The way covid and all the other culture wars disinformation is being combined with religion is incredibly worrying, the size of the audience, and number of politicians willing to embrace these narratives is deeply worrying
So for those in the UK need to take the threat more seriously of those repeating US talking points
Coup, Globalists, the far right always needs an existential threat
BTW Farage derogatorily referring to a Jewish MP as Globalist..🤔
Earlier this year Farage appeared on the Awakening tour, he suggested the US election had been stolen and said there was large scale fraud in UK elections, he then told them to be ready to fight in the upcoming battle
It's incredible @gmcuk haven't acted, are they scared of the backlash?
If they act they will face the full fury of the antivaxxers, they will target individuals while Toby Youngs well resourced Free Speech Union will throw the lawyers at them
We saw how MPs reacted to PayPal taking action against Toby Young and UsForThem, Rees-Mogg as Business Secretary threatened PayPal with the power of the British state, now pushing to change the law to force PayPal to abandon its terms and conditions
Fascinating how a government that claims to hate regulation and wants to strip away much of our employment and environmental protections is at the same point willing to quickly jump to the defence of Toby Young and Molly Kingsley
🧵So this is where Heneghan and Jefferson have ended. Hosting a conference with conspiracy theorist vibes
"Governments collude with big tech/fact checkers to control public information"
2/ Heneghan complains about being silenced...
Throughout 2020 he appeared in UK media on an almost daily basis, sometimes multiple outlets a day, he got his own articles in the Spectator etc in September 2020 he had a private meeting with UK gov …terdisinformationproject.substack.com/p/expose-the-e…
3/ Heneghan and Jefferson were also receiving funding from the WHO to research covid transmission, of course Heneghan still argues masks don't work bylinetimes.com/2021/05/07/top…
1/ Considering how horrific ebola is, what I really dont understand is why anyone would not want to play safe with a respirator when dealing with a confirmed case, just in case
2/ I'm seeing people say it's not airborne, then saying it's not the main driver of transmission, the infection moves from the lungs to elsewhere so it isn't airborne
I also see people explaining the difference between modes of transmission and transmissibility
3/I'm sure many people like me are looking at this thinking, oh here we go again.
Some people highlight the mistakes made with covid, other people point out claims of a monkey pox apocalypse that hasn't occurred, although the CDC now appear to be saying MPX is now endemic
This is some disingenuous BS, he's a member of Pandata where his fellow colleagues are the one responsible for promoting this crap.
He attended an event by AFLD, was guest speaker at CNP
Did he ever tell these ppl to stop putting out nonsense
He wasn't that involved in the HART chats but he will have seen the crazy conspiracy theories they were sharing, when did he intervene?
Has he ever called out Yeadon, Bhakdi,or anyone else?
No he's facilitated them
"If you didnt censor the people I was working with then no one would have listened to them"
The level of cognitive contortion required to still frame himself in the centre of the picture as the victim is next level
Interesting that Ladhani thought it was worth retweeting considering he also found Hoeg's redo of a CDC study good enough to declare the debate on masks over (they don't work in schools)
