Reform UK Conference: Anti-Vax Misinformation Doctor Given Prime Health Slot

19 comments

1. The most cynical part of the right wing grift is anti-vax sentiment.

   Relitigating one of the few policy areas where there’s near universal acceptance in service of creating culture wars to fuel your own brand of grievance-based politics is despicable considering the consequences it will have.

2. New UK Secretary of State for Health and Social Care right there..

3. The controversial cardiologist Aseem Malhotra, accused by critics of spreading anti-vax misinformation laden with conspiracy theories, will give the only health-related address on the main stage of the Reform Party conference this weekend.

   Leading doctors have urged Reform leader, Nigel Farage, not to put lives in danger by handing Malhotra – who claims that mRNA COVID vaccines did more harm than good – a prime conference slot.

   The British cardiologist is chief medical adviser to MAHA Action, a US campaign group advocating the “Make America Healthy Again” agenda of Robert F Kennedy Jr, US President Donald Trump‘s secretary of health and human services.

4. This is basically MAGA.

   Surely we can’t be that hateful and dumb as a country.

   Surely.

5. Farage is nothing but Trump from wish.com. He’s doing exactly the same thing Trump has done with RFK Jr. Can’t even come up with his own ideas because he’s a weak yellow toothed drunk.

6. Honestly I’m not surprised at all. They’ve also been going hard on climate denial too. We are fucked.

   > We are about to undeclare the climate emergency that was declared in Kent in 2019. By undeclaring the climate emergency we can take out all the net zero commitments.

7. At this point, I firmly believe the anti-vax movement, is backed by the powers that be, who will use preventable disease as a form of population control.

   It’ll save the government UBI payments.

8. Fantastic! It’s bad enough that parents choose not to vaccinate their kids putting newborns at risk bc the illnesses that was controlled are now back for example measles and whooping cough. I read a report where a new baby died bc they were too young to be vaccinated but caught whooping cough. People in a position to lead this county giving anti vaxers a platform will lead to carnage!

9. They’re going to make us sick and unwell, no Vax for kids, no reproductive rights for women and be surrounded by fracked seeped water supplies as our NHS is sold off to American equity firms.

   The grand reform vision

   A sea of malnourished ethnically homogenous British kids with measles and whooping cough running up chimneys as we introduce child labour to offset the lack of immigrant labour in the country

10. Copying US politicians…

    Put a spray tan on your face, Farage.

11. Sickening – he should be arrested and charged for the harm he caused.

12. Playing to his conspiracy theorist supporters here then. His lot are the same people burning down 5G masts, talking about ‘the great replacement’ and those who believe the Earth is flat. What is one more conspiracy theory to them? It will get him more votes and his supporters will think he believes the same nonsense they do.

13. How can you be “antivax” and still a registered doctor? I thought GMC rules required evidence based practice.

14. When Farage talks about wanting a cabinet not made up of MPs, but “experts”; this is exactly who he will draft in, along with his fossil fuel buddies for energy, etc etc.

15. What kind of anti-vax is he? Actual anti-vax, like thinks the MMR vaccination causes autism, or Reddit anti-vax, i.e. declined to take the covid jab and thought all the coercion was a bit much?

16. I absolutely fucking despair that this lot are leading in the polls.

    Shame on anyone stupid enough to give these nasty grifters their vote.

17. Are they going to get Right Said Fred in as consultants?

18. Oh great. They’re lining up our version of the brain worm guy. We are in the worst timeline.

19. This is why Reform are dangerous. You may agree with their immigration stance, but their stance on everything else is batshit crazy.
