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.
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.
Struggling to get papers published? Why not start your own scientific journal? 🤷♂️ That's what the Great Barrington Declaration's authors have done.
Martin Kulldorff is editor-in-chief, and Jay Bhattacharya and Sunetra Gupta are on the editorial board. But wait, there's more. 🧵
The editorial board of the GBD's journal also includes their Collateral Global colleagues David Livermore (ex-HART), Carl Heneghan and Tom Jefferson (whose recent work includes dumpster diving "studies" misrepresenting responses to FOI requests from random members of the public).
Other familiar names include Scott Atlas (former Trump advisor, and co-founder with Kulldorff and Bhattacharya of the "Academy for Science and Freedom"), John Ioannidis (who, like Gupta, underestimated covid's fatality rate) and Marty Makary (Trump's nominee to head the FDA).
BREAKING: None of this is true.
The father was 18 at the time of the Rwandan genocide, and living in Uganda.
He's also a Tutsi - the victims of the genocide, not its perpetrators.
And Keir Starmer didn't represent him.
Needless to say, former Brexit Party MEP turned conspiracy theorist Jim Ferguson gives absolutely no evidence to support these claims, which seem to be based on social media rumours that have been circulating for months.
Conspiracy X's meltdown over Trump backing mRNA cancer vaccines is a thing of beauty. 😆
🧵
Apparently the mRNA cancer vaccines are "all part of the depopulation agenda".
Conspiracy X went from "Make America Healthy Again" to "oh my God, Trump's trying to kill us all" so fast they'll get whiplash. 😆
And if you thought "the depopulation agenda" was wild, how about mRNA cancer vaccines as a CIA assassination tool to off people chosen for termination by AI, or to "shut off people's connection to God"? 🤯
As wildfires continue to burn in LA, Naomi Wolf has falsely claimed they were fueled by cloud seeding, and shared stories linking them to anything from 15 minute cities and a supposed "globalist deindustrialization plan" to the 2028 Olympics and space lasers. 🤨
Whenever there's a fire, conspiracy theorists always blame "directed energy weapons". Although often the videos they share show a far more plausible cause. In this case, it's a sparking power line banging against a tree amidst high winds...
One of the weirder conspiracy theories I've come across in the past is that there's a vast network of tunnels under LA used to traffick children to the stars, linked to the Getty Museum. 🤷♂️
Unsurprisingly QAnon types are linking the nearby Palisades fire to this bizarre story...
After the horrific attack on the Christmas market in Magdeburg, all the people you'd expect immediately blamed Islam and called for Muslims to be deported en masse for one man's crime. Just one problem... Apparently the suspect isn't a Muslim. 🧵
The apparent suspect in the attack on the Magdeburg market is a Saudi refugee who denounced Islam, accuses Germany of a "secret project to Islamize Europe", and regularly shared posts by far right accounts using similar language to the people who assumed he was an Islamist.
Even after the suspect's identity and beliefs were reported, racists and bigots on X were still blaming Islamists for the attack, or even claiming it was an attempt to "gaslight us" and "we all know why the terrorist carried out the attack".
