Speaking at the protests were several renowned right-wing conspiracy theorists, including David Icke, Katie Hopkins - who just got refused entry to Australia for refusing to produce COVID-19 documentation - and Gillian McKeith. The protest, dubbed a "worldwide rally for freedom," in London's Trafalgar Square was held five days after England lifted most of its COVID restrictions. Kate Shemirani, a former nurse who was struck off the Nursing and Midwifery Council in June 2021 for spreading COVID misinformation, addressed the crowd. She told them: "Get their names [of doctors and nurses]. Email them to me. With a group of lawyers, we are collecting all that. At the Nuremberg Trials, the doctors and nurses stood trial, and they hung. If you are a doctor or a nurse, now is the time to get off that bus... and stand with us, the people," reported The Independent. Shemirani's comments have caused a major uproar - not just for endangering and undermining the efforts of healthcare workers in the pandemic - but also for their antisemitic overtones. The Nuremberg Trials were a series of military tribunals held after World War II to convict Nazis of their war crimes, including six million Jews and other minorities for medical trials. The documentation from the Nursing and Midwifery council's case against Shemirani shows the scale of her conspiratorial beliefs - including stating that "you can't catch a virus," describing the "genocidal" NHS as "murdering patients," and claiming that vaccines have been "rushed through" because "they want to kill you." Joining Shemirani was David Icke, an infamous conspiracy theorist who told crowds, "staggering numbers of people worldwide will die from the fake vaccination." He added: "It's the pandemic of the fake vaccinated." Piers Corbyn - brother of the former Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn - also spoke, saying, "you're much more likely to die or get ill from the jab that you are from COVID." The UK has one of the highest vaccination rates globally, with 80% of adults have received at least one dose and 55.4% both. These rates are linking to low hospitalization in the UK. Following on from this, found an interesting thread on Twitter relating to sound bites of the conspiracy theorists mentioned above along with a few more besides. Genuinely don’t know whether to laugh or cry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 The latest chat is that Spain, Greece and Portugal are being put on the UK's "amber+" list which just seems completely bizarre / wrong when they are all much less than the UK and are all reducing by the day, unlike the UK. Surely the aviation industry, media and general public should start to make a stand here as it's tantamount to keeping people imprisoned in the country so as they will spend their money here as opposed to elsewhere. As for the compulsory testing even for the double jagged, again, it's just pure profiteering and another way of keeping people here by making it so difficult and expensive to even attempt a holiday abroad. Utter nonsense, the lot of it !!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like the fact that some people have chosen not to be vaccinated, but ultimately they have autonomy over their own body and should have the right to do so without being excluded from society as a result. I don't accept that your rights to be in a public place outweigh any other person's rights, regardless of medical status. It absolutely is a step towards authoritarianism to restrict access to places to completely healthy people based on the possibility that they might have a virus. I have kept myself out of harm's way by getting vaccinated and thus vastly reducing my (probably already low) chances of serious illness, and I am content that that is sufficient protection for me without advocating for shutting other people out of places where I will be going. All of that is even before we consider the potential for indirect discrimination here, given that many minorities and marginalised groups are more likely to be vaccine hesitant based on historical medical abuse of their communities. craigkillie - the anti-vaxers’ friend. -10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not arguing this through malice but rather it will minimise the spread of Covid which in turn will lead to a return to normality. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If such folk were only a risk to themselves I really couldn’t care less but a virus doesn’t work like that.The vaccines dont work like that either. The virus is, in the case of at least one of them, considered more a threat to the younger cohort than the virus. They can still catch, they can still spread. So can you. There is absolutely no case for setting the precedent that folk have to prove their medical history to get by a door. Some folk still seem to think shrieking that THIS IS NOT THE FLU is some sort of moral high ground, but it is actually now very similar to the flu. We have never mandated flu vaccines. No one has ever tried, and its never been a mainstream point of discussion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that, but my risk of being infected to a serious degree is limited by being vaccinated, if they want to take the risk then they can batter in but I will not be shedding a tear if they come to a sticky end. It is their choice & I personally choose to be as protected as I can possibly be while still getting on with my life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
