🚨 WARNING: As of Monday, wearing a mask at a protest is a criminal offence in England & Wales. This is now the law. 🧵 on what this means for Clinically Vulnerable people... 1/ #ProtectVulnerableProtesters

No one should have to choose between their health and their right to protest. Wearing a mask at a protest must be a protected right in law for Clinically Vulnerable people, and those managing health risks.

‼️‼️ not good. America’s no-masking protest laws have arrived in the uk.

Fucking hell

Every time something like this happens and there isn’t an outcry about it, we move a little bit further on the Overton window.

WTF

Need a new antibiotic or vaccine target? A new AI tool, Claude Science, may help identify promising candidates. Of course, potential discoveries still require extensive testing before any new antibiotics or vaccines can become available. m.slashdot.org/story/455920

Good news!

Potential Ebola case in Glasgow at Queen Elizabeth University Hospital's Acute Receiving Unit. Testing is underway. 🤞🤞 it isn't.

Awful news as a doctor returning from DR Congo has tested positive for Ebola. Hopefully containment strategies are successful. 🙏

💉Meningitis vaccines will be offered to y13s this summer. We welcome this news, but we question the lack of vaccines for current university students and young people. Halls are not the only transmission risk - as proven by the nightclub outbreak.

Children in shielding households also became a new - and widely unrecognised - group of carers.

For immunosuppressed / immunocompromised families like Ryan's the risk and impacts didn't end when Boris Johnson claimed the end to "restrictions" was "a moment of pride".

🚨NEW: Our 2026 Voting Accessibility Audit looked at whether the Electoral Commission's new guidance for Clinically Vulnerable voters was actually being implemented at polling stations. The headline finding? It helped people vote more safely! ⬇️ 1/

📢A vaccine for all virus variants? AI has been used by Cambridge and Southampton uni researchers to develop a Covid vaccine that could protect against all variants. Researchers also hope the technology could help create vaccines against other viruses.

So depressing. One of the main take homes from module 3 of the COVID Inquiry is to make no assumptions, and to keep mitigations against all potential transmission routes until you have good evidence to rule one out. It seems we've learned nothing.

"Ebola is not airborne. There's no evidence of that at all." From a very respected expert. :-( We shouldn't state with certainty things that we can't be certain of, that have some evidence to the contrary, and may very soon change, if it hasn't done so already.

🇺🇸United States Joins 🇦🇺Australia, 🇬🇧United Kingdom, 🇮🇳India, 🇧🇭Bahrain, 🇯🇴Jordan and Other Nations in Issuing Severe Travel Warnings and / or Border Restrictions as Deadly Ebola Bundibugyo Strain Sparks Global Health Alarm- Latest Update www.travelandtourworld.com/news/article...

The PCR positivity map is out, national positivity has reached under 1%, and few areas are over 5%. We have Scottish data this week too - next release will be in a month - and levels look minimal. jamestindall.info/skeuomorphol... 1/12

The FDA reviewed 96 child deaths and classified NONE as "certain" to be caused by the Covid vaccine. 2 cases were "probable" and 5 "possible" - but alternative explanations couldn't be ruled out. This contradicts earlier claims that 10 kids died "because of" the vaccine. 1/

📢 BREAKING CVF are honored to have collaborated with GO AQS on their Indoor Air Quality Standards for Schools initiative. All children and staff need clean air in schools - especially Clinically Vulnerable families. New standards would make education safer and more inclusive.

We appreciate there is a rapidly evolving situation with Wes stepping down today, but the hantavirus situation is also changing with quarantining individuals now returning home, @sharonhodgsonmp.bsky.social. We are updating our email and will resend it to you shortly. bsky.app/profile/cvce...

📢 MEDIA RELEASE Cruise passengers exposed to hantavirus are about to leave hospital and isolate at home. Where is the plan, @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social ? Families, NHS staff and delivery drivers deserve to see it.

And this is the dress rehearsal for the next major pandemic

OUR NEW BMJ editorial: Andes virus should reset WHO’s default approach to airborne risk. 🧵 1/ For severe pathogens with person-to-person transmission, the starting point should be precautionary airborne protections — not waiting for definitive proof after spread occurs. www.bmj.com/content/393/...

very important piece

🎉 Good news! "U.S. citizen... who was originally reported by authorities to have tested “mildly positive” for the Andes strain of hantavirus has since tested negative for the disease twice. No Americans are among the seven confirmed patients with the virus."

Please complete the Electoral Commission's voter survey (England) eu.research.net/r/DL5YMZD Mention: 🔹️Voter ID barriers (due to masking) 🔹️Outdoor ID checks 🔹️"See a mask, wear a mask" policy (did it work?) 🔹️Ventilation standards (open doors / windows) 1/

Wes Streeting wants new laws to force your GP to share your medical records. The bill was not in Labour's Manifesto and Palantir has explicitly said, under a new Government, it would be happy to use medical data for other purposes. Be afraid.

🚨 60+ of the world's leading hantavirus scientists have released a statement about the Andes virus outbreak linked to the cruise ship Hondius. There's been a lot of noise on this topic. Here's what you need to know. 1/🧵

#MyMaskMyVote voted. Solidarity to my @cvcev.bsky.social friends. ❤️🙏

675 ppm in my station, no windows open but single door kept open leading straight outside. Wasn't asked to remove my kn95 when I showed my passport. Sadly, no dogs outside the station.
