🧵Nawaz and the rabbit hole

@LBC host Nawaz bought big into the GBD, has been in contact with the main disinformation groups and has gone down the rabbit hole

A recent look at his Facebook showed a lot of violent language

2/ After arguing no second wave, he then went into "Bidens not won yet" wait for recounts before signing a letter in Jan 21 claiming lockdowns were a Chinese conspiracy

See the other signatories

3/ He had spent 2020 arguing kids dont infect adults "magically immune"

4/ 23rd February he attended a Pandata meeting

5/ Who are Pandata?
GBD, antivaxxers Yeadon and Bhakdi
Scott Atlas and Republican Scott Jenson
Nick Hudson, Cambridge Analytica Fagan, Craig, Smalley

6/ On a side note Julia Hartley-Brewer also been to a Pandata meeting and helping HART

And talking to sympathetic cabinet ministers on their behalf 🤔

7/ In July Nawaz shifted from anti lockdown more into anti vax narratives once the question of child vax and then boosters came up

The pandemics basically over he kept saying, now its about social control...

8/ He warns about big pharma while pushing a message manufactured on behalf of libertarian billionaires

9/ His fan callers are turning down vaccines because of him

10/ Its become a torrent of disinformation on his show, as he talks over people, this GBD study=fact, that GBD study=fact

"Its all about the social credit system"

Its been like listening to a year long break down

11/ Sam White, Fenton, Paton,
Ivermectin, etc
He'll platform it all now

Not been on this weekend..?

12/ And here we go
Good to see @IainDale calling it out
