Britain's best-known conspiracy theorist, Piers Corbyn, spoke at a protest in London on Saturday 22 January opposing mandatory vaccination for NHS staff.

Thousands of people turned out to oppose the vaccine mandate, including National Health Service workers and supporters concerned about civil liberties. But they were joined by a number of anti-vaxxers and conspiracy theorists, including Piers Corbyn, the brother of former Labour leader Jeremy.

Among the eccentric views Piers is known for: he has claimed that Covid-19 is both a "hoax" and a "bioweapon", and that it is caused by 5G mobile phone masts. He has has also been accused of comparing vaccination to the Holocaust.

Workers in the UK's National Health Service (NHS) are required to be vaccinated by April or they could face the sack.

The need for a delay between jabs mean the process of firing what could be more than 70,000 as-yet unvaccinated staff could begin on 3 February.

By April 2022, 100k members of the NHS will have to be fully vaccinated or lose their jobs. In light of this draconian requirement, NHS nurses have come together to protest against such coercion, defending their medical freedom and accusing the government for a total mistreatment of the health workers over the pandemic.

Other anti-lockdown and anti-vaccine groups have jointly protested against the restrictions imposed by the government, and threaten to take to the streets should the restrictions not be lifted by 27th Jan 2022.
