‘No one is safe': Anti-vaxx activists who targeted Vine threaten more home visits

Around a dozen people went to Mr Vine’s home on Sunday morning, saying they wanted to deliver a “notice of liability” alleging that Covid vaccines are harmful. Mr Vine said he was “unnerved” by the stunt, which saw his wife filmed as she answered the door to the group.
