Where have all the anti-vaxxers gone?

[AuroraSaab]

I didn't particularly get the impression the idiots harassing Chris Whitty were anti-vaxxers. They looked more like the kind of oiks who would harass anybody they saw who they didn't like, or who was mildly famous, simply because they found it amusing.

At the very least I hope they are named and shamed.

I wonder if the reduced take up amongst the Polish community is because they are a younger demographic than most, and thus don't feel as worried about catching it, or if it's just language problems or not being registered at a GP. Younger people are a lot more blasé about it I have found. They don't seem as concerned about catching it or killing grandma.

They have been named and shamed, idiots of the highest order. An utter disgrace dregs of society .

Numpties have been identified and one of them has lost his job. Claimed they meant no harm and were just having a larf wanting a selfie and have apologised (bit late, nobbers)
One report said they had been to the anti vax march, so either anti vaxxers, complete muppets or both

Not sure they are utter dregs (there are plenty worse) but rather thick, inconsiderate, unthinking young white men (and probably women) of which there seem to be more and more these days

hopefully they've learnt a lesson about what is acceptable and not actually funny

Now this I can get behind!

The people who assaulted Chris Whittey seemed to think that as he is a known person then they were perfectly entitled to get a selfie with him
and that he should co-operate - they were in fact entitled to his co-operation


total numpties

One has lost his job as an Estate Agent - although I suspect 'assistant in an Estate Agent shop' may be a better description
Anyway - hope he likes stacking shelves in ASDA or delivering pizzas on a bike

I have trouble believing this 'movement' is real - more like a comedy thing to show how dumb conspiracy theories can be

EXCEPT

that in the current climate people seem to grab hold of something and go 'all in' on it and the next thing you know the whole thing has become a real movement of true believers
I really can't tell where on that slippery slope this thing is up to

If it is all satire - it is really well done!

I suspect many of these things started as satire. At one point Patrick Moore joined the Flat Earth Society and was talking about it on TV as it appealed to his sense of whimsy and silliness. He left soon after when he was doubtless horrified to discover they actually believed it.

 

[ebikeerwidnes]

It all seems very convincing

Unless you look carefully rather than just read it - oh - and you need to think a bit
not much - just a bit

I can see how the 'hard of thinking' can really start to believe this stuff

Some Flat earthers use him joining as proof it's true, then ignore the fact he left and thinking it was people having a laugh.

Saw many posting these yesterday.

My Uncle sent this one to my mother.

So yea they’re around.

Edit had to blue out a bad word on first image.

I was at Kings Hospital yesterday.
There was a group of about 4 people with drums and megaphones giving it large.
It really was pathetic seeing them shouting at the Doctors and Nurses as they arrived for work.

When I had my 2nd Pfizer shot as I left the premises there were anti vax’ers handing out leaflets at the exit!

I said it kinda shows there mentality the leaflet got thrown in the bin in full view which triggered them.

You should produce a counter leaflet urging people to protect themselves from those who cannot spell.
