(Jewish Group) Suspended nurse at centre of anti-lockdown protests called NHS 'the new Auschwitz'

A leading anti-Covid-19 lockdown campaigner, with a fascination for a dangerous conspiracy theory that places prominent Jews at the centre of a corrupt cabal, has branded the National Health Service “the new Auschwitz.”

Kate Shemirani – one of the leading figures in a movement that has united QAnon obsessives with far-left and far-right activists – also repeatedly shared images of Adolf Hitler, the swastika symbol, and made references to the gas chambers in a flurry of online posts.

The anti-vaccine supporter nurse, currently suspended from practising pending an investigation into her spreading of untruths about the virus, vaccines and the 5G telephone network, deemed that current measures by the government to tackle the pandemic were comparable to the Nazi Holocaust.

In one social media post Ms Shemiran reacted to a claim that "the Nazi's were amateurs at being a dictatorship compared to New Zealand and Austrailia right now" by writing: "I concur."

In further postings seen by the JC Ms Shemirani also circulated an image casting doubt on the 9/11 Twin Towers terrorist attack complete with the wording “NEVER FORGET … that no plane hit this building.”
