⚠️ #MyMaskMyVote ⚠️

Clinically Vulnerable people (and others wearing masks) will be asked to remove them for the local elections due to new rules on voter ID, potentially putting them at risk.

1/
 inews.co.uk/news/politics/…
The Electoral Commission has said people wearing face coverings only need to remove them "momentarily" for ID checks by polling station staff, but we argue that they need to go further to ensure the safety of the Clinically Vulnerable.

@GwynneMP raised this urgent issue for us in Parliament on Thursday.

We urge the government to allow Clinically Vulnerable, and anyone masking, to have IDs checked outdoors, with staff masked, Covid tested and distanced along with ventilation inside polling stations.

The Electoral Commission has shared its equality impact assessments, which are inadequate, not fit for purpose, as they do not consider how the Clinically Vulnerable or elderly could be affected by the new rules.

It is crucial that the government takes the concerns of Clinically Vulnerable people seriously and makes the necessary adjustments to protect their rights to vote in a safe environment and ensure safe voting for all.

SPRING BOOSTERS #MasksInHealthcare

The Spring booster campaign brings together the most vulnerable people for their 6 monthly vaccines - which are known to wane after 5m.

This is a highly vulnerable cohort of patients.

One of our Facebook members shares their story:

1/ Clinically Vulnerable Famil...Oh and she said people who ...It's utterly dystopian as i...
It is incredibly worrying that the staff and volunteers at the centre were not wearing masks, particularly when interacting with vulnerable patients. The failure to follow basic infection prevention and control measures places our most vulnerable community at risk.

2/
Conflicting information provided to the patient about mask-wearing is a concern. Patients should receive clear information about safety protocols where many people are in close contact.

Miscommunication is not only confusing, but it prevents people from making safe choices.

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.

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.

⚠️ 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.

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.
