Inside the Covid-19 anti-vaxx movement making millions by flogging dangerous ideas which could ‘kill tens of thousands’
ALL over the world, scientists are desperately working to produce a Covid-19 vaccine that will end the pandemic and save thousands of lives – but a terrifying number of people already say they won't take it.
Anti-vaxx social media accounts tracked by the Center for Countering Digital Hate now command an audience of over 58million, but the true size of their reach is likely to be much higher. Research published in the Emerging Infectious Diseases journal suggests 82 per cent of a population needs immunity from Covid-19 – either through vaccination or prior infection – to achieve herd immunity, stopping the disease from spreading.
The group, which was founded by a mum-of-two from London, even counts frontline NHS staff among its followers. One group, Autism Mothers, has nearly 200,000 followers and appears to be managed in part by people based in the UK. In one livestream, Icke said: "If 5G continues and reaches where they want to take it, human life as we know it is over… So people have to make a decision."
"I’ve been trashed and ridiculed and abused for 30 years," Icke tells London Real founder Brian Rose, whose own following has reportedly almost doubled from 1.5million in January to over 2.8million now.
