But they already have this power via the covid bill, they've used it several times, Greenwich and to several schools who tried to break up for half term
So @halfon4harlowMP is doing this just for UsForThem/CRG brownie points
And who is calling for school closures? People want measures like ventilation and masks

This is about reframing calls for measures as calling for lockdown,
@halfon4harlowMP
April and May 2020
Prioritise testing in schools, PPE in schools to reduce transmission, nightingale schools for social distancing

Then Tory chums put him in contact with UsForThem....

Why put de Souza in charge of if schools need measures? This should be Public Health officials, scientific advisors and Heads decisions

Funny she's worried about kids staying in school when her Trust was one of the worst for off rolling #edutwitter
And disinformation group Us for Them are saying that they are behind @halfon4harlowMP's 10 minute rule bill
Reminder Miriam Cates read out Us For Them's words in Westminster Hall, quoting Patton from antivax HART group

@halfon4harlowMP did the same next day at Education Select Committee
#edutwitter
Collateral Global, one of the main sources of disinformation throughout the pandemic have their bought their own APPG, and guess who is involved
Failure to report on MPs links to coordinated disinformation groups is s travesty
I have a template letter please send to as many MPs as possible, provides links to evidences journalism

Very little media coverage of the JCVI minutes, except @DailyMailUK that decides to take a pro infecting children stance

And do so by platforming Livermore who was a member of antivax HART group.
Image
Some basic journalism would have helped

"Human shields" wasn't an Independent SAGE comment, it was a US MD who writes extensively about covid disinformation

⬇️
Article then gives a platform to people who have been constantly wrong, including GBDs Livermore, and goes on to try and create concern for 5+ vaccines Image

🧵Stories that should be scandalous headlines, because they have caused preventable death and suffering

The lab failures, no idea how big the issue is, crony contracts at the heart of it
2. JCVI minutes regarding the decision not to offer vaccination

Positive about infections, consider using them as way of booster infections in adults
3. The role of politicians and coordinated disinformation groups

🧵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
