We warned. We have been warning in private meetings, public briefings, in PP presentations, backed by science since early 2022 that if Government’s don’t employ PH measures to prevent reinfections global ill -health will continue to rise with massive economic consequences….
I have never in my life seen such (willful?) mass denial on a national and global scale. If Governments would like help understanding the cause and solutions to rising ill health from seemingly non-communicable diseases during an ongoing Global Pandemic with a communicable 3/

@StarRadcliffe Have posted online instructing parents to send sick children to school to win prizes & boost attendance in the middle of a Covid/flu/RSV wave.Hundreds of replies respectfully pointing out disability discrimination, failure of IPC & breaches of H&SAW legislation 1/
2/So instead of @StarRadcliffe recognising this discriminatory policy is both wrong & will lead to increased infectious disease spread & may potentially lead to the LT harm of medically vulnerable children not to mention breaches in DoC and HSAW, and reconsidering their stance
@StarRadcliffe 3/they first hid all the replies from concerned parents, health care workers and disability charities
1/Early Pandemic at a WHO/4SD briefing, I warned that if governments chose “let it rip” over simple public health measures, we’d face a tsunami of cardiovascular disease — including a wave of early-onset vascular dementia 1/
2/We were ignored. “Let it rip” became policy. FAFO: a new paper (2025) shows this surge is already happening — just five years in. What will 10 or 15 years look like?
3/ …and yet instead of sitting up and taking note of the now ~500,000 publications on Covid harms including the cumulatively risks of reifection and the fact the elusive “herd immunity” through infection has NOT been achieved….admitting we got it wrong and acting to put 3/
On 4SD/WHO briefings back in 2022 & 2023 w/Sir David Nabarro (RIP 😢), we warned of the potential long term cardiovascular risks to children’s (& adults) health from Sars2. We begged for clean air/mitigations.Nada.Now read ⬇️😔1/
2/…..when are we going to start taking this seriously??? When are we going to understand that “mild acute symptoms” DOES NOT EQUAL “mild infection”??
The acute symptoms from an HIV infection are mild or even asymptomatic- would we ever call HIV mild???
Why are we refusing 2/
3/to recognize that Sars2/Covid19 is NOT a cold because it’s causing a huge and growing burden of long term subclinical organ systems damage? Especially to the immune system, cardiovascular system and brain/neurological systems? That it’s reactivating latent viruses & may 3/
“Long Covid *may* have surpassed asthma as the most common chronic health condition in children” in 2025….lets let that sink in for a moment……we’ve had FIVE YEARS to put in public health measures to protect our kids like clean air in schools and we’ve STILL NOT DONE it…..1/
2/…..no - officials claiming “we couldn’t possibly have foreseen this” do NOT get a free pass…..because this was foreseen and entirely predictable….and we raised these concerns back in 2022……..2/
“Among infants/toddlers 14% were classed as having long Covid, & 15% of pre-schoolers diagnosed w/long Covid”
Year 6 of Covid Pandemic with another global wave of Covid & STILL NO CLEAN AIR or Covid protections in schools & nurseries. WTH r we doing to our kids? 😭

Everything we predicted publicly multiple times at WHO briefings, WHN podcasts, international talks about covid harming kids 4 YEARS AGO - is coming true.
And we were ignored. Repeatedly by those in PH. Infact the head of UKHSA publicly stated kids had more chance of getting
Hit by a bus than catching or coming to harm from Covid - based on ZERO long term data or evidence other than “bc I say so”
14% of BABIES - babies!!!!
We now have 6 YEARS & 500,000 research publications of Covid long term cumulatively harms from repeated reinfections ……
@UKHSA So no more severe than the previous variants that have caused ~ 28 MILLION deaths in the post acute period and disabled an estimated 400 MILLION- phew 😅…..that’s reassuring - so I’m guessing Public Health are going to continue to fail to protect Public heath & just sit back 1/
@UKHSA 2/and watch thousands more become disabled during this COVID wave? So no plans to offer the public helpful PH messaging then? Or warn them of the risks?
Ok I’ll do it for you…
Dear Public, Covid is not over, not seasonal and not a cold. Covid doubles you risk of heart attack…
@UKHSA 3/..and stroke for at least 3 yrs after infection. It doubles the risk of heart disease and diabetes in children. It damages & dysregulates both innate & adaptive immune systems. SARS2 can hide inside monocytes, macrophages and foam cells. It damages blood vessels and causes …
