I see HART are openly calling for a halt to covid vaccinations for 12-15 year olds, in the process spreading disinformation and recycling quotes they and their partner groups fed to "useful idiots" in Parliament.

Part of a long running anti-vax campaign.

Their latest story tries to scare teens and parents by talking about myocarditis (which is both more common and more severe after catching covid) and menstrual cycle disruption (which they play up, despite millions of women being vaccinated with no evidence of long term issues).
HART have previously discussed using widely discredited claims of covid vaccines supposedly causing fertility problems to put young women off getting vaccinated.

PS: the "wonderful doctor" they cite here is a far right extremist, arrested for taking part in the US Capitol riots.
They quote Miriam Cates MP, a supporter of UsForThem, one of the groups working with HART to undermine the vaccination programme.

The groups feed lines to gullible MPs who regurgitate them on cue, then the same groups quote back their own talking points!

They also cite the "Safer To Wait" campaign as if it's a separate entity. It isn't. It's been backed by HART since the start and laughably lists several prominent HART members as "highly qualified doctors and scientists" who "should be listened to". Nope.

None of this should come as a surprise given that some HART members (including their co-founder) are long term anti-vaxxers, and many of them frequently quote content from anti-vax groups, quacks, extremists, terrorists and conspiracy theorists.

Covid denier Mark Sexton claims to have had a meeting with a "senior Conservative MP", also attended by Dolores Cahill, Anna de Buisseret, and a dozen other assorted fruitcakes.

Here's a quick who's who of the ones willing to be named...

h/t @firstname738951
Mark Sexton is an ex copper who now wastes his former colleagues' time by making vexatious crime reports against government ministers and claiming PCR tests are a terrorist attack. 🙄

Odd chap for a Tory MP to be meeting. But wait, there's more...

conservativewoman.co.uk/this-retired-p…
Anna de Buisseret is a HART member who even other HART members suspect is having some kind of mental breakdown.

She's the one who keeps banging on about Nuremberg Trials and hanging nurses...

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.
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"!
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.

One of HART's central claims is that vaccination drove surges in deaths around the world. But looking at data for England broken down by age and region, it's clear there's absolutely no correlation (let alone causation) between them.

Merely a coincidence in timing.
Here's London (top) and North West (bottom) by age, for example.

Vaccinations in over 60s are spread over several weeks, and jabs in each group peak at the same time in both regions.

But deaths peak simultaneously in all over 60s, and peak in the North West a week after London.
It's even clearer if you look at individual age groups. While vaccination in the over 80s just happens to coincide with deaths, there's no lag. And in every other age group deaths rise and peak BEFORE vaccination.

Here's the South East, for example. Again, no consistent pattern.

Meanwhile across the Atlantic, far right group America's Frontline Doctors is raking in money by selling ivermectin to people who believe their anti-vax nonsense.

Many say they never received their orders or even got the initial phone consultation they paid for.

h/t @Aw_what
While they wait for unapproved medicines that never arrive and consultations that never happen, some people taken in by AFD are getting seriously ill with covid, or resorting to taking ivermectin pills intended as deworming tablets for livestock. With sometimes dire consequences.
Another scam is selling bogus legal aid to people who refuse to accept mask and vaccine mandates at work.

Again, many never receive the legal support they paid for, and if they do it's often completely useless.

Some are in danger of losing their livelihoods because of this con.

Unsurprisingly many people signing the "Together Declaration" against covid passes are HART members with bizarre views on the subject.

Liz Evans, for example, keeps making crazy claims that vaccination causes surges in deaths all over the world which governments blame on covid.
Joel Smalley has spent months ranting and raving, drawing random lines on graphs, trying to convince everyone that covid vaccines are somehow responsible for vast numbers of deaths.

He even claimed death rates in US children were at least 100 times higher than they really were!
Anna de Buisseret describes herself as a "trained assassin", and keeps going off on wild rants about nurses being hanged for war crimes, people supposedly clamouring for her to launch Nuremberg Trials, and nutty conspiracy theories involving Bill Gates and the World Bank.

The Event Research Programme report is finally out, with eye opening data on covid rates amongst those watching the Euros Final at Wembley on July 11.

2,295 attendees may have been infectious at the time of the game, and 3,404 may have caught it there.

gov.uk/government/new…
That's out of an official attendance of about 75,000 people (including ticket holders and staff).

But with chaotic scenes outside the stadium and some "fans" breaking through security, the total number in or around Wembley stadium will have been higher.

google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.…
Still, if we take those figures at face value, up to 3% of people attending the game had covid at the time, and another 4.5% caught it around the time of the match.

Community prevalence was 1% - 1.4% in the weeks before and after the game, according to the ONS Infection Survey.
