Conspiracy Cranks

Written by  Milking It

OPINION: If we needed further proof that the Outdoors Party has drifted away from from being about hunting & fishing and is now home to every conspiracy theory known to man, look no further than its recent statements about the Covid vaccine.

Now, Milking It acknowleges our Government's vaccine roll-out has been slow, but the efficacy of and need for a Covid vaccination programme is now beyond question.

Not so, says the Outdoorspeople. Their calls for more testing might sound reasonable to some, but no amount of testing will satisfy their anti-vaxxer beliefs, which are revealed in their party statement: "The Outdoors Party advocates for educating and empowering people to enhance their own immunity and using established therapies with proven health benefits. One of the most obvious is Vitamin D which you get from sunshine."

Let's be clear, anyone that thinks sunshine will protect them from Covid, has already spent way too long out in the sun.
