Anti-vaxx protesters ambush BBC correspondent and tell him 'the nooses are ready' A shocking video of the encounter shows Norton being approached by a protester with a loudspeaker, who told him he would “hang” and the “trials would be coming on the first of September”. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/anti-vaxx-protesters-ambush-bbc-24868483 A BBC journalist was targeted by anti-vaccine protesters who mobbed him and told him that he would “hang” yesterday. Philip Norton, a BBC Look North reporter, was targeted by the protesters yesterday while on the job reporting on the protest action in Scarborough, North Yorkshire yesterday. A shocking video of the encounter shows Norton being approached by a protester with a loudspeaker, who told him he would “hang” and the “trials would be coming on the first of September”. "You will hang for what you’ve done to this country, and so will the clown, and so will the despicable MPs that you are supporting. The nooses are ready, trust me,” he said. "We’ve been watching you for a long time, you are criminals. "We're not going to be violent, we're not going to intimidate you, but you have no place to be out here right now.” The angry anti-vaxxer said that he had travelled 50 miles “just to get” to the BBC team. “You ain’t gonna be able to walk the streets, trust me,” he added. Norton shared the video online, along with two tweets explaining why he had shared the aggressive scenes with his followers, and another video, the news report he produced that day. “Today I went out to work in Scarborough, with a great team, and produced this piece for @BBCNews. I’m always incredibly proud of my work as a journalist, of its accuracy, and of our standards. It’ll be on again later,” he said. “This is what we were subjected to in our roles as #journalists today. Ambushed and cornered by protesters, death threats, labelled as paedophiles and murderers,” he said. “We’re all ok and well supported, but sadly this is happening more and more as we try to do our jobs.” “I’ve called this out because in recent years, it’s almost become ‘part of the job’ to get abuse in the streets. Most weeks I cop for some, as do my colleagues,” he continued. “That’s not right. We appreciate everyone has views- but this really isn’t the way to get people to listen.” The video of Norton being ambushed continues to show other protesters in the background shouting "scumbags" and "complicit". One woman in the background is wearing a blue shirt printed with the slogan ‘unmasked, unmuzzled, unvaccinated, unafraid’. Toward the end of the clip, Norton pans around the crowd, capturing more protesters yelling at him from all sides. The shocking footage comes just a week after crowds of anti-vaxxers stormed the ITN building in London and chased after presenter Jon Snow. More than 100 people were pictured inside the building, which is home to the news divisions of ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5. (Article has video of unhinged anti-vaxxers)

Welsh teen in hospital with Covid targeted online by anti-vaxxers 17-year-old accused of being an “actress paid by the government” after urging young people to get vaccinated https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...al-with-covid-targeted-online-by-anti-vaxxers A 17-year-old in hospital with coronavirus has said she has been targeted by anti-vaxxers and conspiracy theorists on social media after urging young people to have the vaccine. Maisy Evans said she has been accused of being a “liar” and an “actress paid by the government” by online trolls. The teenager has had symptoms including dizziness, shortness of breath, headaches, a loss of smell and taste, as well as suffering a Covid-related blood clot on her lung. She tested positive for the virus on 14 August, three days after having her first Pfizer jab. However, doctors have insisted her illness and her blood clot are unrelated to the vaccine. Evans, from Newport, south Wales, told Sky News: “I’ve had to deal with a lot of anti-vaxxers and conspiracy theorists which is deeply frustrating. “I’ve been called a liar, an actress paid by the government to push certain agendas, Satan, a Nazi, evil, and so many more things. “It’s totally uncalled for.” Evans was admitted to hospital on 25 August and after undergoing numerous blood tests, X-rays and CT scans, a Covid-related blood clot was discovered on her right lung. The former member of the Welsh youth parliament is being treated at the Grange university hospital in Cwmbran. Evans said she feared she would die when her oxygen levels “dropped dramatically” after contracting coronavirus and the symptoms left her struggling to stand up without getting out of breath. She added it now takes her an hour to recover from having a shower. “It feels as if I’ve run 40 miles. “I’ve probably had every possible symptom. I’ve had the cough, the high temperature, the shakes, the sickness, the dizziness, the shortness of breath, the excruciating headaches, the body aches. You name a symptom – it’s hit me. “I even lost my sense of smell and taste. Most of these symptoms have eased but the breathlessness is definitely still an issue. It was one of the last symptoms to develop.” The podcaster said her message to young people is: “Get the vaccine to protect yourself.” “We are extremely lucky to have access to a Covid-19 vaccine and it’s important we take up the opportunity to receive the doses because it’s all about weighing up the risks,” she said. “Clearly, the virus itself poses a risk to young people – I learned the hard way – so getting a vaccine to protect yourself is so important.” After receiving a message of support on social media from Newport East MP, Jessica Morden, the teenager said her experience was “a tale that needs to be shared”, adding: “I’d love to know how different my story would be if I’d been offered the vaccine just a week or two earlier.” A first dose of the Covid vaccine is being offered to 16 and 17-year-olds in the UK, with no second dose planned thus far. But while both the Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna jabs are approved for those aged 12 to 17, only some children aged 12-15 are eligible for the vaccination – specifically those who are clinically extremely vulnerable or living with someone who is at risk.
