A success story, yes. But for whom?" The UK Covid Inquiry just called the vaccines & therapeutics rollout a triumph. Meanwhile: → 5M antivirals binned → UK denied immunocompromised people suitable protection → u5s never offered a vaccine www.clinicallyvulnerable.org/post/covid-i...

CVF relies on your support to keep going. If you can make even a small donation it will make a huge difference. Thank you!!! 💕 www.clinicallyvulnerable.org/donate

Dr. Cathy Finnis shared her vulnerable daughter's experience trying to get hold of a vaccine before she started school. She also explains the need to restore the vaccine offer to include all Clinically Vulnerable people. 4/

And Sarah Steven explains the struggles her family went through whilst trying to access antivirals in a broken system. 5/

Have you seen the new Dawn French “comedy” series that implies that infection control is a joke? This is a serious issue, particularly for Clinically Vulnerable people who remain at increased risk, and we are not laughing. 1/

Really not funny as people continue to be hospitalised from COVID and suffer post infection risks like blood clots, heart damage. How did we get to a place where the European Society of Cardiologists acknowledges that heart damage is becoming ‘more common’ due to COVID and still there is no 🧵

If you can please complain about this as it directly affects people like myself who are clinically vulnerable & have to take protective measures if we go anywhere near public life as airborne viruses are actually a threat to our life. Lifes hard enough without being mocked by unfunny tv programmes.

FUN FACT: Only 2️⃣ people have given evidence to the UK Covid Inquiry wearing a mask. I was #OneOfTheTwo, and the other was Dr Cathy Finnis. We both spoke on behalf of people managing health risks in Clinically Vulnerable Families. @jonstewartshow.bsky.social @jonfavs.bsky.social @timodc.bsky.social

🧵 This autumn the UKHSA is rightly worried, as 'flu is a real risk... TLDR: Clinically Vulnerable people ALL need 'flu vaccines + antivirals this year (if symptomatic or exposed) + confused infection control guidance. If you are Clinically Vulnerable, please read on... 1/

Worryingly low 'flu vaccine uptake. Latest NHS England data: 🙋🏾‍♂️28.9% Clinically Vulnerable <65s 🤰29.7% pregnant 🥼HCWs 30.9% 🧓65+ 61.5% If we can’t reach our 'flu targets in a concerning epidemic, what hope for the private Covid protection model? - Vulnerable lives at risk!

"Clinical Vulnerability" needs to mentioned in terms of flexibility. It would be helpful to name that much more clearly. It should be explicitly mentioned in connection with a proactively supportive approach on the part of schools for the child or the family. 👏👏👏 4/
