CAMPAIGNERS who consider vaccinating young people against the dangers of coronavirus to be “child abuse” staged a demonstration on a roundabout.
In footage sent to the Gazette, eight, sign-wielding protestors are seen trying to get their anti-vaccine message across to seemingly disinterested drivers in Stanway.
They held the protest at about midday on Tuesday after infiltrating a roundabout in London Road, located opposite the Princess Charlotte pub.

During the stunt the activists held aloft placards with messages such as “vaccinating children is child abuse” and “heart attacks now normal for young children.”
They also claimed that “99.8% percent survive Covid” and urged the public to “question it all”, ultimately suggesting the pandemic was a lie.
Essex Police officers were also reported to be on the scene.
