The new Prime Minister is writing a "10-year plan" for the UK. The arts and culture MUST be part of it. I've signed @_CFTA's petition urging @AndyBurnham to revitalise the arts – to revitalise the whole nation 🌱 Please join me: campaignforthearts.org/petit…

Sometimes the effects come days later.

Sometimes the effects come months later.
Sometimes they come years later.

Just because it starts with flu-like symptoms, it doesn't mean that's where it ends.
Polio
Legionella
Lyme Disease
HIV
TB
Leishmaniasis
Syphilis
Hepatitis
Smallpox
Histoplasmosis
Anthrax
Fricking Anthrax
They can all start with flu-like symptoms.

If the Covid pandemic is over, why is the 13th wave of Covid infections spreading in an uncontrolled fashion, impacting healthcare services globally now, you know, the very definition of a pandemic?
Jane Gray retweeted
Lab confirmed Flu A cases jumped nearly **70%** here this week.
Lab confirmed Covid cases have *quadrupled* in a month.
Mask up.
It's as simple as that.
Mask up.
FFP2/N95+, wherever you go in public.

Which young people are getting vaccinated over & over in the UK? None.
Which young people are being infected with Covid over & over? All of them.
I’ve just watched a whole BBC documentary about the rapid increase in cancer among the young..
It explored food & lifestyle choices, even body sprays & plastics.
Not once tho, did they explore whether getting young healthy people vaccinated over & over with a product that had no long term health data, may have played a role🤔

Thank god this virus doesn’t increase the risk of heart attack and stroke for months after you’ve had it … oh

Here in the UK, we're now in the eighth school year since the start of the pandemic.
We are also in the midst of the thirteenth wave of Covid-19.
Illness...
Harm...
Change...
Disruption...
It's never stopped.

To those following the science, it shouldn’t come as a surprise to hear that infections cause cancer.
Many studies have shown that Covid infections can reactivate dormant cancer cells and trigger the growth of secondary cancers.

Covid-19 infections can reactivate dormant cancer cells, & trigger the growth of secondary cancers. There is now compelling medical evidence to this effect.

We spent decades teaching people that cancer is mostly bad luck, bad genes, or bad habits.
Then you find out 2.3 million cases in a single year were attributable to infections.
Infections were responsible for 2.3 million new cancer cases in 2024, 12% of total global cases that year, a study has found.
The research found Helicobacter pylori to be the leading infectious cause of cancer

I am so deeply tired of the willful ignorance.
No one wanted to believe it. fortune.com/2021/05/05/diabe…
We should not wait decades to ask whether another preventable infection has long-term consequences.
Prevention matters.
Research matters.
And protecting people from infection matters.

A friend has Covid right now. They have lost their sense of smell and they're having cognitive problems.
This hit me today, as it often does: we made, and continue to make, a huge collective mistake in allowing a virus that impacts the brain to transmit unmitigated globally.

I am so grateful that my work taught me this over and over again. I talk about my Dad and say his name every day. My mum says she loves that
“..the recently dead are more or less erased and often not mentioned for fear of upsetting us. I can tell you now— mention away. Most of us want to hear their names and remember them with you. If we do get upset, well, we are mostly upset already.”

It's Year 7 of this, and we have hospitals saying - in September! - "sorry, we're full"
with all of the knock-on consequences of corridor 'care' and healthcare avoidance and unnecessary mortality
It's shit. @andyburnham, @YvetteCooperMP - this is completely avoidable

One such "on switch" is Covid-19, which can leave its stamp on the immune system in the form of new allergies'.

6/ that means from long Covid /SARS2 we have over a million new POTS cases in the UK alone!!! And millions more world wide.
SARS2 is a vasculotropic and neurotropic virus that is causing a massive global burden of chronic disease - estimated to cost the global economy 6/

I’m sorry Poppy but Dr Susanne O’Sullivan is talking nonsense about a medical specialty she has ZERO expertise in.
It is both outrageous, ableist and misogynistic to assume conditions like POTS (which affect women more than men) are psychosomatic.
