While HART try to look respectable in public, behind closed doors they believe vaccines killed more people than they saved.
Members share anti-vax conspiracy theories, talk about hanging nurses, and believe that vaccines make you magnetic or are a plot to depopulate the Earth!
Back in January they were discussing ways to put people off getting vaccinated, from "asking concerned questions" and playing up disinformation about fertility, to ignoring reports of vaccine wastage and suggesting they "find a way to help them get [the rollout] wrong" instead.
HART were worried about being branded as anti-vax right out of the gate though, and decided to keep quiet in public.
Even Michael Yeadon, who a couple of months later was claiming covid vaccines could kill millions of people, warned of the danger of "looking like anti vaxxers".
But in private they talked about vaccination being responsible for the surge in deaths over winter, and claimed that "the cure will be worse than the disease".
One member even said "we are witnessing man-made carnage", and that HART would be complicit if it didn't speak out.
When the government increased the gap between vaccine doses, HART members thought this was a tacit admission that the vaccines were killing the elderly, and an attempt to hide this.
They predicted "complete carnage" when "those who survived the first dose" got their second.
This is, of course, complete and utter nonsense.
Second jabs for the elderly mostly took place in March and April.
Cases and deaths fell.
Even when a new wave did arrive, after lockdown was lifted in May, infections and deaths in the elderly were far lower than previous waves.
Luckily HART are part of a whole incestuous network of covid sceptic groups with overlapping membership.
Liz Evans ("wireless radiation health adviser") is also the founder of the UK Medical Freedom Alliance, who happily attacked vaccines in public while HART stayed "clean".
Things really kicked off though when SAGE's Prof John Edmunds suggested vaccinating children.
HART draft a letter to "put him on notice".
Members rant about "anti science hysteria" from people who "literally sold their souls to the devil".
Yeadon says "they need shooting".
The most extreme member though seems to be lawyer Anna de Buisseret, who repeatedly posts long rambling messages about crimes against humanity and conspiracy favourites like the Great Reset and Agenda 21.
Other members don't bat an eyelid to her crazed rants. Some encourage her.
When she talks about hanging nurses, nobody complains.
Her "notice to all medics" says they're "taking part in a live human experiment" which is a "crime against humanity".
She brings up the Nuremberg Trials, and says doctors and nurses "risk ending up on the end of a noose"!
But then Michael Yeadon upstages her by abruptly talking about covid vaccines being a plot to depopulate the Earth in late March.
Amazingly, other members support his crazy claim!
One doctor says "we need to pray specifically for Mike Yeadon to get special Divine protection"!
This carries on into April before he goes quiet.
He suggests vax passports are "another clue that their solution involves far fewer people", that authorities "could release a more lethal form" of covid to "allow whatever the next steps are", and that the pandemic was planned!
Members also repeatedly discussed whether vaccination was somehow directly causing covid, causing false positive tests, "reactivating dormant virus", or if some batches were even contaminated with live virus!
Meanwhile Liz Evans was claiming that there was a "bigger agenda" to introduce more mRNA vaccines "and therefore mass gene therapy from babies upwards".
"We could face a complete public health catastrophe".
Elsewhere members discuss whether the rollout of 5G was linked to covid, "even though I feel like David Icke".
Anna Rayner (a homeopath who "treats" autism and "vaccine damage") thinks it's "totally reasonable", and that Google censoring disinformation is a sign it may be true.
Even now, members frequently suggest that covid vaccines made people MORE vulnerable and killed thousands, and that falling death rates in the elderly now aren't because the vaccines worked but because they "took out most of the vulnerable in the first vax wave".
Meanwhile several prominent members seem to have fallen for a discredited report that the Pfizer vaccine is 99% graphene oxide.
Liz Evans even suggests that this may be making people magnetic, "interacting" with 5G, and poisoning babies via vaccinated mothers' breast milk!
Apparently even PANDA drew the line at this "nonsense". But HART seem completely taken in by the bizarre story, and quickly setup an entire chat channel dedicated to "biomagnetism".
Liz Evans calls it a "crime against humanity on an unprecedented scale".
HART present themselves as "a group of highly qualified UK doctors, scientists, economists, psychologists and other experts" who "question the narrative".
But in private they look more like a bunch of quacks and conspiracy nuts hiding behind a thin veneer of faux respectability.
