Module 7 of the UK Covid-19 Inquiry begins on Monday. It will focus on one of the government’s most disastrous failures: Test, Trace, and Isolate. This isn’t just about mistakes. It’s about warnings ignored, experts shut out, and decisions that cost lives. 1/5

The facts are damning: – British scientists offered testing capacity in Feb 2020, but were ignored. – Local health leaders were frozen out. – Consultants without the needed expertise were put in charge of testing labs. – Asymptomatic spread was known, but dismissed. 3/5

To be fair there wasn’t too much about the suffering of the Islanders either - many of whom endured terrible Nazi oppression. Not much about their - successful - efforts to evacuate children either. We must keep the focus on NAZI oppression.

Today, the UK Covid-19 Inquiry heard how Boris Johnson lied to the British public about the UK's ability to Test & Trace. Those in power knew that a lack of planning and underinvestment had left the country unprepared, and they tried to cover it up. Our loved ones paid the price.

"It no longer exists" The UK Covid-19 Inquiry heard evidence this week that the testing infrastructure built up in 2020 has been completely dismantled. Prof. Alan McNally: "If Sars 3 happens in December we will be exactly where we were in January 2020" An insult to those we lost.

Heartbreaking evidence at the UK Covid-19 Inquiry this morning. The government delayed adding loss of smell & taste to list of symptoms because data 'came from an app'. Prof. Timothy Spector says this 'undoubtedly' led to preventable transmission. Criminal negligence.

#Covid enquiry- track and trace - what went wrong . If you have a spare 80 minutes- this is my evidence to module 7 about the ZOE/Kings app and how it could have saved many more lives as well as billions of Ā£ .Traumatic to recall it all again ! šŸ™ youtu.be/otCHSqF7MIE?si…

Not surprising given the link between Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and Multiple sclerosis (MS) and the much reported reactivation of EBV in people with #LongCovid. Highlights, once again, the need for anti-EBV interventions.

Thanks John Ely for raising awareness about measles virus. Myself, Lawrence Young and Simon Clarke quoted. Please, for the love of toast, get vaccinated. Also, remember, many of us are too, um, distinguished, to have had MMR pre school😜 dailymail.co.uk/health/article…

85 years ago today, the first deportation of Polish prisoners to Auschwitz took place. This would be the first of many transports of Poles to the Auschwitz camp. Approximately 75,000 of them died there.

I think when you said you had thrown a ā€œprotective ringā€ around carehomes that the general public would have believed that friends and relatives in carehomes were being kept safe. Instead 40% of the 48K who died in the first wave were in carehomes.

This is so tragic - measles A vaccine uptake of 75% is 20% lower than recommended. More children will Be hospitalised and potentially die if coverage remains low. Vaccine hesitancy based on misinformation is contributing to this - esp in deprived and minority communities
