🚨🚨 BREAKING - there was a key debate in the UK Parliament today on the Pandemic Treaty.

Link to transcript at end of thread.

Some important points made, but overall too many hollow reassurances from WHO-appeasing MPs who seemed to have not read the underlying texts.

Cont...
In particular, those pointing to the reaffirmation of the principle of sovereignty contained in the preamble to the draft treaty appear not to understand that proposals contained in a separate text, the amendments to the IHR, cut across this.
MPs retreating to a recital of past WHO achievements in unrelated fields whilst slinging mud at those asking challenging questions appear to be blind to the changing nature of WHO funding and conflicts.

Thousands of parents - many of whom have contacted us in exasperation - will be pleased and relieved to hear @educationgovuk is championing children against local authorities clamouring for continued restrictions on their education, @nadhimzahawi.

@nadhimzahawi please could you start by having a word with @hertscc public health director @jimmcmanusph?

His team appear to be fixated on a 'Zero Covid' outcome, with the children of Hertfordshire paying a heavy price for this extreme ideology.

Here is a video of the Herts Public Health meeting on 12 November 2021, with some worrying revelations at 2hr35-2hr43 showing very little understanding of parents' concerns about mitigations, or compassion for children's learning and wellbeing.

Dear @nadhimzahawi
'As Ed. Sec. you should have the best interests of children as yr priority. Pls explain how children having yet again to endure the wearing of masks whilst at school is of any benefit to them...

...Most children who have CV19 suffer very mildly and recover well. The psychological damage you are enforcing with mask wearing is cruel and we are yet to learn the long term damage...Facial expression is hugely important for development, understanding and communication...
2/4
...I am appalled to also read that whilst you announce the wearing of masks in schools you are attending an Awards ceremony without masks. This is a strong demonstration of contradictory behaviour, something that again is a cruel & disrespectful action towards our children...

Dear @sajidjavid

It's October & we're still waiting for the promised end-September review of the policy of mass testing healthy children - where is it?

RCPCH called for mass testing to end, stating it interrupts school attendance

With 10.5% absence, this should be a priority
@RCPCHtweets 13/9/21:

"Routine testing of children without symptoms is still interrupting children and teenagers’ school attendance and we do not believe this should continue. Instead, schoolchildren should be tested only if they have symptoms of COVID-19"
Dr Camilla Kingdon, RCPCH:

“We want schools to be enabled to rethink their approach to managing Covid. Children & teenagers need to focus on their education & school attendance must be encouraged without being interrupted by routine testing of asymptomatic children & teenagers"

Apparently @educationgovuk is making a decision tomorrow on its masks in class policy. A reminder of how we feel about that in this thread.
We sent a pre-action letter to @GavinWilliamson @educationgovuk on 23rd March.

It has yet to be unanswered.

Snippets here.
In that letter we explained why requiring masks in class, for minimal or no proven benefit, and without having assessed the risks to children's health, welfare and educational experience, is irrational, disproportionate and unlawful; not to mention morally vacant.

So, school closures are back on the agenda and the "crunch meeting" between @educationgovuk and @10DowningStreet is today. So, before the inevitable tragic error is made for a second time, let's talk about the effects of #longschoolclosure
We will start with the obvious, loss of learning. School closures deny children from all backgrounds the chance to get the education they need to build a bright future. It is estimated that every day of school closure equates to 40,000 years of lost education.
Digital divide. Lack of access to the internet, suitable computers and teaching resources means many children are excluded from online learning.

Variations in access to tech, are increasing inequalities in both academic attainment and social engagement.
