A warning has been issued after people dressed as 'cartoon characters' have been preying on a Covid-19 vaccine clinic in one Greater Manchester shopping centre. The council and NHS have told parents to 'exercise caution' as the individuals are understood to be 'anti-vaccine' protesters targeting 'parents and children'.
Eyewitnesses have told the Manchester Evening News of 'easily 20 or so' of the 'anti-vaxxers' gathering around the One Stockport Hub coronavirus vaccine clinic at the Merseyway Shopping Centre on Saturday, April 30. "They had bullhorns and a lot of them [were] outside the front of the Merseyway Centre," said the witness. "The police were there on Saturday too.
"They had placards about [the vaccine] apparently killing more kids than Covid. They were also handing out and holding newspapers by some made-up rag with some anti-vax front page nonsense."
