Ha! That’s a joke! If protecting people from Covid was really one of your highest priorities, you wouldn’t have: 📍dismantled all Covid surveillance 📍removed the mask mandate & routine testing in hospitals 📍encouraged children with mild Covid symptoms to come to school.

“𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙩𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝘾𝙤𝙫𝙞𝙙 𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙨 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙝𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙚𝙨!” …so we’ve massively reduced the eligibility criteria for the Covid vaccine. 👇🏻

What are the “range of surveillance” systems you mention? Hasn’t the UK closed almost all of them down?

As always, you will not be counting all those who will develop #longcovid and #longcovidkids. You also are not offering people with long covid the booster. Nor do they qualify for antivirals when they are reinfected. What a shambles. What happened to public health?

You're suggesting people exposing themselves to a BSL Class 3 pathogen (same as TB by the way) which causes immune dysfunction will 'boost' immunity? Tell me you don't understand the most basic features of this viral pathogen without telling me. Oh, you did! ~ microbiologist.

“𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙩𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝘾𝙤𝙫𝙞𝙙 𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙨 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙝𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙚𝙨!” …so let’s encourage children with symptoms of Covid to still come to school and spread it to all of their classmates and teachers. 👇🏻

What about children? The next generation. The young people that we all have a duty to protect. What access to protections will they have this year?

“𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙩𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝘾𝙤𝙫𝙞𝙙 𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙨 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙝𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙚𝙨!” …so we’ve systematically dismantled all Covid surveillance 👇🏻
