The Health Minister has hit out at anti-vaxxers for peddling mistruths and spreading fear around Covid-19. "I think there is an anti-vax movement, which personally I think is very damaging and very ill-informed, but quite prolific on social media." Mr Donnelly, speaking on Morning Ireland, said people now get their information from a variety of sources but warned "there are people out there who are intent on spreading fear." The Government yesterday accepted NPHET recommendations to further restrict household visits in every county in the country. So what's spreading this virus now, more than anything, is different households meeting each other."
