Covid infection is far more likely to give you health issues

Given COVID is a bigger risk, why aren’t you talking about that @YvetteCooperMP?
Why is eligibility for a COVID vaccine more restrictive than flu?
Also, why aren’t wearing masks recommended when getting your jabs….bearing in mind flu and COVID are airborne?
.@YvetteCooperMP explains why it's important to get the free NHS flu vaccination if you're eligible.
The vaccine is offered to people at higher risk of becoming seriously ill from flu.
Check your eligibility and book online or through the NHS App: nhs.uk/vaccinations/flu-vacc…

Are you aware of this 👇 @DrRosena?
Covid-19 infections can reactivate dormant cancer cells, & trigger the growth of secondary cancers. There is now compelling medical evidence to this effect.
Read the full story on our website: buds.org.uk/covid-and-cancer…

LOL.
“…flu is stable at baseline levels & COVID-19 is at low levels”
Flu is at 6.3% and COVID is at 8.9% but COVID is considered to be at a “low” level 🤔
Once again, the UKHSA have given priority to the flu graph.
I would call them incompetent but it’s probably deliberate.
📊 This week's #UKHSAVirusWatch graphs show flu is stable at baseline levels & COVID-19 is at low levels.
🟢Flu positivity remained stable at 6.3%, compared with 6.2% the previous week.

Following a decline after the winter peak, positivity remained low through spring and summer before increasing in recent weeks. The latest trend shows flu positivity remaining broadly stable.

As Beth says, ME is a post viral illness and cases will continue to increase because of the ongoing COVID pandemic.
As will cases of long COVID.
Yet our public health authorities aren’t warning the public or reducing our risk of infection.
We’ve been blown away by the response to my interview with @BBCSport & @KatieFalkingham , thank you so much to everyone who has taken the time to read and engage with it ❤️ millions of views across multiple platforms really is immense.
We have since written to @andyburnham , calling on the @UKLabour government to fund research into this horrific illness. I know there’s so much more we could say, but with limited capacity, we’ve tried to focus on the lack of funding, resources in the NHS and how much it’s actually costing the government.
As you can see on the slides, it has been drastically underfunded compared to other illnesses and it is currently costing the UK Government far more than it would cost to fund research. ME is most often a post-viral illness. Therefore, since the start of the Covid pandemic, we’ve seen cases increase drastically and they will continue to increase. We need funding into research urgently. With estimates of people with ME being around 1.35 million, this is a lot of lives destroyed.
I’ve had thousands of messages on multiple platforms since sharing my story so please bear with me ❤️
Thanks to @ThereForME_UK and @wecrunchme for the stats.

I bet this wasn’t mentioned on the Laura Kuennsberg show as one of the reasons for pressure on the NHS, was it?
Roger Hopkin #CeaseFire#Gaza #GeneralElectionNow retweeted
So why not highlight the COVID-19 graph first then, @UKHSA?
Roger Hopkin #CeaseFire#Gaza #GeneralElectionNow retweeted
The Covid pandemic isn't over. People are still being infected, get sick and hospitalized. They can die and develop Long Covid

It's true.
It was true.
It is true.
And it will remain true.
Covid reinfects.
Covid kills.
Covid disables.
The Covid pandemic isn't over. People are still being infected, get sick and hospitalized. They can die and develop Long Covid

You should’ve highlighted the COVID-19 graph first @UKHSA.
It’s totally obvious you’ll do anything to downplay COVID-19.
🆕📊 The first #UKHSAVirusWatch graphs of the season are here, showing both flu & COVID-19 increasing, with possible signs of an early flu season.
🟢 Flu positivity rose to 6.5%, up from 5.0% the previous week

This is what the Green Party should be talking about….
We could reduce all airborne diseases now with clean air in schools.
We’d also be one step ahead of the next pandemic.
In my opinion, this, together with better infection control in hospitals, should be @TheGreenParty’s number one priority for 2026 @ZackPolanski
