To think Bev Turner is an idiot?

[Snoozer11]

Shes an antivaxxer who is spouting nonsense and arguing with epidemiologists, virologists, doctors, professors and various other experts about the dangers of the vaccines and vaccinating children.

She now feels she has the "weight of the world" on her shoulders and has said parents who are fine with their kids being jabbed are "harming their children". Fuck 'em, she says. Apparently she knows things that we don't.

AIBU to think she's a misinformed fool who ought to shut up?

I’ve said this all through pandemic, why they still have her on TV I don’t know. They stopped for a while, but keep having her back. I’m afraid I turn tv over if she’s on

I just googled her and she has a degree in English so she's likely argues fluently and had become over confident in her own abilities in the public health arena. 🤷 Ignore.

Just my opinion, but I thionyl It's a cynical attempt to get a profile. She's gone through the looking glass.

She's always been very opinionated, but I agree since the pandemic began she's taken on an evangelical nuttiness. I really wish that TV producers would just stop giving her a platform. No doubt it's to boost their otherwise shit ratings, so they put on someone who they know will rile the audience up. Drives me bonkers.

Imagine having her and James Cracknell as your parents.

Poor little sods.

I didn't know who she was, but had a look at her Twitter. People like her make me sick, they're no better than dodgy salesmen that play on the vulnerable. In fact she's worse. A dodgy salesman might take your money, but someone spreading lies could cost people their lives.

I have to turn over when I see her on TV now. She is entitled to her opinion, but I think I'll take my medical advice from Chris Whitty. You know, someone who actually knows a medical thing or two.

Just had to look her up. What a crackpot shouting at actual Drs on live tv.

Perhaps. If she found her mainstream TV career floundering she may have decided to cynically make a move to right, as there's lots of money floating around right wing media.

I've never heard of her.

I can't stand her. She used to have a show on LBC and I'd switch the radio every time she came on.

@Handsoffstrikesagain

It’s not a media ploy, trust me. It’s her personality.

Poor you. Do you have any stories?

I've never heard of her! Which programs is she on?

@CyanideInTheFishPaste

Absolutely

I think she is constantly looking for airtime - it's either the vaccine or her being happy with her tomboy lover - if they split that will be another loaf of articles / interviews

Never heard of her - perhaps her bullshit isn’t raising her profile as much as she thought

I’ve seen her a couple of times on the Jeremy Vine Show. She’s irritating and thinks she knows it all.

What’s wrong with James Cracknell? I know nothing about him except they used to be married.
