At an annual cost to the UK of £100 billion a year obesity is clearly a crippling issue collectively and individually.

However a government strategy which heralds “apps and new technology” and “weight loss jabs such as Wegovy” as silver bullets is woefully misguided.

One of the biggest collective worries in emergency planning right now is that if we ever need to warn the public of anything again we will have absolutely no traction to do so because of both posts like this coupled with a lack of trust in WHO

We don't need a WHO pandemic treaty.

As someone who was (emphasis on was) deeply involved with the WHO, my view is that this is a terrible idea.

Share ideas, best practice and supplies - we don't need a treaty to force us to do so.

1 in 5 children is 'persistently absent' from school (missing 10% or more). Our briefing with Children & Young People's Mental Health Coalition shows that school absence has risen at the same time as increasing mental health problems, child poverty and waits for support: centreformentalhealth.org.uk/news/item/poor…

Professor Carl Heneghan tells Julia Hartley-Brewer that people don't want to be told what to do, after the World Health Organisation dropped plans to control emergencies.

SPI-B supported fear messaging in the covid pandemic. This is inconsistent with the psychological literature and contrary to disaster planning literature. Fear messaging may have had harmful ramifications and impacts, especially for young people onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/cp…

Did lockdowns in India work?

“On lockdowns there is complete silence – the silence is overwhelming.”

“Even the question is not perceived – did lockdowns work? We simply don’t know. Is there on-going research that can track this? There isn’t.”

Depriving young boys of what they love, trapping them inside, starving them of social contact?

We don't need academic studies to outline the horrendous effect that lockdown had on millions of children.
