1/x 🧵 Regarding Evusheld on Bupa. It makes me sad that if you are immunocompromised with cancer, autoimmune disease, kidney disease or on immunocompromised want COVID protection, you won't get it on the NHS. Your only choice is to go to private healthcare. 🏥

2/x It feels wrong that if you are #immunocompromised and wealthy 💸, then you will get coronavirus protection, BUT... if you are #immunocompromised and poor 🪙👛, you can't. This is going to cause equality based on how much you earn. This doesn't feel right or British. 🇬🇧

@RobertJenrick

3/x Some hope? Maybe @RobertJenrick has not yet to be tested and maybe he might see the right solution here. After all, HEALTH 💪should be for all, COVID PROTECTION 🧑‍🚀should be for all, COMPASSION should be for all 🫂. This ad from today now seems much most apt👇👇🙁😢

@RobertJenrick

1/x 🧵A friend sent me this asking what is this about? I found out. This is the story of what led to to this most public and most significant direct patient plea to @RobertJenrick I have not seen this EVER happen before. #forgotten500k

2/x It's coming from the 500,000 who are immunocompromised who are at risk from COVID-19. Still unable to work, see friends or hug loved ones. They are #forgotten500k, unheard and calling on us to notice. They have collected donations to ask for help from power. Hence all the ads

3/x They want protection that has been given to 32 other countries, but decision making has been stalled in the UK. They would like prophylactic antibody therapies to prevent them getting unwell with COVID as cases rise.

@EdinburghUni

1/x 🧵 ***NEW RESEARCH *** from @EdinburghUni. The paper is relevant for the #immunocompromised and #evusheld and #forgotten500k. It really acts as a WAKE UP & ACT call. It a good paper. thelancet.com/journals/lance…

https://twitter.com/TheLancet/status/1580849693944602624

2/x What's the background? The pandemic continues. 👾Some people are at excess risk and can't hug loved ones, see family or enter normal life 😢. We all believe they are the #immunocompromised, but what does the data show? 💻

3/x This data looked at 16 208 600 vaccined individuals across England🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿, Scotland🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿, Ireland 🇮🇪 and Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿. i.e. EVERYONE. From Dec 8, 2020, and Feb 28, 2022, so it includes the OMICRON ERA, so relevant. Risk was very carefully defined.

@bloodcancer_uk

1/x 🧵 ICYMI, the largest UK health campaign has just kicked off today. For the #immunocompromised in the UK, young and old, those with cancer, @bloodcancer_uk, autoimmune disease, transplants and kidney disease. And it's making a huge splash. I've been asked to comment.

2/x What's the background? There are half a million immunocompromised people in the UK. Many are still shielding, still in isolation, still unable to work, see friends or hug loved ones. They are #forgotten500k, unheard and calling on us to notice.

@RobertJenrick

3/x Health campaigns are rare . Rarely are patients so motivated to demand action from MPs like @RobertJenrick. They are a minority, facing a niche issue, which is easy to dismiss. It's even worse if you can't leave the house because you are still shielding. How are you heard?

1/x 🧵Worried to be thrown into a big Berlin protest #whs2022. I am here for #immunocompromised patients and learn about better covid prevention. Now there’s protester glued to the buildings, shouting 😡 at the 3500 conferences attendees about climate change. Police have arrived.

https://twitter.com/scientistrebel1/status/1581696353029083136

2/x This all is not good. Global collective approaches are essential. People must talk. Leaders must talk. Then there should be action. When people don’t feel there is transparency and have to protest, something has gone DEEPLY wrong.

@IAPartnership

3/x There must be DEEP trust and transparency in leaders. We must bring the public with us and explain the pros and cons. There should not be closed doors. These are key messages that the @IAPartnership are pushing and trained us to deliver. Protests=failure
