A COUNCILLOR has been left "disgusted" by an anti-vaccination letter being delivered through people's letterboxes.
Peter Atkinson, who is also a nurse, had demanded those behind letter stop immediately, branding the material "an insult to healthcare staff".
The North Portslade Labour councillor said: "I'm appalled and disgusted that anyone could think it's right to peddle this sort of dangerous and reckless disinformation.
"There's no name or organisation named on this leaflet but to peddle this level of fake news and gross propaganda is truly despicable.
"Whoever is behind this just needs to spend a couple of minutes on our local intensive care units or on mental health units where staff are caring for patients who are Covid positive.
"They would be truly shocked.
"It is also an insult to healthcare staff and other public facing workers who have lost their lives during the pandemic"
Vaccinations are currently believed carried out on a mass scale across Brighton and the UK.
The letter has been passed on to Brighton and Hove City Council.
Cllr Atkinson added: "Obviously, it is peoples' personal choice whether they have the vaccine or not but this leaflet and the people behind it do not provide balanced information on which to make a decision."
