Covid conspiracy theorist convicted of terrorism after Telegram calls for vaccine violence
Published By admin with Comments 0
A Covid conspiracy theorist who called for the overthrow of the government and violence against nurses and teachers over the rollout of the vaccination is facing jail after being convicted of terrorism.
Patrick Ruane, 55, weaponised the social media app Telegram to encourage bomb attacks on pharmaceutical companies and even the murder of the CEO of vaccine manufacturer Pfizer.
He also suggested “whacking” Professor Sir Chris Whitty, the chief medical officer for England, over the head with a rounders bat.
Over the course of ten months, Ruane spread his message to 26,000 people across two Telegram chat groups, mentioning Semtex and making repeated references to attacks on politicians and Parliament.
