Our close relative passed away. Their chemo had worked, their cancer stabilised but they died as a result of a contagious illness. Their oncology team told them to be careful but refused to demonstrate that in practice. Lack of hospital IPC gave our extended family “permission”…

The NHS have published a pandemic response document suggesting “it will not be possible to halt the spread of a new pandemic virus and it would be a waste of public health resources to attempt to do so”. I would like to draw their attention to exhibits A, B & C below ⬇️

If you think societal collapse is an exaggeration, I suggest you read the impact of #LongCovid calculated by an economist. He had to calculate it twice *so far*, as the numbers continue to grow. https://t.co/9mVBnrOY9i

“Flu is worse than Covid” narrative is 📈 as media pumps out more & more flu warnings, never once mentioning Covid, which has killed or disabled countless more in the last six years. Flu is horrendous. Covid is even more horrendous. Both are airborne.

"Tragedies such as the failures to protect Sara Sharif, Victoria Climbié and Peter Connelly usually come from a tangle of circumstances, unmet needs and wider system gaps, not a single mistake by one practitioner" SWs must be supported in case reviews...

The #Leonardi_Effect is just as advertised, @brownecfm Increasing the pool of immune dysregulated people allows all pathogens the opportunity to adapt and mutate We are beginning to see the collective costs of pursuing a political and economic course against a novel pathogen☠️

I continue to be amazed by the paucity of airborne infection prevention & control in #NHS hospitals & healthcare facilities. Is it any wonder there are so many inpatients w/ Flu atm? Why are staff so reluctant to wear a mask 😷? @NHSEngland @UKHSA @CMO_England @wesstreeting

Yes, we should be wearing masks. This flu is debilitating, dangerous and has already killed babies and kids amongst others. This Flu season is breaking records all over the world and comes on the back of Covid which damages the immune system - which the media is silent about.

The evidence that sars cov 2 harms the immune response is increasing. People said it did not do that

Schools are flying blind when it comes to effective IPC! Reducing singing is not going to stop a flu outbreak. 100% attendance targets which force sick kids into school cause outbreaks. It’s in the air they breathe! @CleanAir4KidsUK https://t.co/aRYJLcXgww

This devastating flu wave is the result of a “personal responsibility” approach to public health.

I had a cancer check in August. I never received any results. My GP said they didn't have results and I should call the test centre. The test centre doesn't give out results, and told me to phone outpatients. I phoned outpatients, and they passed me to the relative clinic, but

Thank you for this review @VirusesImmunity and @jannamoen! What are we going to do about the millions of people who are not recovering nor dying after an acute infection event? Will we continue to pretend they don't exist? #LongCovid #MECFS #LymeDisease #PANS etc, etc 🙄

If I was Education secretary I’d most definitely ignore the main cause of absence (sickness) and focus on parents taking kids on holiday or the classic “since the pandemic….” rhetoric which ignores the virus & states pupils/parents are breaking social contract @bphillipsonMP

UK SCHOOL ATTENDANCE The latest school attendance data was published today (data up to w/c 17 Nov). Below are the reasons for absence for primary schools ⬇️ If you were a headteacher looking to improve attendance, which ONE thing would you pick to focus on?

A growing number of parliamentarians and professional bodies are sharing their concerns with the Children's Bill (esp. Clauses 3&4) informed by constituents, practice, and parents determined to be heard... #CWSBill

..and are told they must maintain attendance of 95%+ & their parents are told “simple viruses” (her words) are unavoidable & may even be “good” as they “build immunity”. How long will these pandemic lies continue? How much untold suffering are we causing trying to be “normal”?

A 4yr old child in our CCHD charity has been hospitalised 4 times since Sept from school acquired illness. The mum was asking how she can “boost his immune system” as she will not consider removing him from school. These kids have had major open heart surgeries…

This is exactly what happens when a novel seasonal influenza strain meets a population with Covid-induced immune dysregulation; it's not 'like Covid again', it's the ongoing and continuous effects of Covid. https://t.co/Je1uPxf86r

Covid is not like other viruses. The public have not been told this. Many health professionals still do not know this. How will everyone find out? Maybe only when they/their loved ones are harmed!
