Doctors and nurses throw away their suits after exposing the fake corona virus? Here’s the truth #FactCheck
In the reported allegations, the scenes reported on social media show “doctors and nurses throwing their suits after exposing the fake Corona virus.” However, this claim is partially false, misleading. It is true that the video shows employees of the National Health Service in Britain throwing their shirts in front of Downing Street headquarters in London, Saturday, January 22, 2022, but they were protesting against the rules of mandatory vaccination of health workers, which, when applied, will lead to the dismissal of those who refuse the vaccine, from their jobs. #FactCheck

The facts: Only 0.33 seconds video duration. The scenes show people gathered somewhere, throwing shirts and pieces of clothing, apparently in the direction of policemen, at a time when cheers erupted. A few days ago, video sharing intensified on social media, especially via WhatsApp (here، here، here…). He attached the following allegations (without intervention or correction): “Doctors and nurses throw away their suits after exposing the fake coronavirus.”
Audit:
The search for the video by dividing it into fixed scenes (Invid), shows that several accounts on Twitter, including news, published it on January 22, 2022 (here، here، here، here، here، here…), with the explanation that “NHS staff are throwing their uniforms out of Downing Street (London)”.
Nearly 2 years on from rainbows and clapping, we’ve reached the point where NHS staff are throwing their uniforms away outside Downing Street. This is one of the most important images of the pandemic.
But did they do it “after exposing the fake coronavirus”, as the post claims?
Both.
In fact, NHS staff in Britain were protesting that day against “the rules of mandatory vaccination that, when applied, will lead to the dismissal of those who refuse to receive a vaccine from their jobs, with health chiefs issuing official warnings to those with dismissal from next month.”According to British news websites,here، here، here، here، here، here، here…). Other videos of this movement have been published from other angles.
Although the death rate of Covid-19 in the UK has fallen dramatically, with more people being vaccinated, some anti-vaccination nurses are sticking to their opinion that the life-saving vaccine is an experimental drug, as reported by the “Daily Mail” website (here).
He stated that “more than 80,000 health service employees, or 6% of the workforce, are still unvaccinated, despite repeated efforts to promote vaccine acceptance.”
All frontline health personnel are required to have received two doses of the coronavirus vaccine by April 1, which means that by February 3, they should have received their first dose of the vaccine.here Also).
Martin Marshall, president of the Royal College of Physicians, said mandatory vaccination of health workers in England was “not the right way forward”. He pointed out that “the vast majority of health staff have been vaccinated, but about 70,000 to 80,000 have not been vaccinated, and they represent 10% of the staff in some hospitals or surgeries of general practice of medicine,” as reported by the BBC website (here).
According for numbers As of December 31, 2021, about 94.3% of NHS workers received a first dose of the vaccine, while 91.5% received a second dose.
The same day witnessed other similar demonstrations in other cities in Britain, including Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham and Leeds.
The result: So, the allegations that “doctors and nurses threw their suits after exposing the fake corona virus” are not true. In fact, the video shows “National Health Service employees in Britain throwing their shirts in front of Downing Street headquarters in London, Saturday, January 22, 2022, in protest against the mandatory vaccination rules for health workers, which, when applied, will lead to the dismissal of those who refuse the vaccine, from their jobs.”
