Agreed! Clean air is something I've long campaigned on.

This Clinically Vulnerable Families member, and teacher, was asked to work in a room without windows or ventilation.

Sadly, this *important* aspect was missing from her impact video.

Mental health is given as the reason, but it was caused by unaddressed physical health risks.

I wonder how this will be reported in the UK media. How much 'both sides' we will wake up to in the Today programme or on GB News.

It turns out that just one BIG share can change *everything* for a petition.

Please help protect vaccine access for Clinically Vulnerable people by tagging people who could amplify.

So, we ask that Lakeside urgently reconsiders this harmful policy. Let people protect their health without being turned away.

Public spaces must be safe and accessible for all!

⚠️LAKESIDE: Please DO NOT discriminated against Clinically Vulnerable families, who are trying to shop safely during a wave of "super flu".⚠️

Would you ban customers in wheelchairs or with hearing aids?

The influence of Lisa Ritchie on national infection control continues to risk Clinically Vulnerable lives.

@teamlabouruk.bsky.social she MUST go!

⚠️Despite *significant* and long-term financial impacts, Clinically Vulnerable people are not represented at the UK Covid Inquiry.

Questions are seriously lacking without our input.

The exclusion of people with MND from automatic eligibility for a Covid booster is not only medically indefensible, it is economically disproportionate.

For some, the first 48 hrs of 'flu are critical.

Call your GP or 111 for treatment if you receive an NHS 'flu vaccine based on risk, even if you have only been exposed.

🇦🇺 Australia is looking into future-proofing their air. 💨

Why aren't others?

Here is my blog on the recent Covid Inquiry hearings - module 8 Children & Young People. It highlights how clinically vulnerable children/households are ignored, indeed punished for needing to stay safe. Change is needed: improved safety; support and status. livingonplagueisland.blog/2025/11/03/t...

⚠️ Spot the UK on the @who.int map of hospitalisations and ICU admissions due to Covid.

...Then, explain whether the UK's vaccination strategy is working?

Clinically Vulnerable people are at risk!

CTI "Is there anything you think we can learn from your experience[...]?"

IM "We also need to plan for a pandemic that also high-risks to children, and of course children didn't come out unscathed from this."

"In conclusion, there are no easy answers to the issues identified in this module... but if you focus on SAFETY, SUPPORT, and STATUS, that would go a long way to protecting Clinically Vulnerable families, now, and in the future."

🚨Gavin Williamson former Education Secretary

Sadly, there were no inquiry questions of CVF's children but we had 8 mins of questioning. However, Gavin did raise them - without prompting.

Do watch the highlights!

Exactly. Cathy and many people I know from the CV community are completely well informed, well balanced rational people who navigate the appalling situation facing those who need to avoid catching COVID with aplomb. I am proud to know them

Over 12 million people previously eligible will be denied a COVID booster this Autumn. This is cruel, dangerous and creates a two tier health system benefiting clinically vulnerable people and their households who can pay for a private jab livingonplagueisland.blog/2025/06/30/a...

CVF has been collaborating with the Electoral Commission and has requested clarification on this point. However, because the legislation isn’t published, they can’t comment yet.

Inclusion in education:

For Clinically Vulnerable children and those in CV families, attending school shouldn’t mean risking their health.

💨 Clean air
😷 Respect for masks

Children are among those most frequently challenged for mask wearing.

Health and safety should be inclusive rights, not a privilege.
