HART, their members and related groups have spent all year fighting to block teenagers from being able to get vaccinated, from coming up with ways to put kids and parents off getting vaccinated to threatening schools, councils and medical authorities with legal action. ImageImageImageImage
When Oxford Uni started vaccine trials for children in February, HART members claimed "after this it may be too late for humanity", and suggested "holding to account people trialing it", attacking the ethics committee that authorised it, and "indicting the named investigator"! ImageImageImageImage
By May HART was coordinating with other groups to "thwart the children's jab rollout". Val Fraser sent a wild message to other groups calling it "the biggest existential threat to humanity" and ranting about the "abominable horror" of "experimental medical procedures" in schools. ImageImageImage
Fraser says "it needs to be stopped in its tracks", and that Ros Jones and Liz Evans are already working with other groups to send liability notices to councils and head teachers, and will need "grassroots groups" for leaflet campaigns targeting parents and teenagers. ImageImageImage
Ros Jones reported that she was already coordinating on Telegram with UKMFA, Lawyers 4 Liberty, UsForThem, Anna Brees and others.

Lawyers are preparing injunctions to block approval of vaccinates for children, and Jemma Moran has submitted a parliamentary petition in her name. Image
Although the parliamentary petition is eventually accepted (after some edits), it fails to gain much traction. Harrie Bunker-Smith thinks it's because they had to water it down and it's not anti-vax enough.

Or maybe HART's in a small minority opposing covid vaccines for teens? ImageImage
Psychologist Harrie Bunker-Smith is also responsible for one of HART's most disturbing ideas - a viral TikTok rap video to convince kids it's cool to not get vaccinated!

Patrick Fagan (ex Cambridge Analytica) thinks it's an ethical minefield for kids .. but fine to target teens! ImageImageImage
Another bizarre episode involved Christine Padgham, who repeatedly suggested calling police to report vaccination as "children being experimented on" or "assault / GBH / manslaughter".

She told HART members "if you think it's a crazy idea, say so".
It is. They didn't. ImageImageImageImage
Meanwhile Liz Evans and the UKMFA had sent an open letter to the MHRA raising "grave concerns" about their authorisation of Pfizer for 12-15 year olds.

Ros Jones suggested sending it to all members of the JCVI as well. Malcolm Loudon agreed "they need to feel the heat". ImageImageImageImage
Suspiciously though, Jemma Moran had already heard from "someone in the know" that the JCVI would "come out dead against" vaccinating children.

Outspoken former JCVI member Robert Dingwall recently addressed a parliamentary group with links to Moran and HART. Was he the mole? 🤔 Image
Sure enough, the JCVI kept delaying vaccination for kids, eventually recommending it only for vulnerable children.

Val Fraser claimed HART "played a part" in this by sending letters and threatening schools with liability notices.

But now "we need to get to parents". 😬 ImageImage
As far back as March, Val Fraser was asking HART members to provide material for leaflets that a group was going to hand out to parents at school gates.

More recently, Sarah Waters pestered pupils and parents outside Cornish schools with FutureZ leaflets. It was not popular... ImageImageImageImage
HART may also have links to Safer To Wait, another group hanging around outside schools, annoying parents and teachers.

Fraser (an education adviser for Nottinghamshire council!) uses their slogan in July, and their new website cites HART and several of its members. ImageImage
Meanwhile HART members have also been haranguing their own childrens' schools.

One sent a lengthy letter demanding that his daughter "not attend any classes where you teach Covid-19 jab coercion material", and threatening them with liability if she's somehow vaccinated there. ImageImage
Liz Evans claimed her daughter's classmates were "obsessed with testing, masking and cleaning in a way that would have been considered a mental health disorder", and makes unfounded claims about risks of vaccines causing "neurological disorders or a negative impact on fertility." ImageImage
All of this stems from a crazy belief amongst many HART members that covid vaccines will somehow harm vast numbers of children.

They're "fearful for children of the sheep", talk about protecting their kids from "gene jab fiends", and claim "they" want to "harm our kids". ImageImageImage
Members suggested the JCVI kept putting off vaccinating children because they knew there was a problem ("we can't start killing kids, but what do we say"), and said "anyone with an interest in eugenics would have drawn up" the list of vulnerable children eligible for vaccination. ImageImage
Some of their posts are downright paranoid. Members think police might "snatch children of lockdown sceptics for forced jabs", that parents "will be classed as a danger to your kids if you don't vax them", and stories in the press (and even random adverts in them) are propaganda. ImageImageImageImage
Of course, this is familiar ground for many of HART's members. Several members seem to believe Andrew Wakefield's long discredited lies about the MMR vaccine causing autism.

