Anti-vaxxer warns doctors and nurses of execution by hanging for administering life-saving vaccines

The conspiracy theories promoted by anti-vaccine activists reached a fevered pitch during a Saturday rally.

Conspiracy theorist Kate Shemirani suggested there could be Nuremberg-like trials where doctors and nurses would be hanged for administering the coronavirus vaccines, which promoted one British doctor to alert London's Metropolitan Police Service.

1. That's a special brand of cray cray. No loons like English loons.

But then the US has Mercola, Adams, and The Avocado Man.

2. Mercola is in it for the ca$h.

He isn't really a loon.

He's a con man.

3. A conman and he believes his own bullshit. So that makes him a loon in my book.

4. This is crazy to the nth degree

Even scarier than US crazies. They’re even talking about jailing the Queen.

5. Hey, Nurse! Oh.. sorry. EX-nurse. Fuck off.

7. Her own son doesn't speak to her

BBC has an interview with him.

10. Looks like she spends a lot of time at the hair salon and spa.

Just like a certain ousted American political family.

12. My VERY first thought was that she looks like one of those Dump family harridans.

11. Someone really, really needs attention....

and will do loony shit to get it. It doesn't matter how nutty or how false, since it's the attention that matters. She's got some serious psychological issues that need to be addressed.

15. "Nurses who made the accusations against her did so because they were overweight and jealous"

Shemirani was struck off the nursing register by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) in June after months of suspension for spreading misinformation. A fitness-to-practise panel determined that Shemirani was no longer a “safe or effective” practitioner, reported the Nursing Times.

It also concluded that her behaviour had fallen “seriously short of the standards expected of a registered nurse and amounted to misconduct”.

At an interim NMC hearing last year, she claimed the nurses who made the accusations against her did so because they were overweight and jealous, reported The Times.

“The fact that I was always graced with decent looks and I’m always very slim and I’ve been very successful has generated a little bit of jealousy throughout my career,” she said.

6. Leave it to the Brits to choose the most boring anticlimactic way to do something

They French have the guillotine which at least has some flare, some style to it.

Merica, hell we barbecue them or and least blast away at them.

8. Right wingers sure do like to talk about people getting hanged.

Creepy. And weird.

9. England is the home of the rabid anti-vivisectionists

...who would rail on about the horrible tortures they would inflict on scientists who used animals for research. That was offered in my college psych 101 textbook as literally the textbook example of projection.

13. It is happening in Australia too

And our Prime minister doesn't censure or condemn them in any way.

14. The police are investigating whether this was an offence

The Met said in a statement given to Sky News: "We are aware of video circulating online showing a speech that occurred during a rally in Trafalgar Square.

"Officers are carrying out inquiries to establish whether any offences have been committed.

"No arrests have been made."
...
Mayor of London Sadiq Khan tweeted: "This is utterly appalling, and I have raised it directly with the Met Police. Our NHS staff are the heroes of this pandemic and Londoners from across this city roundly reject this hate."
