🧡1. Johnson pursued herd immunity, the strategy is still mass infection
2. Due to a pro infection strategy particularly via schools the UK education system faced more disruption from outbreaks than seen in likes of Japan, Australia, South Korea etc

Education sacrificed by failure to control infection
3. Allowing the virus to rip through the population, putting short term wealth ahead of health has led to long term damage to wealth

Bank of England state long covid has caused considerable damage to workforce and the economy
4. Comparison with Japan shows that protecting health also protects the economy

Wealth vs Health arguement based on those that don't appreciate that an economy needs a healthy workforce
5. MPs and Media coopted by covid disinformation groups have caused long term harm to our country
6. However its likely that if Johnson goes the right wing project will continue

Conservative Party too beholden to the same opaquely funded groups controlling the Republican Party
7. Look at this governments asymmetric approach to free speech

Johnson going doesn't #StopTheRot
A whole cabinet clear out is required in order to protect fundamentals of democracy

8. They did let the bodies pile high, never forget, they were stacking up the bodies in tents set up in car parks
Pop up morgues!
9. And now this scandal
Private cancer services crash and burn, lot of Brexit/Reform links and Rishie Sunak's wife

🧡A cautionary tale in using the private sector

This was meant to be a revolutionary approach, NHS making use of a private provider

Well the private provider has gone bust!

But that's not all...
2. As ppl are pointing out there were clear red flags before today
3. And a complex financial structure...
Seriously we need to get a grip on these hydras

Certainly looks like it's more about erasing a minority group than changing room and toilet quandries

🧡What a joker

Heneghan on @thelucyjohnston podcast claims he was misrepresented by BBC and that he didn't say there would be second wave, while going on to explain that he didn't think there was a second wave under his definition
2/ Heneghan runs CEBM, on its website are his media appearances thought worthwhile sharing at the time

September "just normal coughs and colds"
3/ Here he is claiming no second wave, did he really this or was he being misrepresented? If he was being misrepresented why did he post it on his own organisations website?

🧡Around 30 students shouting and the Zahawi didn't get cancelled, nowhere near as chilling as the governments bills to clamp down on protest

The free speech bill has the potential to shut down views the gov doesn't approve of
2/ For instance the Universities minister has blocked NUS involvement due to allegations of antisemitism while at the same point defending the right of holocaust deniers speaking at universities

Tory attitude to free speech is incoherent and asymmetrical
3/ Free Speech Bill came out of Toby Youngs Free Speech Union, members helped draw up the legislation, its a tool for driving culture wars

See how Free Speech is treated in Republican states in the US
FSU set up with support of Peter Thiels chief of staff

🧡The Tories sound like the Republicans because the Conservative Party with all its links to opaquely funded libertarian think tanks has become part of the international radical right

Examples of Tories mimicking Republicans, policies too
2/ Just look at the Hungarian CPAC
3/ Free speech reforms

But if its happening in Sweden where they kept schools open then it's not some form of Imaginary "immunity debt"

It's a total mystery, just like hepatitis...
Mystery
Complete mystery
