'Reckless and irresponsible' anti-vaxxer bootcamp plan condemned by Scottish Government

An anti-vaxxer bootcamp led by the sinister Alpha Men group has been branded ­“reckless and irresponsible” by the Scottish Government.

Hundreds of anti-vaccination protesters are preparing to gather in the Lanarkshire countryside for a training event – with the group saying they will take “direct action” to stop the “forced vaccination” of children.

Members planning to attend the training event at Strathclyde Park on January 29 have been urged to get training in the gym to enable them to “fight the evil.” Those attending the group’s training events around the UK have also been told to wear a “black uniform, black boots and a black hat.”Membership of a social media group dedicated to Alpha Men Assemble Scotland has grown quickly from 100 to 400 in the last week.The group has become highly active in recent months and has attracted support from men opposed to the roll-out of the corona vaccine – even though having one is ­voluntary and there are no plans to make it mandatory.And now the Scottish ­Government has hit out, saying their views need to be “ignored.” Asked about the Lanarkshire event, a Scottish Government spokesman said: “ Covid-19 ­vaccinations are entirely voluntary in Scotland, and those for children will only take place with the ­appropriate consent. “Getting vaccinated saves lives and helps protect the NHS by making it much less likely that people will need hospital treatment if they do get Covid. “Deliberately spreading ­misinformation about the vaccine is irresponsible and reckless, and anyone doing so should be ignored.”The spokesman added: “Any claims that Covid-19 vaccinations are mandatory for children or adults in Scotland are entirely false.”Police Scotland is also aware of the event.
