I don’t know where to start with this profoundly ignorant selfish stupid tweet from @EstherMcVey1 who clearly has no compassion for the 100,000s of people who died or were damaged by #COVID19Pandemic - not least those unprotected in the #NHS due to lack of #PPE early on 1/

#masks do work. We reduced transmission in in centre #haemodialysis #patients radically once they wore masks door to door. 3% of all such #patients died in the first wave Esther & we were told off for giving them masks. 80+ #patients died at our centre alone. It was brutal 2/

Don’t take my word for it (though I’m way more expert than you @EstherMcVey1) - read this thread from @trishgreenhalgh who is a world expert on how #Covid19 is airborne & how #masks protect yourself AND others

And the please correct your dangerous ignorant tweet 3/

You mention your precious #freedoms but are they not also the right of the #vulberable, the #elderly, the #immunosuppressed? Your govt has refused to purchase #Evusheld to protect the #immunocompromised many of whom do not respond to #vaccines. They have no freedom. 4/

Your ignorance is breathtaking.
You prioritise your #freedom not to wear a #mask at the expense of what may be a #vulnerable person’s life - tells me everything about the values of this govt

I actually cannot remember when a tweet made me so angry. SHAME ON YOU @EstherMcVey1 5/
