Every week in the UK hundreds of people are dying all year around in hospitals. This is because we have an airborne virus and the government guidance is incorrectly based on droplet transmission. Even though medical staff are aware that clinically vulnerable people aren’t all ..
Protected from #COVID by antivirals or vaccines and that many patients of all ages in this group are dying before their time , staff have chosen to follow the government guidelines and not wear a mask.
I realise this isn’t all staff but to the ones who have dropped masks imagine how terrifying it is for patients. Do you think this is kind medical care? Why have you supported the Tories over caring for patients? I am really disappointed in hospitals. #RightToLife

Some medical staff are really angering higher risk patients. Many are opposed to the government policy of removing masks. By not masking and not taking into account many patients individual risks you are upsetting patients.
Realise that hundreds of thousands never had a vaccine. UKHSA have stopped vaccines for many people. Do NOT ask patients in this position to remove their masks! They have real health risks and COVID is not mild.
Stop following this ableist policy that discriminated against vulnerable patients.

The amount of pain and suffering that not wearing a mask in a hospital is causing to so many patients and so many families is heartbreaking. I don’t feel I can hold back any longer in saying that staff should know better. They are seeing the result. Following blindly advice that
is causing harm to patients is wrong. This is not responsible medical practise. I feel it also breaches #righttolife. You are not doing everything you could do to protect your patients. You have a ‘duty of care’. This week I read a story about a young child having Cancer
treatment. She caught COVID in the hospital off the staff and is fighting for her life. This is ideology not science.

Populists put so much weight on opinion polls. Decisions on continuing with preventions should never be based on what’s popular. Most people love to eat sweets but it’s not good for us to do that all the time. This is about wearing a mask to avoid infecting someone who will..
become ill and potentially even die due to health conditions. Covid is not a cold, people get blood clots and heart attacks from covid infections.
A mask, testing over someone’s life. Really? One day better vaccines/sprays and clean air will come along. Infections will then be low and we truly will be living with covid in a safer way.

THIS👇🏼

The apathy repeatedly demonstrated by govt, certain health leaders & HCPs as our #NHS collapses around us resulting in the normalisation of ‘avoidable death/harm’, is staggering.

I never thought I’d see the day that #FirstDoNoHarm became utterly meaningless!
1/3
When we look back at this time & reflect on the thousands of lives that didn’t need to be lost & the millions more that suffered bc of unnecessary bereavement/#LongCovid/#NHS neglect/the end of public health messaging ETC…& wonder how this happened in a civilised society…
2/
….& why we seem to have learnt absolutely nothing from our collective pandemic experience?

Why can’t @DHSCgovuk @NHSEngland see the unacceptable harm done by actively encouraging an individual response to a novel🦠, reinstate a #MasksInHealthcare mandate & upgrade staff😷s?

Myocarditis en pericarditis zijn bekende ernstige bijwerkingen vd corona mRNA-vaccins van @PfizerNL en #Moderna. Dit is een algemeen erkend feit. De bijwerking is sinds de zomer van 2021 geregistreerd bij zowel de Amerikaanse @CDCgov als het Europees medicijnagentschap @EMA_News.
@PfizerNL @CDCgov @EMA_News Het wordt vaak beweerd dat myocarditis en pericarditis vaker voorkomen door een coronainfectie dan door vaccinatie. Daarom zou mRNA-vaccinatie voor jongens en jonge mannen per saldo toch een goed idee zijn...

@PfizerNL @CDCgov @EMA_News Een recent peer-reviewed onderzoek onder 23,1 miljoen inwoners van de Scandinavische landen, gepubliceerd in @JAMACardiology , spreekt dit echter tegen.

