A right-wing broadcaster is likely to escape police action despite describing young disabled people on out-of-work benefits as “parasites”, in a case that highlights long-standing concerns about inequality for disabled people in hate crime law. buff.ly/3AJ28HI

Trump victory disaster on all conceivable levels. From public health standpoint, threat to ban vaccines is terrifying. Luckily, bird flu not spreading with massive cattle reservoirs in the US - oh wait a minute... 😔

As you vote, consider what’s at risk for public health. For the well-being of our nation, the safety of our loved ones & the security of future generations, we must reject Donald Trump & ANY candidate who threatens to undermine public health. nytimes.com/2024/10/10/opi… @nytimes

Great article. @DavidJoffe64 quote, "please do not psychologise ME/CFS or Long Covid...this is a direct organic, neurological condition, with a plethora of complex outcomes, including severe consequences for autonomy and quality of life." 1/6 bps.org.uk/psychologist/w…

As a scholar of international law, I endorse @howserob assessment: Israel is “killing for the hell of it, slaughtering children for a lark [demonstrating] an extreme moral baseness not fully captured even by the legal language of genocide.”

“The impunity that has been granted to the state of Israel for 76 years.” Israel’s war on the @UN is maniacal. They’ve destroyed more than 70% of UN structures in Gaza and killed more than 200 UN workers. It’s long past due for member states. Invoke Article 6. #UNseatIsrael

In eleven days, it will be a year since JCVI (FINALLY!⏳️) recommended that childhood vaccinations should include Varicella Zoster virus (VZV), the cause of chickenpox and, in later life, shingles. However, this has yet to materialise 🤬💔🤦‍♂️ @UKHSA? gov.uk/government/pub…

Regardless if pig was backyard pet or headed to market, it’s huge concern to see #H5N1 in pigs, esp timed w/ ⬆️ prevalence of human seasonal flu viruses & unprecedented levels of #H5N1 in mammalian species across U.S. Critical to advance pandemic preparedness plans now.…

Great video from @MattMcGorry about the devastating impacts of Long COVID and how even a “mild” infection can leave you chronically ill. He also says he was hesitant to speak out - because there IS a stigma associated with Long COVID. We must change that /1

The ICJ ruling highlighted “plausible” risk of genocide in Gaza from Israel's actions. In the Commons today, the Foreign Secretary shamefully claimed using the term "genocide" to describe the deaths of over 100,000 Palestinians undermines its seriousness. History will remember.

Hey @BTP why is your car parked in a clearly marked disabled spot at @uclh hospital? It's been here for six hours, and your officers seem to think the law doesn't apply to them.

@00SarahBear00 @CovidSolidarit1 Hi Sarah 👋. I run a long Covid medical clinic. Been seeing LC patients since mid 2020 before it had a name.The stories are absolutely heartbreaking. And generally have a common theme. So many young previously fit & healthy people who are severely disabled now, often bedridden 1/

If only schools had Covid policies like they have at the Covid Inquiry… 🔹symptomatic testing required 🔹ventilation delivering 8 air changes/hour 🔹4 HEPA filters 🔹CO2 monitoring Perhaps then we wouldn’t have such a constant barrage of illness. 😢 covid19.public-inquiry.uk/wp-content/upl…

This is absolute madness. Carbon capture and storage has failed time and again. Labour has slashed reliable green programmes, to pour vast sums of our money into a complete crock. The only possible explanation is lobbying by fossil fuel companies.🧵 theguardian.com/environment/20…
