With huge thanks to @KatyMcconkey for the tip-off I have dug up this original post. It's almost like they knew Covid is airborne and thought it was important everyone else knew it too! I dug a bit deeper... 🧵
...I found images from the whole "Stop Covid-19 Hanging Around" advert campaign story board! Would you like to see them? Ok 👇. Now guess where I found them... Three images, two depicting black smoke, one coming out of a person's mouth and accumulating in the room at a dinner table. Each has public health messaging - always take a lateral flow test before you meet up especially in crowded spaces; If it's positive, stay at home, protect your mates; Stop Covid-19 hanging around.
They were used to illustrate what looks like an internal Government Communication Service blog on the importance of social media messaging to outpace the spread of Covid-19. Here's the link in case you'd like to learn more about this important topic: gcs.civilservice.gov.uk/blog/campaign-…
Such a shame the Government's message never reached Lisa Ritchie, Chair of the UK IPC Cell (clearly no way connected to Govt & definitely not a rogue cell🤔) or anyone with input into/ responsibility for IPC across the UK. It still hasn't. I just hope it reaches @covidinquiryuk Dr Lisa Ritchie, NHSE Infection Prevention & Control is asked at #covidinquiry if #CovidIsAirborne: Q. Is that still your position after all the evidence we’ve heard, the primary mode of transmission for #COVID19 is droplets & contact? A. That’s my position ‼️‼️ #LongCovid

You know the rise in Covid must be bad when @BBCNews feels the need to say it isn't. Yet another great case study of minimisation & manipulation. Here's a thread on how they do it. Sorry it's long. Even so it's just a quick recap on a few key tactics 🧵bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
Are we in a Summer Covid wave? "It's difficult to tell..We no longer collect national data..as far less testing takes place now. That means many cases of Covid are not being recorded." Hang on to this. One thing they do is include contradictory statements without joining the dots
This means that should anyone (e.g. me) accurately accuse them of making unevidenced statements, presented as if unequivocal fact, they can also accurately say that 'the article clearly stated that evidence was lacking'. So that's just fine then. Or not.

Final impact statements @covidinquirysco health & social care module today & tomorrow. None on the impact on CV people. It seems not only is our continued existence - our continued clinical vulnerability to continuing Covid - to be denied, we're to be written out of history😡🧵
You'd think the Inquiry would prioritise the people most vulnerable to severe illness & death from Covid, at greatest risk when protections were removed & most likely to need health & soc care; people still leading restricted precarious lives & more likely to die. You'd be wrong
They have been sitting for over 6 weeks on my approx 50 page 20k word written statement on lived experience of CV people & analysis, that I was invited to prepare by Counsel when the module was already well under way, with the possibility of being called to give oral evidence

Ok @guardian. Why are you publishing this unscientific, damaging, discriminatory rubbish? Why the wholly misleading headline? Why on #LongCovidAwarenessDay of all days? You have some serious explaining - & apologising - to do 🧵
theguardian.com/society/2024/m…
The ‘study’ this dreadful article concerns is pre-peer review & pre-publication, even as a pre-print.
It was debunked in 2023.

Landmark legal action – could be the first of many. Not just health boards but governments have failed to take Long Covid seriously – probably the biggest mass disabling event in the UK in our lifetimes - and it's still destroying lives. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotla…
Why are children still getting very ill from Covid & other preventable airborne infections? Why's nothing being done, though we now know Covid causes long-term bodily damage, dysregulates immune systems making it harder to fight off other infections, & reinfection makes it worse?
There has been so much learning about the widespread long-term damage even mild covid can do and about treatments that work. People like @drclairetaylor and @Sunny_Rae1 have been at the forefront. So why's the approach of most medical professionals still stuck in the dark ages?

No, @jasonleitch, the removal of requirements to wear masks, and in social care settings the personal choice to wear them, is about as far from ‘a good thing’ as it is possible to get. Please allow me to explain why. No, don’t thank me, you’re welcome! 🧵bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotla…
It’s not a good thing that people who are still clinically vulnerable will have no choice but to go into – even live in – unsafe environments where they run serious risk of being exposed to a life-changing/ ending virus. Whatever happened to the human right to life?
It’s not a good thing that government has shifted its policy from ‘remember to protect the vulnerable’ to ‘justify why you should’. It’s not a good thing that you’ve made taking action to protect yourself and other people into a rebellious act of defiance against authority.

Am shaking with rage & shock. @SMS_plc guy arrived to fit smart meter not wearing a mask despite me making v clear when booked that essential due to my high clinical risk. Said he was exempt. I said I was sorry but unfortunately that meant he wasn't able to come into the house &
told him I'd made that clear when booking. He said I'd have to reschedule as he'd need to touch plugs, etc. I told him that was ok, Covid doesn't spread by touch [even if it did, easily rectified]. He insisted it was, I said no, in fact it wasn't, whereupon he angrily
slammed the door & stormed off. This is the kind of aggressive disciminatory behaviour clinically high risk people are subjected to these days. It's disgusting & unacceptable. I'll lodge a formal complaint - & @GoodEnergy you need to reconsider what companies you partner with.
