Labour’s message is clear: they are there to protect the lifestyles of billionaires.

Keir Starmer and Sadiq Khan protect the wealth of the 1%, whilst they watch everyone else struggle from their private jets.

Wealth tax. Now.

if trying to legislate trans people out of existence is what you call nonsense then you're beyond help

We stand with the trans community. Today’s ruling isn’t just a technicality it’s a setback for equality, legal consistency, and human dignity. Legal recognition must mean something. Equality isn’t selective. The fight continues. 6/7

We’ll be talking about my trans daughter Alice and my memoir #HerNameisAlice about her life and death, the impact of transphobia and the decimation of trans healthcare at the hands of successive governments.

Sounds like a cover up to me.

In the same way Streeting won’t acknowledge my daughter’s death, wasn’t counted in Appleby’s hatchet job DHSC report, minimising ⬆️ suicide since the Bell high court ruling (which was eventually overturned) began the slide toward the total removal of trans healthcare.

please sign the petition! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

(via CleanAir, proper PublicHealth education/advice & a broadly available & free vaccination programme) has no business complaining about rising numbers of sick people & the welfare costs to support them 🤷

A government (i.e. the UK's Labour govt) hellbent on denying the primary mode of transmission (i.e. airborne) of a deadly novel virus (i.e. SARS2) & failing to protect the public Shame on them for blaming the sick & disabled

does anyone have any good news for humanity? asking for a friend..

Don’t underestimate the impact you’re making when you choose to wear a mask.

You’re protecting your health & the health of your community. You’re helping ease the burden on our healthcare system.

You’re standing in solidarity with disabled people & telling the government that no one is expendable

David Lynch Reveals Emphysema Diagnosis, Can’t ‘Leave the House’ or Direct in Person: ‘I Would Do It Remotely if It Comes to It’ David Lynch revealed he has been diagnosed with emphysema and can no longer direct in person or leave the house.

David Lynch’s death is a heartbreaking loss, but I think it’s important to remember he spent his last years unable to leave the house, because no one else took Covid precautions, and put him at terrible risk. Who are you harming with your refusal to care about others? variety.com/2024/film/ne...

This is why it really grinds my gears when Covid cautious people frame their avoidance as being because they're disabled or "at risk."

For fuck's sakes, 100% of people are "at risk."

You're not encouraging people to care about disabled people. You're encouraging this. 👇

My Long Covid Story I’m 62 years old and a woman. After living sixteen months now with Long Covid, I have decided to add my story to my website in the hope that it contributes something of value. First up, this …

After nearly 18 months, I decided to put my Long Covid story on my website. Far too many people, including doctors, believe sufferers are making a big deal about nothing, as though we are collectively having a fit of the vapours. We are not. isobelblackthorn.com/2024/11/13/m...

Introduction The aim of the COVID-19 immunisation programme is to prevent serious disease (hospitalisation and/or mortality) arising from COVID-19. Over the last 4 years, population immunity to SARS-CoV-2 has been increasing due to a combination of naturally acquired immunity following recovery from infection and vaccine-derived immunity (this combination is termed ‘hybrid immunity’). COVID-19 is now a relatively mild disease for most people, though it can still be unpleasant, with rates of hospitalisation and death from COVID-19 having reduced significantly since SARS-CoV-2 first emerged. Age has always been strongly associated with the risk of hospitalisation and mortality from COVID-19, with the oldest in the population being the most vulnerable. As COVID-19 becomes an endemic disease, and with a move towards standard assessment of cost-effectiveness, the focus of the programme is shifting towards targeted vaccination of the oldest adults and individuals who are immunosuppressed. These are the 2 groups who continue to be at higher risk of serious disease, including mortality.

The JVCI really is not fit for purpose.

Model Georgina Cooper, the Face of Cool Britannia, Dies at 46 The British model was best known for her gapped front tooth and working with photographers such as the late Corinne Day and Elaine Constantine.

“British model Georgina Cooper has died at the age of 46…A source close to the model said that she died on the Greek island of Kos and that she had suffered from a blood brain hemorrhage as a result of long COVID.”

46 yrs old. In case you thought Covid only kills the elderly & vulnerable. Mask up 😷

The "back to normal" facade can only function as long as "healthy" people believe that SARS-COV-2 infection is harmless; in order to maintain this illusion, people who have been or will be harmed by COVID must be thrown under the bus, and be labeled crazy, fringe, or even violent terrorists. In other words, in the fight between COVID and disabled people, healthy/abled people cannot be neutral but must be oriented against either COVID or disabled people. The state knows this and moves aggressively to encourage the public to defend the right of COVID to exist in public spaces over vulnerable people. And they do.

Amid the drama of the Covid inquiry, Chris Whitty quietly pointed to an important truth. Will anyone... England’s chief medical officer owned up to experts’ ignorance of psychology. If only others had been so candid in admitting their errors, says Stephen Reicher, a professor of psychology

And we need @covidinquiryuk to act with courage, and ensure all those guilty of negligence are exposed...'

Yet the JCVI has decided to further reduce vaccine eligibility next year to 75+ & immuno-compromised only.
Cost/benefit ratio, apparently.
I can't fathom how they get away with it.
The UK has a vaccine-only strategy but with practically no vaccines.
