J. Craig Venter, genomics pioneer and founder of JCVI, dies at 79

So JVCI are now recommending that from now on, #Covid19 vaccines should be limited to those over 75, care home residents, and people who are immunosuppressed.
The government claims to be worried about the number of people not working because they're on long term sick leave, and yet they don't seem keen to take even the most basic precautions to keep us safe from a disease that can make us long-term sick.
Absolutely bonkers.

Professor Christina Pagel’s latest update on the UK’s entirely capable and resilient 2024 Covid vaccination planning:
“JCVI relies on bespoke modelling for its recommendations for booster rollout but the main model was coded in Python and they had to stop using it because the staff member that knew Python had left.”

#AdultsSeasonalBoosters
In Ireland: 'adults will be offered a booster dose if age 50 or older', @HSELive
In the UK, #JCVI advises
'adults age 75 years and over, be offered a COVID-19 vaccine this spring.' @UKHSA
Defies evidence-based reasoning?
Is potentially discriminatory?@age_uk -
#AdultsSeasonalBoosters
So, @UKHSA, in Ireland:
'adults will be offered a booster dose if: aged 50 or older', @HSELiveBut in the UK, #JCVI advises
'adults aged 75 years and over, be offered a COVID-19 vaccine this spring.'
Defies evidence-based reasoning?

Cost/benefit analysis failure:
"The JCVI’s statement indicates that it considers there is too much uncertainty regarding the significance of post-Covid syndromes – and these were not factored into the cost-benefit analysis."
!!!
You don't know an exact amount, so you just skip thinking about it at all?
Post-covid disability could well be the biggest cost! At least make an estimate of what it _might_ be!

It was announced today the #UK is bringing forward their Autumn #COVID #vaccine program given the fast emergence of BA.2.86. Can a #doctor tell me why #longcovid patients are not mentioned *anywhere* in the list of vulnerable people, incl. by #JCVI or the Green Book, therefore *not* qualifying for autumn/winter #booster? https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-autumn-2023-vaccination-programme-jcvi-update-7-july-2023/jcvi-statement-on-the-covid-19-vaccination-programme-for-autumn-2023-update-7-july-2023 . Isn't there pretty solid research about the worsening long covid symptoms with multiple #reinfections? https://www.webmd.com/covid/news/20221219/long-covid-risk-makes-it-worth-avoiding-second-infections @luckytran @chrischirp
-
@Tony_Meredith thanks. I've edited to clarify. While they have recommended boosters for specific groups, a wider rollout is desirable. #JCVI has overall taken a minimalist view , not properly acknowledging how infections/re-infections can undermine the immune system & lead to further complications (even for the 'healthy'). THey have been reluctant re kids vax, unlike comparable countries. How they define risks of hospital admissions, deaths is also problematic imo.
-
Unless you are in a clinical risk group or a health care worker etc, if you are under 64 #JCVI thinks it's ok if you get infected. In the past the booster was offered to a wider age group & also to kids. The belief in hybrid immunity/ mass infection still seems to persist.
‘Cost effectiveness’ is ‘considered by age group & clinical risk group’ disregarding risks of #LongCovid, excess deaths & overall health/wellbeing https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-autumn-2023-vaccination-programme-jcvi-advice-26-may-2023/jcvi-statement-on-the-covid-19-vaccination-programme-for-autumn-2023-26-may-2023 #CovidIsNotOver #covid #LongCovid -

Am I reading this right: JCVI calculates that the value of our health is less than £10pp?
and they've put this in writing? 💀

This is odd. JCVI know #vaccines reduce COVID-19 death & illness in previously healthy, younger people, incl. #LongCovid. I had #PostViralFatigue from COVID & I know several people with CFS/ME: post-viral conditions are no joke.
They should develop annual nasal #vaccination targeted to recent SARS-CoV-2 variants, at a cost to those at lower risk, i.e. in line with flu for which I'm eligible for free annual jabs. I can't get a further SARS-CoV-2 vaccine!
