And despite having had a minister for LongCovid (has he even been replaced?) the vax offer from Labour for this winter is minimal. 65-75 now will have to buy a vax if they want one. Care home workers won’t even get one to protect them from LongCovid. Nothing for kids unless immunosuppressed.

Yet they admit “COVID-19 spreads more easily in winter because we spend more time indoors with others.” And who spends most time in busy classrooms? Or in nursing/residential homes? Our kids & care workers. Our vax offer is worse than USA’s under Trump. ukhsa.blog.gov.uk/2025/06/26/w...

And why do they admit vax protection wanes but not offer it to those who’ve not had one for years? Or admit that immunity from previous infections also wanes, if it even existed.

There is only fleeting immunity. Fauci said this ages ago.

Extract from interview with Fauci and he’s right

immunity with respect to COVID, I mean, how do we think of it? ASF I wrote a paper on that. It was a simple paper (2). It stated that we cannot apply the standard criteria of herd immunity. It's not applicable with SARS-CoV-2. And the reason is, it's simple. I can synopsize the paper in 30 seconds. One is that herd immunity is dependent on an immune response that is durable, measured in decades to a lifetime, and a pathogen that does not change. So, you have clear-cut herd immunity with measles. Why? The measles that I got infected with as a child, because I was born before the measles vaccine, is the same measles that's killing kids in the developing world today. Number 2, if you get infected with measles or you get vaccinated with measles, the duration of protection minimally is decades and maximally is lifetime. Those are the criteria that you need for herd immunity. Because if you have a pathogen that keeps changing like the multiple variants of SARS, and if you have a duration of immunity that's measured in months,

It really is. It doesn’t even make sense. There’s a far bigger offer on flu this year than Covid yet isn’t Covid more dangerous? Many studies say it is. And most don’t test for it anymore or wear masks. www.gov.uk/government/p... pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39154585/

It’s not even all immunosuppressed. Most who shielded aren’t getting one. How conditions like chronic copd aren’t covered is ridiculous.
