Yes… “antivaxxer protest” dates it pretty accurately.
Eh, they're still a thing. Guys like Tim Pool are going on about it again, likely in hopes that there'll be a resurgence in Covid this winter and they can say "see I told you the deep state (or whoever) will try to control us with this again".
And with some new mutant covid going around it's possible we could see hospitals overwhelmed this winter, necessitating mask mandates and possibly even lockdowns again. The covid denier grifters are monitoring covid news and refreshing their conspiracy theories already.
They’re not a thing in the UK anymore - outside of this they never really were. And I can’t see them starting up again tbh. There’s no political us vs them about it, they’re not mandatory - even for healthcare staff. What is there possibly to protest about? If you want to risk your life and the lives of everyone around you, you can go right ahead without any blowback or censure.
Like I say that's just how things are right now. If the new mutant covid starts straining the healthcare system again measures to mitigate it will come back. There will be protests again because the Tim Pool grifter types are everywhere to capitalize on it.
Could happen again this winter, hopefully not, but we should be ready for it. The anti-vaxers are certainly being prepped to make shitshow out of things again.
Are you talking about in the UK? I disagree. I just don’t see that happening because there won’t be anything to protest. I don’t think we’ll go back into lockdown again no matter how bad it gets. At most they‘ll recommend wearing masks again, tell the vulnerable to shield, put capacity limits on indoor venues, and restrict visits to hospitals and care homes. Very worse case scenario they might urge people to WFH/stay at home and maybe reintroduce bubbles at schools.
I can believe it of American because antivaxx views correlate with political views and the US is so divided politically that it almost doesn’t matter what it’s about, people will argue over it. But without that aspect to it in the UK there just isn’t anything to protest.
Doesn't matter what it's about‽ Argue over it‽‽ NO YOU'RE WRONG!!!
Love, your American friend.
Given how badly we fucked up with COVID in the UK, odds are many of those people are now dead.
