Speaking at today's anti-vaccine, anti-lockdown rally in London's Trafalgar Square, former nurse Kate Shemirani - who was struck off in June - says Covid vaccines are "Satanic", citing "the pattern 060606". The graphine oxide single-molecule sheet "is a conductor", she adds.
Former member of the London Assembly and leader of the Heritage Party David Kurten says: "These vaccines are not actually vaccines, they're experimental injections." "The people sitting in the parliament are doing the bidding of evil," he adds.
German lawyer Reiner Fuellmich says "these vaccinations are experimental gene therapies without any scientific study as a basis". "In all likelihood", he says, there will be "500,000 dead after vaccination in the US alone". He adds: "There is no evidence for a pandemic."
Kate Shemirani says masks are "subjugation tools used by the freemasons". "Within 10 minutes of wearing it is full of a bacteria that causes pneumonia," she says. She asks the crowd whether they're gonna have the "daily depopulation injection".
Kate Shemirani says "5G is a direct energy weapon". "In your injections, the hydrogel is a conduit, it has an antenna that links you. It transmits and receives. This is surveillance technology."
Anti-5G activist Mark Steele says the vaccine is a "biological, chemical weapon" and "the virus is a hoax". He says what's happening in the UK is "domestic terrorism" and "genocide". The Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage) "is a terrorist organisation", he adds.
Mark Steele says 5G is a "directional weapon system". He says "the street light outside your home" is "the biggest risk" to everyone. "Microcells on street furniture, LED street lights" are "biologically toxic to all life", which is why insects don't fly around them, he adds.
Katie Hopkins calls on the crowd to "rub yourselves up against each other". Referring to her deportation from Australia, she says: "If it makes me happy to answer a hotel door naked, that's exactly what I'm gonna do and you're gonna have to deport my arse to stop me."
David Icke's son, Gareth, says: "The best vaccine against Covid-19 is the realisation that's it all bullshit." He adds: "These Great Reset psycopaths have had us in their gunsights from the beginning... But now those gunsights have moved to our children."
Former GP Vernon Coleman says the "manufactured, fake" Covid-19 "is just the flu rebranded".
He says people who wear masks are "killing themselves" and "will be demented in ten years' time" and children who wear masks in school "will be the stupid kids in a few years' time".
Vernon Coleman says "once the pathogenic priming gets going in the autumn" people who have had Covid vaccines "will start dropping like flies". He brands the vaccine "toxic material" and "napalm".
"The criminals in government are building four new super prisons," says Ms Shemirani. "I'm so glad, because that'll be their home." And doctors and nurses who vaccinate, police officers "not acting under their oath" and "possibly even the Queen" will give them "good company".
Piers Corbyn claims "you're much more likely to die or get ill from the jab that you are from Covid, whatever it may be".
He says there are four legs and a tail to the New World Order: "the Covid con", "the climate con", "the jab evil", "the 5G evil" and "the one class system".
Last up is David Icke, who says "demons" persuaded millions around the world to believe in "their plan" and "global tyranny" by using "a fake virus, a fake test and fake death certificates to give the illusion of a deadly disease that has never and does not exist".
Davie Icke claims "staggering numbers of people worldwide will die from the fake vaccination". "It's the pandemic of the fake vaccinated," he adds.
Mr Icke ends his speech by playing YNWA, which he calls "the Covid karaoke", and asking the Trafalgar Square crowd to sing along.
Today's rally was the third round of global protests in more than 100 towns and cities organised by a small group of activists in Kassel, Germany, called "World Wide Demonstration".
Finally, there was a remark made by Kate Shemirani about Nuremberg trials for nurses and doctors, a belief that's been spreading like wildfire in Covid conspiracy circles for months, that I deliberately chose not to include in the thread due to its violent nature.

Immediately after the Southport attack, baseless rumours began spreading online.
The main source of rumours has been a report by an obscure US "news" website that falsely claims the suspect is an "asylum seeker" named "Ali Al-Shakati", who "arrived in the UK by boat last year".
Merseyside Police has confirmed that the suspect was born in Cardiff, and has yet to identify the 17-year-old.
The report also adds that the suspect was "on MI6 watch list", despite the fact that it is MI5, not MI6, that deals with domestic counter-terrorism cases.
The name "Ali Al-Shakati" has since been widely shared online in misleading posts viewed by millions.
Some other outlets, including Russia's RT news channel, have also reported this name, citing the US-based website.
Pro-Kremlin influencers claim the captain of the Dali ship is a Ukrainian.
But online records show a Ukrainian man was the Dali's captain from March to July 2016. The ship that hit the bridge reportedly had an all-Indian crew.
Claims by influencers such as Alex Jones and Andrew Tate that the Baltimore Bridge collapsed due to a "cyber-attack" have been viewed millions of times.
Maryland Governor Wes Moore has said the early investigation points to an accident, with "no evidence of a terrorist attack".
This video, viewed 1.4 million times, claims to show evidence of pre-installed explosives causing the Baltimore Bridge collapse.
What the video shows is not explosives, but most likely electrical wires catching sparks.
DC Weekly, a website founded by a former US Marine now living in Russia, has fuelled disinformation stories about Zelensky and Ukraine, including a fake story that he bought two luxury yachts with US aid money, later repeated by some members of Congress.
These are just a few of the disinformation stories published by DC Weekly about Zelensky and Ukraine recently.
They all follow the same pattern: an obscure YouTube video featuring false claims, an article on DC Weekly referring to that video, and viral posts on social media.
All of those articles featuing false claims about Zelensky and Ukraine are written by Jessica Devlin. According to DC Weekly, she's a "highly acclaimed journalist" from NYC.
Except, that's the image of author Judy Batalion. Jessica Devlin is a fake persona. She doesn't exist.
A vast Russian influence operation on TikTok involving 12,800 fake accounts spreading disinformation about the war in Ukraine to millions of users in Germany, France, Italy, Poland, Israel and Ukraine, has been uncovered by BBC Verify and @DFRLab.
Back in the summer, this video, featuing an AI-generated voice, racked up millions of views on TikTok and later on Twitter.
It falsely accused Ukraine's former defence minister Oleksiy Reznikov and his daughter Anastasiya Shteinhauz of buying a a €7m villa in Cannes, France.
We debunked the viral video back in July. The villa seen in the video wasn't bought by Reznikov, and was actually up for sale.
So, @O_Rob1nson, @adkrobinson and I tried to find out more about the account that originally posted that video to TikTok.
The meme shared by Elon Musk about the pizzagate conspiracy theory is itself based on the completely false claim that James Gordon Meek, a journalist who recently pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography, had debunked pizzagate. Meek never reported on pizzagate.
The completely false claim that James Gordon Meek had debunked pizzagate was spread back in the summer by QAnon followers, like this blue tick account.
The New York Post has never published such a story about Meek. It's a totally fake image and a made up headline.
Elon Musk has once again fallen for a completely false claim, this time based on a fabricated New York Post headline pushed months ago by conspiracy theorists on his own platform.
If he'd done a simple check before tweeting, he'd have found out the whole thing was false.
