1. I read a study that hinted at this over a year ago. Although the overall individual risk seems to be small, there will be impacts at the population level. The effects of pathogens are an inconvenient truth for MAHA.

A government that chose not to look at scientific evidence or be concerned that a novel virus that was killing people might also harm children.
Gavin Williamson assessment on “obstacles” to kids returning to schools in January 2021 - I didn’t think it was justified - Covid wasn’t going to have an impact on children’s health - we had good understanding on which were vulnerable to covid. #LongCovidKids #CovidInquiry

Violet Affleck crushes it again
“We are told by leaders that we are the future. But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.”

Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about the ongoing dangers of COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks and clean air at the UN today!

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!

Regarding the UK/US trade deal there is something called Country of Origin Labelling, which US negotiators are very angry about; they do not want safety warnings on their food products, which may put off potential UK customers from buying them.

I wonder if @niassembly.bsky.social or the Health Department are monitoring staff sick leave/early retirement/retention figures.

Perhaps FFP2 respirators should be mandated for staff to protect them and their patients.

Health and safety at work issue?

When people say they don’t know anyone with long COVID that’s not the case. We all know someone. Do you have friends with a lingering chronic cough? Pulmonary embolism? Heart problems? POTS? Fatigue they can’t shake, brain fog? 🧵

If SARS-2 was visible like smoke, no one would tolerate it. Clean air is not radical. It’s survival.
