Yet Reform are never off the #BBC
I thought they were supposed to be impartial.

BBC is supposed to be an impartial public service broadcaster BTW.

Labour, Lib Dem, Reform, Conservatives: all got an interview

But if you had joined a far right minority party, you’d be on every BBC political programme going. Sad times.

Thank you for your advice. I am not eligible even though immunosuppressed, so this time rang around hunting for a private vaccine but have only been able to get the KP.2. Still glad I managed to get that and hoping to find somewhere later on for the LP.8. The situation isn’t good and paid £95.

Folks have been asking me which of the currently available UK #COVID vaccines are best, given that an older flavour, "KP2" is being given free on the NHS to the twelve or so people that remain eligible (😜🙄), whilst the newer "LP8.1" is available privately...

I'll do my best...

Absolutely, it’s a huge tragedy. It feels like an unstoppable train wreck at this point but I am taking comfort from history that shows us we go through these cycles and I do think positive change will come.

Yes it’s painful to keep meeting folks and feeling utterly helpless in so many ways.

Regular Covid vaccinations needed to reduce cardiac risks Regular Covid vaccinations are needed to reduce associated cardiac risks, experts at the European Cardiology Society have concluded.

There are many risks and developing heart problems is just one of these sadly. #Vascular www.pulsetoday.co.uk/news/clinica...

Wear an ffp2/3 and stop the spread. The government is in the wrong.

We should not follow guidance that causes harm to others. We have an ethical duty to protect those around us from disability. That’s the way I have seen this and nothing will change my mind.

No we shouldn’t forget anyone but I know what you are trying to say. I am only too worried myself about the damage that’s happening to many children it’s really disgusting that no action is being taken.

Schools are also full of people who are vulnerable or have high risk relatives and transmission costs lives. If you have to go to work please wear an ffp3 and open windows to protect those around you.

Should we follow rules that cause children harm? No we should not.

This is no cold and hundreds of millions are estimated to have long covid globally. If you currently have covid and can take time to rest it’s vital to do so. Rather get fined for not sending your child into school than they get long covid.

So many around me currently have #COVID in many cases the acute part has not been ‘mild’ this time. I see folks posting about recovering but that’s just it. We need to realise these risks last long after the initial part has ended, until that messaging changes, people will keep suffering long term 🧵

Sorry to be so blunt but the messaging just isn’t there from those who should be saying something. Instead we are getting ‘it’s no worse than the last strain’. When in fact that caused organ damage in a lot of folks.

disability and premature death. It should be a question of think I don’t want to risk anyone else getting this virus. We should be treating it with the respect it deserves and thinking Post infection risk of cardiovascular disease or lung conditions or autoimmune.

If Trump doesn’t drag the whole world into WW3 I will be very surprised. These are incredibly dark times.

and families have been treated who chose to protect those who shielded or suffer long Covid. As if it hasn’t been bad enough to push against a tide to protect our children from real harm, we have had to put up with nasty comments also.

The media should carry some of blame for their incorrect messaging on clinically vulnerable being overly anxious over totally real risks and they haven’t improved because some politicians keep reiterating the same thing. Even though children have died and been disabled. It’s disgraceful how parents

The children who were at highest risk should have had the most support but that’s not what happened to so many families.

Terrible to see that children have been bullied for trying to keep their relatives safe.

Thank you Seren, so many children experienced similar things. Thank you for your amazing advocacy.
