Discussion: UK anti-vaxx 'freedom' morons, protests and QAnon idiots

it'd serve him right if he got covid after being in that ward and had to be admitted to hospital.

Considering he was wandering around that ward without a mask, I'd say the chances are very very high.

Fingers crossed. He might even end up with a superinfection with multiple different strains. That'd be a shame.

Watch the video. I'm generally against violence but fucking hell...

I really feel for the patient and to some very tiny degreee the family even though they act like this. I can see it in the context of fear. The absolute scum bag taking advantage of them and spouting all the stuff off though. I'd really have struggled to keep my cool with him. Massive respect to the staff.

Following the appeal that generated hundreds of calls, police arrested Toby Hayden-Leigh, the hospital nutter, on suspicion of causing a public nuisance, together with another man on suspicion of assisting an offender.

Our local "village covidiot" was up to his tricks a few days ago.

Virtually everybody that saw him yelled words to the effect of some or all of "put a mask on, go wash your hands, keep away from me" and "shut up with the conspiracy ballocks" ...

The local PCSO moved him on, and favoured him with some "words of advice" including a warning that she would get him nicked for causing an obstruction / behaviour likely to cause a breach of the peace if he didn't knock it off.

 

[lazythursday]

Ours seem to have gone a lot quieter of late, at least that's my perception. Some of them have a place where they hang out - the exception in the rules for 'therapy' stretched to the limit - and it is infuriating to see people going in and out all day without masks - but I am holding out hope for a nasty superspreader event.

They're missing a trick, should definitely be NON-EMERGENCY HIGHLY NON-EXPLOSIVE COMPLETELY ROUTINE PLANNED MAINTENANCE TEAM to help avoid public panic.

I'm sure I saw one and it said "CHEM TRAIL SUPPLIES" on one side and "BILL GATES TRCKING VACCINES" on the other.

I haven’t seen anything of local nutters of this kind where I am. Though I’ve hardly been out tbf.

It would be so great if they could just distribute the vaccine in the chemtrails.

Yoga and anti-vaxx loons

The historical links between yoga and New Age pursuits and extremist politics are well-documented, including Nazi Germany’s interest in astrology and alternative medicine and the way yoga has sometimes served as inspiration to fascist ideology, including in Britain.

The yoga world is riddled with anti-vaxxers and QAnon believers

In my day job, I monitor the spread of online disinformation and conspiracy theories. I never expected to find them at my yoga class

If anything's going to stop me resuming Yoga classes again, it's stories like the above!

TBF, laziness was also a big factor in not taking it up again, after the last many years of not doing it!

Further lurking in daily to the facebook group (one of many. MANY) - the 99% Against Corruption. Some of the grimmest reading possible at the moment. People laughing because they truly believe the vaccine is 'killer juice' and that anyone who takes it is lambs to slaughter. Others having earnest and thorough conversations about how the virus was created to roll out communism (the Great Reset). I have also delved into the facebook histories of some of the folk, the movie tends to go: (Before virus) picture of person on beach, picture of person hiking, picture of person fixing motor bike, picture of person holding a pint aloft in a pub. (after virus): just endless links to the most deranged 'theories' you can imagine, with an almost bloodthirsty sneer at us 'sheep' who are following the rules. The difference in before/after is chalk and cheese. Like a weird inverse of the Zen Buddhist idea of 'sudden enlightenment'. - otherwise 'ordinary' people suddenly sucked into a bizarre otherworldly matrix. if they are not slamming the scientists and NHS, it's the mainstream media. I honestly think the phrase 'do your research' has the most lexical occurrence on the whole page.

would love to see some data on the prevalence of this stuff.

I am unsure on how people can be so sure of themselves in the face of a near perfect scientific consensus? How can you be willing to risk others' life just on the basis of some things you have read on the internet?

It makes bizarre reading. Hoping that it's the 'ol empty vessels make the most noise' explanation.

This bloke was a disgusting across the board red-brown conspiracist, a vocal internet beelyite i.e anti-semite, holocaust questioning, the white helmets are ISIS, Assad is our king, the chemical attacks didn't happen, the regime didn't kills tens of thousands of civilians in indiscriminate barrel bombings - and if they did they were terrorists anyway. He was an active duper a well as being duped. I wonder how the rabid Cohen missed this given that this sort of stuff is his stock in trade nowadays.

BigMoaner they often refer to themselves as "the enlightened"
