A Bridgen Too Far?

With apologies for the pun.

I’ve always thought Bridgen for all I disagree with him on lots was an ultimately sensible bloke.
And no doubt he is.
What was he thinking?

[Hopkirk]

He's a motormouth who doesn't always engage the brain before speaking.

[jno]

I can only imagine you were wrong, that's just not the talk of a sensible bloke.

[ichkeria]

I think I’m sensible jno and I backed Truss for PM at one point ;-)

[royfromaus]

He doesn't appear to have said anything to get suspended for.

//The vaccine is the best defence against Covid that we have. //



Then God help us...because the vaccine doesn't work..

[Zacs-Master]

Mr Bridgen claimed COVID vaccines "are causing serious harms" and said the programme was "the biggest crime against humanity since the Holocaust".

> "As one consultant cardiologist said to me, this is the biggest crime against humanity since the Holocaust."

He's saying that his own party has been central to committing the biggest crime against humanity since the Holocaust. Of course he should have the whip of that party removed. Not to mention, trivialising the Holocaust and every other crime against humanity since then.

//Mr Bridgen claimed COVID vaccines "are causing serious harms//




They are.

[Zacs-Master]

That's not the relevant part of what he said, Roy.

[royfromaus]

It's not what he said it's what he repeated.
He should have known not to mention the holocaust.

[jno]

he could have said "this is the biggest crime against humanity since the Kwarteng mini-budget" but he'd still have lost the whip

[Peter Pedant]

his covid pensees are outrageous

worse than Mrs Cheeze who made no sense at all - covid jabs killed people even before they were available
real senseless crap - the sort of stuff you read every day on AB
ter-daaah !

The english authorities and govt agreed that if they followed the American model ( free speech and let it all hang out) then there would be MORE deaths and not less in the UK. The result was de-platforming the anti-vaxxers.

and burning the dissenters as witches
have we then burnt our Bridgens? - alot of us want to
excuse the pun

"As one consultant cardiologist said to me, this is the biggest crime against humanity since the Holocaust."

I think this was the one the GMC stuck off.

tory MPs dont all have to be sane, do they

nope: isolaton doesnt work. Big experiment in China which ended in tears.
Vaccine has cut deaths from Covid

July to December 2021, the age-adjusted risk of death involving coronavirus (COVID-19) was 93.4% lower for people who had received a third dose, or booster, at least 21 days ago compared with unvaccinated people.
( tenth of what it was)

[kuiperbelt]

/ "the biggest crime against humanity since the Holocaust"/

How sad the former Tory whip is unable to differentiate between the Holocaust and the Covid crisis.

Anyone who would make such a comparison never really understood the persecution the Jews suffered at the hands of Hitler. (Add to also, the pogroms carried out by Stalin).

[fiveleaves]

Andrew Bridgen has posted photos showing him getting the Covid vaccine in the past.
Sothis where the Tories are heading. Into the strange world of conspiracy theories.
Get them out, get Labour in

[royfromaus]

The vaccine has done no harm then, fiveleaves?

[Atheist]

Roy; Far less harm than not vaccinating - as far as I know. Maybe you have evidence that we would have been better off with no vaccination?

[royfromaus]

Roy; Far less harm than not vaccinating

Definitely not if you are a healthy young person.
Why was it pushed (blackmailed used) on young healthy people?

[Atheist]

Roy... You have no evidence that vaccine does more harm than good?
