We need these for Ebola because the virus can be aerosolised and still each day are photos of medical staff sadly wearing FRSM masks. 🧵

The guidance is unpicking trust in science and has allowed many to listen to misinformation. We need transparency on Covid.

@theguardian.com Where are you on Covid is airborne? Incorrect mask guidance since 2020. This led to misinformation. Why wasn’t this front page news before the elections? The Covid inquiry stated the guidance was ‘flawed’ four weeks ago!

The denialism that COVID hasn’t overloaded our NHS is an absolute farce. The guidance has been incorrect for 6 years! That includes people having no protection when they mingled in bubbles, were essential workers, wandered around the supermarket and caught covid when they went to get vaccinated. 🧵

The Covid Airborne Transmission Alliance (CATA) has stood down. The Executive Team has completed its mandate from its 12 member organisations i.e. to represent them at the UK COVID-19 Inquiry. A copy of our final letter to members is attached. tinyurl.com/CATA-stands-...

Here we go again! The Anti-Aerosol brigade rides again! 'Airbrushes to the ready - Charge!

As of today, any UK agency now flogging droplet not airborne precautions for ANY disease should be investigated for misconduct. #Meningitis #COVID #Flu #RSV #Measles #MedSky #EpiSky #LawSky #ukpoli www.cps.gov.uk/prosecution-...

In this presentation to the Safer Healthcare Biosafety Network, some of CATA's key findings are discussed, including some highly questionable activities by the former '4-Nations IPC Cell' & ARHAI, which blocked the provision of respirators to HCWs at the height of the pandemic. tinyurl.com/CATA-SHBN

Today is #LongCovidAwarenessDay. Sunday — will @uklabourparty.bsky.social Govt @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social ignore it or show awareness that millions live with Long Covid? This time in 2020 a decision was taken to deny and downgrade #Covid's risk. t.co/cOH4af9r73 That risk remains today. Be Aware.

CATA (Covid Airborne Transmission Alliance) has today issued this press release ahead of next Thursday's publication of the Inquiry's module 3 report: tinyurl.com/CATA-press-r...

Presentation to SHBN (Safer Healthcare Biosafety Network) on behalf of CATA (Covid Airborne Transmission Alliance) with comment on the UK Covid-19 Public Inquiry Module 2 report published in November. tinyurl.com/DO-SHBN-21-1... (Apologies: Tech issues prevented earlier posting)

Millions of people have died because of this widespread incompetence of the #WHO! Thank you for adding more information about the outrage of someone who understands public health, like me.

SURGICAL MASKS DO NOT PROTECT So encouraging to see the sheer strength of feeling amongst so many highly-respected scientists & medical practitioners from across the world making representations to WHO This letter from World Health Network is a must-read tinyurl.com/WHN-Letter-t...

As the health and safety specialist in CATA (Covid Airborne Transmission Alliance - a core participant in the Covid Inquiry), I am very involved with healthcare H&S scandals. In particular the betrayal of healthcare workers by HM Gov’t during COVID. May I offer a few thoughts… #2/21

Brilliant article by Rebecca Thomas (the Independent): tinyurl.com/yksjxj5b and Victoria Macdonald (Channel 4 News): tinyurl.com/3dn8mwx5 They've covered the 'formalin scandal' brilliantly. #1/21 @channel4news.bsky.social @the-independent.com @vsmacdonald.bsky.social @rebeccasmt.bsky.social

CATA has written an open letter to Baroness Hallett archive.org/details/2025...

Poster recently published by NHS Scotland. Incorrect, dangerous guidance to the public about spread of diseases like flu, COVID-19 etc and how hand-washing is key to keeping themselves safe (would you believe!) Formal complaint lodged. See: tinyurl.com/52wbmye9

🚨🚨🚨 CATA Press Release 🚨🚨🚨 www.bohs.org/media-and-re...

On Thurs 20th, Lady Hallett publishes her module 2 report. We wait with interest to see how it covers the deception wrought upon HCWs that: a) Covid is droplet/fomite, but not airborne b) Flimsy Fluid Resistant Surgical Masks are 'PPE' and will keep you safe.

📢 Children have been bullied by adults and children, denied remote education & families threatened with fines – just for trying to stay safe in a pandemic. This is the reality for Clinically Vulnerable families. Read CVF's new blog ahead of the #CovidInquiry children’s module👇 which starts 29 Sep

[27 Jun 2025] @DrTedros at WHO media briefing: “We cannot talk about COVID-19 in the past tense. Although the crisis has passed, the virus remains. It continues to evolve, it continues to kill, and millions of people continue to live with post COVID-19 condition or long COVID.”

Exercise Pegasus - The UK Prepares for Pandemic simulation. I wonder whether key stakeholders will be invited to join as participants or observers? By "key stakeholders” I mean those who will die or be seriously harmed when Gov UK gets it wrong (again!)

