A short survey for all UK asthmatics regarding their vaccine experience - if you have asthma please complete this to give us a picture of whether asthmatics are getting the coronavirus vaccine and how. https://t.co/LeKyqUzXXV

Shocking response from an MP @JHowellUK when your constituent seeks your support for a serious health issue. Showing your true colours.

Raising money in aid of the Asthma & Allergy Foundation who are fighting for asthmatics to be reinstated to a priority group. https://t.co/Z0vIqYYzhC

[R4ch3l @R4ch3l9]

@greeneyes_uk Yeh thanks for that. This'll be the study that shows asthmatics are 3 times more likely to be hospitalised with covid than non-asthmatics their age. We all know this. Now we need action to protect us. Not finger pointing by the medical profession.

[R4ch3l @R4ch3l9]

@suzyturquoise @greeneyes_uk "fairly well known" is not scientific and is utterly meaningless in the face of needing to make decisions which might save someone's life. I think people who wear glasses are less likely to wear masks so probably should get to the back of the vaccine queue. No? Don't like that?

[R4ch3l @R4ch3l9]

@greeneyes_uk what is it with the asthmatic-bashing??

[R4ch3l @R4ch3l9]

@bigcatdoc @ginasthma @PCRSUK @IPCRG @AsthmaAustralia @AsthmaCanada @ErsNurses @BTSrespiratory @asthmauk @atscommunity That study also found that in the 16-49 age group asthmatics were hospitalised at almost 3 times the rate that they appear in the population. 20.9% of patients had asthma but asthmatics are 7% of the population. Isn't that also a signifiant headline? #asthmaticsatrisk

[R4ch3l @R4ch3l9]

@AliBettenson hahahahah!! Love it! Let's see if we can get money off for a bulk purchase! There's what? 4 million asthmatics in the UK, of whom it looks like about 1.8 million are no longer in a priority group. #FluJabEqualsCovidJab #asthmaticsatrisk

[R4ch3l @R4ch3l9]

How's your breathing everyone? Your Covid cape will protect you! #asthmaticsatrisk #flujabequalscovidjab

[R4ch3l @R4ch3l9]

This is being overlooked. #FluJabEqualsCovidJab

What the
@LancetRespirMed
had to say in their most recent study. (A thread.)

“Patients with asthma were significantly more likely than those without asthma to receive critical care.” #FluJabEqualsCovidJab

[R4ch3l @R4ch3l9]

@Jo_Frost @asthmauk @lunguk Your support is so appreciated #FluJabEqualsCovidJab #asthmaticsatrisk

[Steff @SteffanyMR]

@JeaneF1MSP Please urgently reconsider the removal of most #AsthmaticsAtRisk from the Covid vaccine priority groups. Increasingly science supports our greater risk of severe Covid complications, like this from The Lancet this week. #FluJabEqualsCovidJab

[R4ch3l @R4ch3l9]

Yeh @CambsClare these asthmatics are so easily confused #FluJabEqualsCovidJab

[Clare @CambsClare]

@DryRoastPeanuts @JemmaDenson @R4ch3l9 @asthmauk If I was just less confused I'm sure my covid risk would be minimal 🤔 #asthmaticsatrisk #FluJabEqualsCovidJab

[R4ch3l @R4ch3l9]

But don't protect the asthmatics. Never mind about them. #asthmaticsatrisk #FluJabEqualsCovidJab

[GOV.UK @GOVUK]

Every day at home is making a difference to stop the spread of Covid-19

[R4ch3l @R4ch3l9]

Simple solution that saves us from serious illness #FluJabEqualsCovidJab #asthmaticsatrisk

[BeeladyEllie💙 @Beelady10]

NI & many other countries are taking a medically sound approach by vaccinating all asthmatics. The UK needs to do the same to protect the clinically vulnerable #asthmaticsatrisk #FluJabEqualsCovidJab @PHE_uk @NHSuk @nadhimzahawi @BethRigby @aaf_info @MattHancock @ImperialInfect

[R4ch3l @R4ch3l9]

Still true. #FluJabEqualsCovidJab #asthmaticsatrisk

[BeeladyEllie💙 @Beelady10]

Asthmatics have not been dying 'enough' which is justification for our removal from Group 6.Yet:
•we've been shielding
•are more at risk of long covid
•more at risk of hospitalisation
•our meds suppress our immune response #asthmaticsatrisk #vaccinesforasthmatics @NHSuk

[R4ch3l @R4ch3l9]

@asthmauk Sarah Woolnaugh, how's your 'calling' going? Anyone answered yet? Come on, we need action not platitudes! #FluJabEqualsCovidJab #asthmaticsatrisk

[R4ch3l @R4ch3l9]

Yeh @asthmauk, we're all feeling a bit concerned and probably need a bit of guidance with our inhalers, not a vaccination against a respiratory disease or anything #FluJabEqualsCovidJab #asthmaticsatrisk

[R4ch3l @R4ch3l9]

@jo_woods11 @vicky_lord Shouldn't this be aimed at @asthmauk ?
