🧵LBC this morning claims were made that hundred of students are isolated after 1 positive case
A Tory peer claimed 300 students isolating from 1 LFD
Telegraph launches campaign to end isolation.

Hundreds from 1 test?
I'm calling shenanigans on this, gaslighting disinformation

2/ Reality is the Gov asked SAGE to redo roadmap modelling to include high transmission in younger age groups to reach herd immunity faster via infection.

3/ The majority of the media are so obsessed with their own agendas they are smothering the truth with a bombardment of lies and government propaganda.

Hancock taking the hit this week means few have reported the new herd immunity via infection plan

3/MHRA approves 11-17 vaccines a while ago, media aren't pushing gov to follow the rest of the world which has enough supply, instead sympathetic interviews with certain gov advisors claiming "balance of risks" makes it uncertain.

Why?

4/1. I believe they think its faster just to allow infections, only problem is antibodies from infection don't appear to be stopping reinvention, I know ppl who have been infected multiple times, some have been sicker second time around so it didn't protect them.

5/ More importantly I think they are worried by the messaging. Vaccination could be taken as some as an acceptance of a certain amount of risk and the gov and gaslighters have constantly made out risk is so low to students it should be disregarded.
@LongCovidKids are ignored

6/ For doubters, NYC have had a lot less disruption in schools since getting serious about mitigation measures.
Why does UK schools policy mimic Sweden and Netherlands herd immunity by infection strategy if they aren't doing the same?

7/ So much has been invested in claiming schools aren't contributing to infection they cant turn back now, to do so now would require them to explain their previous actions and statements

Can see how they prepare ground to dismiss student infections

https://twitter.com/karamballes/status/1404821022570860544?s=19

8/ Now by misrepresenting and exaggerating how isolation is working in education they seek to strip away the last effective measure.

Is this about education or keeping parents in work?

Just let it rip.

9/As we learn more about long term impact of covid, its increasingly sickening how comfortable double dosed politicians, pundits and experts in safer working conditions are with the mass infection of unvaccinated childre

Even worse when they distort truth

10/ Notice the reliance on SAGE member Viner. The man lies.
Week after masks were removed in secondary, on his advice, he claimed on #r4today that masks would keep school workers safe!
BBC didn't challenge an outright lie

https://twitter.com/karamballes/status/1396713604746031108?s=19

11/ I expect Telegraph to be absolute junk, its just a means to push the owners RW agenda regardless of the truth.

However nearly everyone has been absolutely dire.
@NickTriggle, sister in law a tory MP, constantly failing to provide balance

https://twitter.com/ConcernedofBri1/status/1409736645268717568?s=19

12/ #r4today did the same when it came to shutting down the debate on vaccinating children, what happened to providing balance?

https://twitter.com/karamballes/status/1395257284591292416?s=19

13/ As for the new children's commissioner.
CEO of a MAT, involved in astroturf org pushing Tory policy, no wonder they made sure she got the job which is supposed to hold government to account

Rotten

https://twitter.com/karamballes/status/1336447216857325569?s=19

14/And now #r4today leads with scrapping isolation, never reported on FDA ruling on LFDs and their reporter claims "unions will support this"

So why didn't #r4today invite any union leaders to be interviewed. I'm disgusted.

15/ Teacher Tap, Oasis Academy and Nick Gibb were interviewed.
@miss_mcinerney I like you, but you missed the chance to raise student vaccination and ventilation which should come before there's any talk of scrapping isolation.

16/ The propoganda on schools has been relentless, many other countries couldn't countenance the lack of care UK is showing.

17/ The incestuous relationship between lobbyists, politics and media is suffocating the truth and puts our democracy in a precarious position. We have a gov who doesn't respect rule of law and is seeking to strip away accountability and scrutiny.

18/ They platform those who have regularly been wrong without questioning their falsehoods while casting doubt on safety campaigners accusing us of doom mongering. We've called it right more than anyone else!

https://twitter.com/dgurdasani1/status/1409453877431353348?s=19

19/Its hazardous calling for safety, papers run smear pieces leading to us receiving abuse and death threats, there are attempts by scientists in league with lobbyists to destroy the reputation on others, attempts are made to have ppl removed from their jobs

20/ And the biggest trolls pushing the greatest disinformation are generally major news outlets and blue ticks profiles that pretend to be free speech champions!

All because we want clean air in schools!

Let's be honest, its fucking sinister.

21/ Here's @NickGibbUK today saying schools will still be protected by a "raft of measures" including "extra ventilation"
@KayBurley you should have asked how much has DfE spent on ventilation?
£0 there is no extra ventilation,it's an outright lie

https://twitter.com/SkyNews/status/1409758071887441920?s=19

22/ @NickGibbUK also said "we need to do everything to reduce transmission"
@KayBurley, this is the point where your supposed to say "so why did you remove masks?"

Same lies keep getting made without any questioning, its awful reporting.

https://twitter.com/karamballes/status/1401482979071909891?s=19

23/ I have no faith on the trials to replace isolation, the methodology was always questionable, but it doesn't matter what the results are, the Government and media will claim its a success.

It's politics not science.

https://twitter.com/ReicherStephen/status/1409788044933308417?s=19

24/ Now this is ridiculous, BBC have a link to UsForThem on their website.

Amazing how a astroturf org with very few actual grassroots supporters can get such media presence, I guess links to gov and dodgy lobbying groups goes a long way

https://twitter.com/NafeezAhmed/status/1409792293532487681?s=19

25/ Like clockwork...
They are so predictable but not enough ppl are calling it out

https://twitter.com/dgurdasani1/status/1409787090678788097?s=19

26/ Why we will struggle to reach herd immunity without children being vaccinated.

Got to be better than mass infection

https://twitter.com/chrischirp/status/1409865926942642178?s=19

Early March 2020, did Johnson never give up on this idea?
He allowed only secondary pupils to wear masks, and only for 40 school days, still stands by forcing schools to stay open in December

And now we have Dingwall saying natural infection provides more immunity for children than vaccination

GBD signatory on major UK government committees is shocking.
