Dr Musgrave, being the subject of a pile-on is unpleasant to say the least so it would be wrong to continue further, but I urge you read the 2 articles I’ll attach & consider whether #UsForThem are the sort of group you really want to show support to as a Dr.

I could understand their perspective if we weren’t talking about a highly contagious #airborne 🦠which spreads best indoors in crowded, poorly ventilated spaces….SCHOOLS!

Everyone wants to see children in school, but the SAFETY of pupils, staff & families must be considered.
2/
Whatever your personal “views” on the risks to children as a whole, we know that HUGE NUMBERS of individual children, families & staff have been affected by acute #COVID19, #LongCovid, bereavement & the many other negative outcomes associated with #COVID19UK being so bad.
3/
Dismissing the massive toll of all that suffering as reasonable collateral so kids can be in school “as normal” is IMO seriously worrying and it is an even more brutal attitude to take towards CV/CEV children/families who are never mentioned by #UsForThem.

It’s very simple, #COVIDisAirborne, we know how to ⬇️transmission of #coronavirus AND ⬆️protections against it.

A full academic yr has passed in 🇬🇧 w/ virtually none of the WELL KNOWN MITIGATIONS in place for any period of time.

This is a WOEFUL DERELICTION OF DUTY OF CARE!

Part 2👇🏼


I’d suggest anyone who’s a parent/teacher or involved in education/children’s health who hasn’t read this 2 part piece by @NafeezAhmed @BylineTimes to do the same.

1 final comment - if you live in an area not badly affected by #COVID19 you may underestimate the effects on children/families/staff of unmitigated #coronavirus transmission.
For those in deprived areas, multigenerational households etc, the experience will be very different!

@dr_musgrave,I’m struggling to see how you can justify tweeting these comments as a medical practitioner…It is almost as if you are living/working in a parallel universe?

In the NorthEast the #NHS is under huge pressure & elective surgery has again been cancelled due to #Covid.
A v good friend/teacher (doubly vaccinated)has recently been v unwell, she caught #COVID19 from a pupil in her class.
Many other teachers in the school became ill.

In the few weeks before the end of term, #COVID19 literally ripped through #NorthEast schools & communities.
I am certain that no one wants children to be off school unnecessarily but if cases in school children spiral out of control once more, education will almost certainly be disrupted, again affecting children in the most deprived areas the most.

Terrifying thread, thank you @tweetsbyames for all the gory details, do read them all👇🏼.
The #PrimeMinister is a brutal & narcissistic egomaniac who shouldn’t be allowed to plan a children’s tea party, let alone be in charge during a pandemic!

#SOSUK
#COVID19UK #SchoolsScandal
THOUSANDS of ppl have lost their lives or been left with long term debilitating symptoms AS A RESULT OF HIS CALLOUS INDIFFERENCE to others & his SERIAL INCOMPETENCE!

@Conservatives - YOUR MAN IS A VERY DANGEROUS THREAT TO US ALL!

Let’s be very clear about what’s going on here…

EVERY SINGLE DECISION currently being made about 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿CHILDREN’s HEALTH, WELLBEING & EDUCATION is being HEAVILY INFLUENCED by #Conservative backed/funded groups & also by MEDICS who are downplaying #COVID/#LongCovid effects on them.
This is incredibly concerning for 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿children & their families.

PLEASE WAKE UP MSM….I’m just a dr, not an investigative journalist. But it doesn’t take much digging to see how sinister & dangerous this situation is.

@carolecadwalla @BylineTimes @NafeezAhmed @IndependentSage
School #COVID policy(or lack of)
#JCVI #COVIDVaccination decisions for <18s

Key “players” feature in EVERY DECISION since last summer -the return to “normal” school Sept 20 & 21, Jan 4th Primaries return,removal of😷s May21, unnecessary delays to vaccination of 12-18yr olds….

I’m not sure who to report this to, but YET AGAIN @halfon4harlowMP, the CHAIR of @CommonsEd is OPENLY LINKING HIMSELF to #UsForThemUK who are #antimask #antivax, anti - ANY #COVID mitigation in schools.

This is NOT OK!
1/10

@LaylaMoran @AppgCoronavirus @ChildrensComm @NAHTnews
#UsForThemUK are linked to #CRG & other @Conservatives MPs, #HARTGroup & others, who’re relentlessly spreading #CovidDisinformation in the name of putting “children first”.

NO ONE who cares about the health & wellbeing of children should be promoting them.
NO ONE!

@vickyford
They’re part of a web of ANTI-MITIGATION “campaigners” who want schools to open in Sept WITHOUT ANY PROTECTIONS against #COVID19 in place for 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿pupils, staff & families.

Every HT needs to know that the pupils in THEIR CARE, almost all of whom are unvaccinated, are NOT SAFE!

Hello MSM👋 waiting for someone to expose the SCANDAL of #COVID19UK, our children & young ppl.

The web of players, the links to the #CRG & other @Conservatives MPs, @hartgroup_org, @UsforThemUK, #GreatBarringtonDeclaration advocates, @Telegraph @Daily_Express journalists……1/11
The relentless stream of #COVIDDisinformation, which has been supported & retweeted by a small group of “like minded” medical professionals who should know better.

I’ve absolutely no doubt that issues w/ 2nd vaccines for 18-30yr olds & the pause on 12-18yr old 💉s are linked.
Is it too cynical to believe that withholding full vaccination of the <30s & not vaccinating even CV/CEV 12-18yr olds during the summer holidays is related to a desire to INCREASE #coronavirus TRANSMISSION as part of the #HerdImmunityByInfection “strategy”……with a NOVEL VIRUS!!

I read with interest the @thetimes article on #schools which claimed triumphantly that daily #LateralFlowTests of close #COVID contacts is as good as or better at reducing ongoing transmission & that indeed “Schools do not spread COVID”.

Here is the article incase you can’t see it because it’s behind a paywall.

Have a read….
