URGENT. Anyone in the LD community or any Covid Drs know how we can get oxygen into my sister. We cannot sedate her enough to get nasal cannula/cpap mask on her & I can’t believe she’s the only Learning disabled person to not tolerate masks. Or maybe she is??

Just read this article - it’s true😢 ⁦Helen Laverty MBE⁩ ‘Do Not Resuscitate': How UK Gov't Failed to Shield Brits With Learning Disabilities From COVID sputniknews.com/uk/20210216108…

After sharing with you all that Frances now has COVID - I wrote this piece for the The Telegraph I’d love it if you’d read it 🙏💚

I absolutely LOVE this photo of the two of us DJing at the festival my mum set up for people with Learning Disabilities🌟

⁦Jo Whiley⁩ Just devastating. It’s not just that many people with learning disabilities are missing from the priority list. Even some people who are on the list (like Frances in group 4) are still waiting. Why?? theguardian.com/world/2021/feb…

Jo Whiley reveals she's been offered vaccine BEFORE vulnerable sister

We cant boast about a world-beating programme until we vaccinate those most likely to die. 🙏 i newspaper for asking me to write. Please also see Ciara Lawrence tweets. Thinking of Frances this morning Jo Whiley #SEND #LearningDisability inews.co.uk/opinion/jo-whi…

Well said Richard! What an important piece. What happened to Jo Whiley's sister Frances (or rather, what didn't happen - no vaccine) is just dreadful and beyond comprehension Jo Whiley Well done BBC News (UK) and Nikki Fox - BBC News & Watchdog Presenter for keeping this on the agenda

This story makes the case for why all people with a learning disability should be prioritised now for vaccine. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-560830…