Aseem Malhotra has been confirmed as a speaker at next weekend's Reform UK conference. The increasingly anti-vaccine cardio crank is already Chief Health Advisor to Farage's anti-WHO "Action on World Health" campaign, and now seems to be angling for a job with Reform too. 🧵
This intersection of far right politics and anti-vaccine health contrarians in the UK is no surprise, after Reform's 2024 manifesto pandered to conspiracy theorists, many of whom helped out on their campaign or even stood as candidates for the party.
Reform's links to anti-vaxxers in the UK go back years. Richard Tice was in contact with ivermectin pusher Tess Lawrie and pandemic denier Jonathan Engler in 2021 and several Reform / Brexit Party veterans were involved in the covid conspiracy movement.
Advance UK recently announced its committee, which includes anti-vax data mangler Norman Fenton, racist conspiracy theorist Jim Ferguson, climate change denier Paul Burgess, and conspiracy theory website editor Kathy Gyngell. 🧵
Paul Burgess was environment spokesman for the far right For Britain Movement (a UKIP splinter group which, like Reform splinter group Advance UK, was backed by Tommy Robinson). He's also appeared on GB News as a "climate commentator".
Kathy Gyngell is the editor of Conservative Woman, a right wing website which during the pandemic went from attacking gay and trans rights and other culture wars nonsense to spreading anti-vaccine propaganda, covid conspiracy theories and AIDS denialism.
The co-founder of "Operation Raise the Colours" (the recent spate of people putting English flags on lamp posts) is an old friend of Tommy Robinson who says he's been "16 years by his side", and had breakfast with Robinson after his release from jail earlier this year. 🧵
Tommy Robinson's mate Andy Saxon and his "Operation Raise the Colours" have also had support from UKIP leader / Turning Point UK COO Nick Tenconi (recently seen giving what looked like a Nazi salute), far right Britain First Party and its co-leader / ex BNP member Paul Golding.
Before his "Operation Raise the Colours" gained momentum recently, Saxon posted support for Britain First and its "remigration" campaign to remove immigrants from the UK, as well as offensive and sometimes threatening Islamophobic content.
🧵 Kate Shemirani's daughter sadly died last year, after refusing chemotherapy for her cancer, in favour of the kind of extreme quackery promoted by her mum.
Refusing to take responsibility, Kate accused the NHS of homicide and subjecting her daughter to medical experimentation.
Kate Shemirani and her ex-husband issued a statement after their daughter's death, wildly claiming that it was part of "a systemic pattern of state-sponsored medical homicide and institutional cover-up" by the NHS, and suggesting that she was part of an "unregulated drug trial".
Inevitably, Kate Shemirani and her allies are using the tragedy to raise money, claiming "they have taken her daughter". Their target is up to £100,000 to challenge the outcome of an inquest that hasn't even happened yet. So far they've only raised £2,455 from gullible followers.
Dilbert creator Scott Adams has sadly got prostate cancer. After going down a rabbit hole during the pandemic though, he turned to Canadian quack William Makis who (as always) recommended ivermectin and fenbendazole. Which did not work. Now they're in an unseemly row over it. 🧵
Ivermectin pusher William Makis responded to Scott Adams' post by claiming he didn't follow his "protocol" (which Adams denies), his cancer was "probably" caused by covid vaccines, and that he "didn't discount the possibility" that Adams was part of a plot to discredit him. 😬
Unsurprisingly Scott Adams is giving short shrift to Makis and other quacks and their followers, who are trying to blame his cancer on covid vaccines or encourage him to try anti-parasitics, vitamins, fasting, diets and other dodgy "cures" for his cancer.
This week sees the second "ARC Forum" in London, a right wing talking shop with overtones of Islamophobia, transphobia and climate change denial, funded by Paul Marshall and Legatum, who are also behind GB News.
Unsurprisingly there are a lot of familiar faces there... 🧵
Alan Miller from anti-lockdown turned anti-everything group Together is on a panel.
He was interviewed at ARC Forum by right wing channel Newsmax Australia, and was apparently "shocked to learn" that, according to them, Australia has no free speech and supports trans people. 🤷♂️
Toby Young founded Daily Sceptic, which like Together started out as anti-lockdown but then branched out into culture war outrage farming and omni-contrarianism.
It's still edited by a member of anti-vax misinformation group HART, who laundered their work through the site.
