Conspiracy theorists spreading misinformation about Covid vaccines have been slammed as "unbelievable."
The comments were made by Northumberland county councillor Richard Dodd at a meeting of the authority's health and wellbeing overview and scrutiny committee on Tuesday.
Coun Dodd was quizzing Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust's executive medical director, Alistair Blair, on future plans for vaccination in the UK, and was concerned about the impact conspiracy theories could have on vaccine uptake.
