Anti-Vaccine nurse sacked for spreading misinformation

A nurse has been struck off after spreading conspiracy theories that the coronavirus pandemic was linked to 5G and vaccines would "kill you".

 

Kay Allison Shemirani, a mother of four from Nottingham,is believed to be the first person to be removed from the nursing register after using her status as a health professional to spread "distorted propaganda" about Covid-19.

 

Mrs Shemirani, who refers to herself as Kate, employed "inflammatory and derogatory language", said nurses were complicit in genocide, stated that vaccination teams should be renamed "death squads" and referred to the NHS as the "new Auschwitz", and claimed that symptoms of the virus were caused by 5G and that vaccines were "rushed through" because "they want to kill you".

 

The campaigner was suspended from the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) in July last year for spreading misinformation and had her social media accounts taken down. Now, a NMC committee has ruled that her misconduct was so serious that she should be permanently struck from the nursing register, ruling that her fitness to practise as a registered nurse was impaired on both public protection and public interest grounds.

 

The NMC received a "significant number of referrals" about her conduct last year as she became a leading activist, speaker and promoter against vaccines and the existence of Covid-19. Mrs Shemirani used her social media brand "Natural Nurse in a Toxic World" to spread her opinions, often referring to herself as a registered nurse and wearing a nurse's uniform in her videos and took part in mass protests against coronavirus restrictions with fellow conspiracy theorists David Icke and Piers Corbyn at Trafalgar Square in London.
