Bible passage from Luke quoting the words of Jesus, making it clear that there is no hiding from misdeeds: we will all have to answer for our sin, even that conducted ‘in secret’ Amazingly, Jesus’ mercy and love know no limits, so all can be forgiven, no matter how bad they think they’ve been! May The Lord have mercy on all scientists who acted in sin during the pandemic, through denying reality in order to conceal a lack of pandemic planning, or failing to speak up against scientific untruth

Yesterday marked the 1st day of UK COVID19 Inquiry Module 5

So what?

Well, we now have access to opening statements from core participants, like this, from saints at @bma.org.uk

Thanks to such CPs, ‘everything that is secret will be made known’

One thing I didn’t expect in the wake of the CEO shooting is the sudden attention on health insurance policy. I have seen this video and the BCBS policy itself go viral on almost every platform. People are waking up. Real lasting change in healthcare is coming. youtube.com/shorts/vWA2a...

Tell me again about how nurseries and schools don't drive infections in local communities.

Oh, & this also provides indirect proof of UK BBC editorial team likely doing the bidding of the CMO et al & keeping this information from us

This is awesome: turning dreams of cleaner indoor air in schools into a reality

Bravo 👏

Imagine academic physicians repeatedly signing off guidance denying nurses access to FFP3 for covid19-facing patient care doing 10 Downing Street pressers every day

Members of CATA pictured against the sunlit hearts of the national covid memorial wall Every heart represents a life lost, thanks to plans devised by hubristic scientists blind to the life saving policy actions of overseas experts, and intent on gaslighting the population into believing their lies & empirical truth suppression SARS2 was always was known to be airborne, asymptomatic transmission (& proof of early peak viral titres) was identified in Jan 2020, & better ventilation masks for source control were mechanistically bound to help reduce transmission But thanks to the efforts of CATA and others, we see you - we know you for what you are You had one chance and you lied: how’s that working for you?

Excellent - we need 6 more IPC people who accept airborne transmission to make a starter pack list - any more on here?

Dear team I would just like to echo all the positive comments of others On behalf of all voiceless, powerless HCWs - THANK YOU You have done an amazing job - I am so proud of you and the cause we’ve been working on There can be no doubt that we have had a huge impact And even if we don’t see as many of the safety changes we’d like in the NHS, I reckon it will be impossible to gaslight a future generation of workers that respiratory viruses are anything other than routinely airborne transmitted Many many thanks and much love to all David

this screenshot says: "Every year in England and Wales, a cynic1 might describe a process like this: Around spring, the incumbent government / devolved government promises that they are working hard to fix NHS capacity before next winter. In summer, the relevant NHS bodies warn that nothing meaningful is happening on the ground and/or everything’s much worse, and they are in no way ready for the winter. Through October and November we watch nervously as ripples of seasonal respiratory infections (e.g., RSV, flu and now COVID) grow into waves. The NHS know what’s coming and try vaccinate as many of the old, young and vulnerable as possible. As winter progresses, wards fill up with patients, so A&E is unable to admit patients to the hospital, so A&E fills up, so ambulances are unable to transfer patients safely to A&E, and queue at the front door, and are unable to respond to new calls. Patients suffering from heart attacks and strokes wait hours for help, and incur enormous harms - enough to show up in excess death indicators. In late December or early January, the waves of RSV, flu and COVID peak. If they all are high and peak at the same time, you get the winter of 2022 - average response time to stroke/heart attack symptoms of 1 hour 32 minutes. If, by luck, the peaks of infection are lower, or offset, you get the winter of 2023 - average response time 45 minutes. The target response time is 18 minutes. The waves recede in January and February, the NHS cares for the survivors and we bury the dead. Go to 1. "

It is however nuts that for literally the most predictable NHS crisis we still rely on the luck of the disease draw (and the weather) every winter.

Magnificent closing statement from Brian Stanton KC today at UK COVID19 Public Inquiry, on behalf of the BMA

Thank you for speaking truth to power, for valuing HCW & patient safety, & for countering the lies & doublespeak of all NHSE & DHSC-linked witnesses

NHS physician associates and doctors locked in 'toxic' staffing row A toxic row has engulfed the NHS, say ministers. So why have doctors turned on physician associates?

This piece by BBC health correspondent Nick Triggle on the replacement of NHS doctors with PAs is disappointingly misleading through omission of key context & reliance on those busy, yet always conveniently anonymous, 'NHS senior sources'. 1/n

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

What if your ‘physician’ wasn’t actually a doctor at all? Beware this new reckless experiment | Rachel Clarke The NHS says it’s not trying to replace qualified doctors with physician associates. But we can see the terrifying truth, says the palliative care doctor Rachel Clarke

Here's my recent piece on PAs.

Please read to understand the gravity of the issues involved.

I am speaking out for one reason only - because patients & the quality of their care matter to me more than anything.

[And by all means quote me, Nick.]

The NHS has a long & shoddy history of bullying, smearing & discrediting grassroots voices when they try to speak out about matters of patient safety.

They're doing it now, using obliging journalists as their mouthpiece.

It's infuriating on every level. 6/n

🚨Matt Hancock explained "It was not clinically safe to have cancer treatment during the pandemic"

Cancer patients are severely immunosuppressed whilst undergoing treatment. Their immune defenses are low.

We ask what is different for this group today?

By request, here is a longer explanation of how the CardioSky feed works. I created the feed so I could have one place to see cardiology related activity on Bluesky beyond just the #CardioSky hashtag. Below are the details, some considerations, and some caveats.

Hallett: ‘Ms Freeman, a Q I suspect we’re going to put to various health ministers. If a system has had to close down cancer screening, a potentially fatal disease, if it’s had to cancel elective surgery where people can suffer in huge pain for years, why does that not mean the NHS is overwhelmed?’

Plot of covid outcomes by age for A&E attendance, hospital admission, severe hospital admission and death. Apart from death, rates were highest for babies under 6 months.

THREAD: we urgently need to talk about babies & Covid - AGAIN.

A new paper has dropped looking at acute Covid-19 outcomes from Sep 2023-Apr 2024 by age for all England.

Except for deaths, babies under 6 mths old have HIGHEST risk of A&E, admission & SEVERE hospital admission across ALL ages 1/10

Thread for those new to BlueSky. First of all, welcome. It feels like a safer space, doesn’t it? But also perhaps a bit disorienting initially? Here’s some tips for getting your bearings.
