
2/x "The #forgotten500K are a group of immunocompromised patients who have not been prioritized during the pandemic and are experiencing higher ongoing levels of risk. The group started off as individuals asking for help while still in isolation during the pandemic.
3/x They were speaking as individuals trying their best to be heard virtually, as they were not able to leave their homes and re-enter normal life like everyone else. However, the #forgotten500K patient campaign brought them together, providing support and one voice. amazing

When will the clinically vulnerable stop being collateral damage, @RishiSunak? When will the #Forgotten500k get the same chance to survive this as everyone else? I need #Evusheld to safely access healthcare and daily life again.

(1/7) I've lost so much of myself to shielding. My life has ground to a halt, I'm socially isolated, and the constant trauma of knowing that people have decided that my life is worth less than the inconvenience of wearing a mask, including doctors, is utterly draining.
(2/7) I've had to withdraw from the Uni course that I worked through horrendous illness for years to get onto, because they no longer support remote learning, and treated my reluctance to risk serious illness as anxiety to be 'gotten over'. The stress made me physically ill.

This is a really important paper. Some have said it's a bad news story...
The question is should £1bn have been spent on this drug in 2021 following just a prelim analysis of a much smaller trial...
However, before we start, bravo @ChrisColButler & team👏

First, a little on molnupiravir (Lagevrio).
This is a nucleoside drug, or "nuc", originally named EIDD-2801 by scientists at Emory University. It was named Molnupiravir after Thor's hammer, Mjölnir.
Nucs are the building blocks of genetic material, so RNA or DNA. Nucs are a well
established class of agents used against RNA viruses as they target a unique feature of these viruses - the RNA dependent RNA polymerase, an enzyme that makes more RNA using RNA as a template. We don't have these in mammalian cells, so the idea is you can target this selectively

1/x Several months ago, @katebingham2 drove the UK pandemic response. She is incredible 🦸‍♀️- thanks for your insight. But then she finished and something extraordinary happened. The Winter plan to protect the #immunocompromised was quietly dropped....😫 Why does it matter? 🤷🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️
2/x Because it had widespread clinical & academic backing for our 2022 Winter plan. Cohorts were identified & large teams of clinicians worked around the clock to work out which of #immunocompromised who don't have high levels of protection from vaccination could be protected 👩‍⚕️ Image
3/x This would have put us in line with 32 countries who were protected their #immunocompromised during the Winter months when COVID cases rise. If you don't respond to vaccines 💉, then your risk of hospitalisation, ITU admission & not recovering from COVID is 📈 Image

1/x 🧵 ***NEW RESEARCH 👨‍🔬 *** About #immunocompromised #forgotten500k #cancer. It's a BIG paper, analysing the global data 🗺️. Answers the question- how big is the issue of absent immune responses following covid vaccines. @BrJCancer by @michaeltilby nature.com/articles/s4141… 💛💚
2/x Why did they do it? Because 1⃣ cancer patients are at high risk from covid 📈 2⃣ Many don't get an immune response to vaccines 💉 3⃣ They wanted to find the scale of the problem 💥. So they decided to go global! 🌐
3/x. The team searched 3065 papers published from the start of vaccination to March 2022. They looked at third dose boosters 💉. They looked across all cancer types. They found 15 studies encompassing 1205 patients🧑‍🤝‍🧑. The largest global review 🌍

Here’s a plan for your ‘trial’ of #Evusheld .. Buy it for the #Forgotten500k NOW, and observe what happens. You’ll soon see how effective it is with Omicron. I’ll sign any release you want.. any disclaimer. You can have all the glory. But an RCT?👇
How long would it take? How many would sign up for it? Do you think ppl who’ve been shielding for so long to protect themselves would be willing to risk being given a placebo, knowing they risk death? Be serious.
What you’re proposing is unethical and makes no sense. Wake up!👇
P.S. Had to delete previous post on this to get rid of an irksome, poisonous little imp. Apologies to all those who had liked and shared before.

This was one..

1/x 🧵Let's talk about cancer patients, #immunocompromised, our UK #forgotten500k and COVID. Here's a incredible article by @EnnalsEthan at the @MailOnline and @DailyMailUK. Full post here 👉 dailymail.co.uk/health/article…. Here's what it reports.....
2/x The father unable to hug his teenage daughter 🫂, a retired nurse 👩‍⚕️unable to walk down the streets, the heartbreaking stories of the Britons with health conditions that mean they are still in self-isolation, shielding from COVID-19. They are the #immunocompromised ♥️🤎💜💙💚
3/x Imogen Dempsy said "my blood test show I have no protection against COVID-19". There is a drug that would provide protection to those that don't respond to the covid vaccines 😷👍. BUT...Evusheld is only available in the UK only to patients who are willing to pay for it. 😢

More concerning evidence on BA.4.6.

@NEJM finds today that BA.4.6 produces low antibody titers, including if previously infected with any "omicron," vaxxed, or boosted.

VERY low titers. VERY soon after infection (Mdn 21 days) or booster (Mdn 17 days).

