Kate Shemirani

Common card · No. 461504

Kay Allison "Kate" Shemirani (born 1965) is a British conspiracy theorist, anti-vaccine activist and former nurse who lost her licence to practise in 2020 for misconduct. She is best known for promoting conspiracy theories about COVID-19, vaccinations and 5G technology. Shemirani has been described by The Jewish Chronicle as a leading figure of a movement that includes conspiracy theorists and far-left and far-right activists. Shemirani styles herself the "Natural Nurse in a Toxic World". She was suspended by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) in July 2020 in response to complaints that she was spreading conspiracy theories and misinformation about COVID-19 and vaccines, and struck off (with a right to appeal after five years) in May 2021. In October 2025, a coroner's inquest ruled Shemirani contributed to her daughter Paloma's 2024 death from cancer by influencing her to reject chemotherapy in favor of alternative treatments.
