HART's leaked chat logs show members falsely claimed that vaccines caused "carnage", talked about hanging nurses, suggested using unfounded concerns over fertility to put people off vaccination, and discussed ridiculous theories about 5G and magnetism.

HART's co-founder believes the old lie that childhood vaccines cause autism, and profits from "curing" it with homeopathy. Members shared content from anti-vax and extremist groups, including nonsense like covid doesn't exist and vaccines are bioweapons.

When Captain Tom died, HART's founder joked about him leaving his money to Lockdown Sceptics, and members quibbled over whether he had covid, talked about "the Tom agenda" being weaponised, and claimed a global conspiracy to cover up his vaccine status!

This is an index, and I'll be adding new threads to it as I write them.

Believe me, there's plenty more to come! ImageImageImageImage
HART spent months fighting a losing battle to stop under 16s being able to get vaccinated. They worked with other groups to launch legal action, threaten schools with liability, harrass parents and pupils, and even discussed using TikTok to target teens!

HART have links to prominent politicians like Sir Graham Brady (chair of the Tory backbenchers' 1922 Committee) and the Covid Recovery Group, as well as Lord Moonie, "Vaccine Damage Bill" sponsor Christopher Chope, and Reform UK leader Richard Tice.

Despite frequent rants about the media, HART have colluded with everyone from newspaper reporters to @BBCNews presenters, been regularly platformed by TV and radio stations, and have an incestuous relationship with the online media.

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... 🧵 Image
Image
Image
Image
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. 🤷‍♂️ Image
Image
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. Image

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. 🧵 Image
Image
Image
Image
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). Image
Image
Image
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). Image

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. Image

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.

But he has form in this area...

Conspiracy X's meltdown over Trump backing mRNA cancer vaccines is a thing of beauty. 😆

🧵 Image
Image
Image
Image
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. 😆 Image
Image
Image
Image
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"? 🤯 Image

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. 🤨 Image
Image
Image
Image
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... Image
Image
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... Image

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. 🧵 Image
Image
Image
Image
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. Image
Image
Image
Image
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".

Obviously we *don't* know why yet. Image
