It's time to be absolutely blunt about this governments strategy towards the most clinically vulnerable in our society, the 500,000 + who are immunocompromised @SteveBarclay @CMO_England @DHSCgovuk @NICEComms @evusheld4theuk #evusheld4theuk #EvusheldNow

2/ the strategy is quite simply to offer all of the protections against catching Covid-19 to the wider population through vaccinations, and no protection at all to the most clinically vulnerable, those who are immunocompromised and will have little or no response to vaccinations
3/ The SPC for the latest vaccine clearly show that the response for immunocompromised people is not tested (this wording is not unique to this vaccine)

🧵on being covid aware & cautious when the world says no to that. I’m in a new minority in the UK as someone who hasn’t (knowingly) had a covid infection. Once I understood how contagious C19 was, I understood risks went beyond just me alone but was more about everyone else
2/ Then I considered it was a new unknown to medics & scientists. By March’20 in the uk it was clear too little too late had been done, unprecedented levels of infection, it was traumatic to learn how many were dying everyday at an increasing rate. Definitely something to avoid.
3/ still I thought, what does it do to the people who survive it? Understandably focus remained on levels of mortality. Then I learnt that epidemiologists were very concerned not only about all the visible impacts but also about virus mutation.

I try not to ask folk to RT my Tweets too often, but this is a real plea for you to share.
The immunosuppressed are being denied life-saving treatment to protect us from #Covid. My life has been on hold for over 2 years & I'm desperate now.

#Evusheld is a drug designed to protect clinically vulnerable people against Covid in cases where vaccines don’t work. Evusheld is given prophylactically (that is, in advance) to stop people in this situation developing severe Covid in the first place.

It is impossible to get #Evusheld in the UK, either on the NHS, or privately. Yet it is now available in other comparable countries, such as France, Canada, Israel, & the US and it works. However, the UK Gov't has not yet procured a single dose, despite approval by the MHRA.
