Yesterday marked the 1st day of UK COVID19 Inquiry Module 5 So what? Well, we now have access to opening statements from core participants, like this, from saints at @bma.org.uk Thanks to such CPs, ‘everything that is secret will be made known’ 🙏🏻 covid19.public-inquiry.uk/documents/in...
Bible passage from Luke quoting the words of Jesus, making it clear that there is no hiding from misdeeds: we will all have to answer for our sin, even that conducted ‘in secret’ 

Amazingly, Jesus’ mercy and love know no limits, so all can be forgiven, no matter how bad they think they’ve been!

May The Lord have mercy on all scientists who acted in sin during the pandemic, through denying reality in order to conceal a lack of pandemic planning, or failing to speak up against scientific untruth

Team #CATA saints at the National Covid Memorial Wall Heroes forever 🙏🏻 28th Nov 2024
Members of CATA pictured against the sunlit hearts of the national covid memorial wall

Every heart represents a life lost, thanks to plans devised by hubristic scientists blind to the life saving policy actions of overseas experts, and intent on gaslighting the population into believing their lies & empirical truth suppression 

SARS2 was always was known to be airborne, asymptomatic transmission (& proof of early peak viral titres) was identified in Jan 2020, & better ventilation masks for source control were mechanistically bound to help reduce transmission

But thanks to the efforts of CATA and others, we see you - we know you for what you are

You had one chance and you lied: how’s that working for you?

Email of thanks to CATA: final day UK COVID19 public inquiry M3 ‘On behalf of all voiceless, powerless HCWs - THANK YOU I reckon it will be impossible to gaslight a future generation of workers that respiratory viruses are anything other than routinely airborne transmitted’ ❤️🙏🏻 #COVIDisAirborne
Dear team
I would just like to echo all the positive comments of others
On behalf of all voiceless, powerless HCWs - THANK YOU
You have done an amazing job - I am so proud of you and the cause we’ve been working on
There can be no doubt that we have had a huge impact
And even if we don’t see as many of the safety changes we’d like in the NHS, I reckon it will be impossible to gaslight a future generation of workers that respiratory viruses are anything other than routinely airborne transmitted 
Many many thanks and much love to all

It is however nuts that for literally the most predictable NHS crisis we still rely on the luck of the disease draw (and the weather) every winter. @paulmainwood.bsky.social put it brilliantly a few weeks ago in his substack (which I recommend). 5/6
this screenshot says:
"Every year in England and Wales, a cynic1 might describe a process like this:

Around spring, the incumbent government / devolved government promises that they are working hard to fix NHS capacity before next winter.

In summer, the relevant NHS bodies warn that nothing meaningful is happening on the ground and/or everything’s much worse, and they are in no way ready for the winter.

Through October and November we watch nervously as ripples of seasonal respiratory infections (e.g., RSV, flu and now COVID) grow into waves. The NHS know what’s coming and try vaccinate as many of the old, young and vulnerable as possible.

As winter progresses, wards fill up with patients, so A&E is unable to admit patients to the hospital, so A&E fills up, so ambulances are unable to transfer patients safely to A&E, and queue at the front door, and are unable to respond to new calls. Patients suffering from heart attacks and strokes wait hours for help, and incur enormous harms - enough to show up in excess death indicators.

In late December or early January, the waves of RSV, flu and COVID peak. If they all are high and peak at the same time, you get the winter of 2022 - average response time to stroke/heart attack symptoms of 1 hour 32 minutes. If, by luck, the peaks of infection are lower, or offset, you get the winter of 2023 - average response time 45 minutes. The target response time is 18 minutes.

The waves recede in January and February, the NHS cares for the survivors and we bury the dead.

Go to 1.
