You might be right. I just remember reading a report a few months ago about a nasal vaccine developed by Canadian researchers I think that had proved effective in animal trials

It would be nice if he just stopped at 'i don't want to wear a mask' rather than go on to imply that those who do are mentally ill.

There seem to be promising nasal vaccines in development but no urgency from governments to put them through trials. Meanwhile current vaccines are being de-prioritised.

Prognostic Chats @PrognosticChats Some day you’ll be in hospital for surgery or chemotherapy or with another illness & a nurse, or doctor or visitor at the next bed, or the patient opposite you will give you a Covid infection & your treatment will get delayed & your life will be put at unnecessary risk. 4:28 AM · Oct 12, 2025 · 5,515 Views

This isn’t fearmongering — it’s reality. Hospital-acquired COVID can delay care or cost you your health — even your life.

Infection control measures — masks, ventilation, testing, and staff/patient protections — should be standard care in every healthcare setting.

Covid is no mild cold and the government needs to step up!

Case Ref: 1 message Beccy Cooper MP @drbeccycooper.co.uk> Mon, 6 Oct 2025 at 00:50 Dear Thank you very much for contacting me about your concerns regarding access to Covid-19 vaccination for Clinically Vulnerable people. Please accept my apologies for the delay in responding to your email. I am pleased to be able to confirm that the new Labour government is committed to strengthening our public health response and reducing health inequalities. Labour's recent commitments and statements have made clear that the principle of universal and fair access to vaccines particularly for those who are medically at-risk must be central to our national strategy. In Parliament, Labour MPs have called for a rapid review of JCVI eligibility criteria and for the reinstatement of free Covid-19 vaccination for all Clinically Vulnerable people, in line with the existing approach to NHS flu vaccinations. Many have highlighted, as you do, that the logic and evidence for including all at-risk groups in annual booster rollouts are overwhelming, given the ongoing pandemic context and emergence of new variants. Our party's manifesto commits to taking advice from clinicians and scientists and to working closely with NHS England to ensure that support for the most vulnerable is not withdrawn on cost grounds especially when this may lead to greater suffering and increased NHS pressure. There is widespread concern across Parliament about the risk of deepening health inequality and placing the cost burden of essential preventative care onto those least able to shoulder it. Thank you again for taking the time to share your concerns so powerfully. Best wishes, Dr Beccy Cooper MP Member of Parliament for Worth Parliamentary Office: House of C Telephone: 01903 496390 betw Clinically Vulnerable Families [LOGO]

🚨 BREAKING: Labour MPs back calls to restore NHS Covid vaccines for all Clinically Vulnerable people!

After pressure from CVF members and supporters - a rapid U-turn appears to be underway.

WELL DONE!

#KeepCovidBoosters campaign a HUGE success!

Eligibility for an NHS Covid booster has been HUGELY restricted this Autumn.

Studies show that both acute & long-term impacts of Covid are substantially WORSE than flu on almost every measure.

So why are the government offering so much LESS protection for Covid?

I’m sorry…. But at this point if you fall for “ your kid is always sick because they haven’t been sick enough…”

I feel like a broken record, and not one many folks want to hear nowadays.
But, ignoring resp viruses and the ongoing added burden of COVID is utter stupidity & short termism.
The virus still has cards to play, including the mysterious 3rd omicron family...H/T

If we can't learn from a pandemic, then will we ever? SARS2 is devastating, but H5N1 and others are lining up to have a go next...
Clean the air, monitor, test, and vaccinate. Before it's too late.

Oh, and ignore any US/MAHA/Reform party conference 💩. #vaccineswork 👍💪😇

Will you campaign for clean indoor air measures to protect the population from airborne disease and pollution?

For many COVID-aware people, parents in particular, the fall season represents one big gaslighting extravaganza…let’s be clear, it is NOT normal, ok, valuable, or good in any way for children to be repeatedly infected with a virus that can impact every organ of the body.

There is hope. Now we need governments to implement the pledge through regulation and education @labouruk.bsky.social

Apart from the unnecessary hardship this will inflict on individuals, this will be bad for integration and social cohesion, bad for the economy, and will increase irregular migration.

[And, as @robfordmancs.bsky.social has shown, it's hugely unpopular and out of step with the British public]

Poor indoor air quality costing the country a billion dollars each year, researchers say A public health expert says polluted air is costing the country about a billion dollars each year in healthcare costs and decreased productivity.

A national agency is called for in New Zealand to assess and improve indoor air quality. We need this awareness and action throughout the world.

tools to achieve this, we just don't have the will...yet. Far UV-C lights, HEPA filtration, good ventilation, pathogen surveillance protocols are good, actionable ways of keeping a population healthy. This is responsible use of existing technology that if implemented

Let me be clear. As someone who has been professionally involved with the biodefense / biosecurity sector for nearly 20 years, and has worked on biological risk analysis for Covid-19 since early 2020, reducing one's risk of being infected is not health anxiety. It's just smart.

Absurd. How little does this Government care about the climate?

I'm going to assume that one of the four fixes is not put in place public health measures designed to reduce the spread of a virus known to cause brain fog.

The guidance changed over the Summer for #NHSStaff to wear ffp3 respirators to protect themselves from airborne transmission. This is vital, especially with 13 million clinically vulnerable unvaccinated this Winter. Would Labour like to explain why there has been no messaging on this?
