NEW: more than 100 international scientists & doctors have signed letter in @TheLancet saying UK govt’s plans to lift all restrictions are ‘dangerous & premature’

theguardian.com/world/2021/jul…
‘Scientists & doctors from more than a dozen countries signed the letter, which states: “We believe the government is embarking on a dangerous & unethical experiment”
‘Signatories of the letter include Dr Chaand Naipaul, chair of BMA, prof Eric Topol of Scripps Research Translational Institute in California & Sir David King, former govt chief scientific adviser’
@WHO’s @DrMikeRyan characterised the UK govt’s plan of letting people get infected early rather than later as ‘epidemiological stupidity’
‘Moral emptiness & epidemiological stupidity’ @who’s @DrMikeRyan on UK pulls no punches on govt’s decision to infect people sooner rather than later (h/t @GabrielScally)

You can read the letter in the Lancet here. Emergency summit & press conference with @dgurdasani @trishgreenhalgh @KailashChandOBE @SusanMichie @doctor_oxford & @thelancet editor @RichardHorton15 starting at 10am over on @allthecitizens

Very glad to see The Lancet trending. These scientists & doctors are doing everything they can to make their voices heard. Is the government listening?

Herd immunity. Herd immunity. Herd immunity. Herd immunity. Herd immunity.

Can we please now call it by its name? A reckless deliberate population infection strategy with unknown consequences not being contemplated by any other country in the world
I really hope @SadiqKhan is immune from ridiculous ideological rhetoric around masks. The idea that ‘personal responsibility’ is going to ensure mask usage is something only an Old Etonian who never uses the Tube could dream up. Has he ever met the British public?
The plan, to be clear, is that your children catch Covid now because Johnson thinks it’s less disruptive than in autumn…

To understand what this means, see this week’s @allthecitizens newsletter on the literally fatal flaw of this master plan

NEW: Herd immunity isn't a plan. It's a dangerous, unethical medical experiment being conducted on living subjects: children.

I don't know why anyone thinks this is okay. It isn't.

Who do you trust? Sajid Javid? Or @chrischirp? This was from @IndependentSage’s Friday briefing & she couldn’t have put it any clearer. The government’s plan is ‘a terrible plan’
The government has given up pretending it’s following the science. Today’s announcements are pure ideology. The decision to remove all mitigations even while cases are increasing exponentially is inexplicable. The only way it makes sense is if you believe masks inhibit ‘freedom’

War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Health is the deliberate mass infection of an entire nation’s children with a novel & mutating virus with unknown long term consequences
This man is an active danger to public health.
It is likely we will be at almost 100k cases/day when Sajid Javid will remove the mandate on masks.

More from yesterday’s Independent SAGE session. @Zubhaque saying it like it is
To understand the colossal gamble the government is taking, I highly recommend watching whole thing. Months from full vaccination, the government is throwing in the towel & letting the virus rip.

In all the time that @allthecitizens has been broadcasting @IndependentSage’s weekly briefings, I don’t think I’ve ever seen the scientists express such utter disbelief

We are embarking on a massive herd immunity experiment. We are truly stepping into the unknown. Please watch.
These are 2 clips from @chrischirp’s presentation of the data. We are looking at 90k cases a day by July 19. Look at these charts. We’ve never seen infection on this scale. This is massive population-wide experiment of a type that no other country in the world is contemplating
I highly recommend watching whole briefing. This populist govt that has made mistakes time & time again. Labour Party is missing in action. And cohort of scientists who sounded alarm from start believe it’s unethical unnecessary profoundly hazardous gamble

NEW: That footage of Hancock snogging his mistress is not the most disturbing thing to come out of the Department of Health & Social Care this week.

Is the government pursuing a herd immunity programme for children by stealth?

Yesterday's events may make it seem Britain still has some functioning system of accountability.

SPOILER: it does not. Image
This was a full mafia-style execution. We don't know who or why or why now.

But tell it to the Delta variant. The exponential rise & mass infection of unvaccinated schoolchildren & ICU surges is where our focus needs to be. Image
