The most disturbing part of Johnson’s hearing. In full display; his arrogance, idiocy and obsession with passing the blame to anyone but him. This is not about a simple Party; it’s about his consistent lies, directly misleading the public, and refusal to honestly own any mistake.

We didn't have parties to "boost morale" We didn't have quiz nights We didn't have champagne We watched our colleagues die though We were STEEPED in death We kept going We had to We kept on So don't you DARE say your parties were "necessary" @borisjohnson You make me sick.

I have to tell you @DonnellyStephen I would be *livid* if anyone I knew was in these hospital wards with a #covid19 outbreak, now that government dropped the universal #MaskMandate in healthcare. What in God's name is the plan?

👀Look here—Australian🇦🇺 COVID death data I trust because they don’t suppress data or limit testing as much as other places. 🇦🇺 May 2023 #COVID mortality to date is already 4x their 2020 and 3x their 2021 deaths. And flu deaths are low comparison, even their bad flu 2019 season.

If you can look at this chart of life expectancy falling on every continent on Earth and still convince yourself covid was overblown, that's your brain on coping mechanism mode

[Mortalité] En 2022, les #décès observés sont supérieurs aux décès attendus pour toutes les classes d’âge, avec une surmortalité qui varie de +4 % pour les 55-64 ans à +11 % pour les 75-84 ans. 5/5 👉 insee.fr/fr/statistique…

There are people in the UK who are catching Covid, dying within days, and Covid is not recorded on their death certificate even as a contributory factor to death. I know, because I'm taking their funerals. Why is this being deliberately concealed?

Yesterday’s announcement by this Govt about winter beds was really devious and dishonest. The message they were sending to the public was ‘we are investing in the NHS to prepare for Winter’ The reality was quite the opposite… 1/7

While this may be seen as improved access to vaccines, ultimately, those at highest risk are least likely to be able to access them privately - as usual government policies will exacerbate inequalities. These need to be freely available to all. theguardian.com/world/2023/aug…

This is looking like a variant that is not fizzling out. Everyone taking it very seriously (including WHO and national agencies around the world). Key thing is to get some data as soon as possible on its immune evasion and severity .