Thread Warning - Therapeutic Concerns with the Conversion Therapy Ban

1. The term conversion ‘therapy’ is a misnomer. Even @DrAdamJowett acknowledged it’s “highly misleading”. The vast majority of practices occur in religious/family settings. Yet, they continue to use this term.
2. We cannot even agree on basic definitions of ‘man’, ‘woman’, ‘sex’ or ‘gender’. Poorly worded legislation is a major risk. To include “suppress gender identity” risks outlawing ethical therapeutic practices including pausing for reflection and considering contributing factors.
3. The government consultation is being rushed through in 6 weeks, even though 12 weeks is the normal expectation and status quo. Why is this happening with such a complex and sensitive subject? We must not forget that @stonewalluk called for no consultation whatsoever.

Why would the #JCVI make such a narrow & limited assessment?

And why would their remit be confined to serious illness & hospitalisations in children from #COVID19 when there are so many other issues to consider?

Anyone?

Not to consider #LongCovidKids when so many children are affected is utterly bizarre?

Who advised them not to include #LongCovid?
Does this omission not make their conclusion null & void?

Why not “look at” deaths #JCVI?

The number of children dying of #COVID is thankfully v small, but it is not zero.

We should be aiming for NO CHILD deaths from a disease that we have a safe vaccine against & know how to ⬇️ transmission of.
Why aren’t we?

12-17 vaccineren?
- kans op ziekenhuisopname C19: <1 op 50.000
- kans op myocarditis agv vaccinatie: 1 op 15.000

Kans agv vaccinatie is 3x groter voor gezonde kinderen. #firstdonoharm

Bron qcovid.org/Calculation & ⤵️
Andere studies geven 1 op 3000 tot 1 op 6000 aan. Ga hier niet aan voorbij! Gezonde kinderen dienen niet ingezet te worden als schild voor ouderen.

In feite zou je als ouder kunnen overwegen met dit “kansenspel” actief een C19 besmetting op te zoeken. Immers, een doorgemaakte C19 infectie levert ook immuniteit.

A thread. @wellcometrust kindly funded me for 13 yrs on MH projects. It’s also funded decades of research on social & economic determinants of health, long-term impacts of poverty, unemployment, stress, loneliness & isolation. I’m aghast re the lack of focus on these things 1/
What about the health impact of millions of job losses; debt of over £2 trillion & all the other physical and mental health impacts of lockdown? As professionals, clinicians, academics and philanthropic funders, are we really having a full and fair debate? 2/
Those of us working in the community are baffled by the lack of academic, scientific & governmental focus on the physical & mental health impacts of bankruptcy, poverty, despair, withdrawal of MH & disability services, domestic violence & safeguarding 3/

@PeterHotez 1. Only #DrFauci from the #FormerGuy's Covid team tried to tell the truth from the beginning. Now #BrettGiroir #StephenHahn #RobertKadlec #DeborahBirx & #RobertRedfield are speaking out on @CNN on 3/28. They are a yr & 500+K lives #TooLate!.....
@PeterHotez @CNN 2. Had they cared they would have resigned in protest as soon as they knew what the #FormerGuy & his #BandOfIncompetents were up to! It was their #Duty to inform #Americans; not #Cover for the #Inept! They didn't honor their oath to the #Constiution nor this one: #FirstDoNoHarm!
@PeterHotez @CNN 3. I'll #Boycott any #TellAllBooks written by the #FormerGuysEnablers! Maybe if ALL had spoken up & honored #FirstDoNoHarm we wouldn't have #545273DeadAmericans today! I'm not interested in their excuses!

A study in AUS will track children and adolescents with #genderdysphoria being treated with hormones and surgery. The study unfortunately suffers from similar ethical and overall design flaws as the @NIH study being done in the US: bmjopen.bmj.com/content/9/11/e…
Because there is no comparison group of “counseled only” children and adolescents, the study is both scientifically and ethically objectionable, and 6 psychiatrists have written the @BMJ expressing their concern about this: bmjopen.bmj.com/content/9/11/e…
Excerpt: The Trans20 study aims to "document the natural history of gender diversity presenting in children." It isn't clear how the study design could allow observation of 'natural' history of #TGD youth when it intervenes in developmental trajectories of ALL 600 participants!
