Awesome work .. ❤️

Sarah @sar-corbyn.bsky.social · 18/12/2024

I watched nearly all of your briefings and found them invaluable. My question, that I had messaged in, was answered on the first briefing and I was so grateful for your empathetic responses.

Proof that we DO need experts! 👍🏻

This person loves you guys. You kept her sane at a time when she was alone and very frightened.

Dr Lia Betti @liabetti.bsky.social · 18/12/2024

You did a fantastic job! By bringing in multiple experts, proving weekly updates on data, and answering questions from the public, you really helped people make sense of what was happening and what strategies they could use to keep themselves and others safe. Thank you.

Steve Parks @steveparks.me · 18/12/2024

And thankyou so so much for doing it. I found it to be a fantastic source of information, and relied on it to make decisions during the key phases of the pandemic. You brought trust and openness back, which politicians had drained from SAGE. Merry Christmas to you all.

You were brilliant thank you so very much. I went down with Covid in March 2020 and never fully recovered so it was good to know that people were working hard to help us. XxJoanXx

Dr Jobeth @drjobeth68.bsky.social · 19/12/2024

It was a real breakthrough in direct communication at a time when political/media gaslighting was rife. So very valuable. I think there's still a need for it as any mention of Covid/Long Covid seems to have been wiped out altogether. So very dangerous & short sighted. Ppl need information/awareness.

I followed your briefings and always felt one step ahead of the game and better able to prepare. Thanks to all of you.

You helped us manage our family with two elderly relatives during a difficult time, we should have said this before, thank you.

I watched almost all of them, excellent work much appreciated. The government and many others could learn a lot from what IndySage achieved.

David Frew @drvon2.bsky.social · 18/12/2024

THANK YOU ALL ! Independent SAGE was a godsend for the UK during the pandemic. I trusted your briefing, but had less and less trust in the Government response as time went on. If I remember correctly, it was only your estimates of at least 250k deaths that persuaded the Govt not to 'let it rip'.

Thank you & your colleagues for all your hard work, and for cutting through the gaslighting and misinformation, and explaining science, difficult concepts, stats, etc, with such clarity. Forever grateful to you. Let's hope H5N1 doesn't force a reunion.😬

Ivanskavinsky @ivanskavinsky.bsky.social · 18/12/2024

And all of your work was invaluable to us forced back into work, pre vaccine. It gave us the information required to try and keep ourselves safe, when government 💩the bed! Beyond grateful for everything you did🙏
