Anti-vaxxers are becoming increasingly active in Carlisle. This morning they were protesting on Hardwicke Circus so we went to speak to them to try and get an insight into their thinking.
They were reluctant to speak to us, but one man did explain his protest, but refused to give his name.
Please note the figure he quotes for 'vaccine deaths' is not true. This explains how anti-vaxxers are misrepresenting the facts: https://fullfact.org/online/1102-vaccine-adr-death/
We'll have a report on this issue in this week's Carlisle Newsletter on Thursday. Sign up for the weekly email here: https://landing.mailerlite.com/webforms/landing/d3e6j2
