    Norway has just voted to decriminalise drugs - users will no longer be punished, but receive help and treatment. Well done Norway!

    Clear evidence that masks significantly reduce COVID-19 transmission. As the cases continue to rise, it is important that the govt acts on evidence, and bring back mandatory masks on public transport, so that we can avoid a winter crisis.

    Remarkable new work from Korea shows the extraordinary impact of masks on SARS-2 transmission on public transit. Parameterized based on *aerosol* simulator. (Because SARS-2 is airborne). Distancing helps, but less important (b/c SARS-2 = airborne). science.org/doi/full/10.11…

    It's #WorldImmunisationWeek and we want to know if you'd be in favour of needing proof of having a Covid-19 vaccine (vaccine passport) to be able to enter pubs and attend events?

    There are only four days left until the start of #ScrollFreeSeptember, when we are asking people to give up or cut back their social media use to see if it could benefit their mental wellbeing. Help us spread the word and get the chance to win a goodie bag and vouchers.

    We absolutely agree @GaryLineker! We've been campaigning for a more #publichealth and #harmreduction based approach to UK #drugpolicy since 2016 - #decriminalisation is a critical part of this, see bit.ly/2EA5ZUv #TANLOD

    Controversial, no doubt, but never understood the drug laws. Just get on with decriminalisation. Prohibition doesn’t work, just creates much worse crime. Other countries like Portugal are leading the way and results are impressive.

    🧵1/3 An alarming new report published today by the @marmotihe shows that almost one million people died prematurely because of health inequalities between 2011 and the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.
    Health inequalities ‘caused 1m early deaths in England in last decade’
