Do you remember when we all wore masks at the height of the pandemic to protect ourselves and others?

It was a simple way to show our commitment to public health in a powerful act of solidarity.

But the fight against Covid is not over.

There are vulnerable individuals who still need to visit healthcare facilities for essential care.

We must ALL continue to protect them by wearing masks in healthcare.

Nobody wants to inadvertently infect those who are immunocompromised, elderly, or have chronic health conditions. They deserve our support and care.

Wearing masks in healthcare can help prevent the spread of respiratory illnesses and protect lives.

#LongCovid is a growing concern, even for the healthy, after recovering from Covid infections.

By wearing a mask we also protect others from long-term symptoms that affect their quality of life.

4/ #MasksInHealthcare

Don't forget Clinically Vulnerable healthcare workers who have been on the frontlines throughout the pandemic, providing care to those in need.

By wearing masks in healthcare we can create a safer environment for them to continue their vital work.

5/ #MasksInHealthcare
Wearing masks in healthcare is not just about protecting ourselves but also showing empathy and compassion towards those who are most vulnerable.

It's a small act that can make a huge difference to safeguard the health of everyone.

6/ #MasksInHealthcare
We need your help to support #MasksInHealthcare by signing and sharing our petition.

AND

Please also remember to #MaskUp to show your solidarity and empathy by protecting vulnerable lives.

-Thanks you! πŸ™

Clinically Vulnerable Rights ARE Human Rights

Let's talk about how public health measures are impacting human rights, specifically for Clinically Vulnerable people and households.

1/
Masks are a vital protection for those with health conditions. The withdrawal of masks in healthcare is concerning.

Clinically Vulnerable people have lost freedoms and are facing discrimination in: workplaces; schools; court hearings & job centres; without remote options.

2/
'Personal responsibility' can't replace public health. Clinically Vulnerable people are unfairly burdened to protect themselves, while being denied basic rights.

This breaches their rights under Article 14 of the HRA, which guarantees the right to non-discrimination.

⚠️ Hobson's Choice - #StillHome ⚠️

Decisions presented as *choices* - but with no viable options - have meant that #3Years since lockdown our members continue to live reduced lives.

@RishiSunak's government do not care for vulnerable people & they don't want you to hear us.

🧡 Image
We have lost our JOBS and HOMES.

By not making workplaces safe Clinically Vulnerable people have had to choose between lives and livelihoods.

One in four severely immunosuppressed people reported having lost a job due to the risks from Covid.

Most *chose* to quit.

2/
We have lost SCHOOLING.

Over half of Clinically Vulnerable Families report being encouraged by schools / local education authorities to withdraw their children from education by threatening fines and prosecutions.

1 in 5 have *chosen* home education.

⚠️ Clinically Vulnerable people are struggling.

We are * 3️⃣ YEARS * into a pandemic (ask the @WHO) and our needs have not been addressed.

Protections were withdrawn one by one and the removal of these measures has unfairly disadvantaged us.

1/ STILL HOME Image in the s...
We are STILL HOME.
We are living part lives.
Our freedoms have been lost.

If you are not in a vulnerable group this information will likely have slipped you by. You will not have noticed us struggling because we are no longer in your view.

2/
We move around like ninjas.
We avoid crowded places.
We probably don't meet with you any more.

This is not through choice. This has been thrust upon us, by the same government that joked they would

"Let the bodies pile high in their hundreds of thousands.".

Dear @ONS

We are concerned about the abrupt end to the Covid-19 Infection Survey which we feel will unfairly result in barriers and disadvantages to protected groups:

Disabled (those who are Clinically Vulnerable), Elderly and Ethnic Minorities.

1/
 gov.uk/government/new…
You call it a "pause" but it means a STOP.

@janemerrick23 explained the gold
standard' survey has been key to our
surveillance. The @WHO have not declared
an end to the pandemic and lives remain
under threat of death & serious injury (Long
Covid).

2/
inews.co.uk/news/politics/…
We need this information to risk assess. It also provides essential information on the impacts on our members.

When the government told us last year to Live with Covid they took away testing and isolation, measures that protected us all from infection and reinfection.

People follow rules when they are clear:
"KEEP LEFT ⬅️"

Any ambiguities result in uncertain outcomes:

"Try to keep left if it feels right for you"
would probably result in a lot of accidents.

1/🧡
Imagine having to explain to your car insurance following an accident, in such circumstances wouldn't be easy...

When we have clear information individuals, employers, healthcare, schools, and businesses can act with certainty.

Rules help to protect lives and health.

2/
If you change the rules you need to carefully consider the consequences for all people in all circumstances.

Many new emergency laws were passed during the height of the pandemic which had notable negative effects on lives.

⚠️ Another Clinically Vulnerable Family in court.

This family had 2 children with a rare genetic condition which limits their ability to respond to infections.

They had RETURNED to school for a year when their Local Authority issued a summons.

1/
The prosecutions related to absences from a time *before* these highly vulnerable children were vaccinated.

The parents went to court, initially before Christmas without representation due to incredibly short notice (postal strikes were blamed).

They pleaded "NOT GUILTY".

2/
However, they were (like our previous family) also taken to a side room and advised to plead guilty by the prosecution lawyer. They were also told that they didn't need legal representation as nobody else usually does in these cases.
