Andrew Bridgen suspended as Tory MP over Covid vaccine comments

Andrew Bridgen suspended as Conservative MP for spreading misinformation, the chief whip says.

Then it turns out that his comments were intended in a completely different light being he feels the Holocaust was a hoax anyway, just like covid? 😀

PS: I don't think either were hoaxes. Stand down red alert.

We have a Premier of Alberta (Daniele Smith) that espouses similar views. She has said things like "the (covid) unvaccinated are the most discriminated against group she has seen in her life." among other even more stupid statements. She even went as far as to extort antimask compliance from a government funded charity if they didn't rescind their masking policy by withholding their funding.

Yeah, she's a piece of work...but largely has no idea how to actually implement her favoured policies thankfully.

So he's going to be joining the unusually-numerous group of MPs who have been ejected from their parliamentary party. Should have happened earlier, given he's been spouting this nonsense for a while, apparently.

I'd like to know who this "consultant cardiologist" is that he claims to be quoting re the vaccines and the Holocaust. It's quite possible he's entirely fictional (in which case it would be useful to know Bridgen's lying about that as well), but if there's a real working cardiologist in the NHS who says such things they need to be fired just as much as an MP - probably even more so, as they have a proper job.

this the same people that called Jeremy Corbyn antisemitic because he dared to bring up the plight of the Palestinians?
