Politically, environmentally, technologically and socially up the creek. Hoping for a change but not for the worse.. Getting older looking for new ways of aging in place. Masking in crowded public places.

We found a link between SARS-CoV-2 reinfection & #longCOVID, & a post-pandemic rise in thrombotic events across all populations, regardless of vaccination or prior infection. Findings support continued COVID diagnosis in suspected cases & mask use by healthcare workers treating respiratory patients

First Farage platformed notorious UK anti-vaxxer, Aseem Malhotra, who insinuated that Covid vaccines caused the Royal Familyโ€™s recent cancers.

Now heโ€™s openly trashing scientific method & evidence, pretending neither can be trusted & facts are a free for all.

This is deeply dangerous populism.

Just to be clear:
- Paracetamol does not cause autism.
- Sadiq Khan is not introducing Sharia law in the UK
- We do not have a massive free speech problem here.
- Britain is not on the verge of civil war.
These are not controversial subjects or contested, they're just not true.

Thanks for the link. They are in touch with national organisations and is a counsellor for people with Adrenal Insufficiency for one. We were looking for active research into this. There is often a gap between academic research and lay information

Thanks for this Rachel. I was discussing your post with a family member and below is what they said. Do you have a reference that is accessible to Ebba Nexoโ€™s work on this that might persuade a GP to extend NICE guidance.

Thank you for tracking this. Shame as someone eligible for an NHS vaccination for Covid I will be given the one from Summer 24 not the latest one approved that will be able to be bought in the UK. Should I get the NHS one then pay for the updated vaccine 2 months later?

I also drink mine black. I ask for an ice cube i. mine. Otherwise itโ€™s too hot to drink for so long. Also danger of hand scalding from holding the too thincardboard cups if I donโ€™t have my own handy.

Local Healthwatch is under threat ๐Ÿšจ
Replacing independent watchdogs with apps + in-house consultation = weaker scrutiny, less trust, & lost voices.
Itโ€™s not too late to call for a rethink. @felly500.bsky.social @simonduffy.bsky.social @rozdavies.bsky.social

Whatโ€™s with the Angela Rayner witch-hunt by the media? The world is going to pot and this is a minor unintended tax infringement. Headlines for three days. For goodness sake.

HEATED DEBATE: Rep. Jamie Raskin DESTROYS Nigel Farage in Explosive Capitol Hill Clash | AC1G YouTube video by DRM News

Sparred? Is that โ€˜BBC impartialityโ€™ I sense?
Raskin absolutely destroyed him, and the British media should learn a thing or two from it, particularly the BBC, in general.

Hereโ€™s the full dialogue โ€” hope #Newsnight be showing some of it.

Before the UK government goes hook line and sinker into #AI can we resolve having to print blood forms in the blood testing clinic in the local #NHS hospital. And then the printer sticks.
