The drugs Blanche Hampton takes for lupus suppress her immune system

There are around 500,000 people in the UK with suppressed immune

Blanche Hampton has lupus, a condition where her immune system has
turned against her.
The drugs she takes to control the lupus also suppress her immune
system, meaning her body has no defences against Covid.
Blanche has been shielding for two and a half years, but she believes >Evusheld offers a chance for at least some kind of existence outside of >her small flat in Inverkip, west of Glasgow.

"Evusheld would give me a layer of protection, that is better than >nothing. Because that's what I have currently - nothing."
And Blanche, like many people who find themselves in the same

says she feels abandoned.

In particular, there are some concerns over how long protection may

last

against the Omicron variant of Covid.
Ministers say they are urgently looking into setting up clinical

trials,

but it's unlikely that any results will be available until late spring
at the earliest.
'Thrown under a bus'

Scott and Nikola Bridgen have shared their disappointment over the

decision

That decision was a bitter blow for Scott Bridgen and his wife Nikola. >Scott's treatment for a rare form of blood cancer has left his immune >system in pieces.
Evusheld offered the couple the chance to make some memories in

whatever

time Scott has left.
Scott says he feels terribly let down.
"I'm ex-military, I served this country in the early 1990s, and I feel >like I've just been thrown under the bus to be quite honest."
Scott's wife Nikola is one of the founders of the patient campaign

group

'Evusheld for the UK', which is pushing for the decision to be

reviewed.

"The solution to the problem is there, but we can't get it.
"And to be honest, I think that's even more cruel than not having a >solution at all."
Prof Alex Richter, consultant immunologist at University of Birmingham, >said: "The decision to not run with Evusheld this winter is very much a >kind of glass half empty approach.
"But the glass half-full approach is, it has some activity and it has >some benefit. And so for very many patients, actually isn't it

better to

do something for them rather than nothing?"
Campaigners - backed by charities such as Kidney Care UK and the MS >Society and more than 120 medical experts - say time is now running

out,

ahead of another winter during which the most vulnerable will have to >shield.
They argue that even if Evusheld doesn't give 100% protection, doing >something is better than doing nothing.
They warn the mental, physical and economic costs of another winter of >isolation for hundreds of thousands of people will have an impact for >years to come.
A Department of Health and Social Care spokesperson said they were >"urgently exploring" the option of commissioning a clinical trial.
The spokesman added: "We are keeping the evidence under close review

and

NICE have begun their appraisal of Evusheld. If they consider the >treatment to be clinically and cost effective, it will be made

available

on the NHS in the usual way."

The only *healthy* way to stop the pandemic, thereby saving lives, in
the U.K. & elsewhere is by rapidly ( http://bit.ly/RapidTestCOVID-19
) finding out at any given moment, including even while on-line, who
among us are unwittingly contagious (i.e pre-symptomatic or
asymptomatic) in order to http://tinyurl.com/ConvinceItForward (John
15:12) for them to call their doctor and self-quarantine per their
doctor in hopes of stopping this pandemic. Thus, we're hoping for the
best while preparing for the worse-case scenario of the Alpha lineage mutations and others like the Omicron, Gamma, Beta, Epsilon, Iota,
Lambda, Mu & Delta lineage mutations combining via
slip-RNA-replication to form hybrids like
http://tinyurl.com/Deltamicron that may render current COVID vaccines/monoclonals/medicines/pills no longer effective.

Indeed, I am wonderfully hungry ( http://tinyurl.com/RapidOmicronTest
) and hope you, Michael, also have a healthy appetite too.

So how are you ?

I am wonderfully hungry!

While wonderfully hungry in the Holy Spirit, Who causes (Deuteronomy
8:3) us to hunger, I note that you, Michael, are rapture ready (Luke
17:37 means no COVID just as eagles circling over their food have no
COVID) and pray (2 Chronicles 7:14) that our Everlasting (Isaiah 9:6)
Father in Heaven continues to give us "much more" (Luke 11:13) Holy
Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) so that we'd have much more of His Help to
always say/write that we're "wonderfully hungry" in **all** ways
including especially caring to http://tinyurl.com/ConvinceItForward
(John 15:12 as shown by http://tinyurl.com/RapidOmicronTest ) with all
glory ( http://bit.ly/Psalm112_1 ) to GOD (aka HaShem, Elohim, Abba,
DEO), in the name (John 16:23) of LORD Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen.

Laus DEO !

Be hungrier, which really is wonderfully healthier especially for
