About Kate Shemirani in brief

Summary Kate ShemiraniKate Shemirani is a British conspiracy theorist, anti-vaxxer and former nurse. She is best known for promoting conspiracy theories about COVID-19, vaccinations and 5G technology. She was suspended by the Nursing and Midwifery Council in July 2020, in response to complaints that she was spreading misinformation about vaccines. She has been suspended from Facebook several times for promoting harmful misinformation to her 54,000 followers, including linking 5G to the pandemic. Her Facebook page describes 911 attacks as a false flag, Satanic messages in music videos and the organised destruction of the nuclear family. The Jewish Chronicle investigated her online and found that online she made references to Hitler and the Nazis when describing the CO VID-19 pandemic lockdown and the NHS. She believes that anyone who disagrees with her or accuses her of lying must be ‘lying, misinformed or jealous’ She was a host and speaker at Resist and Act for Freedom, a protest event held at Trafalgar Square on 19 September 2020. Protestors chanting ‘choose your side’ formed a human blockade in order to prevent police from entering the square.

Thirty protestors were arrested and police were forced to retreat and disperse the protest at approximately 3pm. A split in the campaign campaign saw David Icke and Mark Steele on one side and one and one side on the other, with Icke on the one side of the human blockade and Steele on the far-right side. The event gathered together protestors with a wide range of grievances relating to face masks, vaccinations, and a host of conspiracy theories. During her speech, she claimed that there’s no science behind the science behind face masks. She also claimed, ‘They want you all wearing a mask. That mask is going to make you sick’. She also said, ‘I’m not buying any of it… I think it’s really important that we don’t just believe what the media tell us.’ She has referred to the National Health Service as ‘Murder. Genocide. The NHS is the new Auschwitz’”. She asked in one post, ‘When are people going to wake up?’ on the cattle truck? Or in the showers?\”
