@CamillaTominey new show on @LBC starts with an interview of Henegan claiming no evidence masks have an impact now telling Michie we need to treat it like flu.
Now we have GPs arent seeing patients, ppl I know have been this week.
Now its coughing into a tissue is as effective as a mask.
Man phones up to say his wife has long covid and now has to walk with a frame, gets told no evidence masks work.
Now we have a caller talking about it being good for children to get a little bit infected in school to build immunity 🤷♂️

#r4today Justin Webb, "Isn't it just inevitable this year or next that everyone is going to end up getting infected at some point and we just need to accept that"
Then goes on to question why government would need to produce guidelines for workplaces
Switch to @LBC reporter is outside a train station to ask ppl if they will be pleased with ditching the "dreaded mask"
Onto GMB , Madeley asks a respected scientist if she wants to keep masks because she is a communist, repeating RW rags attack lines
8th April 2020
I said the RW lobbyists would coopt scientists in the same way they have on climate change,would create a network of astroturf orgs and then use RW papers and political vested interests to get UK to accept mass infection #edutwitter#r4today
Government plan on treating covid as of its the flu in children, scrapping isolation, I notice this is basically accepted as going to happen despite no official statement yet, once again we've learned of major changes through leaks to papers inews.co.uk/news/schools-t…
And the CRG are now arguing that we should just stop testing children.
The article above quotes a Labour MP saying why wait, scrap protections now.
🧵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
1/🧵Manipulating narrative is in part which stories editors choose to lead on.
Today
The Hancock story is going to suppress the more important story that the gov asked for SAGE to model high transmission in younger age groups to reach herd immunity via infection #edutwitter
2/ Andrew Lloyd Webber another big headline. Data from trials is being suppressed, we are reminded that other data that could be positively spun was delayed.
But they won't mention case data in education still isn't being published since May
