100% This ⬇️. What Gov Policy is doing to our children and their parents is unacceptable, unethical and unforgivable.

Our children cannot advocate for themselves. If those with a legal Duty of Care to protect our children’s health are failing to enact that Duty of Care, as…1/ Parents we all have two choices…we can sit back and do nothing and watch our kids become progressively sicker more frequently with some ending up disabled with an illness that currently as no known cure, or we can unit collectively and demand change - & hold those responsible 2/

@GillianKeegan You have spearheaded a Poster Campaign to pressure sick infectious children with COVID to go to school whilst still infectious. To boost your attendance figures without addressing the cause of the low attendance which is childhood sickness. You have made ZERO 1/ Effort to improve ventilation or clean the air in schools and you have encouraged the further spread of a highly infectious airborne disease in our kids schools that may feel “mild” initially but causes significant & potentially life long chronic illness. 2/

@VictoriaAtkins @DailyMailUK Your Gov downgraded our PPE to the point we were given NO respiratory protective equipment, useless dinner lady pinnys and were bean counting single gloves as individual items of PPE not to be wasted.

Has COVID set us up for a major heart disease epidemic? It’s happened before - Post 1918 as’ Flu epidemic. I’ve been raising these concerns for several years now re:SARS2.

Dear Mr Sunak @RishiSunak. I agree there are far too many people sick in the U.K. & we need to reduce the sickness burden - trying to force those too ill to work won’t do that however, but I look forward to you finally addressing the route cause? Repeated SARS2 infections 1/ Cumulatively increase the risk of people developing or accelerating a myriad of chronic health diseases including heart attack, stroke, dementia, POTs, other CVS/neuro disease, diabetes, autoimmune disease, long covid in addition to renal damage, brain damage, blood vessel 2/

@JeremyVineOn5 @ayeshahazarika @linmeitalks @StormHuntley Yes there is a huge problem….1) we are not “post pandemic” as Covid hasn’t gone anywhere & WHO havent declared the Pandemic over and 2) we are now reaping what we sowed when our leaders decided to allow a BSL2/3 airborne pathogen that WHO has estimated may disable 1 in 10 to 1/ @JeremyVineOn5 @ayeshahazarika @linmeitalks @StormHuntley 2/circulate freely without mitigations, to infect & reinfect & reinfect, despite us having 404,000 research publications on this SARS2 virus demonstrating the chronic damage it can cause to health (cardiovascular disease, neurological disease, immune dysfunction, endocrine,LC) 2/

“Even though the vulnerable will fall by the wayside” I felt sick the first time I heard that phrase and rewatching this still evokes the same emotions. We are not even trying to protect people. We could be. The callous disregard for life, all life, as if those with underlying 1/ 2/health conditions are somehow acceptable collateral damage in the desperate need to return to the “fallacy” of normal for Capitalist economies. This attitude fails to acknowledge:
1) medically vulnerable did NOT consent to becoming sacrificial lambs in countries refusing to

@dr_ianjackson @1goodtern To be fair Ian I take your point. However I do think there are several questions that need to be asked after a young person dies shortly after Covid: 1) death unlikely to be respiratory and more likely to be cardiac given the history so why the comment about it being unrelated @dr_ianjackson @1goodtern to Covid “because the lungs weren’t damaged” when Covid also damages heart and blood vessels? Do PM’s now culture for SARS2 inside Cardiomyocytes and endothelial cells? Do they employ ThT staining for fibrinaloids? Do they look for macrophage infiltrates? Have they changed their

This! @GillianKeegan @bphillipsonMP It is NOT OK to breech H&SWA & encourage pupils & teachers to repeatedly be reinfected w/a BSL3 pathogen that will overtly disable some, & may cause convert damage to brain, blood vessels & immune systems in others - these are our CHILDREN! 2/..if you care about our children’s education as you say you do, please protect their health! Sick children can’t learn! Children disabled with long covid - many are too sick to access school. CEV children are too high risk to access school if u keep encouraging schools to be a

@doctor_oxford @littlewondering @theipaper @ITV @JoFroggatt @jed_mercurio @HTMTelevision @AitkenAlexander @LittleBrownUK I worked on an acute Covid ward. We were even denied RPE on the acute Covid wards! The FRSMs masks delivered (which are not RPE)were years out of date - &someone centrally had clearly been paid to meticulously &deliberately cover over the expired expiry dates..which we only found @doctor_oxford @littlewondering @theipaper @ITV @JoFroggatt @jed_mercurio @HTMTelevision @AitkenAlexander @LittleBrownUK 2/out after many ward staff started getting sick…PPE was rationed centrally, we ran out of clinell wipes, we didn’t have enough face visors or cleaning equipment, no long sleeved gowns. I remember sitting on the phone calling round builders begging for PPE, school DT departments

@SmartairUk I couldn’t agree more.

@UKHSA - could you please explain your evidence behind this Guidance given that scientific research 1) confirming it take 10days for 90% kids w/Sars2 to stop being contagious 2) kids also get LC 3) new research showing SARS2 is increasing Cardiovascular risk in children? Image 2/2…in fact would you please consider taking a meeting with several of us that are involved in the LC research and have expertise in Long Covid? We’d very much appreciate the opportunity of sharing our evidenced based concerns with you please? Thank you for considering

@TomPMarshall @CovidSolidarit1 Umm you know Sars2 causes cardiovascular disease right? And triggers neurological disease? And diabetes? And immune dysfunction? And 38% of Canadians with 3+ infections have LC? And JN1 exhibits immune escape right? There are thousands of publications & millions impacted….1/2 @CovidSolidarit1 2/..and you know that vaccination, although reducing risk of death from acute infection doesn’t prevent Long Covid right? Only reduces the risk by 15-30% but you know omicron subvariants are highly infectious so it’s possible to get reinfected now within 30 days? And you know..2/

@UKHSA can u please explain the science behind ur guidelines that kids w/Covid were “less infectious” than adults &could return to school 3d after + test, then could go to school w/Covid if “mild” symptoms given this study shows it takes 10d for 90% kids to be non-infectious? 1/ Image 2/…..and this study that shows kids have A 78% increased risk of developing a new onset health condition after they’ve been infected with Sars2.

Microstructural & Gray matter changes in the brains not only of Long Covid patients, but also those previously infected by Covid with no ongoing symptoms eurekalert.org/news-releases/… “Here, we noted gray matter alterations in both patients w/long-COVID & those unimpaired after a COVID-19 infection. Interestingly, we not only noted widespread microstructural alterations in patients w/long COVID, but also in those unimpaired after having contracted COVID-19.”

1/This is so incredibly upsetting. Covid is not over. We are risking the long term health of absolutely every child & adult in U.K. by allowing them to get repeatedly reinfected. I see the consequences of these decisions every single week in clinic. Each patient - the same… 2/utterly heartbreaking story - lives smashed beyond recognition by this virus - old, young, male, female, former athletes - those who thought because they were “fit & healthy” they would be ok, those who believed the “it’s just a cold” who thought they’d be ok - they r not ok..

“Covid is not just a respiratory virus” “it infects coronary artery plaques” "I can't think of another virus that stimulates the sequence of events in coronary artery inflammation like we're seeing here." “Drs/pts need to be aware if CVS risk after Sars2” medscape.com/viewarticle/99… 2/ A recent study showed 5% ⬆️ CVS Death 2020-2022” “Those peaks of ❤️deaths corresponded with specific waves of COVID ― So, there's no question that this virus is contributing to excess ❤️mortality” 5%⬆️ across whole world = A LOT OF DEATHS (not currently being attr to Sars2)
