Yes. Well-known. Vaccination doesn't prevent the neurological manifestations of the disease. academic.oup.com/braincomms/a...

“See you at #SBM2025” Actually… no, you won’t. Still no clean air. Still no respirators. Still no serious action from a field that claims to care about equity, health, and science. I’ll be fighting for those things at home—and sharing my science elsewhere. #LongCovid #CleanAirNow #PublicHealth

Please sign this petition 🙏 My d-i-l's family and thousands of other innocent people in Syria are in danger of being killed by Al-Qaeda terrorists. The ex AQ President seems unable (unwilling?) to stop this 😥

So now the US - Musk & Rubio - has picked a fight with Poland too. 🙄

In my column today I argue that, unbelievably, Labour are worse on environmental issues than the Conservatives. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

UK's regressive tax system. Poorest 10% of households paid 48% of income in tax; richest 10% paid 39%. Poorest 10% paying 12% of income in VAT; richest 10% pay 3%. Council tax: Poorest 10% paying 7%; richest 10% pay 1.2%. No govt plans to end inequity. equalitytrust.org.uk/news/press-r...

A mask (an ffp2+/n95+ mask) worn properly will help stop you catching Covid, flu, rsv, measles, norovirus, whatever virus is the airborne flavour of the month. It's amazing how many people think catching any of those is a good idea.

Hey. Famous people with a bad chest infection. You know why you were vulnerable to a chest infection? BECAUSE THE COVID INFECTIONS YOU'VE HAD HAVE MADE YOU VULNERABLE TO CHEST INFECTIONS. This is precisely what we tried to warn you about, and that you ignored. #ItsCovid

This Is Normal. Everything Is Normal. None Of Any Of This Has Anything To Do With Covid.

Why Do So Many Celebrities Have The Lurgy Right Now?

No, The Chest Infection That You Have Right Now Is Nothing To Do With The Covid Infection You Had Six Weeks Ago That Didn’t Damage Your Immune System Or Anything Like That.

Important for our patients, their families - when next respiratory outbreak/pandemic happens - our next national public health leaders cannot be trusted to follow evidence & common sense on masks or vaccines. But. the data is out there. Here’s a great review on masks #MasksWork #ScienceMatters

New: Universal masking&testing reduce hospital infections, so does staff masking Stopping universal masking&testing led to 25% increase in respiratory viral infections Restarting staff masking led to 33% decrease 8 out of 100 (random sample) died in the hospital jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

We have all the tools but we're not allowed to use them.

Labour can’t even mention long Covid in their ‘Get Britain Working’ White Paper but they can make time for an Assisted Dying Bill. Sums everything up.

"He asked why British far-right figurehead Tommy Robinson had been imprisoned at all. Musk also approvingly shared Robinson’s documentary to his more than 200 million followers" Musk's interventions should be taken seriously. The ideological leanings of oligarchical media barons can affect us all.

Every truly meaningful act of integrity involves some sort of sacrifice. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Difficult to describe what a dangerous moment we are in. The owner of Twitter/richest man in the world/closest adviser to the next US president is promoting a far-right Tommy Robinson (!) documentary to his 200 million followers. This is the mainstreaming of violent, Islamophobic fascism.

The UK Gov, needs to introduce a Salt & Sugar Reformulation Levy to incentivise food manufacturers to reduce the excess use of these ingredients. Besides the health benefits this could raise £2.9-3.4 billion in tax. #nationalfoodstrategy www.theguardian.com/food/2024/no...

BREAKING: Downing Street has said the government would fulfill its legal obligations in relation to the ICC after they issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu

BlackRock accused of contributing to climate & human rights abuses. It has received contracts from successive UK govts. Now in line for housing, education, health, nature and green energy contracts. Does anyone do due diligence, 'fit and proper' person tests? www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Last night only THREE peers in the House of Lords called for public ownership of England's water industry. That was me, Jenny Jones & Natalie Bennett (Green Party) out of a membership of 827. Public ownership officially opposed by Labour, Tories and LibDems. Most people want to end the scandal.

BBC NEWS: "For the first time in the history of Israel you have the world's most senior court finding reasonable grounds for widespread and systematic attacks against the civilian population which are allegations of very serious war crimes".

🚨 BREAKING: We are preparing a £1,000,000 legal war chest to fight any attempt by the British Government to prevent the arrest and prosecution of suspected Israeli War Criminals in the United Kingdom or at the ICC. Full statement 👇

The ICC’s arrest warrants are long overdue. The Prime Minister & Foreign Secretary must immediately endorse this decision. That is the bare minimum. Will the UK government now, finally, honour its international obligations to prevent genocide and end all arms sales to Israel?

RIP John Prescott.

It’s happening

DWP admits (finally) what many campaign groups have been saying for weeks - the winter fuel payment cuts will plunge tens of thousands of pensioners into poverty I wouldn’t want to be the Minister doing tomorrow morning’s interview round @bigissue.bsky.social www.bigissue.com/news/social-...

This is absolutely terrible. Wes Streeting recently said that GP practices aren’t ’formally part of the NHS’ and is refusing to support them through the financial difficulties created by the new budget🚨

Jewish activists poured red paint on the steps of the Israeli consulate in Toronto, demanding a ceasefire in Israel's war on Gaza.

I have just set up this account on Bluesky. I won’t be deleting my Twitter account because there’s a bit of history within it. I will also confirm on Twitter & Facebook this is my account.

There are very few far right accounts on BlueSky. So if you block the likes of Nigel Farage, Tommy Robinson, Laurence Fox, GB News etc. as soon as they show up, they'll find it very hard to gain traction. (They're counting on the network effect of YOUR outrage. Don't give them the satisfaction.)

Appalling. Remote controlled drones being used to hover over, look at, and then cynically shoot children ranks amongst the sickest cowardice ever. Best not highlight who is doing it though, hey BBC?

Several weeks ago, I posted on another site about my 8 year-old niece who contracted Covid 4x during the last school year, and is now suffering from significant memory loss. Recently, I picked her up to take her apple picking and noticed a drastic personality change.

"My desire to be well-informed is currently at odds with my desire to remain sane."

Please support bookshops. Independent bookshops. They are so wonderful. Yes you pay a little more. But I think of it as paying for the experience. The experience of browsing. And that oh-so-important bookshop smell. 🖖 Fu** big corporations.

Hello! I’m not sure how many people who care about the NHS are here yet- but the non-profit campaign org I run (EveryDoctor) is running a massive campaign involving 99 MPs so far, and I need to connect with as many lovely folk as possible. If you follow me, share+like this I’ll follow you back!Ju☺️💙

TL;DR The CDC is recommending pneumococcal adult vaccine at 50 yrs instead of 65yrs because we are getting sicker 15 years younger than before. And that’s only after 5 years of pandemic fun. Just wait till you see what happens next.
