Some of the media has constantly portrayed those still wearing masks who are now mainly those who are clinically vulnerable or long covid sufferers as being overly anxious or implying we have mental health problems over our real health risks. Whilst they simultaneously platform antivaxxer far right🧵

13 million clinically vulnerable have no vaccine access and much of the media is still chastising us for wearing a mask to protect ourselves from airborne transmission. They aren’t telling people this though. So what are you saying? We don’t care you are anxious over your real health risks.

📢 SHH UK Position Statement #2: 🔑 Urgent call to update UK Infection Prevention & Control (IPC) guidance 👉 Key actions needed for #SafeAir4All 🔗 shh-uk.org/shh-uk-po...#2#SafeAir4All#LongCovidAwareness #LongCovidRecovery #PublicHealth #SafeAir #LongCovid

Why is the government removing 13 million vaccines to the many vulnerable people, many of whom have shielded and have a high risk of being hospitalised. Also why aren’t vaccines being rolled out out to long covid sufferers also at increased risk of hospitalisation etc. None of it makes sense 🤷‍♀️

Keir Starmer's aides are reportedly telling him not to go to the COP30 climate conference, because Reform would attack him for it. Yes, they might. And he should wear it as a badge of honour. Standing up for humanity, for science and a habitable planet. Where's the hazard in that?

The most annoying thing Labour keep saying like a mantra is that they are here for ‘working people but I can tell you now that you aren’t here for me. You have failed to protect working people from airborne transmission by ignoring the WHO advice on long covid, restricting vaccines and we are 🧵

The Oxford coverscan happened early on and it was very downplayed. What about cumulative damage from reinfections? The damage folks are getting from long covid is not mild. www.youtube.com/watch?v=u26C...

Do you think it’s ethical to still not have rolled out #CleanAir to all schools in the UK? And by that I mean classrooms, dining rooms, staff rooms, everywhere. Covid is wherever anyone talks or breathes. Children are the least vaccinated, most exposed. www.mirror.co.uk/news/health/...

🦠 Long Covid Facts... Cleaner indoor air = fewer infections = less Long Covid. We need #SafeAir4All 🌬️💚 #LongCovid #CleanAir #PublicHealth #longcovidawareness #longcovidrecovery

Our latest blog went live earlier this week. In it @EvonneTCurran discusses how while handwashing shouldn't be ignored it's not the most important preventative measure for airborne infections. shh-uk.org/hand-hygi...

We were never told to wear ffp2/3 respirators. We were told to wear gappy surgical FRSM masks, for an airborne virus. We were also told we could remove them to dine out in a shared air space, of course people caught COVID. We should have been told to wear ffp2/N95 masks and medical staff wear ffp3.🧵

As a public health expert, I’m thrilled this recognition of the importance of indoor air quality for health and wellbeing is happening at an international level. Thanks to all the sponsors and organisers.

people.com/violet-affle... Violet Affleck is an amazing ambassador for young people. There are alot of leaders who should listen to this young lady. #CleantheAir

I agree with Violet Affleck, millions of young people are having their ‘present stolen from them’. More grown up than many in government. We need to urgently #CleantheAir. Millions of children have long covid. This should be a wake up call!

Speaking truth to power 🍎

1. As someone at high clinical risk interacting online daily with others locally & globally whose lives are similarly restricted due to unsafe indoor air, I couldn't be more honoured & excited to be part of this landmark initiative to make healthy indoor air a priority for every country & community

Shout out to @london.gov.uk Sadiq Khan for speaking truth to power. More moral courage in his little finger etc etc.

Incredible talk here at the #UNGA80 #indoorair call to action from our very own Violet Affleck! Reminding us that #longcovid affects all of us, the #covid19 pandemic is ongoing and we have failed to protect our children. Thank you, Violet, for speaking the truth to this room 🙏🏻

In the UK, young children have been denied Covid vaccines (even unavailable privately). Children currently in year 4 and above were the last to be offered any doses, and very few took them up. This year, even Clinically Vulnerable children will be denied access to any Covid vaccines.

Covid is a predominantly airborne virus and this should be front page headlines!

Being anti vaccines for babies is one of the surest signs of a declining civilisation. There could be no clearer evidence on childhood vaccination saving lives and preserving health and yet we’re being distracted by debating this issue.
