Pharmacies facing angry patients over Covid jab confusion
Up to half of patients coming to some pharmacies are being turned away because they are not eligible.
Unsurprising.
Can anyone explain why JCVI recommendations for #covid booster this autumn different from Canadaβs where 65+ & health & care staff still eligible unlike in NHS?

This morning, the Covid Inquiry began hearings on the impact of the pandemic on young people.
Our thousands of members include parents who lost children and children who lost parents.
But the Inquiry has chosen to silence those voices by denying us core participant status.

Ordinary humans do make a difference. Charlotte Hennessey is you or me. Because of her relentless Hillsborough campaigning, & willingness to form a coalition with other campaigns against state sanctioned violence & coverups, she got to take a national stage. As @cbffjuk.bsky.social proud to stand.

Today, after decades of campaigning by the families of the 97 people unlawfully killed at the Hillsborough Football Disaster, the government will introduce the Hillsborough Law to Parliament.
The families have campaigned tirelessly to ensure future families donβt face the same injustice.

What do we know about the Covid-19 virus five years on?
As the virus continues to evolve, experts assess its latest variants, seasonal prevalence and levels of vaccine uptake
"Whereas a small change in transmissibility conditions is enough to stop flu in summer, Sars-CoV-2 can basically evolve its way over this barrier" β I spoke to The Guardian about why COVID doesn't seem that constrained by season: www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Some pet owners are running into trouble with adopted rescue dogs from abroad.
A salutory and tragic lesson. The rescue dog my cousin Dan bought, & the unscrupulous woman who supplied it, significantly impacted his mental health in the weeks before he sadly took his own life. Please be careful where you buy your dog π
