We predicted this & been shouting about this publicly trying to get Gov&PH to put in Public Health protections FOR YEARS to prevent this. And honestly, given that endothelial dysfunction & atherosclerosis are largely silent progressive diseases for several years - I think what 1/ Image

2/we are seeing now is still only the tip of the Iceberg of the cardiovascular disease to come. We know SARS2 reinfections increases the risk of Cardiovascular disease cumulatively yet We are allowing our citizens to get repeatedly reinfected with a vasculotropic virus! We are
3/allowing our CHILDREN to get repeatedly reinfected at schools and we are STILL DOING NOTHING TO PROTECT THEM. And cardiovascular disease in kids has almost doubled in those who have been infected with Covid

4/…..Covid damages our blood vessels (endothelium), endothelial damage is the precursor to atherosclerosis (cholesterol plaque disease and hardening of the arteries), atherosclerosis causes heart attacks and strokes several years or decades later. Covid also activates fibrin
5/and platelets, this makes our blood more likely to clot, blood clots in the coronary and cerebral arteries causing heart attacks and strokes. Covid also increases the risk of heart failure.

We are allowing our children to get repeatedly reinfected with a vascular virus that

@UKHSA 8/…..or another 10yrs?……while our PH & IPC still argue droplet dogma and “respirators don’t work” in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary? Is our media still going to protest this is still “just a cold” despite us already knowing the highest relative rise in
@UKHSA 9/ excess death in 2022 was in the 25-44year and 45-64yr age groups?

@UKHSA 10/is our Department of Education still going to try and address our schools attendance crisis by pushing parents to send children with respiratory infections into unmitigated classrooms of 30 with poor ventilation to spread a virus we know is damaging brains and blood vessels?
@UKHSA 11/ is the REALLY THE LONG TERM PLAN?

How do you think that’s going to work out?

What are we doing to our children…..?

Our job is to protect our kids

We *should* have been doing that from the start

We need to start doing now.

@broadwaybabyto @drclairetaylor @DaliaHasanMD @PutrinoLab @MLS_Dave @DavidJoffe64 That’s easy
1) to protect myself
2) to protect others
3) because Covid isn’t over, isn’t a cold & is still disabling between 5-7% per infection
4) because it’s damaging our brains and blood vessels - even in some in the absence of symptoms or awareness
5) bc Covid is doubling 1/
@broadwaybabyto @drclairetaylor @DaliaHasanMD @PutrinoLab @MLS_Dave @DavidJoffe64 2/our risk of heart attacks and strokes for up to 3yrs after index infection
6) bc every reinfection cumulatively increases risk of long covid, heart attacks, strokes, other cvs disease, brain damage, neurological disorders including POTS/dysautonomia, risks of dementia &
@broadwaybabyto @drclairetaylor @DaliaHasanMD @PutrinoLab @MLS_Dave @DavidJoffe64 3/Parkinson’s disease, diabetes and endocrine disease and autoimmune disease,

Is this an actual Parody…? While sleeping, eating & drinking are generally good advice for health, & indeed fairly essential for life….NONE of these things are going to stop you catching a highly infectious airborne vasculotropic virus! 🤯1/2

express.co.uk/life-style/hea…
7 things that might *actually* stop you catching Covid XEC:
1) Use multi-layered protections
2) Avoid busy crowded poorly ventilated indoor spaces
3) Wear a well fitting FFP3/N99 respirator when can’t do 2)
4) Ensure adequate ventilation- CO2 monitors & open windows

2/
5)Add hepa filters when ventilation still inadequate
6) Ensure vaccines up to date
7) Encourage testing - and when symptomatic DON’T SPREAD INFECTION TO OTHERS, ie DONT send infectious kids to school, employers support infectious adults to WFH

1/witnessed a discussion where one person has told another they shouldn’t speak the truth about Covid bc they could cause real harm by confronting others denialism which may be trauma induced. This made me think. Pandemic induced trauma & MH AND Sars2 induced Chr diseases & LC …
2/BOTH exist and ignoring one to “manage” the other won’t make the existence or risks of either go away. This shouldn’t be & doesn’t need to be an either/or situation. We need to acknowledge and treat both.
Regarding risks of Long COVID we need:
1) better education & PH messaging
2) Public health preventions (clean air, respirator masks in hospitals & public transport)
3) Funding for LC research to fund effective treatments
4) Better care pathways for patients and teaching/training guidelines for doctors

Regarding Pandemic induced trauma:
-we need

@00SarahBear00 @CovidSolidarit1 Hi Sarah 👋. I run a long Covid medical clinic. Been seeing LC patients since mid 2020 before it had a name.The stories are absolutely heartbreaking. And generally have a common theme. So many young previously fit & healthy people who are severely disabled now, often bedridden 1/
@00SarahBear00 @CovidSolidarit1 2/some in almost permanent PEM, many in constant pain, all in a living hell. The vast majority had no real idea of the dangers they were putting themselves in because the lack of honest PH messaging & the volume of misinformation out there made them believe bc they were young 2/
@00SarahBear00 @CovidSolidarit1 3/and fit and healthy that they were safe & couldn’t get long covid, and if they did it was just a bit of fatigue right? The utter disbelief that this could have happened to them, destroyed their life, ruined their future & no immediate prospects for a cure….the dawning 3/

@BBCNews I’m sorry BBC but this reporting slant from the Covid Inquiry is completely disingenuous. If you’ve been watching it is very clear that the real scandal is IPC Guidance, which set the level of protection for health care workers (with knock on effects for patients & families) 1/
@BBCNews 2/was based on NO good scientific evidence and multiple experts raised alarms in 2020 that SARS2 was airborne and HCW were being left unprotected. The IPC dismissed these experts (who were correct), proceeded with fallacious guidance and thousands of health care workers died 2/
@BBCNews 2/or well disabled as a result. It has been made clear that those who wrote this guidance knew early on in 2020 it was incorrect yet allowed the guidance to stand and it still forms our IPC guidelines now - and people are still dying and being disabled. It is very clear to many

A - 'At the time and I would say even still we don't understand enough about #LongCovid to be able to give the right messaging'

JFC - if you don’t understand Long Covid then WHY DIDNT YOU ASK THOSE OF US THAT DO??? We’ve been trying to tell you for OVER TWO YEARS!! 1/
2/ I gave a presentation summary of all the research (with Sammie McF) of what long covid was and is to the Deputy Director of DoH in June 2022 - we have >400,000 research publications! We explained all of it. We also very clearly warned if you remove all PH restrictions without
3/first putting in public health protections (like ventilation & air filtration plus others) to reduce the reinfections rates that by 2023 hundreds of thousands more UK citizens were going to become disabled. We sent DoH the research studies. We copied Maria Caulfield &
