Germany at the forefront of anti-vaxxers and it could mean the coronavirus is never defeated

Anti-vaxxers, conspiracy theorists, and activists with very different political views have come together to voice their anger at Germany's pandemic measures.

While the protests still represent a minority of people, public health experts are becoming concerned that people are developing negative attitudes towards vaccines.

Anger has also been directed at Microsoft founder Bill Gates as part of a bizarre conspiracy theory which claims he is responsible for the coronavirus pandemic.

Scientists have said that about 70% of the world's population would need to be vaccinated to slow the spread of coronavirus.

No place, however, has seen larger protests than Germany.

too much attention is given to a minority and their insane message gets amplified.
But just judging from Twitter, this Q nonsense is spreading outside of the US as well. So if some of the conspiracy theories sound familiar, yeah, the bots are doing some great work and there are gullible people around the world.
