I woke up this morning with the same dread I've had for the last 10 mornings. It feels like we are sleepwalking into another disaster.

It's not just that we're not listening to the scientists - 1,246 now have signed Lancet letter - we're also not listening to most vulnerable.
3.7 million people in this country who are clinically vulnerable. Many are rightly terrified. And their views & fears are not breaking through.

Ridiculous views of privileged white men's views on taking the knee are trending. This, honestly, is not what's important right now.
Many people feel abandoned. Because they have been.
From July 19, as @drfrancesryan says millions of people will have return to work in unsafe conditions.
Meanwhile, the rest of the world is literally looking on at what we are doing in horror.

“If you are going to train a virus to escape vaccine-induced immunity, you would do exactly what they're doing."

The media bubble may be distracted but the public isn't. @allthecitizens had more than 200k views on our 2 emergency summits across last week.

At every step of pandemic, the public have been ahead of both govt & press. And it's happening all over again

Reminder: Boris Johnson has personally prevented British security services from investigating Russian interference in the UK
Major new revelations from @lukeharding1968 & @julianborger that should make huge waves in US.

Details of documents that appear to come from Jan 2016 Kremlin meeting & reveal systematic & organised attack against US election Image
But I want to point out the extreme coincidence of this timing with regards to Britain.

ONE DAY before this Kremlin meeting, this was the headline that went around the world. A British court found Putin behind Litvinenko killing & British PM condemned him personally Image

Ok. Let’s see if this works. Benjamin Bainbridge, I’ve found your credit card (on Hampstead Heath). You out there?
Everyone! It’s solved! Thank you for your service. Amazing Twitter action in action… Image

There are some extremely sensible people saying some extremely alarming things today
1,000 scientists from UK & around the world condemning govt’s plans:
Reaction from New Zealand:

‘If you wanted to teach the coronavirus how to evade vaccine-induced immunity, you would do what the United Kingdom is about to’

We cannot trust this government not to kill us.

Cases are rising exponentially. Hospitalisations are rising exponentially. Double vaccinated people are catching it. 2.2 million clinically extremely vulnerable people have been told nothing.
From this week's newsletter. We are going to have more cases than at any time of the pandemic by 19 July.
Britain is going its own way again. We are acting against WHO's explicit advice. We know how this ended last time.

NEW: Boris Johnson keeps denying it so we're going to keep saying it: the strategy is herd immunity.

keepingthereceipts.substack.com/p/moral-emptin…
Herd immunity. Herd immunity. Herd immunity. Herd immunity. Herd immunity. Herd immunity.

No less than Dominic Lawson is 100% in agreement with me on this point. It's patently ludicrous that Boris Johnson is denying it's following a herd immunity strategy. And yet, he's created such a reality-warping forcefield that the words have been banished from public debate

A huge number of scientists, journalists & politicians are completely silent on govt’s plans for July 19.

Remember how wise everyone was *after* Johnson failed to lock down in mid March? If you don’t speak up now, I hope to God you shut the fuck up later
In March, a lot of people desperate to believe our leaders had this. Entire news orgs took view they had to back PM in national crisis *even though he ignored all @WHO advice*.

Exact same thing happening all over again. @WHO couldn’t be more clear
Another senior @WHO leader speaks out. ‘Immoral, unethical & unscientific’
