The people comfortable with allowing infections to spread through schools are the same ones who said it wasn't going to happen
#edutwitter
They really don't like people talking about @LongCovidKids

These are the same people who have argued against masks in schools throughout, and many have supported astroturf UsForThem who get to be in the Telegraph several times a week.
UsForThem who push the GBD narrative, who have links to lobbyists and politicians, who have been champion by various media sources and personalities.

Whats the plan? Just pretend covid doesn't exist
So many trying to dismiss longcovid, the senior paediatricians provide a shield for Gov policy which is then used to attack those speaking out
GBD influenced?
Yep, GBD⬇️
And they know that when they do this it will set off the antilockdown trolls and conspiracy theorists that seem to follow their accounts in large numbers
Worth considering who would spend time and money creating disinformation and running troll farms and why

⬇️may be wild trolls
There is a clear pattern of behaviour, constant minimising, regularly wrong. Truth comes out in the end
We are repeating March 2020, can't believe how many seem comfortable with many thousands of ppl ending up with long term health conditions that could have been prevented.

🧵This wave was brought to you by the lobbyists of the GBD and Dingwall

SAGE advice is being ignored, but the GBD has gotten nearly everything they wanted

Considering ministers backgrounds it looks like lobbyists have taken over the government
We're dealing with a dangerous combination of corruption and ideology which doesn't believe in accountability.

What we are dealing with looks like a particular type of corruption, State Capture Image
Issue with state capture is that its often not illegal because its about changing laws and regulation and the awarding of positions.

They are also using culture war as an excuse to insert ppl linked to the party into every state institution. Image

🧵 @GavinWilliamson Statement to the commons.
What a sham

"Important mitigations like hand washing and improved ventilation will remain"

What improved ventilation? How do they keep getting away with pushing this lie?
#edutwitter
2/ Shows how out of touch Tory MPs are that a huge cheer goes up when GW says that social distancing will end in schools.

Do they actually believe the crap they read in the Telegraph?
3/ @KateGreenSU says she's relieved bubbles are going, asks about support for ventilation, evidence for removing masks and will children be vaccinated?

SAGE: this will increase the risk of variants, will make it harder to contain variants and ethnic and disadvantaged communities will face the brunt of a lack of mitigations
Johnson: Thats a risk we are willing for them to take Image
Recommendations by SAGE are to try and keep transmission down.
Better support for isolation
Isolating close contacts is important, so the decision to scrap it in schools isn't supported by SAGE
Test and trace still important, still needs improving Image
Asymptomatic testing, important that LFDs are used appropriately and their limitations are properly explained to the public, this isn't happening
WFH still recommended Image

#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

@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.

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
Look at how the narrative developed on removing masks, depriving children of vaccines, ending isolation, supporting mass infection

Lobbyist funded astroturf demands➡️Lobbyist funded experts agree➡️Lobbyist funded media support➡️Lobbyist funded MPs make it policy
Rinse and repeat
They have blocked almost every measure and now they seek to strip away every protection, they are trying to increase infection.

Next step will be to stop testing children

Taken a while but nearly every skeptic/GBD demand is going to be adopted by UK gov
