This is the best summary I could come up with:
Within a six-hour period Wednesday, a couple hundred townspeople peacefully protested their presence and the RCMP eventually escorted the group out of town, they say.
Didulo started as a far-right QAnon conspiracy theorist a couple years ago but has turned into something else, said Evan Balgord, executive director of the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, an independent, non-profit organization that says it monitors, exposes and counters hate groups.
She has amassed thousands of followers by pushing conspiracy theories and what she calls decrees through social media, particularly Telegram — a messaging app popular with the far-right.
The Canadian Anti-Hate Network started keeping tabs on Didulo after receiving reports of people delivering "cease and desist" notices, following her decrees, to various agencies and institutions.
"The concern is that somebody might actually think … it's a legit order, from a person who has legitimate power — which is not true," said Christine Sarteschi, a professor of social work and criminology at Chatham University in Pittsburgh, Pa., who has studied Didulo extensively.
A Saskatchewan Health Authority spokesperson confirmed to CBC News that, on Wednesday afternoon, the Kamsack Hospital's doors were locked and monitored by security to manage public entry.
The original article contains 1,116 words, the summary contains 192 words. Saved 83%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
This summary leaves out that said "cease and desist" notices also threatened execution for noncompliance — at the same time as the head cultist was urging her followers to kill nurses administering vaccines, prompting her followers to post pictures of their firearm arsenals.
It is only a matter of time before the cultists kill someone.
They've already killed people.
Where was that? I hadn't heard of it, but I fully believe you.
...well, by advocating that people physically threaten those administering the vaccine, and for telling her own followers not to get vaccinated, I'm sure their death rate rose a bit.
They probably just mean by interfering with or discouraging healthcare ( I imagine ).
