"Clean air for every child in every classroom is a right, not a privilege."
"This is why for Montenegro, improving air quality in schools is not a secondary concern. It is a fundamental responsibility. A matter of safeguarding the next generation."

โThe Inquiry in Module 3 instructed multiple experts to consider how health settings can be made safer in a future pandemic. So why not instruct experts, even the same experts - why not the same experts - in this module, to consider how to make schools safe?โ

The final preliminary hearing for the Children & Young Peopleโs module was today, CVF, again, made the case for safety.
Children's deaths *would* have been higher if many Clinically Vulnerable families had not kept their children away from schools.

We are shocked and saddened to hear of the sudden death of @tigresseleanor.bsky.social, who has been so instrumental in helping us keep accurate numbers of covid deaths in the public domain. We have relied on Eleanor's diligent, generous work every week for updates. Our deepest condolences. โค๏ธ

When scant public health messaging isnโt even rooted in science, how do young mothers protect their vulnerable children from harm that lingers in air?

Dear @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social
@gwynnemp.bsky.social
Feeling incredibly angry and upset.
Our young child who is clinically vulnerable has tested positive for covid again, despite trying our very best to avoid.
When will public health protections be improved?
Enough is enough.

Children in the UK were left waiting far longer for Covid vaccines than children in other European countries.
It was incredibly difficult for children in Clinically Vulnerable households.
