While many HART members love a good conspiracy theory, it's founding member Michael Yeadon's wild claims that there's a global plot to depopulate the Earth using covid vaccines that has come to define the group. So where did it all go so horribly wrong? pic.twitter.com/rc5C6e2Fkc

Meanwhile Yeadon and other HART members were already sharing crazy conspiracy theories on the group's chat channels. Eugenics, depopulation, Bill Gates, the WEF and the infamous Georgia Guidestones were all mentioned.

This is the echo chamber Michael Yeadon was living in. pic.twitter.com/8a9C9TLde6

By early March 2021, Yeadon was already starting to put the pieces of his conspiracy theory puzzle together. He talks about "dark possibilities", "dark intents" and "dark strategems", which he thinks could include "totalitarian control" or "population reduction" using vaccines. pic.twitter.com/iuSG2tcX6E

Soon afterwards, Yeadon repeatedly shared a video by 9/11 conspiracy theorist Paul Schreyer about pandemic simulation exercises with scary names like "Event 201" and "Dark Winter".

After watching the video he says he "lay awake most of the night". pic.twitter.com/U5RAZjUDQq

By mid March 2021, Michael Yeadon thinks the government is using variants to scare people into getting vaccinated in a "malign & frightening" way.

Yeadon is "properly frightened by my reasoning", but HART co-founder Anna Rayner encourages him to "keep leaking out truth"! pic.twitter.com/2GZeZ0Y2Qq

HART members line up to support Michael Yeadon's wild conspiracy theory, including HART co-founder Anna Rayner (who also helps run Together and the Children's Covid Vaccine Advisory Council), UKMFA founder Liz Evans, Smile Free's Gary Sidley, and Safer To Wait's Val Fraser. pic.twitter.com/6pRZbiHzEm

And again, HART members line up to cheer on his paranoia. UsForThem's Ros Jones congratulates him, Jemma Moran (who helps run the All Party Parliamentary Group on Pandemic Response and Recovery) calls Yeadon "the voice of reason", and Zoe Harcombe calls it "brilliant and scary". pic.twitter.com/gNWTq3EZM9

He continues in this vein at great length all day, raving about eugenics, Nazis, depopulation, totalitarian tyranny…

"I’ve turned all the evidence over in my mind, night & day, for months."

"My deductions have destroyed all meaning & hope in my life."

He's clearly not well. pic.twitter.com/AYwmz0ogMY

It ends with Liz Evans suggesting an echo chamber within the echo chamber to "start investigating hidden motives". Several members ask to join, including Bernie de Haldevang (who introduced HART to MPs) and Rachel Marcus (who helps run the APPG on Pandemic Response and Recovery). pic.twitter.com/Fr8yAa307F

If anything Yeadon has become even more extreme, warning that the people behind the conspiracy are "gonna get hung", talking about strategies to "take them all down", and comparing covid vaccination to Dr Mengele.

And sadly many people still seem willing to believe him. 😞 pic.twitter.com/7Ot308Ezei