🚨🚨🚨 STOP PRESS 🚨🚨🚨 Paper published by eminent UK scientists compare the effectiveness of PPE and other risk controls for protecting healthcare workers against Covid infections. academic.oup.com/annweh/artic... Powered hoods most effective FFP3s almost as effective. FRSMs very poor.

🚨😷🚨😷🚨😷🚨😷 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. 🚨😷🚨😷🚨😷🚨😷

I'm overwhelmed by the public support for a CSA National Standard in 🇨🇦 for precautionary universal N95 use in healthcare From all over the world Like this comment from @safedavid3.bsky.social

🚨🔔 🚨🔔 🚨🔔 🚨🔔 🚨🔔 HSE are holding their AGM on 29th July. I have tabled 3 questions in advance. These may be of interest to healthcare workers - those still in service and those who were injured by Covid and can no longer work (or are limited as to what they can do).

Dr Phil Hammond reveals in Private Eye that CATA (the Covid Airborne Transmission Alliance) is threatening to take the UK Government to Court for a judicial review. Pre-action protocols require the parties to attempt to resolve their issues out of Court.

Please support this petition which directs UKHSA to monitor COVID infections which occur in particular settings. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70... An open and transparent insight is needed into HealthCare Associated Infections Please re-post widely. Only a few days to go

Covid-19 is airborne. Poor indoor air quality in healthcare settings increases infection risks for staff, patients & visitors. We’re calling for urgent action. Read our second position statement: 🔗 shh-uk.org/shh-uk-posit... #SafeAir4All #ProtectHCWs #LongCovid

CATA (Covid Airborne Transmission Alliance) has given accounts of its involvement with the UK COVID-19 Inquiry to the SHBN The presentations may be found here: tinyurl.com/yc33td7z Includes a summary of CATA's representations to Ministers and Chief Nursing Officers (who continue to remain silent).

NB @ashleydaltonmp.bsky.social Come clean! Improve and save lives, get people's health and wellbeing back on track for a more productive workforce (and better economic growth)!

A second mention of our beloved wall in Parliament today shows an understanding that the wall is an ongoing thing, a living memorial to our beloved dead. ❤️

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 CATA (The Covid Airborne Transmission Alliance) has, once again, written to Health Minister, Ashley Dalton, on the topic airborne transmission of Covid-19 and other diseases and her stated refusal to change IPC guidance. Our letter can be found here: tinyurl.com/ykvftvdu /1 of 11

Just in case anyone is reading any covid-related documents and clicks the link to the now famous HSE RR619 "Evaluating the protection afforded by surgical masks" they will now get a broken link (404). HSE have shuffled it out of the way. New link: webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ukgwa/202412...

How many others with Long-Covid have been unfairly discriminated against due to lack of "reasonable adjustments" by unfeeling, uncaring employers in healthcare, education and so many other sectors of industry? This could be a helpful case. www.ioshmagazine.com/2025/04/11/b...

www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cpR... Covid was known to be airborne from day 1. The guidance is still incorrect.

I spend my days in the microscope quantifying things like the images below. These photos show neurons 🔵 and microglia 🟣 (brain immune cells). Each #SARSCoV2 infected cell entering the brain generates this response in our Covid monkey model. #FluorescenceSaturday #NeuroCovid

youtu.be/2cpRZ-ZoOVA?... I can’t empathise enough how important it is for everyone to watch this evidence from the #Covidinquiry. It shows they lied to us about covid being on surfaces. That the current guidance we have now is still wrong and it’s still costing lives. #covidisairborne 🧵

This BBC piece 24/2/21 shows we knew then but still UK IPC guidance does not reflect airborne transmission with RPE such as FFP3 respirators.

Oops! say NERVTAG the next day – You can’t do that! Best get the relevant committee (ACDP) to declassify C-19 as HCID PDQ. ACDP obligingly declassify, following discussion between JVT and ACDP Chair, within the hour of this indiscretion being realised in NERVTAG! Job done! 9/11

💥💥💥💥💥 Following her recent letter, CATA has written to the Minister respectfully advising her that, as per her predecessor (Gwynne), she’s been badly advised. One can only speculate whether by DHSC, UK-HSA or the NHS/IPC “droplet, not airborne” dogmatists. www.tridenthse.co.uk/2025_03_18_L... 1/11

goodmenproject.com/featured-con... Read and weep. The failure to recognise airborne transmission of C-19 has impacted every corner of our society and lives. When will @ukhsa.bsky.social wake up?

💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥 💥 💥 CATA's Closing Statement published 💥 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥 Baroness Hallett has now published our closing statement, summing up CATA's position at the end of module 3. 40 pages but hope you find it a good read. Addresses many legal issues. covid19.public-inquiry.uk/documents/in...
