HART, their members and related groups have spent all year fighting to block teenagers from being able to get vaccinated, from coming up with ways to put kids and parents off getting vaccinated to threatening schools, councils and medical authorities with legal action.

When Oxford Uni started vaccine trials for children in February, HART members claimed "after this it may be too late for humanity", and suggested "holding to account people trialing it", attacking the ethics committee that authorised it, and "indicting the named investigator"!

By May HART was coordinating with other groups to "thwart the children's jab rollout". Val Fraser sent a wild message to other groups calling it "the biggest existential threat to humanity" and ranting about the "abominable horror" of "experimental medical procedures" in schools.

Fraser says "it needs to be stopped in its tracks", and that Ros Jones and Liz Evans are already working with other groups to send liability notices to councils and head teachers, and will need "grassroots groups" for leaflet campaigns targeting parents and teenagers.

Ros Jones reported that she was already coordinating on Telegram with UKMFA, Lawyers 4 Liberty, UsForThem, Anna Brees and others.

Lawyers are preparing injunctions to block approval of vaccinates for children, and Jemma Moran has submitted a parliamentary petition in her name.

Although the parliamentary petition is eventually accepted (after some edits), it fails to gain much traction. Harrie Bunker-Smith thinks it's because they had to water it down and it's not anti-vax enough.

Or maybe HART's in a small minority opposing covid vaccines for teens?

Psychologist Harrie Bunker-Smith is also responsible for one of HART's most disturbing ideas - a viral TikTok rap video to convince kids it's cool to not get vaccinated!

Patrick Fagan (ex Cambridge Analytica) thinks it's an ethical minefield for kids .. but fine to target teens!

Another bizarre episode involved Christine Padgham, who repeatedly suggested calling police to report vaccination as "children being experimented on" or "assault / GBH / manslaughter".

She told HART members "if you think it's a crazy idea, say so".
It is. They didn't.

Meanwhile Liz Evans and the UKMFA had sent an open letter to the MHRA raising "grave concerns" about their authorisation of Pfizer for 12-15 year olds.

Ros Jones suggested sending it to all members of the JCVI as well. Malcolm Loudon agreed "they need to feel the heat".

Suspiciously though, Jemma Moran had already heard from "someone in the know" that the JCVI would "come out dead against" vaccinating children.

Outspoken former JCVI member Robert Dingwall recently addressed a parliamentary group with links to Moran and HART. Was he the mole? 🤔

Sure enough, the JCVI kept delaying vaccination for kids, eventually recommending it only for vulnerable children.

Val Fraser claimed HART "played a part" in this by sending letters and threatening schools with liability notices.

But now "we need to get to parents". 😬

As far back as March, Val Fraser was asking HART members to provide material for leaflets that a group was going to hand out to parents at school gates.

More recently, Sarah Waters pestered pupils and parents outside Cornish schools with FutureZ leaflets. It was not popular...

HART may also have links to Safer To Wait, another group hanging around outside schools, annoying parents and teachers.

Fraser (an education adviser for Nottinghamshire council!) uses their slogan in July, and their new website cites HART and several of its members.

Meanwhile HART members have also been haranguing their own childrens' schools.

One sent a lengthy letter demanding that his daughter "not attend any classes where you teach Covid-19 jab coercion material", and threatening them with liability if she's somehow vaccinated there.

Liz Evans claimed her daughter's classmates were "obsessed with testing, masking and cleaning in a way that would have been considered a mental health disorder", and makes unfounded claims about risks of vaccines causing "neurological disorders or a negative impact on fertility."

All of this stems from a crazy belief amongst many HART members that covid vaccines will somehow harm vast numbers of children.

They're "fearful for children of the sheep", talk about protecting their kids from "gene jab fiends", and claim "they" want to "harm our kids".

Members suggested the JCVI kept putting off vaccinating children because they knew there was a problem ("we can't start killing kids, but what do we say"), and said "anyone with an interest in eugenics would have drawn up" the list of vulnerable children eligible for vaccination.

Some of their posts are downright paranoid. Members think police might "snatch children of lockdown sceptics for forced jabs", that parents "will be classed as a danger to your kids if you don't vax them", and stories in the press (and even random adverts in them) are propaganda.

Of course, this is familiar ground for many of HART's members. Several members seem to believe Andrew Wakefield's long discredited lies about the MMR vaccine causing autism.

Co-founder Anna Rayner even claims to treat "vaccine damage" with homeopathy!

Given their often bizarre beliefs and months spent in an echo chamber amplifying each other, it's perhaps inevitable that HART have wasted so much time and effort on a misguided crusade to block parents from having the option to get their children vaccinated if they want to...
