There have been numerous posts on social media from parents aghast at the revolving door of school and nursery acquired illness. Sometimes there’ll be a parent posting who has children with a wide age gap saying it’s worse now. 🧵

Just taken these pics. You could see the Aurora with the naked eye. It was amazing.

You would not believe how many times I have started writing this thread and deleted it: 🚨Do Covid infections make you vulnerable to other infections, and if so - how, and for how long, and is it getting worse.

@ZackPolanski @TheGreenParty …and Bristol is an open goal, just waiting for @TheGreenParty leadership to give it the green light… 🚦

With the big news about air filters in London schools today, I just want to take a moment to reflect all of the ground work that went on. DIY air filters helped open the door and establish key relationships. @mishwoz of Clean Air Classroom was a really key part of this.

You should be congratulated by everyone for this @SadiqKhan 👏 👏 This will improve children’s health for generations to come. The revolution starts now. @ZackPolanski @carla_denyer @natalieben

I hope other Mayors & Councils follow this lead from London. Also, I hope they note that this is not being done as a trial; it's being done out of necessity. It is not just necessary in London - it is essential in every location. Support Clean Air for Kids. Let's make it happen.

@UKHSA Yes, getting vaccinated when pregnant does help protect both the mother and baby from illnesses… …so why on earth are pregnant women no longer eligible for the COVID vaccine in the UK? The article and thread 🧵 below are well worth a read ⬇️ https://t.co/QTtP2qGoZN

Good gracious These hearings are hard to watch They missed the boat Have been wrong all along Still haven't caught up And are unlikely to ever take on a meaningful protective role Why are these ppl still in charge?

“Most of the people I’ve seen with #MECFS are so much sicker than my cancer patients.” Dr. Fridbjörn Sigurdsson, a former medical oncologist now focused on ME/CFS, speaking at the 2025 @Invest_in_me conference. Thanks to @mecfsskeptic for finding the clip.

Teachers. Are you fed up with being off work sick? The Mayor of London has started installing air cleaning devices in schools that will help. @SkyNews reported that supply teachers cost £1.4bn last year, yet it will only cost (continued in next tweet…) https://t.co/kXmJ1FiuUr

For those back home, young lad here looking for a few hours work and not appreciated by @waitrose he deserves miles better. Anyone got anything for him?

@DrVoles Here’s your answer @_CatintheHat has done fantastic work on critiquing the methodology. Ask your CEO why he/she’s not protecting you at work??

Ok Lets talk Covid vaccine. I am a Type 1 diabetic (37 or so yrs and counting) I'm also a front line healthcare professional. Is it not a bit weird that we don't get a covid jab this year? Someone might want to consider an FOI request to determine how thos decision was made..

“I’m battling with the school because they don’t believe anything is wrong with Dakota. They don’t believe he has long Covid. They don’t believe long Covid exists.” https://t.co/q0QjHOgBLS

Boris Johnson has been called to give evidence at the @covidinquiryuk on Tuesday. Sadly, we have been shut out of this module, excluded as core participants. The families we represent, including parents who lost children, will have no chance to put questions to the former PM.

I keep coming back to this post because I still can’t believe the inaction on this.

I've read quite a few posts on social media recently, about the levels of challenge which schools, leaders and teachers are facing. Headteachers have my absolute respect and empathy. The challenges are unprecedented. The pressure is absurd. I'd like to try to join a few dots...

It’s a slow-moving spiral: first their health, then their grades, then their future. Those for whom Covid looms very present are feeling forgotten, subject to pervasive skepticism and a kind of cultural fatigue when it comes to their illness. 🔗 https://t.co/q0QjHOh9Bq
