The ONLY WAY to make any sense of the changes to isolation policy, in combination w/ the removal of virtually all mitigations across 🏴society, is that the @PrimeMinister@sajidjavid & @10DowningStreet ACTIVELY WANT ppl to catch AND spread #coronavirus.
They WANT “US” to “GO NOW” rather than later in the Autumn/winter….that’s YOU & ME!
No matter how many ppl are doubly vaccinated, COMPLETELY UNMITIGATED TRANSMISSION/SPREAD will inevitably effect ppl in all age groups.
GOING NOW may sound BIG & BRAVE to those that haven’t followed the pandemic closely, but for anyone w/ even the slightest understanding of what’s really going on, it equates to pouring several large cans of petrol onto the UK #COVID 🔥, whilst simultaneously turning the 💦 off!
I’m very fortunate that my children are >18 & I am ALLOWED to wear #PPE to work.
I would neither send my unvaccinated child into or agree to work in 🏴schools w/ ZERO MITIGATIONS, a mostly unvaccinated population & in crowded poorly ventilated rooms in the current situation.
To ACTIVELY INFECT a whole part of society because you’re either too lazy to bother w/ protections, too ignorant to understand the consequences or so ruthless you do not care about the suffering of “others”, IS UNCONSCIONABLE, BARBARIC, UNFORGIVABLE! @ChildrensComm@Rosiemillard
And to know, that as night follows day, #COVID19 will inevitably leak into older & more vulnerable parts of society, causing yet more AVOIDABLE DEATHS & cases of #LongCovid, is a level of brutality I am finding very hard to comprehend. @reece_dinsdale@IanMaher7
No protection for CV/CEV children & adults, teaching staff, family members, healthcare workers & all those working in frontline f2f roles - thrown under the big red #COVID bus AGAIN!
A shocking level of callousness, internationally reviled.
But the dye has been cast. More unnecessary suffering & harm will follow, the carnage isn’t going to stop!
The names of every #Tory MP is on the list w/ a ✅.
Along w/ our most snr medical, scientific & @PHE_uk advisors, they’ve all added their signatures to our #COVID19 story.
Just for a moment put the children, staff & families who’re being unnecessarily exposed to #COVID19 day after day in schools that are almost completely MITIGATION FREE.
Who’ll be caring for #COVID patients in the INEVITABLE, but AVOIDABLE surge that we’re at the start of?

WHO Mr Williamson?
My HCP/NHS colleagues have for 18/12, & will continue to, put our lives, & those of our loved ones, at ⬆️risk to provide the care that patients w/ #COVID19 need across ALL healthcare settings & in their homes.
For anyone who hasn’t realised just how deep the #BackToNormal lunacy runs, take a look at some of the “nearly 50” @Conservatives who are actively supporting @UsforThemUK’s dangerous & irresponsible campaign to make 🏴schools #COVID19 MITIGATION-FREE!
This is v disturbing from @halfon4harlowMP
Could it represent a CHILD SAFEGUARDING ISSUE on a NATIONAL SCALE?
It’s clear that the CHAIR of @CommonsEd has absolutely no understanding of the significance of the #COVID19#DeltaVariant & is a cheer leader of #COVIDIsOver idiocy! 1/9
Watch it for yourself….his entire focus is on PRE-PANDEMIC “NORMALITY” for SCHOOLS, pushing back against bubbles, any sort of restrictions & makes no mention at all of how to protect CV/CEV children, families or staff as cases rise. @ChildrensComm@Rachel_deSouza@cv_cev

His views on consent for 12-15yr olds are obvious.
Is it possible he will be able to intervene in @CMO_England’s decision?
Does he have training in advising <16yr olds on such important matters?
Has he even heard of #GillickCompetency? @drcarolinej@vickyford@LaylaMoran 3/
If we consider the age groups of schoolchildren & their parents & the overall numbers of #COVID cases currently, the return to 🏴schools will almost certainly result in a rapid increase in infections that is avoidable, unnecessary & predictable. 1/9
That the vast majority of schoolchildren <16yrs have been DENIED ACCESS to an @MHRAgovuk approved vaccination & that the #JCVI assessment did not include deaths from #COVID, #LongCovid, effects on parents/close family, educational disruption etc is shocking in itself!
2/
How can the #JCVI not consider at all that most schools have zero effective mitigations to ⬇️transmission of #airborne🦠s & that children/staff will no longer #WearAMask , putting schoolchildren & unvaccinated staff at significant risk of exposure to #coronavirus 5/7 a week? 3/
