🧵A failure to accept reality, the unsustainability of normality, and those seeking to rewrite history.

To start with the living with covid plan hasn't even been fully implemented yet and we already see a new wave rising

2/ First of all @sajidjavid made claims cases and hospitalisations were still falling, and wasn't pulled up in an interview that this wasn't true.

Then we are told rising cases are no cause for concern, the we are told to "brace", but at least we have more "freedom" than others

3/ Messaging is pandemic over, I thought the plan was to treat it like flu and other viruses, however the "Living with Covid" plan doesn't do this, instead it tries to pretend covid no longer exists

Chicken pox is notable in schools but not covid?

4/ Gov guidance is still that you should isolate if possible, yet DfE recommends child minding continues in positive households

Looks a lot like encouraging infection

5/ Looks a lot like herd/hybrid immunity strategy
"Booster infections" anyone?

Was suggested at JCVI as a benefit of not offering vaccination to children

6/ We see lots of workplaces struggling to do the right thing, should they allow staff to isolate? Pay full wage?

Two mates isolating at the moment, one works with several older guys, to protect them only gets statutory sick wage so losing money, some won't even get that

7/ Reminder the government isn't following the science from SAGE or WHO

SAGE February Meeting⬇️

8/ Stripping away the covid infrastructure like testing and isolation, the Government is basically following the GBD approach where herd immunity now means constant reinfection 🤷‍♂️

9/ Many Tory MPs seem to think it was the measures reducing access to care, not a deluge of covid patients flooding hospitals

Is the NHS back to normal?
No chance

10/ How is this sustainable?
Staff are eroded from stress of pandemic, illness from the virus, over burdened with workload

These numbers will just keep going up, even if gov didn't care about health and wellbeing, they're wrecking the workforce

11/ What about schools? Isn't is great they're back to normal without all the disruption masks or clean air would cause?
Stop testing kids they said, that's the problem,

So how's that working out?
Year groups shutting due to lack of staff

12/ Mocks getting missed, supply agencies running dry, students facing constant cover, thinking exam season could be a disaster with lots of students off sick,

13/ I'd like to point out all these screenshots are from one of my WhatsApp chats from one morning.

We're about as unsustainable as the NHS

14/ Meanwhile terms for the covid inquiry seem to skip over education, this can't be allowed, the negligence of the DfE throughout this needs to be examined, as does how they managed to consistently ignore the scientific advice on schools

15/ 2 years on and still no serious investment in ventilation and filtration

DfE did a back of the fag packet survey and concluded over 96% of classrooms have good air quality!

Meanwhile Italy just passed a clean air act for classrooms

16/ GBD/Pro infection crowd think they've won, when it all goes wrong they'll just delete lots of posts and carry on regardless, like they did after the second wave they claimed wouldn't happen

And as I've repeatedly warned, they will now seek to rewrite history

17/ This is why Halfon wants schools included in the inquiry, he wants the record to say that schools should never have closed and transmission in schools played little impact, ignoring the fact schools were going to shut March 2020 and Jan 2021 cos we were running out of staff

18/ It wipes the govs hands clean of one of the most negligent areas in regards to safety, it also provides a key stone in the narrative the GBD were right all along

No suprise to see @nadhimzahawi seeming to join in

19/ The work to rewrite the history of the pandemic to portray the GBD as the silenced heroes who fought on began properly in the UK when GBDs Collateral Global bought itself an APPG

20/ The APPG funding by Collateral Global is providing a platform for Collateral Global and HART to put parliamentary stamp onto their disinformation

Been busy trying to halt child vaccination

21/ Disinformation groups flooded gov with FOIs, now Collateral Global are using FOIs on FOIs to produce questionable stats and to build a narrative around the FOIs

Bringing back the classic crap, like questioning PCR tests

22/ Expect more of these FOI type reports, 2 in short succession from Collateral Global

Has the same level of scientific integrity as VAER dumpster diving

23/ Of course you can depend on the Telegraph to platform anything Collateral Global produce

24/ Telegraph were responsible for the worst and most damaging example of VAER dumpster diving

That Turner has just been promoted says a lot about the Telegraph

25/ Almost like Telegraph writers have been meeting with disinformation groups behind closed doors

26/ Same is happening in the US, here's Brownstone which is mainly GBD/AIER with colleagues overlapping with Collateral Global via Pandata

Once they rewrite history, they'll then have someone to blame,and will then call for justice

27/ As is Paul E Alexander, former Trump advisor, also involved with Brownstone and other disinformation groups

These are extremists but they get platformed not silenced, they get the ear of politicians

28/ They want a rigged inquiry that agrees with them, they want to blame others, calls for trials...

They're playing to the Nuremberg 2.0 crowd, the extremists who are increasingly violent in their choice of language

29/ That this group has such influence over UK politicians, CRG, the APPG, media links etc is appalling

They complain about being silenced, play thr victim, but whose promoting violent rhetoric?

30/ Can see what Collateral Global are doing, their message is

"Don't trust..
ONS
MHRA
NHS
UKMSA
Etc
They are lying to you"

This is a group who argues no one under 30 should be vaccinated and hints at alternative agendas for lockdowns

31/ And this is the issue with Heneghan and co, the only way they can twist figures to fit their agenda is to sink into the realm of suggesting conspiracy

When does Oxford University ditch the quack, because that's what he's become

32/ Also have Conservative Woman and others pushing the conspiracy angle around two failed court cases about vax, once again relying on HART, Collateral Global etc as their evidence

They go full on antivax

33/ And it continues, are they really going back to droplets?
🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

34/ And LFTs appear to have been switched off before 1st April when they were supposed to

35/ Zoe App also scrapped
