The “pornification” of flags

🧵What are the causes of increasing vax hesitancy?

UsForThem, a UK group which led a misleading campaign against covid vax for kids, says the covid vax roll out has damaged parents trust in all vaccines

But was it gov actions or the interpretation of it by such campaigners? 2/There was a coordinated campaign against child vax before data or decisions were even made

Their starting point is that there is no benefit of vax but considerable risk

The data doesn't support this

🧵UK Covid Inquiry combined with Fauci emails and a few other sources has pealed back the curtain to allow us to see some of the decision making process in UK and US

Many parallels in the evidence, the govs covered up aerosol transmission and the need of N95s to protect workers 2/ The evidence shows that when covid first appeared politicians delegated to their scientific advisors and didn't engage much

Herd immunity as a strategy was UK policy due to a number of assumptions, like covid being unstoppable, there was also a fear of public panic

A look at the BMJ inquiry paper on Disinformation

We examine the paper, provide evidence to back the paper and address criticism

The paper examines policies but doesn't recommend policy, it provides questions it thinks the inquiry should seek to answer

…terdisinformationproject.substack.com/p/bmj-covid-in… 2/ Its interesting that the main

🧵Is it a coincidence that the UK paediatricians promoting the concept of immunity debt also opposed masks and questioned vax?

They were also a key source of the claim children don't play a significant role in transmission

"No evidence of a child infecting an adult" ImageImage 2/ Russell Viner's April 2020 systematic review was the main source cited around the world as evidence children didn't play a role in transmission

This was promoted by the site Don't Forget the Bubbles
Viner became a UK gov adviser on children ImageImage
