Earlier today I was accosted by a man giving away 'newspapers' in Hereford's High Town.
When I asked him who published it and what it was about, it transpired that it was advocating ridiculous conspiracy theories about the vaccine to combat the Covid-19 virus.
He raised the question; 'what would it do to one's immune system'? my response was, 'nothing but good'.
OTHER NEWS:
- Hereford GP refuses Covid jab but says she's not an 'anti-vaxxer'
- Inside Herefordshire Co-op after £1 million refurbishment
I told him he was 'off his rocker', gave the paper back to him and walked off (I should have dropped it in a bin before he had chance to give it to someone else).
The people who try to peddle this nonsense on unwary passers by, trying to persuade them not to have the jab, are a menace.
Free speech is important but this could cost lives.
