EVUSHELD UK Government Must Say Yes Now
Your Government have treated over 500000 people in the UK in an unjust and discriminatory manner. Your Policy of drug procurement toward the masses is completely contrary to that adopted for the immunosuppressed who’s lives are being put at risk. Vaccination is not a solution for that group it does not work and will offer no protection.
The alternative is Evusheld available in USA throughout Europe, Israel and in total around 32 countries. This prophylactic Monoclonal Antibody treatment is unique and is in effect a vaccine for the immunosuppressed. Recent test data from Israel shows that it prevents hospitalisation/death in trial group by 92%. Clearly the best a vaccine does for the masses is to prevent serious illness hence so many getting Covid .The vaccination program itself doesn’t prevent infection and thus will not do anything to lessen the risk to the immunosuppressed.
Since it was approved by the MHRA on 17/3/2022 your Government has created a series of preventive obstacles which deny those affected the freedom that vaccination affords to others.
There was no Immediate recommendation by Rapid Covid 19 following approval. Instead uniquely further testing was said to be required. When that testing was found to be completed, then Rapid C-19 via CMO referrred the matter to NICE . The result of Rapid C-19's involvement and findings has only been partially published.The decision to refer the matter to NICE for full process thereby delaying a decision for any purchase for a further six months, by which time its efficacy may be more limted than back in March. No similar scrutiny or process was applied to any other vacancies or Covid Treatment including the current new Moderna Vaccine. Rapid Covid 19 have never before declined to recommend prompt deployment.
You need to listen to the Independent advice given to you in a Statement from over 125 Clinicians and that of the 20 Charities, this drug will save lives, ease pressure on NHS and help to prevent further viral mutation.
You have to urgently rethink the Winter Plan and get Evusheld into the arms of the most vulnerable to Covid. Vaccination is not protecting them or the NHS. Nothing to be gained for the immunosuppressed by a further vaccination not even tested on that cohort. Be aware 3.6 of them are dying everyday unnecessarily and no doubt many more would do so if they did not protect themselves by shielding.
Prevention is better than cure! Change your plan now!

Why is this important?
Clearly the lives of around 500000 people and their families and friends are affected directly shielding is still their reality.
Their Mental health is being compromised
Reducing hospital admission of the immunosuppressed takes pressure off a system already nearly on its knees.
Prevention of disease in this group hinders the mutation of the virus which may well occur if they are left to catch it.
The weakest should not suffer to permit the Civil Liberties of the masses to prevail. Speak up for their equal right to freedom for the Imunnosurpressed and others for which Evusheld will bring a degree of freedom
