I’ve done some more research and received this response from Novavax themselves. Bad news..but at least I know and can stop phoning and emailing pharmacies.

(Novavax is supposed to be the best covid vaccination for people with compromised immune systems).

Absolutely. And I wonder …

If the gastroenterologist, neurologist & immunologist ever talk to each other?

If a patient is ever fortunate enough to to see all three of them?

Interesting how other nations can be more generous.

Does look like the bill proposes an increase in UC for the standard allowance but a cut and a freeze in the health element, which is for sick&disabled people.
Make that make sense!? What a mess. It was such a shambles I wonder how many even knew for sure what they were voting for at the end.

And which ever way you look at it this graph doesn’t show anything ‘spiralling’
And even if it did…I want a government that cares and tries to help. Not one that starves its population.

For info, the organisation Transactual are asking people to please tell them if they are questioned, stopped or challenged using a single sex space. This will help their work and they can signpost to legal support.

And fortunately, we have law!

The Public Sector Equality Duty means that Councils have to do EDI work. Theres a general duty explained here & specific duties (like setting objectives & reporting). Things they must do. Sacking particular workers wouldn’t get rid of the legal duty to do the work.

I’m concerned about how Labour are treating immigrants (deportations, detention camps, no safe routes); trans people (health policy as well as the court ruling) & disabled people (brutal cuts to benefits).
Labour need to show leadership to stop fascism not collude with it. And break this cycle:

Interesting article!

Worth getting to the very end, when implications for the UK are summarised:

Starmer ‘reading the room’ again - for goodness sake. Please don’t offer Trump anything.

He already has too much: military bases in our country, surveillance of our people, and the promise of a royal welcome.

Don’t back the wrong side here. Don’t sell us out!

Yes this Daily Mail.. the one with a columnist calling for a Trump take over of the UK.

Wait, look at this group of very wealthy people called ‘The Patriotic Millionaires’. They are against the broligarchy and want to pay more tax and protect democracy. They are offering their expertise at this time:

There are many health conditions that are not proven with a single test. Drs use a process of elimination, checking for other causes, they take a history, they look at the pattern of symptoms. They have years of medical training. But you know best (?)

This is a classic socialist text. And these truly amazing women - the Rickard sisters - have converted it into a graphic novel!

Also been a lot of talking about spiralling welfare costs in the chats. When actually welfare spending has been pretty stable. Probably because they’ve been squeezing it so heavily. Thanks to funding the future for the bar graph. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/

There is no fraud for PIP. It’s rounded to zero percent, it’s sooo hard to claim and is a pitiful amount. There’s a lot of urban myths and hatred targeted at disabled people, also a lot of genuine misunderstanding given the many invisible disabilities.

Also the super rich aren’t being taxed much.
