ERR just reported that the “European Conference of Health and Human Rights” backed by several EKRE MPs and featuring high-profile anti-vax figures like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will be held inside Toompea Castle this September.

Many disinformation researchers have documented how the Kremlin amplifies anti-vaccine narratives to fracture trust in Western institutions. Given the timing and the venue, I worry that hosting this event in the heart of Estonian democracy could serve that larger goal.

Have you seen effective playbooks against anti-science campaigns? What actually works on the ground in Estonia?

  1. Apparently there is nothing to do (sadly), it’s not illegal for them to host such events according to our laws.

  2. As an official representative of the French State, you may duly present an official note to our country

  3. Go start a protest infront, start voughing at everybody, tell them you have corona and see how fast they leave ^^^/s ^^^but ^^^not ^^^really

  4. This is very clearly a provocation and aiming to “ban” it only fuels their fire, conspiracy theories and cements the understanding that a corrupt “establishment” is out to get them who stand with the “regular joe”. This is a well crafted narrative and the whole thing reeks of professionalism in that regard.

    So the ONLY way to fight this is silence. Do not play into the trap. Disinformation can only be fought with education, offering critical thinking tools etc.

    Trying to ban someone from exercising freedom of speech while they insinuate the “establishment” is trying to vry their freedom of speech is what we call a blunder in chess. Do not proceed.

  5. Kui see ei lähe jälle maksumaksjale 30 000 eurot maksma, siis on kõik korras. Päev pärast konverentsi on täpselt samasugune nagu enne konverentsi. EKRE ise teab, millega riskib. Valija otsustab paari kuu pärast, et kas selline asi on mõistlik või mitte.

  6. Important to note it’s *held* in the building, it’s not like our Riigikogu attends this. Important distinction! Maybe some do, maybe none of them do except the organisers. Choosing this location is interesting of course in the sense if PR spin but no need to go nuts over this.

  7. 11 september ja antiwax. I see what u did there EKREML!

  8. Mock and belittle the idiots who made it happen. Polite language and facts clearly aren’t working for those flat-earthers.

  9. Mis sinu asi võõramaalane on? You can push back at home. Mind your own fcking business.

  10. It might be part of Zapad 2025 hybrid attacks. Russia has less soldiers so they probably finance hybrid attacks more now.

    The problem is we allow it under the idea of freedom of speech – it is a backdoor.

    It would not be such of a problem if media ignored the event but I am sure our stupid clickmedia with TIKTOKers will play those idiots on full blast.

  11. It’s an alternative health conference until you host 4 fascists. After that it becomes a fascist conference.

  12. Gather 10 people in front of the Parliament. All news will go nuts about it and say “big protest in front of the Parliament”, and you’ll get the exposure you are craving for.

    Seriously dude, who cares. Let them express their views. As long as there are no laws forcing me to do or not do something, I genuinely don’t care what happens in there. I am not getting paid for it.

  13. If the parliament building can be used for anything, how about a magic the gathering tournament

  14. MPs have a right to host events at the place. If we block this one, then they will start blocking events other parties host as revenge. The best way is to elect anyone but these clowns.
