Vascular and inflammatory diseases after COVID-19 infection and vaccination in children and young people in England: a retrospective, population-based cohort study using linked electronic health recor... Children and young people have higher risks of rare vascular and inflammatory diseases up to 12 months after a first COVID-19 diagnosis and higher risk of rare myocarditis or pericarditis up to 4 week...

“…the risk following vaccination is substantially lower than the risk following infection. These findings are of great importance for policy makers and caregivers… and support the public health strategy of COVID-19 vaccination in children”

As #WorldVentil8Day 2025 is only 3 days away here’s a little reminder of some ventilation tips I gave last year 👇

This sums up the absurdity of the whole anti-vax argument.
Yes, every medicine comes with some level of risk.
But that risk is lower than that of not using the medicine.
It comes down to a simple question: do you want you (or your children) to take the small risk or the much higher one?

And many who have #LongCOVID don’t‘qualify’ for vaccinations either, not offered to healthcare workers, children & young people- in my opinion- offer to everyone!

Adam Wagner asks questions for the CV/CEV families and receives entirely unsatisfactory answers from Whitty.

Whitty says they didn't see kids in late 2020 as CV any more, and that, somehow, kids could no longer pass covid onto their CV parents, at least not at "an epidemiological level" 🤔

I've decided to stop trusting experts.

Really looking forward to my forthcoming surgery being carried out by my mate Dave.
He's not an expert surgeon, but he is quite good with a chainsaw and has watched several series of House.

Who needs experts?

For folks that couldn't access the @bmj.com article last week...

The damage done - Nature Medicine When clinical trials are suddenly halted by US funding cuts, there are repercussions for investigators and patients, and they do not stop at borders.

148 clinical trials have been impacted, with 138k patients due to be enrolled or already enrolled.

Once research stops, some won't pick up where they left off. Even when terminated funding was reinstated, things do not go back to normal.

There is so much waste happening.

Everyone should read this from the German Health minister in 2023! Then ask why the British Public haven’t had this messaging?

Have just booked online … fairly straight forward but need to travel to nearest city as not offering at local branch 🙂

About to book … will let you know…

Only option here for most of us is booking a vaccination at Boots! Fingers crossed

Why watch something when you know it’s going to have a depressing ending? 😂 Enough horrors in the real world… never going to watch Titanic etc

Oh dang. This is an excellent analogy.

The most sensible solution! 🙏

Can’t explain it but of course they want to take away one of the only painkillers that’s safe for pregnancy, a condition that causes weird and unusual pains. these people WANT pregnancy to be a punishment and handicap. they want to control.

Johnson went with private industry over established experts.

Don't get me started on Harding!

The ITV exposé on COVID now turns its sights on testing. I was stunned in 2020 when Sir Paul Nurse - Director of the Francis Crick Institute - told me he’d written to the government to offer the services of the Crick (the biggest biomeolecular lab in the country) - and never got a reply…

Cats on the moon? Google's AI tool is producing misleading responses that have experts worried Google’s search engine used to spit out a ranked list of websites that might help you figure out an answer to your question.

A 🧵 addressing the argument: “AI is a tool, just like a calculator.”

Calculators don’t provide factually wrong answers, but AI tools have. Last year, Google’s AI search returned, among other falsehoods, that cats have gone to the moon, that Barack Obama is Muslim, and that glue goes on pizza.

I'd really recommend you start connecting with members of your local tribe by attending open events and listening to what the elders have to say.

Farage can't distance himself so easily from anti-vax conspiracy theorists Farage's involvement with Malhotra goes back several years, and others with the same views also participated in the conference

Interesting to see that Farage has a history with Malhotra dating several years and Malhotra also spoke at a fringe event as well as the main event at the Reform conference so Farage has more questions to answer about platforming a known anti-vaxer
