NHS Consultant Doctor 🩺 Masking during an airborne pandemic & sharing research that may help you💛
In the last 48 hours evidence has been published showing Covid causes - brain damage including at your Brainstem (vital for most of your living functions including breathing & heart rate control) - increased risk of heart attacks, stroke & death for 3 years after infection 🧵


Are any of the hospital staff who have recently returned from their 3rd,4th,5th,6th,7th Covid infection finally wearing a mask when they are back on the wards (which still have patients with Covid infections)?
“Since Covid… Notable decline in just about everything… Can’t really explain it… …broken social contract” All the answers to this global riddle lie within the text
My wife accurately noted today that since COVID, there’s been a notable decline in just about everything. It’s subtle but it’s everywhere. Can’t even really explain it beyond the dead weight loss of wealth and vague hand waving about the broken social contract.
There’s Covid on a major ward. Are all the other patients on the ward tested? Are staff working there testing? Are staff working there wearing FFP3? FFP2? Surgical mask? Anything? Do we have HEPA? Are the windows open?
Covid isn’t a “you problem”, but that’s how the UK is managing it. A significant cause of death, illness & disability across society & its being completely ignored. Most people are complicit. In a way they are right. It will be your problem, it’s only a matter of time.
Tens of millions dead. Millions more bereaved. Hundreds of millions injured & disabled. And you pretend like Covid is no big deal? That infections can’t kill you or harm you permanently? Testing or wearing a mask is too much to ask for?
Weird huh? Wonder what it could be? 5 years you say?
I cannot be the only one who feels that over the past five years, the world's energy has completely shifted, and something weird is happening
Well done @N95Anaesthetist for remaining so calm as each of your myth busters were immediately met with another minimising statement, that in turn you went on to bust…good lessons for anyone who views Covid as a cold or a flu…
Thank you to @abcnews and @craigreucassel for having me on Sydney Breakfast Radio yesterday to dispel some common myths about COVID. 🧵1/5
Clearly our unions have zero thoughts about Covid vaccines not being made available to NHS staff this autumn. Unions. What are they good for? ….
@TheBMA @theRCN any thoughts?
