Deaths in South Africa are still rising despite reported cases having peaked a while ago
#r4today Image
Gov said isolation would only be shortened if it was supported by the science

Latest science says Omicron is infectious at least as long as Delta, likely a bit longer

Would be good if #r4today scrutinised the gov decision
Talk of removing masks in classrooms, child hospitalisations at record levels and still increasing Image
Talk of treating covid like flu...
Flu isn't capable of what covid can do to the body
And Omicron reinfections are already occurring, building up immunity through infection? Ain't going to happen

🧵To say let we just need to accept vulnerable deaths when we haven't bothered to invest in ventilation and filtration is just barbaric, we probably can't get to zero deaths but we can reduce deaths without inconvenience
2/ Though its not surprising, some of us have spent years campaigning to remove asbestos from schools, we know where it is, we just can't get policy makers to release the funding to remove it, instead we get "monitor it, we'll act once it breaks up"
3/ I have friends whove lost loved ones from aggressive cancers from asbestos in their schools
Mate Hank Roberts had to fight to reveal cover ups where ppl knew asbestos was breaking up but they just couldn't be bothered to admit to it and cough up the cash

This is yet more gaslighting, spent 2 hours in a room with no bloody windows, if the current ventilation was adequate we wouldn't have so many infected kids!

1/
No need to invest in purifiers because everything is fine?

Disruption to be installed? Portable ones just get wheeled in and plugged in

Are they idiots or do they think we are the idiots? Image
Also Miriam Cates asked "whats the point in preventing transmission in schools"

Someone's been spending too much time taking advice from the GBD (she's vice chair of the APPG the herd immunity quacks are funding) Image

🧵Skeptic MPs team up with members from disinformation groups Collateral Global, HART and the Great Barrington Declaration to pen a letter demanding an end to child vaccination

Put out via Toby Young Daily Skeptic by Will Jones, who doesnt mention hes a HART member ImageImage
2/ I warned about this APPG right from the start, its funded by the opaquely funded Collateral Global who also act as secretariat, its a continuation of the Great Barrington Declaration linked to Koch institutions
3/ For those that aren't aware GBD are the key pushers of the herd immunity strategy, they are linked to the AIER,

Collateral Global won't reveal their funders, yet they've used this money to buy a parliamentary group

🧵As other countries are ramping up use of LFTs while UK gov want to go the other way

Going to guess this comes alongside end of mandatory isolation if you have covid, as current release policy won't work without them

UK Gov thinks its got an "Endgame" plan...
2/ Scrapping testing has been pushed by GBD advocates for over a year, gov has been considering ending free LFTs for some time with "operation ramp down" and scaling back test and trace, if Omicron hadn't arrived they'd probably already have announced this.
3/ Are they embracing "The pandemic stops when we stop testing" flawed stance?

Is it the idea that this kind of health spending damages wealth?

It does suggest they are seeing Omicron as the last variant they'll have to react to

Don't worry, apparently Long Covid is imaginary, forget those brain scans and micro clots, its just in your head..
From gaslighting long covid, to "transmission not an issue in schools its all that mixing at school gates and sleepovers", he does have a track record

Also using the language of antivaxxers around child vax in this attack on @IndependentSage for calling for 12-15 vax
There is a small group of paediatricians who have produced most the evidence to block measures in schools
They dismiss hospitalisations, deaths, total minimisers, they've provided the shield for Ministers to hide behind

This is a lie, what measures do primary schools have besides opening a window?

Nothing

The government has done nothing to protect CEV households, Focused protection looks a lot like Darwinian survival
#edutwitter
Schools are so safe the Government expects so many staff to get sick that we will have to have 60-90 kids being taught in a hall due to staff shortages

This is literally the plan, keep going until your the last person standing, what do CEV staff do?
Heard several times yesterday that "the majority of teachers are young"
What about those that aren't?
What about young staff with diabetes, organ transplants, immunicompromised, cancer etc?
What about those with at risk family members?

These are the people who have been silenced