Co-founder Anna Rayner even claims to treat "vaccine damage" with homeopathy! ImageImageImageImage
Given their often bizarre beliefs and months spent in an echo chamber amplifying each other, it's perhaps inevitable that HART have wasted so much time and effort on a misguided crusade to block parents from having the option to get their children vaccinated if they want to...

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

Proving once again that he'll do anything that gives him an opportunity to promote himself, Aseem Malhotra is appearing at an online "Long COVID masterclass" .. run by a homeopath and featuring several notorious anti-vaxxers, quacks and conspiracy theorists. 🧵
Image
Image
The online event which Aseem Malhotra is taking part in and helping to promote is hosted by an American homeopath and "expert in silver and copper therapeutics", who claims he can cure diseases with herbal medicine and "belief in the Holy Spirit"!

Or in layman's terms, a quack.

Image
Image
Image
Speaking alongside Aseem Malhotra:

1) Judy Mikovits, who's spent the last decade blaming everything from ME and autism to cancer on a retrovirus which she falsely claims is found in vaccines. More recently she starred in the Plandemic series, promoting covid conspiracy theories. Image

Good start to Nigel Farage's life as an MP, as he claims that he gave incorrect information to the Register of Interests. 🤦‍♂️ His first entry in the register says he's paid "£97,928.40 a month" by GB News. But now he claims that sum was for "several months of work". 🤷‍♂️
Image
Nigel Farage is also the only employee of the "company" that GB News pays him through. So the whole setup is just a tax dodge, and any "significant expenses" it generates are likely to be Farage's own personal spending.

Which sounds so much better.

…te.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/076507…
Image
The other highlight of Farage's first Register entry is the £32,836 of travel costs a donor paid for him to fly to America to "support a friend who was almost killed". He is, of course, talking about Donald Trump.

It's not clear how this "represented Clacton on the world stage". Image

Racist thug Tommy Robinson and racist mug Laurence Fox held an ironically named "unite the kingdom" rally in London this weekend. Unsurprisingly lots of conspiracy theorists turned up to support them. 🧵

Image
Image
Image
Alan Miller interviewed Laurence Fox. In the clip Miller defended Tommy Robinson, and claimed that him almost causing a trial to collapse by breaching reporting restrictions was a "free speech" issue. 🤦‍♂️

Miller leads a group of anti-vax and climate change conspiracy theorists.
Image
Image
In another Miller interview, Norman Fenton described former football hooligan Tommy Robinson as a "great heroic patriot", and said he's been "following him for years".

Fenton is a member of anti-vax misinfo group HART, and has accused the ONS of lying to cover up vaccine deaths. Image

Conspiracist X went into overdrive after the attempt on Trump's life yesterday. Within minutes they'd already misidentified the shooter and blamed everyone from the CIA and Mossad to the "Deep State" for the shooting, which sadly claimed the life of a bystander at the rally. 🧵 Image
Conspiracy theorists quickly identified the shooter as "antifa extremist" Mark Violets, saying he posted a video before the attack and had been arrested. None of which was true.

The photo is of an Italian football blogger, and the real shooter was dead.

Several also shared footage of the shooter's body being removed from the stand behind Trump. The actual shooter was on a rooftop 120m away.

Meanwhile one fringe politician randomly speculated that the shooter was close to Trump and using some James Bond-esque poison dart gun.

Last week Andrew Bridgen claimed Ukraine might be working on a dirty bomb to use in a "false flag" attack in Europe. Unsurprisingly his comments have now been amplified by the Russian military and state media, and echoed back by Russian assets and useful idiots here in the UK. 🧵


Image
Image
Image
Andrew Bridgen had an "incredibly productive" meeting with the Russian ambassador in London earlier this year.

Since then he's claimed Rishi Sunak called the election to avoid being a wartime PM, and that Ukraine's planning a "false flag" nuclear attack in Europe "like 9/11". 😳

Image
Image
Image
Meanwhile Russian assets and useful idiots here in the UK have been amplifying these claims of false flag attacks and dirty bombs.

John and Irina Mappin at least are known to have visited the Russian embassy recently, and all frequently share Russian propaganda on social media.
