In the UK, restricting free access to proven vaccines ignores the evidence and is a public health failure. Please sign this petition to urge the UK government to overturn its shortsighted policy - and make the COVID-19 vaccine universally available, free of charge. www.change.org/Make-Covid-V...

What I haven't seen in the questioning so far is the problem that pervaded the whole of the COVID response re: schools: in the middle of a pandemic of a *novel* virus, it was repeatedly *assumed* to have no significant harms to children. No precautionary principle. What could possibly go wrong?

Does anyone know of any jurisdiction in the world that has mandatory respirators in healthcare?

📣 Germany's close to reversing its opposition to mass surveillance & private message scanning, & backing the Chat Control bill. This could end private comms-& Signal-in the EU. Time's short and they're counting on obscurity: please let German politicians know how horrifying their reversal would be.

The PCR positivity map is out, and it's evident that everywhere is seeing a significant surge. UKHSA positivity has risen to 11.83%. Adjusted for non-reporting areas, we make that 13.77%. jamestindall.info/skeuomorphol... 1/8

I once heard a story about raccoons doing this, but being even more efficient and rolling up the sod completely.

Researchers in Spain have developed a new intranasal COVID-19 vaccine that eliminates the virus in mice. One dose gave 60% protection, but two intranasal doses achieved 100% protection with no detectable virus in nasal or lung tissue, suggesting sterilizing immunity. www.csic.es/es/actualida...

It is disproportionate to the point of absurdity to treat people sitting peacefully in a group holding signs as ‘terrorists’. People are outraged by the genocide in Gaza and are entitled to express their horror. Call on UK prosecutors to end these prosecutions: amn.st/63329ARB1U

i share this mayo clinic video every year because more people need to see and hear how horrific a disease whooping cough is

This is precisely why Covid-19 vaccines should be available free of charge for everyone in the UK. The government not purchasing enough vaccines to make this possible is the definition of a false economy. inews.co.uk/news/hospita...

Lucy Connolly was convicted of inciting racial hatred, and her tweet was part of the tinder that lit violence, intimidation, looting, and thuggery across England last year. The fact Reform conference gave her a standing ovation says everything about that movement. bylinetimes.com/2025/08/27/l...

In response to my rant yesterday, I was asked how we can make better parks and other public places for teenage girls? What do they want? I have answers to this, so now a positive 🧵. Starting in Sweden, where this was co-designed by teenage girls.

The party on the left has 72 MPs - more than any liberal party has had for 100yrs. party on right has been around a tiny fraction of that time & has just 4 seats. Greens also have 4 - more than ever 72 v 4 v 4 Demand fairer coverage now Sign and pass on.. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

A petition has just been created to help get vaccines back for the 13 million clinically vulnerable & disabled Labour has cut. It would be great if folks could sign and share. There is some urgency to this as many were also exempt from the spring booster. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

🚨😷🚨😷🚨😷🚨😷 BREAKING NEWS At last, in the UK, we now have official guidance on the use of respirators (FFP3) vs Fluid Resistant Surgical Masks (FRSM) which has been prepared SPECIFICALLY FOR THE HEALTHCARE SECTOR. 🚨😷🚨😷🚨😷🚨😷

Rebuilding my June 22, 2022, Twitter thread of reviews, research, infographics and comments that, I think, convey the effectiveness of masks and masking, thanks to the hard work of others. Please ping me with good & more recent examples! #MasksWork

The long period of historically lower Covid infection levels in England has come to an end. Covid infection levels in England have jumped nearly a fifth in the last week, and the overall Covid risk is just below High. Now is the time to start resuming strict precautions. buds.org.uk/covid-19-ris...

We want over platforming of ONE party to stop & fair coverage of ALL our parties set out in law. Everyone already signed should pass on the request to 1 other person they know. It takes just 30 seconds. But you need to live in the UK. Need to hit 10k by sep13! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

Support this petition: The UK government needs to direct @ukhsa.bsky.social 'to ensure the relevant policy on the management of healthcare associated infections (HCAI) is extended to include the recording of data on COVID infections spread within hospitals'. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

It’s the elephant in the room & our broadcast media knows it. Democracy can’t function without fair coverage of ALL parties. The overplatforming of 1 needs to stop. If we don’t do something now we’ll regret it. Sign the petition & pass on. Need 3,900 by Sept 13 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

Shouldn't our government ensure that the relevant policy on the management of healthcare associated infections (HCAI) is extended to include monitoring and recording of data on COVID infections spread within hospitals? Please read and support this petition: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/732047

If you’re sick right now, please test for Covid. Stay home if it’s at all possible, and wear a mask. Ideally an N95. It’s not over. It was never over. No one is coming to save us so we must save each other. One of the best ways to do that is to commit to breaking chains of transmission!

📢 BIG NEWS!!! For the first time, the Electoral Commission has recognised the voting access needs of Clinically Vulnerable people - thanks to CVF! But we’re not done. They are running a public consultation, and we need your help! 1/🧵 #MyMaskMyVote

I thought it might be helpful to do a more general immunology explainer which I can then build on for example when I discuss specific papers or political actions. Do let me know if its useful and other topics if so. This first one is a general one about how we tackle infections... 🧪 #ImmunoSky

As of July 1st, CO2 Monitors are mandatory in all Dutch classrooms. Why not in Austria? @schumannkorinna.bsky.social @andibabler.at @goeg.at Don't our elected officals care about the kids and their future?

I am retyping up this thread from x to share from 2023. This is why I have campaigned on COVID since early 2020. The background to how we arrived at this point is very important and at the beginning only clinically vulnerable who shielded and scientists were posting. This might take a long time 🧵

The PCR positivity map is out and national positivity has unfortunately bounced back up to 6%. A lot of areas are seeing the yo-yo effect now, and I'm glad to see some areas have increased testing. jamestindall.info/skeuomorphol... 1/9

I did my safeguarding level 3 mandatory training this week on FII (Fabricated or induced illness - seen as a form of child abuse) and PP (perplexing presentations) i.e. symptoms that don’t make sense to paediatricians. Look at the symptoms that these ‘abusive’ parents may report.

there are so many great things about generative AI! here are some of my favorites <3

a new study found that experienced open source programmers became 19% less efficient when they used AI tools, because they spent more time prompting and reviewing AI generation output than they saved on coding.

"If all HCWs wore N95 masks during treatment, the total hourly infection risk would decrease by 94.7%." Hey. Healthcare workers (and everyone for that matter). Guess what. Masking WORKS at preventing airborne infection transmission. Why the hell don't you? Do you like spreading diseases?

Here’s a great guide for why and how to reduce covid spread in schools. Accessible, free, and go-at-your-own-pace.
