"I work in a specialist cancer centre.
I have seen patients pulled off chemo regimens half way through or not started at all because of Covid... otherwise curable patients now terminal.
The cancer tsunami coming will make Covid look like a walk in the park...

2/ "I work in a specialist cancer centre.
I have seen patients who have been pulled off chemo regimens half way through or not started on them at all because of Covid.
Unsurprisingly their cancers have progressed and in some cases they are now sadly palliative.

3/ "Lots of late diagnoses are now coming through - patients that would have been curable are now terminal.
Lots of DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) forms in patient notes that would never have even been discussed before this mass hysteria took hold.

4/ "They think Covid was bad?
The cancer tsunami that is coming will make Covid look like a walk in the park.
I will never forgive so many in the NHS being so complicit with this fear propaganda."

5/ #NHSVoices is Recovery's new outlet for NHS staff to bring to light concerns about how Covid policies are affecting patients.
We do this because the doctors, nurses and other health professionals on the Recovery Medicine & Science Group warn of a crisis in the NHS...

7/ Key screening, prevention and treatment programmes for the UK’s biggest killers:
➡️ Cancer
➡️ Heart disease
➡️ Dementia
...have been postponed or abandoned, leaving a timebomb of undiagnosed and untreated deadly diseases...

8/ These problems could have been avoided.
Govt spent our money on private hospitals to treat NHS patients - then left them empty and their staff standing idle.
It asked for nurses and doctors to return to the NHS, then used only 5,000 of the 40,000 who volunteered...

9/ It implemented a hugely over-sensitive testing system despite repeated warnings. Result? In some areas, almost HALF of all NHS staff had to isolate at home.
In our hour of need, despite heroism of many NHS workers, incompetent Govt + m'ment mean our health service is failing.

10/ We need urgent action now to fix the problem.
