And by pure coincidence this is what a lazy, ignorant, selfish, cruel & greedy “strategy” against a global pandemic looks like too.
It is NO ACCIDENT!
This is the purest form of #SurvivalOfTheFittest, a plan so grotesque I didn’t think it possible in modern Britain. #SOSUK
3/
- Remove all mitigations & relentlessly mock those advising them.
- Promote a #CovidIsOver mentality & actively encourage mixing freely in bars, restaurants, festivals, sporting venues etc.
- Demand the MSM repeat unscientific anti-public health messages on a daily basis.
4/
- Refuse to allow 12-15yr olds to be vaccinated before they return to school, despite international evidence of its benefits, safety & doggedly ignoring the fact that it’s already been licensed for this age group by @MHRAgovuk.
- Refuse to fund improvements to ventilation in state schools after 18 months, despite overwhelming national & international evidence that ventilation can make a v significant difference in reducing #airborne viral transmission when indoors. @educationgovuk@GavinWilliamson
6/
- Repeatedly gaslight parents, staff & pupils by telling them “schools are safe”, kids don’t get sick or die from #COVID, few get #LongCovid & that children don’t spread #coronavirus, ignoring evidence to the contrary & rejecting FOI requests for the decisions #DfE have made.
7/
- Fund/support #COVIDDisinformation platforms whilst attacking & discrediting scientific & medical advice from across the world, claiming they’re “hysterical”“overreacting””fear mongering”.
- Allow/encourage #COVIDSceptic journalism to run rampant through the MSM. @BBCNews
8/
- Continue not to support self-isolation effectively & then “tweak the rules” so doubly vaccinated ppl no longer need to, even if a household member HAS COVID. Teachers, pupils, HCWs, all encouraged to behave “as normal” whilst the situation is anything but normal. @PHE_uk
9/
- Discredit unions insinuating they’re full of “lazy lefties”, reinforcing unhelpful & unnecessary L/R divisions. @NEUnion@NASUWT@TheBMA
- Ignore repeated pleas to fund effective mitigations but disingenuously persist w/ unscientific #HygieneTheatre like surface-wiping.
10/
I could go on, but sadly you know the rest.
❗️A masterclass in Pandemic Mismanagement❗️
Catastrophic serial incompetence yes, but it overlays a far more sinister PLAN to #LetCovidRip in a #GreatBarringtonDeclaration -esque fashion, repeatedly denied but obvious to so many.
11/
#COVID19UK - despite irrefutable evidence that #COVIDisAirborne & #CovidIsNotOver, EXCEPTIONAL 🏴ppl believe they’re DIFFERENT, BETTER, MORE DESERVING of FREEDOM than others.
😷s & social distancing is for wusses! Ventilation…pah!
Children sent completely unprotected into crowded, poorly ventilated schools.
CV/CEV children told they no longer are?
CV/CEV parents/families told to “get on with it”, forced to hide away for the sake of shoppers, party-goers, business owners, the wealthy & privileged.
13/
Teachers, educational staff, HCWs, other frontline workers told to #TakeItOnTheChin, to allow the HAVEs to HAVE MORE, the DON’T KNOWs to QUESTION & UNDERSTAND LESS.
And most importantly the DON’T CAREs to abdicate themselves of any responsibility, guilt or CARE!
Don’t let anyone tell you this is the only way.
4 days out of the UK last week confirmed clearly that the opposite is eminently possible & hugely beneficial to ppl’s health, wellbeing AND the economy.
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?
2/
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
2/
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/
Very moving thread @HZiauddeen, thank you 🙏🏻 for taking the time write it.
One of the reasons many of us are feeling so despairing of current govt “policy” is exactly as you highlight - we are just expected to “get on with it”, as if our feelings of moral injury don’t count. 1/4
Unnecessary human suffering, avoidable harm, preventable death & chronic disease….just because we may have seen it before doesn’t mean we’ll be able cope when it becomes our “new daily normal”.
There will be a tipping point.
Some have already reached it, others are close!
2/
We don’t appear to be more than a passing consideration in @10DowningStreet discussions on preventing the #NHS “being overwhelmed” & we’re still expected to wear an inadequate level of #PPE for the daily Russian roulette wheel of working w/ known or suspected #COVID patients,
