It is great to see that someone is raising airborne protections for healthcare and schools in parliament.
Thank you @nataliegreenpeer.bsky.social !

Good ventilation and air filtration are critical tools in preventing respiratory infections.
The Government must assess current standards in hospitals and schools — and act where they fall short.

“We cannot talk about COVID in the past tense.
“It’s still with us, it still causes acute disease and Long COVID, and it still kills.
“The world might want to forget about COVID-19, but we cannot afford to.”

My personal view is it’s all political. Trump called for a WHO exit so Labour have ignored the guidance since they were elected. See guidance in place from 2024 below for long covid. 🧵
Why doesn't the UK adopt a precautionary approach, as recommended by the WHO, rather than risking the health of millions?
Protection should relate to risk!
Vaccines must be made available for all Clinically Vulnerable people.

Either our media has amnesia or they’re just plain complicit in their elevation of Reform. Have they forgotten what happened with our last two populist right wing prime ministers? The chaos of Johnson. The disaster of Truss (praised by Farage). This lack of reporting is a menace

NSF is about to dismantle NCAR at Russell Vought's direction to protect the fossil fuel industry. It's hard to communicate just how much NCAR does, so let's take a look: I've never worked at NCAR, and I've worked with NCAR researchers once ever. What scientific discoveries has NCAR made possible? 👇

1) That "climate alarmasm" Vought ignorantly talks about is a bit more important than he knows. As a retired Air Traffic Controller, two of the most dangerous things pilots face are clear icing and clear air turbulence. What is the significance of those two things?

The Trump regime wants to dismantle a world leading climate research center. Why? Because the US has become a petrostate where the government has been captured by fossil fuel interests.
They’re calling climate science “green new scam research”, in full denial of reality. 🤯
