Short🧵In 2020 the Government shifted responsibilities to newly formed JBC

This was supposed to be the group that would be responsible for deciding when measures would be removed

Have they had any involvement in governments latest declare everything over strategy?
Remember the Viral Nandos chart and other iterations?

This was supppsee to have come from JBC, with them deciding what level of risk we are at

Problem is the JBC is shrouded in complete secrecy nearly two years after its creation.

We don't have a member list
We don't get minutes released
We haven't even heard any reference to them for a long time

I wonder if any Journalist will ask about JBC?
More on JBC here, although feels like government has given up on even using this secretive group to justify their decisions
Cost £9billion to set up and run JBC

Questions were raised about its set up
There is now a bit more information on the government website but it's still very limited considering cost and responsibility

🧵Latest SAGE advice to UK government

➡️SAGE minutes
➡️SPI
➡️Future evolution of SARS-COV-2

In summary, this doesn't support details coming out about the Government's "living with covid" plans
2/ To start with, future evolution of the virus document and the discussion of this in the SAGE meeting

Possible scenarios Image
3/ All scenarios assume we reach stable reoccurring patterns over a 2-10 year period

Immune escape of future variants and waning immunity will be important factors

Possible to end up with more than one variant co-circulating Image

Is this really appropriate behaviour from an organisation which is funding and acting as secretariat to a UK All Party Parliamentary Group?

A student at Stanford questions Bhattacharya's actions through the pandemic and they call him a snake

1/
2/ Then the pile on begins with the offer of a debate, but hosted and moderated by Prasad, not exactly a fair neutral when he's also been involved with Bhattacharya and Brownstone

"Hey want to play on an unequal playing field" Image
3/Worth bearing in mind that the offer was made for a town hall where Bhattacharya could answer to the student body, however despite his large international profile, Bhattacharya and his minions feel the need to set their own terms, looks like cowardice

RW media ignoring or distancing the far right links

A fact check on the past week
3/ People have been busy detailing the coalition of extremist, Qanon conspiracy, neo nazis, anti vaxxers etc

We've reached the point where the mob is looking for excuses to kick off, RW politicians and Media can now direct the mob with a single sentence

Same forces that acted when Trump said March of Capitol Hill
1/2
I notice this mob is calling itself the UK Freedom Convey, picking up directly off the orchestrated action in Canada

/2

Wonder why the mob is shouting about free masons, paedophiles and New World ordered? I see Piers Corbyn was there

Oh look its "Freedom" fighters assemble hanging out with Qanon John Mappin

I'm sure its all a coincidence

🧵Canadian Truckers, a case study on how the International Covid Disinformation Network operates to distort political debate and radicalise with the aim of destabilising democracies.

It's a cross border project
2/ To start with, the antivaxxers and disinformation groups are hiding behind anti mandate banners around the world are celebrating the Truckers, its no coincidence start of the convey coincided with Antivax fest in the US, expect copycat events elsewhere
3/ The convey is very similar to a 2020 Truckers rally in Mitchigan, same messaging, actions and even ppl, the aim is to bring the city to a halt, several UK commentators supporting this whilst they were all for locking up climate protestors last year
