If people are worried about covid, they avoid shops, go to fewer restaurants, stay away from offices etc.. Big businesses lose money.
Oil companies and commercial property companies lose money if people work from home. People use less petrol, which is the main thing.

People want sick pay, medical care, air filters and ventilation if they know the risks.
Businesses don’t want to pay. They fund pro-virus propaganda. Disinfo about covid and #LongCovid.
Covid’s the 3rd leading cause of death. 3% of the UK has LC. They need to hide it.

Perhaps @FraserNelson isn't a reliable source for #r4today to interview considering the Spectator's track record on covid reporting, they promoted GBD and platformed ppl like David Patton from disinformation group HART
Perhaps it's useful to mention that Oakshotts partner is Richard Tice whose Reform Party is seeking to pick up the anti-lockdown and antivax vote?

It's worth noting @sarahknapton wrote the article as she is mentioned in the #HARTleaks

2/ #HARTleaks shows they see Knapton as a good route to getting disinformation mainstreamed, for instance when they wanted to get attention to some junk stats put together by the UK Medical Freedom Alliance
3/ An example of Knaptons work, Dingwall, Heneghan, Jefferson, nearly all her quotes have likely come out of a single message group
Bridgen and the rest of the CRG have been getting briefed by HART since January 2021,I think likes of Baker and Harper found them useful to undermine public health for libertarian ideology but Bridgen seems to have become a truth believer

I was shocked to find that the former children's commissioner had submitted an application for core participant status to the @covidinquiryuk with UsForThem. Turns out the current children's commissioner has also been supporting a bill put forward by them
h/t @karamballes
h/t @karamballes
This bill is about keeping schools open - irrespective of risk - AND with absolutely no advocacy for mitigations that would actually make schools safer. This has been the thrust of the UsForThem argument- keep children at school- but oppose any action that would make them safe.
It's frankly shameful to see the former childrens commissioner and the current one collaborating with an organisation that has done so much harm- by putting out anti-mask & anti-vax misinformation & opposing mitigations with legal threats to govt.

@han_francis thread ‼️
Francis Hoar, lawyer to the cranks, has an unenviable record of losing almost every case he's involved in. But with clients billed up to £400 an hour for his services, he and his fellow lawyers seem to be profiting from crowdfunding for cases that are often futile and unwinnable.
It started in April 2020, when Francis Hoar wrote an article saying lockdown was "disproportionate" and could be in breach of the Human Rights Act.
The article prompted Simon Dolan to launch a legal challenge against lockdown, and Francis Hoar became junior counsel on the case.

Side note: showing what a small world it is, Francis Hoar's article included a "thanks" to Dr Robert Craig for "comments and suggestions on earlier drafts of the article".

They turned covid into another Culture War issue, platformed disinformation astroturf groups, created alternative experts and facts and are now trying to rewrite history

Just look at how on the first day of lockdown the media pounced on Guptas "almost at herd immunity report"
It made headlines despite it being non peer reviewed and her refusal to even provide the data it was based on
Just another red bus with a lie on it

Over a year since the #HARTleaks released internal chats and emails between conspiracy theorists and MPs and media collaborating to undermine public health

the 'Impeccable scientific integrity' being defended here includes apparently wanting to 'seed the thought that vaccines cause covid'...
Her, and many members of HART and Global Collateral have had disproportionate influence, and their campaigns have no doubt led to deaths. Being suspended on twitter isn't the worst thing that can happen to you. Losing a loved one from COVID is far worse.
I have zero sympathy with the idea that these privileged people who had a responsibility and duty of care to the public and led disinformation campaigns that cost lives are being 'cancelled' or 'censored'...
Better late than never. 🙄 Clare Craig spent most of 2020 claiming we were in a "false positive pseudo epidemic", deleted all her tweets when it became clear she was horribly wrong, then moved on to talking rubbish about vaccines.
She's produced a never-ending stream of wrong...

