A Hollinwood mother has told those caught in conspiracy theories around COVID-19 vaccinations being used to track their whereabouts to, “chuck your smart phones in the bin, then!”
Raheela Kausar, Senior Receptionist at South Chadderton Health Centre, believes that fake news stories mostly peddled on social media are “dangerous scare tactics”.
And she is particularly concerned that older people in Oldham’s Islamic community are being put off potentially life-saving inoculations because they often receive their health information from younger people being bombarded by untruths by anti-vaccine groups.
