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...

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
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.

Reform's manifesto (or "contract") panders to conspiracy theorists, falsely linking covid vaccines to excess deaths and pledging to "reject" the WEF, WHO and digital currencies.

Unsurprising, given many of their supporters and candidates have rather odd views on these topics. 🧵


Image

Nigel Farage and his Reform Party recently got an endorsement from Laurence Fox of the similarly named Reclaim Party.

Farage even recorded a video with Fox, who has repeatedly compared the Pride flag to the Swastika and promoted Islamophobia.

With friends like these...
Image
Image
Laurence Fox's fiancée also took selfies with Farage while out supporting him in Clacton.

She's recently claimed (amongst many other things) that the pandemic didn't happen and that "they" manipulate the weather to rob us of vital Vitamin D. Right before a heat wave started. 🤦‍♂️

Reform's candidate in Edinburgh South West, Ian Harper, was a vocal backer of ivermectin, and the grifters and frauds who promoted it as a cure for covid. In his bio for Reform, he talks about a "globalist agenda" seeking to "collapse society".

Not the worst thing he's said. 🧵

Image
Image
Image
Ian Harper's first Twitter account was suspended, and he's now locked his second (presumably to stop voters seeing it). Luckily the internet (and its archives) remembers.

Most of his pandemic posts seem to consist of vastly exaggerated claims about the wonders of ivermectin. 🙄


Image
Image
Image
Image
Unsurprisingly Reform's Ian Harper was an enthusiastic supporter of Tess Lawrie, founder of a British group called BIRD which promoted the dewormer ivermectin as a miracle "cure" for covid, much of it based on flawed or outright fraudulent studies.

Reform's candidate in Twickenham is a member of anti-vax misinformation group HART. In leaked chat logs, Alex Starling called vaccinating children "a perverted abomination", and talked about sneaking HART content and campaigns into articles he wrote for UK news site Reaction. 🧵

Image
Image
Image
If you've not come across them before, HART identify as "a group of highly qualified doctors, scientists and other experts" who just "question the narrative". But many of their members believe covid vaccines were designed to depopulate the Earth! 😳

Alex Starling fit right in at HART, calling wearing masks at school "depraved cruelty" and vaccinating children against covid "a perverted abomination". He also repeatedly suggested covid vaccines work in the same way lions "work" on a herd of zebras, "by taking out the weakest".

John Mappin appeared on Russian TV at the weekend, claiming the British public doesn't support Ukraine. Because he spoke to a few friends, and they all love Russia too. 🤷‍♂️

Mappin often retweets Putin's propaganda, and last year claimed he could instantly end the Ukraine war. 🤔
Image
Image
Russian asset / useful idiot John Mappin has also been out campaigning for Nigel Farage in Clacton-on-Sea. Haven't they suffered enough already?

Mappin previously backed Andrew Bridgen, after the MP compared covid vaccines to the Holocaust. Just the man you want on your side. 🤦‍♂️
Image
Image
John Mappin rather optimistically claimed afterwards that Nigel Farage is going to be Prime Minister, hailing him for "one of the most brilliant and sanest speeches in this island's history". 🤪

But then he's already fallen for Scientology, QAnon, and covid conspiracy theories.

The BMJ has had to issue a statement after everyone from The Telegraph and former Brexit Minister David Davis to anti-vaxxers and conspiracy theorists claimed that covid vaccines may be responsible for excess deaths, based on a dubious study published in @BMJPublicHealth. 🧵



Image
Image
Image
Image
The Telegraph's @sarahknapton has a history of this. Two years ago she tried to blame excess deaths (including some covid deaths!) on lockdowns, with a clickbait headline that the article (behind a paywall) failed to support. This is more of the same.

As for the BMJ article that inspired all of this, it simply takes excess death data from 47 "western" countries (ranging from the US and UK to Australia and New Zealand to Bulgaria and Moldova), adds them all up, then engages in a lot of vague arm waving.
