Today Boris announced the scrapping of the self isolation law leading to me sending an email to No10 for the first time ever
“Following on from the prime minister announcing today the scrapping of self isolation rules for those who test positive to Covid-19, do I assume correctly that all those of us who have made no antibody response at all like myself and others with primary immunodeficiencies and other conditions will be able to receive the antibody therapies prophylactically to prevent serious illness when those testing positive are allowed to walk around shops with no mask infecting anyone they come into contact with.
If not then the feeling amongst antibody deficiency patients that we are seen as second rate citizens and an inconvenience during this pandemic is true and highly disappointing.”
I have 3 covid vaccines and made no antibody or T-cell response to any of them. I have not sacrificed two years of my life staying inside for the government to decide I really do not matter. The scrapping of self isolation rules without giving those of us who are immune deficient the antibody therapy needed to keep us safe is an appalling thought.
Even those who have responded to the vaccine do not want those testing positive wandering about being able to infect anyone and everyone and I really do not want the risk of hospitalization or death from being infected myself.
So I would urge everyone to contact the cabinet office about this decision and what it means for the most vulnerable in society.
How Rare?
