Better late than never. 🙄 Clare Craig spent most of 2020 claiming we were in a "false positive pseudo epidemic", deleted all her tweets when it became clear she was horribly wrong, then moved on to talking rubbish about vaccines.

She's produced a never-ending stream of wrong... Image
Given Clare Craig's spectacular ability to misinterpret data (all too often because she just hadn't bothered to read the footnotes), it would be easy to chalk this up to incompetence.

But thanks to #hartleaks we know that at least some of the time she was doing it on purpose... Image
But after two years of spreading mis- and disinformation about the pandemic and vaccines, Clare Craig has finally joined fellow HART members such as Tony Hinton, Michael Yeadon (his alt account) and Joel Smalley (twice) in getting kicked off Twitter for breaking their rules.
Unsurprisingly Clare Craig's fellow HART members can't understand why she was removed from Twitter for repeatedly breaking the rules, while their friend Bev Turner inadvertently makes a good case for why Twitter should have banned her much earlier. ImageImageImageImage
Meanwhile the fact that Aseem Malhotra and Jay Bhattacharya think Clare Craig has "impeccable scientific integrity" and that her removal somehow "impoverishes the discussion" probably says more about them than her. ImageImage
Clare Craig's "contribution to the discussion" included false claims about trials of covid vaccines for children, amplified by notorious anti-vaxxers Children's Health Defense.

This video explains how, as usual, she had misread or misrepresented a study:

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.

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.

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
Image
Image
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. 🤦‍♂️
