Good idea. Also note that SARS2 escalates / exacerbates dementias. Taking steps to avoid exposere to viral load of SARS2, and taking annual / six monthly covid jabs reduces risks encountered in the 2020s and beyond.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive GLOBAL study revealed COVID-19 vaccines utilizing mRNA technology PREVENTED OVER 2.5 MILLION deaths WORLDWIDE between 2020 and 2024.
It reveals that vaccinations didnβt JUST protect against illness.
They PRESERVED nearly 15 MILLION years of human life.

@ukhsa.bsky.social , @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social kindly add covid vaccines to this list of insufficient vaccination status. Children are hit hard by SARS2. It is almost as contagious as measles, with ongoing sequelae that weaken a whole unvaccinated generation. Those under 10 years old now.

This is the consequence of treating antivax conspiracy theorists as though they were experts
Mainstream right wing outlets in the UK have done a lot to validate these cranks and have been attacking efforts to tackle disinformation

@ukhsa.bsky.social , owt to say about this, then? It's all backed by ONS data. SARS2 Covid is a safety at work matter. It is a major public health matter.
Cleaned air, correct PPE, vaccinations protect and prevent this preventable disease. Why force illness on us and people that look after us?

The PCR positivity map is out.
National positivity has rebounded very suddenly to the highest level it's been all year.
It looks like most areas are seeing the yoyo effect this week.

Manchester's the 2nd outlier on 25%, but on poor testing.
If high levels of natural immunity were actually a thing, @ukhsa.bsky.social, this part of the north should have superimmunity.
But Sheffield, Leeds, Bradford, Doncaster, Bolton are all bouncing up yet again.
