    'Crisis actor' conspiracy theory: How anti-vax activists targeted a Covid patient

    _122606430_6_marianna_spring-nc.png

    A man was targeted with hundreds of abusive messages after being featured in a year-end BBC News report. The source? Anti-vaccine activists who falsely believed he was a so-called "crisis actor" pretending to be sick with Covid-19.

    <laugh>

    That's exactly what most people would do in between dying of covid and giving BBC interviews.

    Change your LinkedIn to Crisis actor as a laugh.

    <doh>

    This story came out early December not sure why MSM have all jumped on it now

    We are witnessing an outbreak of rampant mentalism not seen since medieval times.

    The poorly educated peasants of the time spouted all sorts of paranoid gibberish about the Black Death. Or "flu" as 14th century hermit philosopher Duncan the Dim told everyone it was, after reading some right wing chicken's entrails.

    Not as bad as the poor stewards at football games getting paid minimum wage. Wee 16 year old girls are telling them "to go **** yourself" when they ask for Covid passport. What chance have they got asking a grown man full of Buckfast?

    It isn't the ticket guy's job to check covid pish, I think they have stewards inside that you are meant to show just after getting in the ground. I could be completely wrong though. @Lochers or @Toley Fart will know. I think most turnstiles are automatic these days anyway.

    In the Republic of Sturgeon, the clubs with average attendances of over 10,000, were obliged to check 20% of patrons had covid passes...

    At the Quintessential British Club, they basically set up a cordon at a stand, far away from the turnstiles and asked some minimum wage asylum seeker to check the customer's papers.

    Seeing fat old men, desperate to show some **** who probably got here hanging off the bottom of a lorry, their covid pass, was another low for me... "look... look, Ikemba, I've been a good boy and done what the chief Mammy told me to do"

    Covid: Vaccines for all every four to six months not needed, says expert.

    Prof Pollard told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "It really is not affordable, sustainable or probably even needed to vaccinate everyone on the planet every four to six months.

    "We haven't even managed to vaccinate everyone in Africa with one dose so we're certainly not going to get to a point where fourth doses for everyone is manageable."

    There is not "full certainty" on whether another booster might be needed in the UK, added Prof Pollard, director of the Oxford Vaccine Group.

    He said the UK would be in a good position if variants continued to lead to milder disease, as has been the case with Omicron.

    "We may well need to have boosters for the vulnerable in the population but I think it's highly unlikely that we'll have programmes going forwards regularly of boosting everyone over the age of 12," he added.

    Prof Pollard said those who would need further boosters were likely to be older adults or those with health conditions.

    "There will be new variants after Omicron," he added. "We don't yet know how they're going to behave - and that may completely change the view on what the right thing to do is."

    Prof Pollard is chair of the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI), which advises the government on vaccines, but he has no involvement in decision-making on Covid-19 vaccinations in the UK.
