Silver Posted January 16, 2022 #1 Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) Counter-terrorism officials and police are increasingly concerned over the trajectory of the UK’s anti-vaxxer movement as it evolves towards violent extremism and the formation of US-style militias. Boris Johnson is among those receiving direct security updates on individuals prepared to “undermine national health security”. The movement’s more extreme elements are recruiting and strategising over the encrypted social media messaging app Telegram, with one UK anti-vaxxer channel asking for “men of integrity” to “fight for our children’s future”. Anti-vaxxers have targeted scores of schools and recently stormed a Covid testing site. They were led by Britain’s most visible activist, Piers Corbyn, who subsequently urged people to burn down the offices of MPs who backed new restrictions.

Guest Br Cornelius Posted January 16, 2022 #6 Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) Its well documented at this stage: Quote Daily Mail reporters have infiltrated a 200-strong group of military veterans called Veterans 4 Freedom, whose Telegram conversations revolve around the – part threat, part fantasy – staging of a violent insurrection in which vaccination centres are shut down and their staff harmed. The anti-vax movement has, in short, become a magnet for people engaged in anti-truth and anti-science politics, and an open conduit to the extreme right. Surveying press photography of the 28 August demos, it is clear that this is not the demographic of the Brexit Party – elderly white conservatives – and nor is it the demographic of Extinction Rebellion: educated, progressive, young and old. https://www.newstatesman.com/science-tech/2021/09/the-new-alliance-between-anti-vaxxers-and-the-far-right-is-a-deadly-threat-2 The fact that a far-right fanboy on UM thinks otherwise is frankly irrelevant.
