Our thanks to the Ulster Herald for covering Monday's @VIBS_NI event at Stormont and their continued support in getting these stories out to the print media.
Tweet of the week ! With 49k views. A massive thank you to all who attended this very successful event on Monday and all who continue to support the vaccine injured and bereaved community. To those who are injured or have lost someone, please know you are not alone.
@paulfrewDUP@MMcIlveenDUP@moneillsf [3/3] The day had a huge impact with many MLAs attending throughout the day. Unfortunately, the seat of Health Minister remained empty, but we have a meeting with @mikenesbittni on 31 October. A full film of the day will be posted at our website in due course.
You are not alone.
[1/3] We would like to take a moment to thank everyone who made Monday's @VIBS_NI awareness event in the Long Gallery, Stormont, such a success. We especially recognize our vaccine injured and bereaved community for speaking out with bravery. Not to mention our advocates...
[2/3] ... @paulfrewDUP, the media team, volunteers and everyone who attended. A big thank you to @MMcIlveenDUP for co-sponsoring, along with First Minister @moneillsf. A year of perseverance after Sinn Féin and SDLP blocked the event, with UUP and Alliance showing no interest.
A tremendous crowd attending Long Gallery event in Parliament Building for the vaccine Injured & bereaved community organised by @VIBS_NI we had to call for more chairs, I have never seen a crowd like it in the long gallery. A big thank you for all who attended. You are not alone
Link the MLAs in your area into this post and ask them to attend this @VIBS_NI event from 2-30 onwards to hear from people impacted all over Northern Ireland and further afield
Larry will speak at an event today in Stormont for vaccine injured & bereaved. An event that for nearly a year was blocked from happening by SF & SDLP and ignored by UUP & Alliance. Why? Because they coerced people to take the vaccine. The truth has had a rough time past 4 years
[2/2] We previously attempted to contact @mikenesbittni as recently as 10 October. His colleagues at the Health Protection Legislation Branch (DOH) have also been invited. Many issues will be raised: pathways to care, the VDPS payment scheme, and the proposed Public Health Bill.
[1/2] We can confirm that the Health Minister @mikenesbittni will meet with @VIBS_NI on 31 October. It is disappointing that he won't be at Monday's awareness event at Parliament Buildings, Stormont, but we will be sure to keep his seat for him.
.@VIBS_NI are excited to hold our awareness event on Monday 14th October in the Long Gallery, Stormont.
As a group of volunteers with no funding, we need a very kind sponsor to help with catering costs. If you could help with this important event, please get in touch. Thank you.
This afternoon, @VIBS_NI representatives met with the Health Protection Branch on the implications of the proposals set out in the proposed Public Health Bill for Northern Ireland. [1/3]
We had an honest and open discussion on many aspects of the proposed Bill, and we put across many concerns in relation to the proposals - including mandatory vaccinations and medical treatments. [2/3]
Update: @VIBS_NI are grateful that Mike Nesbitt, NI's Minister of Health, will take up our offer of a meeting. We hope this can take place ahead of our awareness event in the Long Gallery, Parliament Buildings on the 14th October.
