Two-thirds of anti-vax propaganda posted online and to social media is created by just 12 so-called influencers, new research has found. Differing from those people who label themselves vaccine-hesitant, anti-vaxxers usually use aggressive methods to push others not to get certain jabs that are designed to help prevent disease. The list was compiled by the Centre for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) and found most of the figures, who claim to be political or medical leaders, are based in America, reports Sky News. The research was used to inform social media platforms of how widespread the different material is and this led to some of the posts being removed. However, many articles and videos still remain available to view now. Critics of the harsh methods say that they believe loopholes are being exploited by the creators. If the anti-vax propaganda is published under a different name or on a page hosted by another user, their content is not removed. Imran Ahmed, the chief executive of the CCDH, told Sky News that social media giants “bear none of the cost for the content” they host, including dangerous material which can drive users to their platforms. He called on the companies to do more to remove it quickly, amid fears that those left unvaccinated remained more vulnerable to COVID-19 infection and, crucially, hospitalisation. Mr Ahmed said that the creators of the anti-vax propaganda are skilled in marketing and using search functions to spread their message, linking to more generic wellness and health posts first before moving into vaccination issues. Mr Ahmed said the algorithms used by social media platforms then fed people more and more similar content until they see it frequently while online – thus normalising the opinions. “All the platforms care about is content that people will spend time on so they can serve them adverts at the same time… they are reluctant to take any credible action,” he said. Ed Stubbs, a teacher who developed a package of lessons designed to tackle vaccine hesitancy in schools, said that because young people spent so much time online they could easily find themselves watching a lot of anti-vax propaganda and content. “Young people obviously look on social media, they see quite a lot of jokes on Instagram and Tik Tok, things like ‘I got my vaccine and then this happened to me’,” he said. “They are jokes and the students would even tell me and be laughing while they say them, but it still has an effect on them and instead of vaccines being something quite dull, boring, and necessary, it’s something that is controversial, weird and slightly alarming.” Mr Stubbs added that labelling people who are vaccine-hesitant as anti-vaxxers can be dangerous, especially in schools, as it drives discussion underground and gives teachers less opportunity to open up conversations which could encourage uptake. He said discussions must remain open and non-judgemental in order to counteract anti-vax propaganda.

Got news for those who are doing the so called studies on this. First and foremost, there are very few if any ANTI VAXXERS, but there are many who are simply pro CHOICE and/or hesitant for very good reason.
Vaccines don’t prevent people from getting or being able to transmit COVID to others. They don’t prevent or stop hospitalizations or deaths from COVID. So what exactly is the point of getting double vaxxed and boosted??? REAL scientist’s and doctors have come out and warned of the very well known adverse effects of the vax that include blood clots, brain bleeds, heart attacks, myocarditis, strokes, neurological disorders and DEATH. The numbers of these problems are not rare and media continues to refuse to discuss them. I see vax injuries all the time in the clinic I work in. Am I an anti vaxxer? NO Am I pro choice? YES. When an experimental gene therapy injection can cause all sorts of adverse effects that can include death it is my opinion that people should be allowed to CHOOSE whether they want to be a part of the experiment. People are basically being required to play Russian Roulette with their health. The immune system designed by our creator is superior in fighting COVID. The numbers show that less than 1 percent of the population dies from or WITH the virus. The rest survive and most never require hospitalization. People should be educated about the risks involved in getting vaxxed. Then let them choose what is best in their own situation. Choosing not to be vaxxed is not the same as being an anti vaxxer.

Hope that these experimental Mnra trials pushers have read the Nuremberg Laws, because they may be charged under them very soon.
The official narrative is breaking down swiftly and daily more and more people are distrusting what the ‘experts’ tell them, plus the numbers of people suffering or dying from taking the jab are being exposed and where not censored, seen by the public.
Anyone who wants to take the jab is welcome to do so, but NOBODY has the right to force anyone who does not want to take the jab be required to, or to be penalized for refusing.
Its a personal choice for each sovereign individual to make after they have researched what others say, in which case Imran Ahmed, the chief executive of the CCDH, is attempting to censor free speech and rational discussion.
Thousands of health professionals who will be soon unemployed (and God help the hospital patients) know what is what regarding medical trials, especially where BigPharma has no liability, and wanted to keep the ingredients secret for 75 years.
A French court recently found in favor of an insurance company, who refused to pay the claim of a billionaire who died after the jab, because they petitioned that he had committed suicide, by taking an experimental vaccine where death is clearly listed as a side effect. So if you are jabbed and die as a result, your insurance is null and void…
Ask me again in 2024, when the trials have been concluded and peer review is available, until then I will trust my God given immune system and natural health.

If full disclosure of information leading upto the manufacturing and deployment of the vaccine was published, then this group would have no platform. But the big pharma and governments have systematically evaded such sensative Information leading to this situation?
