I’ve already written about Bridgen in this column at Bridgen (desmondswaynemp.com) and at Bridgen-2 (desmondswaynemp.com)
As I’ve said previously, I thought the comparison he quoted, likening the Covid Vaccine to the Holocaust was grotesque and, whilst I have misgivings a bout the extent of the vaccine role out, I do not subscribe to his views.
Is his ‘thought crime’ sufficient however, to merit expulsion?
I draw attention below to the Exchange in the Commons that took place in the Commons last week between Bridgen and the Leader of the House, in particular the Leader’s last paragraph: reflect on that.
In light of yesterday’s coroner’s court ruling that the death of Dr Stephen Wright was due to “unintended complications of the vaccine”,
we now have a legal precedent to review all cases of deaths that fell within the first 14 days of receiving these experimental treatments.
Stephen sadly died 10 days after receiving his first dose of AstraZeneca. As previously any death within a fortnight of receiving the vaccine was regarded as an unvaccinated death, his death was originally attributed to natural causes. Will the Government issue a statement and release details of other such cases where people sadly died within 14 days of vaccination?
I will ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care to update the House in light of this recent change. These are very serious matters that I know are shared concerns for many Members on all sides of the House.
MPs from across the House have spoken on many occasions about medical licensing and medical device licences, the processes and policies of the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation, our covid response and compensation for the vaccine injured, which was recently raised on the Floor of the House by my right hon. and learned Friend the Member for Kenilworth and Southam (Sir Jeremy Wright), the former Attorney General. These are totally legitimate and correct debates to have. Parliamentary scrutiny and debate is one of the many checks and balances that we have in this country to ensure that we are taking the right course of action on these and all other matters. That is what many colleagues do.
What other colleagues are not doing is promoting false propaganda, which is widely known to originate from the Kremlin, abusing and undermining colleagues and the occupant of the Chair, and using the autopsy of a 14-year-old girl as clickbait on their social media feed, all of which the hon. Member for North West Leicestershire (Andrew Bridgen) has done in the past week. He might like to reflect on that.
