Grieving son 'bombarded' with anti-vaccine abuse
A man, whose unvaccinated mum, dad and brother died within the space of week after catching coronavirus, said he has been "bombarded" with abuse on social media.
Francis Goncalves said the abusers believe him to be an actor, set up by broadcasters to spread a hoax.
“People should be going to the doctor for advice on these things, but they listen to social media,” he said.
All three of Francis’ relatives were scared by misinformation in regards to the Covid jab.
Francis said it was difficult to counter the anti-vaccine rhetoric they were hearing as he didn’t feel he had the medical background to change their mind.
He urged people to "take a step back, consider the information, consider the source, consider the quality".
