@carolecadwalla @globalhlthtwit @devisridhar @richardhorton1 @Dr2NisreenAlwan This was @Johnrashton47 on Newsnight on 11 March. Soon after this John Ashton was marginalised by the media. Some media even attempted a ‘smear campaign’ against him. #coronavirusuk #Covdi19 #HerdImmunityScandal
@carolecadwalla @globalhlthtwit @devisridhar @richardhorton1 @Dr2NisreenAlwan @Johnrashton47 This was @tomaspueyo on 14 March soon after his article saying “the UK must lock down now” went viral.
Also interviewed here is Prof John Edmunds - one of the govt’s key modellers. On Sunday, Edmunds admitted to #Marr that late lockdown was a mistake.

@carolecadwalla @globalhlthtwit @devisridhar @richardhorton1 @Dr2NisreenAlwan @Johnrashton47 @tomaspueyo Writing in @TheLancet in January, @richardhorton1 had spelled out the danger posed by #coronavirus.
Here on #BBCQT he describes the government’s inaction as “a national scandal,” & says the UK “wasted February” when we should have been preparing.

@carolecadwalla @globalhlthtwit @devisridhar @richardhorton1 @Dr2NisreenAlwan @Johnrashton47 @tomaspueyo @TheLancet Here’s @RoryStewartUK warning that the govt have adopted a #herdimmunity strategy.
A week later on 12 March, @peston was briefed by a “senior govt source” & wrote an article confirming this.
The govt deny that herd immunity wasn’t their strategy.
It is!

@carolecadwalla @globalhlthtwit @devisridhar @richardhorton1 @Dr2NisreenAlwan @Johnrashton47 @tomaspueyo @TheLancet @RoryStewartUK @Peston In his #GreenwichSpeech on 3 Feb, PM mentions #coronavirus for 1st time & warns there’s a danger it will “trigger panic & [measures] that go beyond what’s medically rational to the point of doing real & unnecessary economic damage.”

@carolecadwalla @globalhlthtwit @devisridhar @richardhorton1 @Dr2NisreenAlwan @Johnrashton47 @tomaspueyo @TheLancet @RoryStewartUK @Peston @peterjukes It’s been very difficult to demand that the govt end their deadly #herdimmunity strategy when, in answer, they pretend they’ve never heard of it!
That’s why I’ve been ‘collecting the receipts’ & I’ve set them out in this long #HerdImmunityScandal thread.👇
