1) I've already written a thread on the members of @hartgroup_org but, in this thread, I want to highlight their formation, views of its members, their exposure in media, and their increasingly anti-vax stance.
2) .@hartgroup_org are basically an offshoot of Narice Bernard's Yeadon Campaign & PCR Claims. Conversations, involving Narice, Anna Rayner, Mike Yeadon, Bernie de Haldevang (@Gilt_Elephant), & others, led to the setting up of @hartgroup_org
3) PCR Claims, members of @hartgroup_org & former PCR Claims "spokesperson" @NickHudsonCT, started tweeting in early Jan. 2021 about the upcoming launch
4) Narice stuck up for @hartgroup_org members when someone pointed out the difference in experience between them & SAGE. Bernie de Haldevang promoted Hart & PCR Claims. And, Hart member, Engler, discussed possible collaboration with @ClareCraigPath & Mike Yeadon.
5) Graham Hutchinson was an early member of @hartgroup_org but stepped down early in Feb. to "try" and fill the "void" left by Mike Yeadon after he deleted his Twitter account.
6) Early in the pandemic, Hart member Jonathan Engler had full belief in the qualifications of SAGE members when the government were possibly going for herd immunity & letting the virus rip through society. Around the same time, Joel Smalley was sceptical about the virus.
7) In Feb. 2020, Hart member @DrLeeJones admitted to his knowledge limitations on the science of pandemics: "you'll need epidemiologists". Dr Lee has more recently discussed his views on other Hart members in the below thread with @whippletom
8) Another Hart member, "retired doctor" Liz Evans, also formed the UK Medical Freedom Alliance. The UKFMA share info on vaccines from sources such as The Daily Expose, "Dr No" & anti-vaxxer Robert F. Kennedy Jr's Children's Health Defence site.
9) In Jan. 2021, @hartgroup_org's John Lee claimed on @talkRADIO that there were "no excess deaths due to covid". Lee doesn't appear to have much of a social media presence but looking at other members' tweets, this was probably why he gets media gigs.
13) The image below is part of @hartgroup_org statement on their website. Do @hartgroup_org really believe they'll be taken seriously when their members are sharing anti-vax material and non-peer reviewed sources of information?
16) Oh look, its @hartgroup_org coordinator, Anna Rayner, at today's march.
17) As stated in Tweet 8) of this thread, Liz Evans is also involved with the UK Medical Freedom Alliance. Here's a selection of Liz's old tweets:
18) New @hartgroup_org member, Anthony Hinton, appears to have been invited to contact the group by @HCimiez (most likely a fake name as Cimiez is where Henri Matisse's tomb is but if not fake, cool name).

1) I noticed that Sunetra Gupta will be appearing at a World Freedom Forum event so had a look into the other people on the line-up…
2) The discredited scientist, Judy Mikovits, reappeared last year with the film “Plandemic”. Mikovits has also shared anti-vax conspiracy theories. reuters.com/article/uk-fac…
3) Reiner Fuellmich is currently leading the German Corona Investigative Committee in an attempt to bring about “Nuremberg II”. Fuellmich is also a member of the German protest party Die Basis. Der Spiegel wrote about Die Basis: archive.ph/9anQL
1) After hitting 99 tweets on my PCR Claims thread, & now PCR Claims is basically just Narice promoting his new campaign & posting nonsense, I've decided to start a new thread on Liberal Spring.
2) Narice first started posting about Liberal Spring on 14th March 2021 (@JamesMelville & Jenny Rickson also began posting similar soon after. However, Melville recently dropped the cherry blossom emoji from his profile).
3) Liberal Spring recently launched their updated website containing a video of Mike Yeadon endorsing the campaign. The main aims of the group are to "lobby the Lib Dem membership" & "raise greater awareness" of their "10 Pledges".
1) A thread of my ongoing threads, covering the various linked "grassroots" campaigns disseminating disinformation, conspiracy theories, and pseudo-science.
1) I've been looking into the Yeadon Campaign to see how and when the PCR Claims campaign came about and then developed into China Files.
The first tweets by the account, on 21st Oct. 2020, were pro-Trump messages.
2) But the main focus of the account, and the identity of the account holder, becomes apparent a couple of days later...
3) Emma Kenny, who was listed as a "spokesperson" on PCR Claims' website, until the list was removed, shared a link to the Yeadon Campaign and praised Michael Yeadon. Kenny also shared a link to Narice's Free Insolvency Advice post.
1) PCR Claims are one of the most opaque campaigns to spring up during the pandemic. Their website, when it first appeared, had a long list of "spokespeople" but the list has now been cut down to just Jo Rogers, of Navistar Legal.
2) PCR Claims have previously been discussed by @NeilDotObrien who highlighted the web server links between Ycampaign, PCR Claims, Hart and Goldsafe.
3) Goldsafe Ltd. was a company incorporated by Delroy N. Bernard, aka. Narice Bernard. Narice appears in Jo Rogers' profile pic, with Jeffrey Peel & Clare Craig.
