People vaccinated with Covid mRNA vaccines cannot "shed" and affect unvaccinated people This is complete nonsense promoted by anti vaxxers to scare you.

The information on that link is INCORRECT and as a result you are in breach of your NERC Act responsibilities to promote biodiversity. Law wrong. Toxicity wrong. Please show ethical behaviour and stop repeating things that you must now know are wrong. This is then telling lies!

What an AI makes of DEFRA's ragwort risk advice in its Code of Practice. ragwort-hysteria.blogspot.com/2025/06/what-a… An independent look at it is rather judgemental. In fact it is scathing about the bad science and statistics. Please repost! As DEFRA's junk affects lots of important wildlife sites.

Do you know what is the biggest medical conspiracy out there? Well funded, organised disinformation to distract you from the truth? The anti vaccine movement

RFK Jr doesn't understand vaccines, science or healthcare He has no business being HHS Secretary

My pal ＬＩＧＨＴ ＨＡＣＫＥＲＳ caught me owning it like a boss

It is like putting King Herod in charge of childcare!

5 billion people have had Covid vaccines If 74% of people who had them died, that would mean around 3.75 billion people were wiped out by Covid vaccines. I can't prove it but I've just got a little hunch that it's not true and that this is anti vaccine 💩

Well it seems to be #Ragwortmania season again so here is my piece about this much-maligned yet ecologically important wildflower; #Ragwort #wildflowerhour #farming #nature #Horses northwestnatureandhistory.co.uk/2024/07/21/cin…

First butterfly that I've seen nectaring on this Buddleia in two years and I pass it several times a day. The biodiversity crisis and climate breakdown are very real. It's a lovely Red Admiral.

Some lovely cinnabar moth caterpillars today. In a very public place in a park where wildflowers are encouraged by mowing only once a year. Always afraid they'll be vandalised because of the hysteria over ragwort. There are even daft claims it's toxic to them! #ragworttfacts

#JoinMeOnMyWalk Yesterday's beautiful walk locally, I was expecting rain so it was a very welcome surprise. I took a left instead of a right and found myself in a field of ragwort and so many #butterflies. Perfect! #ThePhotoHour #Lancashire
