Government seems determined that we pretend we live in a world without Covid.
We won’t allow the health of vulnerable families to be sacrificed on the altar of politics. Support these families here 👇

Huge, real-world study shows the value of mask-wearing to combat COVID. Masks work - please share!

I still can’t get my head around the fact that a child, from a household where someone is positive *can still attend school*! On what scientific basis did the Education Sec make this decision? This is not only reckless, when cases are high & children are unvaxxed,, it’s unethical

Good news. But why the hell weren’t we doing these trials LAST YEAR? Other countries are getting on with making sure classrooms are adequately ventilated right now.

1 in 200 kids w/ covid hospitalised compares to 1 in 25,000 for vax.
You'd expect 160 hospitalisations from 32,000 cases in kids.
If we vaxxed our 4m 12-17 yr olds you'd expect 160 (mild) hospitalisations from vax.
Since 19 April, there have been 326,000 cases in 10-19 yr olds.
11/ In conclusion, the Delta variant is more transmissible than other variants & cases have ⬆️ rapidly, even in kids. Around 1 in 200 kids exposed to #SARSCoV2 will be hospitalised but, if anything, it looks like delta variant might have lower hospitalization rates in kids

Come on UK gov. Our kids won't be vaccinated when they start school. They at least deserve some effort to provide them with air that is safe to breathe. You've removed all other mitigations @GavinWilliamson
Jacquie Vallis retweeted
The UK should be at the forefront of Scientific mitigations.
What do you say @BorisJohnson ?
Time to fund #MVHR in all schools and public places.
Jacquie Vallis retweeted
Couldn't agree more. Schools could be so much safer this September than last:
If we had vaccinated the kids.
If we had kept (and upgraded) masks.
If we had reduced class sizes.
If we had invested in clean air.

We're proud of the lifesaving work our volunteers do in the Channel – we make no apology for it. Those we rescue are vulnerable people in danger & distress. Each of them is someone’s father, mother, son or daughter - every life is precious. This is why we launch:

I’d love to know if the dept for education is spending the summer meeting with unions and heads and working out how to reduce the risk of covid in schools. Or are they just going to put out another multi-million £ campaign to push the lie, “schools are safe”, like last year?

NEW—Over 1.5 million children lost a parent, custodial grandparent, or other relative who cared for them during the first 14 months of the #COVID19 #pandemic, first global study estimates.

Authors call for urgent inclusion of psychosocial and economic support in #COVID19 response plans—children who have lost a parent or caregiver are at risk of profound adverse effects on their health, safety, and wellbeing.
ALT Together, we must advance equitable vaccine delivery, avoid child institutionalisation, and support families to care for children with deceased parents or caregivers.

Worth reading the SAGE consensus statement on the 30th June released recently. The govt has been warned by SAGE >1000 scientists/HCWs, the BMA chair, The Medical Royal Colleges, officials in the WHO, the Royal College of Nursing, educational unions.
Who is it listening to?

"Parents are being given only 2 choices: having their children educated or accepting them getting infected. Both are bad choices, and false ones.

How can there be no available money to fund safer ventilation in schools when @MattHancock can hand over £37 BILLION to his mates for a flawed test and trace system???
Why aren’t people screaming about this???
