Positive about infections, consider using them as way of booster infections in adults

🧵JCVI minutes published...

Looks like I was right, JCVI mainly only looked at PHE's own studies, the ones they've gaslit us with for over 18 months

Also show an unhealthy number of assumptions with little evidence to back them, and very positive about benefits of infection
One of the presenters providing evidence on harms to children was Ladhani, who used mainly his own studies which concluded transmission isn't a significant issue in schools.
"The bioethics community has concerns about vaccination that doesn't directly benefit the individual"

Who make up the bioethics community?

Sticking to "community transmission" line, though accepts secondaries played some role in December

🧵Isolation booths

The article is a bit of a mess, ban/regulate are interchanged, isolate/segregate interchanged

Its a subject where sides are firmly entrenched and its used to batter wider views on education

I don't like booths but fine with removal roomss with tables in rows Image
Students do need to be removed from lessons at times, for a large number of students getting taken out for the rest of the lesson and getting a detentention is enough of a deterrent.

But we all know students out all the time, falling further behind, they get stuck in a cycle
We aren't going to see booths or removals banned, no matter how exercised ppl get about it, its not on policy makers radar, we can't even get protections from a virus thats killed hundreds of us.

But booths/removal arent a solution, its a short term fix to keep a lesson going

In the 2019GE Johnson claimed education had increased under the Tories
2017GE May claimed the same
2015GE Cameron claimed the same

Unions were accused of scaremongering about funding, @AlokSharma_RDG's exact words in a letter to me
#edutwitter
Oh look here is @JamesCleverly refuting the statement that education spending had fallen since 2010
More on funding issues, 10s of 1000s of students off rolled and impact on SEND pupils

@adamhfinn talking with @Kit_Yates_Maths on @StephenNolan earlier

Finn says children less infectious, children more likely to be infected by adults than the other way round, schools not a significant issue for transmission

1/
Questioned about JCVI data being published, he says he's tweeted about it, have to consider risks of vaccination, then tries to dismiss it with "well minutes haven't been published yet, there's no conspiracy"

However the data has always been published a lot quicker than this
2/
But one of Finns final comments sticks out "we shouldn't be blaming children"

Sorry but thats an arguement I've only heard from a certain section of people, like "children need their own union"

Classic dismissal line used against those worried about children being infected

#r4today Paper review
1. @FraserNelson claims NHS isn't in crisis.
Would this be the @spectator which has disinformation group HARTs David Paton as a writer
Fraser who a year ago claimed we had herd immunity and would get no second wave?
#r4today then quotes Philip Thomas who claimed in March 2020 that lockdowns kill more than covid, advised the treasury to unlock regardless and now works for the Spectator. A year ago he claimed no second wave

Why choose to quote these people?
3. #r4today had a headline that Government is going to provide laptops for disadvantaged students,
Without mentioning that they promised this in April 2020 and still haven't delivered

This is a failure to hold Government to account

🧵Internal Tory Party Politics will be the death of some of us

Freedom is the new Sovereignty of Parliament which resulted in the illegal poroguing of Parliament

The call for Freedom at all costs takes us ever further away from freedom and normality
2/ If we want to get back to normal we need to get RO below one, we need to understand that #COVIDisAirborne and appreciate what the virus actually does to morbidity and the immune system

Its not endemic and living with it makes healthcare unsustainable
3/ As others have said we need an air sanitation revolution in much the way we did in regards to water sanitation when we came to understand waterborne pathogens

This also puts us in a far stronger position when another variant or pandemic comes along
