BBC World Service - Trending, Anti-vaxxers only

The Covid activists who are trying to live and love only with other unvaccinated people.

They’re organising online dating, house shares and even blood banks, but for unvaccinated people only! Meet the opponents of Covid vaccines who are taking things one step further.

As the pandemic progresses, some opponents of Covid-19 vaccines are taking things one step further.

An emerging international grassroots movement is seeking to create online and offline communities away from the vaccinated world.

Trending meets the people who are setting up dating sites, house share groups, even blood banks specifically for the unvaccinated only.
Underpinning many of these efforts is the totally unfounded belief in “vaccine shedding” - the false idea that the unvaccinated can be made ill simply by being around people who have had a coronavirus jab.

But will any of these alternatives to mainstream society take root?