Given Clare Craig's spectacular ability to misinterpret data (all too often because she just hadn't bothered to read the footnotes), it would be easy to chalk this up to incompetence.

But after two years of spreading mis- and disinformation about the pandemic and vaccines, Clare Craig has finally joined fellow HART members such as Tony Hinton, Michael Yeadon (his alt account) and Joel Smalley (twice) in getting kicked off Twitter for breaking their rules.
🧵Telegraph article on excess deaths, tries to dismiss the possibility covid increases risk of cardiovascular issues to focus on lockdown harms
2/ First question, if lockdown is the cause then surely we should see huge excess numbers in China, Australia, New Zealand etc,
3/ Circulatory issues and diabetes the main cause of excess deaths
Suggests it could be alcohol and work from home

Soon after HART launched, co-founder Anna Rayner warned members that "cyber security will doubtless become an issue" (one of the few things she got right!), and to "make sure anything controversial, or even whiffing of conspiracy isn't posted here".
Of course, nobody listened...

The origin of HART's security problems was arguably before the group even launched when, worried that it "wasn't the right message", they took a donation button off their website, having apparently raised only £1,434.99.
They then seem to have struggled to raise any other funds.

Founder Narice Bernard initially covered HART's Slack Pro license out of his own pocket, but apparently members wouldn't pay £13 each a month to keep it.
Instead they opted to deploy a free Rocket Chat install on their own server. Which turned out to be a false economy...

While many HART members love a good conspiracy theory, it's founding member Michael Yeadon's wild claims that there's a global plot to depopulate the Earth using covid vaccines that has come to define the group. So where did it all go so horribly wrong?
As HART launched in January 2021, Michael Yeadon was already by his own admission struggling with mental health problems and depression.
Soon afterwards he deleted his Twitter account when people noticed he'd posted lots of highly offensive, racist content before the pandemic.

Meanwhile Yeadon and other HART members were already sharing crazy conspiracy theories on the group's chat channels. Eugenics, depopulation, Bill Gates, the WEF and the infamous Georgia Guidestones were all mentioned.
This is the echo chamber Michael Yeadon was living in.

Exactly a year after #HARTleaks, Tory MP @ABridgen cited a recent appearance by @ClareCraigPath on @GBNEWS, where the senior HART member talked to fellow anti covid vaccine campaigner @MarkSteynOnline about a report from Germany .. that had already been withdrawn. 🤦♂️
This is yet another example of the damage that HART are STILL causing, thanks to useful idiots in the media and Parliament continuing to promote their nonsense without even the most basic of checks of who they are or what they're saying.

HART caim to be " a group of highly qualified UK doctors, scientists .. and other academic experts", but in private they have some truly bizarre beliefs, including that vaccines make you magnetic or are designed to turn us into zombies that can be remote controlled using 5G. 🤪
Many HART members believe that covid vaccines cause "shedding". Basically, they think vaccinated people walk around in a cloud of spike proteins that can "infect" those around them. They blamed everying from unusual periods to rising covid cases on alleged "vaccine shedding".
Christine Padgham was particularly active in "vaccine shedding" discussions. Initially questioning if it was "mass hysteria" or "nonsense", within weeks she was asking fellow members if anything from a child with shingles to a baby with a temperature could be due to shedding.
A year ago today @LogicallyAI posted an exposé of HART based on a huge chat server leak. This showed them privately discussing wild conspiracy theories and sharing anti-vax and extremist content, while trying to maintain a public facade of respectability.

In the following weeks many of us trawled through tens of thousands of leaked messages exchanged by HART.
It was eye opening, showing the group working with MPs and media, while many members thought covid vaccines were mass murder or made us magnetic!

2/ How did that work out? Bhattacharya's evidence was junk, he misrepresented a study
3/ LawOrFiction raised nearly £50k for the case, they said if they went to full trial they would want 6 figures
The aim was to prevent enforced mask wearing, estimated 10k initial cost, surplus to go on other antimask work
So 38k leftover then? Nice
