So just seen an organisation called Dont Divide US, which seems to mainly be trying to create division within Trade Unions
๐Ÿงต1/
2/ Stop the culture war, they say as they try and ramp it up

The antiracists are promoting fear, they say as they try to make ppl fear anyone speaking up against racism
3/ They are silencing our free speech, they say as they try and silence others free speech (wait until you see who its linked to)

Who is provoking fear here?
4/ There's always a begging bowl with these ppl
5/ Who are the links
Academy of Ideas
Campaign for Common Sense
The Equiano Project
Free Speech Union

So another Claire Fox, Toby Young spin off, like they have no chance to air their views as they are regularly allowed to balance real experts
6/ Youngs version of the free speech union at universities was called out for stifling the free speech of students who joined with an open mind
7/ The kind of free speech the alt-right want...

No suprise to see an opquely funded think tank writing Tory policy

2/ Hmmm.... ImageImageImage
3/ Delta is more pathogenic, the question is by how much, surely this means the chance of risk is increased for everyone, children will still have lower risk than someone older and unvaccinated Image

A Call For Action!

While US offers vaccines and billions for clean air, Johnson has abandoned our schools, staff and students to taking the Delta variant on the chin

Help isnt coming

Theres just us, and what we choose to do about it

๐ŸงตAction plan๐Ÿงต
1. DfE guidence says no one can face consequences for choosing to wear or not to wear a mask

Wear your mask, and hold your ground if ppl try and stop you

Improve your mask

While you can't force ppl to wear masks, school leaders should encourage their use, consider positive messaging

"This is a clean air school" my head wears his at the gates in the morning (good old bit of modelling there #edutwitter)

๐ŸงตLong Covid in Children, the UKs impact on the global debate on schools and covid.

Today we see a perfect example

The Zoe study comes out and hits headlines, many outlets are stating this is proof we don't need to worry about long covid in children
2/ Its interesting to see studies and statements make it into the headlines and which don't.
When ONS data said the long covid rate was around 8-12% depending on age, that didn't recieve the same level of attention and those who reported it cast doubt on the numbers.
3/ Some UK studies and stats gain a lot more attention than others, some are treated as fact others are presented with doubt.

Most international research on schools and children seems to be wilfully ignored

Remember hearing about a 2 day science summit on long covid?

Government scraps ยฃ300m initiative on mental health in primary school

As for the Students have lost X days in schools = y loss of lifetime earnings

Availability of opportunity will have a greater impact, here we have options available being removed

Where are those voices now?

Tominey on @LBC attended meetings behind closed doors with MPs and disinformation groups

Now interviewing Lord Sumption about how "Sages critics have been silenced" and victimised
1/
2/ "There are a large number of scientists who say lockdowns don't work, the academic world has been divided and this isn't helpful"

Odd to say theyve been silenced when Tominey and Sumption know they've had secrete meetings with government
3/ Tominey says we almost have 90% with antibodies so basically have herd immunity so why should we use vaccine passports or financial incentives to encourage younger ppl to get vaccinated

Of course this is 90% of adults with some antibodies, not whole population inc under 18s

So UsForThem ARE part of a coordinated disinformation network which includes some of the world's most prolific antivaxers and covid deniers

Having spoken to certain journalists in recent weeks I know the log chats contain a lot more information than just this article
2/ A quick overview of the kind of media profile HART have developed in short notice.
3/ For those not familiar with full details of UsForThem, see this part of a thread of mine and the links, I will be returning to the rest of the thread shortly

The article at the top is a good starting point for HART and the network, however there's more
