Something else that I have learned and I guess it was always naive to think otherwise but justice is for the rich.

Progress is great but where is the acknowledgment of what many went through.

Apart from the initial few months many of us had zero support from our unions and lost our jobs. That’s what really happened and children and staff died. People are still dying and I am really annoyed that this is not being verbally acknowledged. People really screwed up.

We are not at the point where vaccines are enough alone. Infections carry serious health risks so it’s a poor situation all round.

Esther @elhopkins.bsky.social · 18h

The vaccines were designed to prevent severity of disease not prevent infection. That sounds painful but surely down to the person who administered the vaccine. In order to keep up protection we need several vaccines a year, plus layered mitigations .

Yes am aware that the situation there is also a mess. I just wish we had a statement from the health minister here.

Everyone should read this from the German Health minister in 2023! Then ask why the British Public haven’t had this messaging?

We really need journalists challenging on post infection risks now. Never has it been needed more.

Statement from Prof. Karl Lauterbach from 2023, clearly outlines that covid causes brain inflammation. Nothing from Labour on these mental health problems. So many studies also. 🙏
