UK 🇬🇧 is entering its 4th wave of #COVID19 in one year. Led by Conservative leaders who don’t give a damn about even hospital 🏥 admissions, vaccinating kids, school safety, all while NHS staff burnout & quit … I worry how bad this fall and winter will be. #CovidIsNotOver Image
Thank god at least UK 🇬🇧 saved its economy by ignoring COVID…. Oh wait…
3) Hospitalizations for #COVID surging across Western Europe, not just in UK. Autumn has barely begun. How bad will it get by winter? Unclear trajectory because we have over a dozen worrisome variants now, not a single variant wave anymore. Worried. Image
4) It seems hospitals in UK are buckling under the weight of record high waiting list and ER waiting times and ambulance response. I’m convinced the goal of UK conservative leadership is to make the NHS crumble so that it can blame NHS for failure and then force privatization.
5) Even scarier is that UK is actively trying to depress childhood vaccinations for #COVID19 —there’s safe & effective vaccines for kids yet it’s not mentioned at all, while kids vaccines for flu are. It’s incredibly telling. And hence why UK kids are suffering high 2022 numbers
6) All of the UK 🇬🇧 except NI is seeing surge. Not good. Image
7) why the UK 🇬🇧 surge? Besides no mitigation — it’s Variants bro. Variants. #Chiron (#BA2752) and #Cereberus (#BQ11) and #BN1 which doesn’t even have an informal nickname yet.

@TRyanGregory? Care to nickname BN1 for us? ImageImage
8) Update- the variant #BN1 now has a nickname of “Hydra” 🐍— thanks @TRyanGregory

⚠️PFAS IS BACK—recall the EPA plan to ban dangerous forever chemicals from drinking water ➡️Well, Trump WH just cancelled it… once again allowing big corporations to discharge PFAS into rivers. PFAS cause cancers & many diseases. Does this make American healthy again? Image
2) “There really isn’t a system within the human body that isn’t affected by PFAS. They are toxic in many ways, but they’re also very long-lived. They’re designed not to break down in the environment or not to break down to heat and chemical stress.”

3) CDC also just got banned from seeking any advice or input from the WHO — CDC can’t communicate or even enter any WHO building anymore. Perfect way to politically isolate CDC from outside science.

NEW—CDC officially ordered by Trump WH to cease working with the @WHO, effective immediately. This is the first time in almost 77 years since WHO’s founding after World War 2. This is a dark day. Image
2) the memo said the stop-work policy applied to “all CDC staff engaging with WHO through technical working groups, coordinating centers, advisory boards, cooperative agreements or other means — in person or virtual.”
3) It also says @CDCgov staff are not allowed to visit @WHO offices.

CDC ordered to stop working with WHO immediately, upending expectations of an extended withdrawal

🛑JUST CANCELLED—Trump HHS has just cancelled key meetings of the Presidential Advisory Council on Combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria (PACCARB) & CDC’s Environmental Public Health Threats meeting—➡️all because of Trump WH’s new blackout of all HHS external comms. My god. Image
Image
2) Trump WH is literally blocking all of this… including all CDC science reports and all FDA public alerts!
3) CDC’s bird flu tracker now frozen / muzzled today too. Worst possible timing.
