So! Either a miracle happened during the last year, & asthmatics suddenly got better - OR #asthmaticsatrisk followed Gov & NHS advice + personal discretion & shielded/isolated/withdrew from the world to avoid catching covid, effectively avoiding triggers & bugs @BorisJohnson 1/2 https://twitter.com/ThoraxBMJ/status/1379848398812102659
This in turn created a misleading vision of people with chronic respiratory issues being less at risk because fewer caught it/died of it.
It doesnt take a rocket scientist to recognise this - so why does @UKParliament @DHSCgovuk et al refuse to re evaluate Gp6 criteria? 2/3
Why are the press @itvnews @SkyNews @BBCNews @Independent @DailyMailUK so disinterested in this error of judgement? Why are the other parties not insisting on review in parliament @UKLabour @LibDems @TheGreenParty why are local MPs sending blanket statements @AWMurrison 3/4
Why are CCG's not singing from the same song sheet @NHSBSWCCG & allowing self certification? Why are GPs not using more discretion or having direct conversations with #asthmaticsatrisk
Why is the #jcvi not forthcoming with evidence to back up their advice on vulnerability?
