Kate Shemirani is a British conspiracy theorist and anti-vaxxer. She is best known for her promotion of conspiracy theories on topics related to vaccines and 5G telephone networks, in particular in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic. Also, she does not believe that COVID-19 exists and says its symptoms are linked to 5G mobile phone technology and claims a vaccine is a plot to change our DNA.
Mrs. Shemirani was also a Registered Nurse with 35 years of experience and describes herself as a "Natural Nurse in a Toxic World". In response to complaints that she was spreading conspiracy theories and misinformation about COVID-19 and vaccines, she was suspended by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) in July 2020. The reason for the suspension was to avoid risks of public harm, for promoting anti-vaccination and 5G networking conspiracy theories, and claiming that the COVID-19 pandemic is a scam.
Moreover, her all social media accounts such as Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook have been terminated for violating social media community guidelines. She has been suspended from Facebook several times for promoting harmful misinformation and linking the 5G mobile network to the COVID-19 pandemic. Her official Facebook page had been removed by September 2020 and also she was suspended from Twitter in late October 2020.

On October 24, 2020, during an interview with the BBC's Marianna Spring, her son Sebastian Shemirani told that he contacted the BBC because he is worried that his mother's claims and ideas are dangerous and could have an impact on public health. Also in June 2021, he told at Today program that his mother is very dangerous and has called for the police to prosecute her after she compared the nurses and doctors in the UK to Nazi war criminals who were hanged at the Nuremberg Trials.
COVID-19 Denialism
Kate Shemirani describes the covid 19 pandemics as a "plandemic" and "scamdemic". Even, she characterizes the pandemic as a conspiracy to control the masses with any vaccine for covid 19 being a political tool to change people's DNA. She has been the subject of complaints about likening measures to control the pandemic to Nazi war crimes and the Holocaust. She has referred to hospital death as "genocide" and the National Health Service as "the new Auschwitz".
On 19th September 2020, she was a host and speaker at Resist and Act for Freedom, a protest event held at Trafalgar Square. Where she said that a vaccine for covid 19 will mean that the government will be able to look at every aspect of what is going on in our brains and not only can they pick it up, they can download it into us. She also claimed, "They want you all wearing a mask, there's no science behind that mask. That mask is going to make you sick".
Again, she attended a protest at Trafalgar Square on 24th July 2021 and made threats to NHS nurses and doctors by comparing them to the doctors and nurses of Nazi Germany who were convicted at the Nuremberg Trials and Hanged. She said, "Get their names. Email them to me. With a group of lawyers, we are collecting all that. At the Nuremberg Trials, the doctors and nurses stood trial and they hung. If you are a doctor or a nurse, now is the time to get off that bus... and stand with us the people."
