This devastating, emotional, 2-minute clip of the oral evidence from Professor Kevin Fong (@drkevinfong.bsky.social) discussing his hospital visits at the height of the second wave perhaps explains it best. 7/19

🧵The Covid Inquiry’s latest reports have made one thing brutally clear: the first year of the pandemic - and especially the second Covid wave in winter 2020/21 - was devastating. Much of that devastation was avoidable. This 🧵: impact on NHS, impact on bereaved, and avoidable harm. 1/19

A lot of deaths and unnecessary suffering could have been avoided.. it didn’t have to be like this.. please take the time to read and get angry

Let Robert Mueller’s death be a reminder that the Mueller Report concluded: 1. Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help Trump win 2. Trump and allies knew Russia was helping them 3. Trump and allies obstructed Mueller’s investigation Trump can and should still be impeached for this.

What I’m feeling—what I think a lot of us are feeling—is bigger than anything I can hold in one essay. There are things happening in this country and in this world right now that keep me up at night. Things that go so far beyond my professional lane, I don't even know where to begin.

Some of the most important threats to democracy do not make the biggest headlines - especially (and understandable) given the new war in Iran. This 4 min update looks at actions weakening the rule of law, reducing oversight, expanding executive power, and making voting harder. youtu.be/DzHg-TbhdfQ

TRUMP’S IRAN WAR: we are starting a war illegally (ie without congressional approval), in order to obliterate Iran’s nuclear capability, which the White House has said it does not have any more as a result of the Trump administration’s attack on Iran last year? In short: An illegal pretextual war.

There is a measles outbreak in London, which has been widely reported. Vaccination rates are low. And we have been warned that an outbreak could be large. Some of the reasons are due to misinformation and disinformation. Thankfully the Government appears to be waking up. A thread.

Watch out for the midterms. The Trump administration has chipped away at free and fair elections over the last year - here are some of the things they've done over the last month... All actions available on www.trumpactiontracker.info Subtitles available! youtu.be/EkgsDCtAv-E

this is a very worrying development, among a host of worrying developments.

The pandemic preparedness programme at NIAD is to be cut in yet another inexplicable decision by Bhattacharya. Without the research that was done by institutes such as the NIAD that was already looking at coronaviruses we would not have had such speedy vaccine development 🧪🧵 #HealthPolicy

Today the UK lost its measles elimination status. If enough folks are vaccinated, it can also protect those who are vulnerable and/or can't get the vaccine. Here is a post about community immunity I wrote for @thosenerdygirls.bsky.social about last year. thosenerdygirls.org/vaccination-...

The UK has lost its measles elimination status - this is terrible news.

Please please vaccinate your child against measles. This is from our @independentsage.bsky.social report from last year, led by @trishgreenhalgh.bsky.social & @helensalisbury.bsky.social independentsage.org/wp-content/u...

The killings in Minneapolis didn’t come out of nowhere. Funding, legal cover, weakened oversight, and dehumanising rhetoric ramping up over a year. This started on 20 Jan 2025 with Trump's executive orders on immigration. I lay it out in my latest post. christinapagel.substack.com/p/the-ice-st...