1/3 Graph: BA.4.6 produces low antibody titers among those very
These antibody findings in NEJM are consistent with the FDA research suggesting the pre-exposure prophylactic #Evusheld my yield 1,000x reduced response against BA.4.6.

It's almost like unmitigated spread lets viruses evolve? 🤣

fda.gov/media/154701/d…

2/3 Table: Evusheld may have 1,000x reduced response against BA.
Moral of the BA.4.6 story:

Stock up on high-quality #masks like the 3M N95 Aura 9210 (medium, fits most) or 3M N95 Flex (9105/large or 9105S/small). Better yet, get a @flo_mask (adult and child sizes).

Buy HEPA filters (many) or build #CorsiRosenthalBox's

1/x 🧵 Regarding #Evusheld on Bupa. I am *BEYOND SHOCKED*. If you are immunocompromised with cancer, autoimmune disease, kidney disease or on immunocompromised want COVID protection, you won't get it on the NHS. Your only choice is to go to private healthcare 🏥 #forgotten500k Image
2/x It feels wrong that if you are #immunocompromised and wealthy 💸, then you will get coronavirus protection, BUT... if you are #immunocompromised and poor 🪙👛, you can't. This is going to cause equality based on how much you earn. This doesn't feel right or British. 🇬🇧 Image
3/x Thanks @EnnalsEthan for unshielding this tactic to have covid protection only in the private, but not NHS. #immunocompromised patients just want to hug loved ones and see family 🫂. Do they have a valid choice? Does health need you to be rich? BIG QUESTIONS. @libdemdaisy Image

3/x Some hope? Maybe @RobertJenrick has not yet to be tested and maybe he might see the right solution here. After all, HEALTH 💪should be for all, COVID PROTECTION 🧑‍🚀should be for all, COMPASSION should be for all 🫂. This ad from today now seems much most apt👇👇🙁😢 Image

1/ A 🧵- I support the #Forgotten500k who are being denied the lifesaving treatment #Evusheld. Please read my previous thread for more background @RobertJenrick @theresecoffey @Jeremy_Hunt @DHSCgovuk @evusheld4theuk @APPG_VGP
2/ The immunocompromised continue to be denied access to this treatment despite compelling clinical evidence and supporting data, and extensive support from clinicians and patient support groups. There is fantastic advocacy for the use of #Evusheld from @drlennardlee
3/ @libdemdaisy recently raised this issue in Parliament (thank you) and one of the reasons @RobertJenrick gave for not procuring Evusheld for the immunocompromised is that it might give them a false sense of security and cause them to change their behaviours. Yes seriously!

1/x 🧵 ***NEW RESEARCH *** from @EdinburghUni. The paper is relevant for the #immunocompromised and #evusheld and #forgotten500k. It really acts as a WAKE UP & ACT call. It a good paper. thelancet.com/journals/lance… Image
2/x What's the background? The pandemic continues. 👾Some people are at excess risk and can't hug loved ones, see family or enter normal life 😢. We all believe they are the #immunocompromised, but what does the data show? 💻 Image

1/x 🧵Worried to be thrown into a big Berlin protest #whs2022. I am here for #immunocompromised patients and learn about better covid prevention. Now there’s protester glued to the buildings, shouting 😡 at the 3500 conferences attendees about climate change. Police have arrived.
2/x This all is not good. Global collective approaches are essential. People must talk. Leaders must talk. Then there should be action. When people don’t feel there is transparency and have to protest, something has gone DEEPLY wrong.
3/x There must be DEEP trust and transparency in leaders. We must bring the public with us and explain the pros and cons. There should not be closed doors. These are key messages that the @IAPartnership are pushing and trained us to deliver. Protests=failure

1/x 🧵 I was thrilled to be talk to @Chikwe_I, WHO assistant Director-General of Health Emerrgency intelligence at @WorldHealthSmt. We talked about protecting #immunocompromised. As an global leader, he had insight about working at system interfaces for change. #incrediblesummit Image
2/x. He talked about how systems must learn & maintain learning. He talked about a lot of the new talent and expertise generated, particularly entrenching change. He talked about @PeterHorby & other oxford wins, like vaccination. I couldn't believe Oxford had such global reach.
3/x. He was also very gracious with me. I explained the #forgotten500k plan to protect UK immunocompromised patients. He notes that protecting the #immunocompromised and those with cancer who don't respond to #vaccination is a global issue. I told him about antibody therapies.

1 @JNkengasong is a key global leader on public health, Special Representative for Global Health Diplomacy & prev. director of Africa CDC. He led Africa's COVID-19 response. He was awarded the @virchowprize and was generous with his time . This is what I learnt #forgotten500k
2/x He said it is important to raise awareness of COVID-19. Many are suffering & people are still being hospitalisation & not recovering from it. 🧐 Health advocacy is important 💪. You must speak truth 🔊, use expertise, work for patients to appropriately lead emergency plans.
3/x He said it is important to acknowledge that we stand on the shoulders of giants, but it is also important for the new generation of health scientists 🧪 to show the way forwards when there are new ideas that can help and where there is experience. 🙂. His career showed this.
