The WHO Director of Epidemic & Pandemic Preparedness & Prevention asks us what we would do differently at the next global pandemic. Any thoughts? Here's my starter for ten...

Absolutely disgraceful Lisa Ritchie You were never going to mandate FFP3 masks, no matter the evidence. Higher death rates in staff in surgical masks? Bah. Ignorance, arrogance and wilful blindness. How many deaths and people disabled with long covid could have you caused?

"Key driver of excess mortality is the lingering impact of COVID-19; both as a direct cause of death, and as a contributor to cardiovascular mortality" swissre.com/press-release/…

“It's hard to imagine a more dangerous case of fraud than privately believing the pandemic likely resulted from a preventable human accident, but then publishing the opposite conclusion and sabotaging investigations. I fear the long-term damage to trust in science will be

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I genuinely think that if you properly clean the air in schools and hospitals, you have a good chance of shutting down covid transmission enough to tip the balance into stopping it altogether. Public transport, prisons, shelters,

Seriously. If we stopped infection in schools and hospitals, it would break most of the existing chains. And then we could break the rest.

No patient should be exposed in healthcare settings. We shouldn’t have to rely on luck to avoid AIRBORNE illnesses transmitted through shared air.

Quite staggering that they can write in the report about the two million people here with Long Covid, acknowledging that it exists, and NOT write about preventing covid infections which ARE STILL CAUSING NEW CASES OF LONG COVID as proven by the other reports you cite. Staggering.

If Farrar genuinely believed in the mission of WHO, he would resign so they can begin to rebuild trust. WHO bleeds trust each day he remains. There must be accountability for his dangerous fraud that successfully blocked legitimate investigations into C19 origins.

She’s just been completely caught out by the Lawyers. Enough lies now. Just stop this ✋🛑. Too many deaths. Too much disability, ongoing disability & deaths due to doubling down lie that Covid isn’t airborne. She knows it is. Yet has chosen to cover her backside rather than 1/

• With TB, healthcare workers wear respiratory protection. Why not also for COVID-19? • “…TB is airborne. For COVID-19 the predominant mode of spread is droplet and contact.” • Is that still your position?? • “That’s my position” Head IPC NHS England, anno 2024. 🤷‍♂️

Professor Edward Holmes: "Bottom line is that the Wuhan virus is beautifully adapted to human transmission but we we have no trace of that evolutionary history in nature."

This makes for grim & chilling viewing, esp if you lost a loved one to #COVID or they/you are affected by #LongCovid. HCWs were/are repeatedly sent into high risk work environments essentially UNPROTECTED, bc of decisions made by Dr Ritchie et al. Unforgivable #WilfulNegligence

Case studies in deception and lying. Dr Richie RN OBE says it was SARS1 guiding the UK but not to believe her paper that said it was able to be spread by the AIRBORNE route. Horrible liar! Needs to understand how not to get caught out. Not going to get a job at WHO. Tedros

Too many doctors have failed to grasp that covid tore up the rules and rewrote the textbooks. Things are not the same now. They need to wise up fast.

Over the last 2 days at UK Covid-19 Inquiry the NHS has shown its dark & ugly side There was never going to be an apology from IPC guidance authors whose guidance drove disproportionately high rates of death & COVID19 in non-ICU HCWs & huge rates of nosocomial SARS2, but… /1

“We need to guard against lowering our standards for normalcy. When we mentally and emotionally recalibrate to the new normal, we also disassociate from our own humanity. We need to demand that our leaders give the full truth and hold them to account. We must stand up for

It's amazing how common it is for IPC leaders to form an opinion once and then cling to it forever, no matter how inconsistent with reality. Presumably something to do with how they are selected, and incentives to never admit to making a mistake.
