This stated assumption contradicts the findings of the Health Select Committee Report, all the reports of the Public Inquiry and jeopardizes all our lives if another coronavirus pandemic arrives. Our chief medical officer should be removed.

That was the reason why we had FIVE times the death rate of East Asian states, prolonged national lockdowns and care homes devastated. They suppressed their epidemics and stopped the spread within 4-6 weeks using strong public health measures of find, test, trace, isolate and support. bmj.com/content/389/bmj-2024…

I cannot believe this. The 2024 NHS pandemic plan states the following generic assumptions:
“it will not be possible to halt the spread of a new pandemic virus, and it would be a waste of public health resources and capacity to attempt to do so.”

In 1959, Eugene Ionesco wrote the absurdist play Rhinoceros in which one by one, an entire town of people suddenly transform into rhinos. At first, people are horrified but as the contagion spreads, (almost) everyone comes to accept that turning into a rhinoceros is fine. 1/

STEP 1️⃣: Don't vaccinate millions of Clinically Vulnerable people 🚫💉
STEP 2️⃣: Act confused when the next big Covid wave sends them to hospital 🌊🏥
Is Covid why everyone's getting sick? Cases of virus have doubled in a month and hospitalisations up five-fold - amid spread of new XFG variant trib.al/up9zqR8

My question is whether @UKHSA have considered another possible contributing factor put forward by other scientists:
👉🏻 Could COVID infections have caused persistent changes in immune function, potentially making it easier for MenB to establish carriage or cause invasive disease?
A growing number of scientists have been sounding the alarm recently about how repeated Covid infections may be damaging our immune systems…

With MILLIONS of vaccines stockpiled, why can’t we have sensible vaccination policies like France 🇫🇷
They too recommend the ‘at risk’ groups who should get vaccinated…
…but ANYONE who wants a COVID booster can still get one annually, free of charge.

🚨NHS COVID DATA
The NHS are proposing to STOP publishing monthly Covid hospital data.
They propose to ONLY publish it with the hospital flu data in Winter (Dec-Mar).
But, unlike flu, Covid is not only a winter virus.

In this conversation, “somewhere quiet” means somewhere with cleaner air, so that it is accessible to someone without a functioning immune system.
Healthcare settings, and all public buildings, should have clean air.

Dear @UKHSA,
Just over a year ago, you told us you were launching a £1.3 MILLION wastewater monitoring programme to detect a wide range of dangerous pathogens…
…but (as far as I can tell), we’ve not heard a peep about it since.
Any chance of a little update, perhaps?
We've announced a £1.3m programme to evaluate how wastewater monitoring could help detect a wide range of dangerous pathogens including mpox, West Nile virus and Lassa fever.
This work builds upon the UK's existing monitoring for polio 🔬

❓Between 2023-25, guess how many Covid vaccine doses were left unused in warehouses until they expired?
👉🏻 63 MILLION
❓Guess much that equates to in £’s lost?
👉🏻 £1.6 BILLION
The govt has hugely restricted access to Covid vaccines since 2023 & then just quietly binned them!
