Protesters turn to tinfoil hats as increasing sickness blamed on Government beaming radiation rays

R&I – txPAT ***
Those protesting at Parliament are increasingly reporting symptoms of illness and linking it to a conspiracy theory that the Government is making them sick with a radiation weapon.

The theory has gained so much traction in the protest crowd that one of the leading organisers, Leighton Baker, posted a social media video trying to debunk it even as some believers began wearing tinfoil hats for protection.

The Ministry of Health has identified a number of positive Covid-19 cases among those who have been attending the protest at Parliament. In the last few days, coughing and wheezing has become a common feature on livestreams from the protest site.
