  • A politician from England called Andrew Bridgen has decided to ignore the science in a debate in parliament on excess deaths in the UK. In this video, Dr Susan Oliver and Cindy the dog go back to science and show that his claims are wrong, and vaccines save lives.

      Thanks for this scientific dissection of the script of antivaxx lies brought to the Westminster parliament by a corrupt MP. I dare not think what the way of thinking behind the antivaxxer lies he reels off would mean if ever translated into a position of power. Bridgen is well known as a liar who associates with the thoroughly discredited and despicable.

    Below is a list of registered deaths from England and Wales ( as used by Bridgen at the start of his speech). He states the figures are oscillating, when in fact as Dr Susan shows there is somewhat slow but steady rise from 2009.
    Bridgen states all the sick and elderly passed away in 2020 so there should have been a dip thereafter. The difference between 2020 and the previous 2 years shows an excess of 60,000 deaths in 2020.
    Does Bridgen believe all of England and Wales sick and elderly are encompassed in that figure and there was none left to pass away the following years. I live here there are plenty fit baby boomers over 70 around. I was sat in the pub last week with a 91 year old, 3 in their 70s. All mobile, sorry Andrew the elderly didnt disappear in 2020.

      "Does Bridgen believe all of England and Wales sick and elderly are encompassed in that figure and there was none left to pass away the following years."
      This is indeed what they "believe". They've clearly never ever "understood" that an infectious disease like COVID does not have a simple dichotomic end-result (death or completely fine), but actually creates loads of new sick people.

    Bridgen's talk about "sacrificing" children for adults brings to mind the story of an old lady here who told me about how her parents and sister were found dead in bed from the Spanish flu, and how she and her remaining sister were then shuttled around the country to various orphanages for the rest of her childhood.

    • @emmajones8590
      @emmajones8590 8 месяцев назад +10

      There were a lot of people who tried to guilt trip the elderly for wanting to live, instead of sacrificing themselves so that the kids didn't get to miss any school or a party at the height of the pandemic. They seem to forget that losing a parent or having them end up handicapped, has a really bad impact on a kid. If that kid was the one who brought the disease home that killed or ruined the parent's health, it's going to be a lot worse for them psychologically, than having to homeschool for a couple of terms and meet their friends online. Most kids have the bulk of their social interaction via a smart phone these days anyway. There are about a quarter of a million covid orphans in the USA alone. Some of these lost both of their parents.

    • @MysticOblong
      @MysticOblong 7 месяцев назад +2

      This brings to mind a paper from 1932 Dr Oliver mentioned in her video "Dr John Campbell responds to excess deaths criticism with misinformation" from July 2023.
      *Abstract:* It was found in this study of the weekly deaths from all causes during 1918-29 in 35 large cities of the United States, that during every influenza epidemic the excess mortality from all causes was appreciably higher than the excess mortality credited to influenza and pneumonia, i.e., the excess above the median expected figure for the seasons of the year. In the minor epidemics since 1920 about 40 per cent. of the excess mortality from all causes was due to organic heart disease, nephritis, cerebral haemorrhage, diabetes, respiratory tuberculosis, bronchitis and puerperal conditions other than septicaemia. In the epidemics of 1918-1919 and 1920 respiratory tuberculosis and puerperal causes were more important as contributions of excess deaths than in any epidemic since 1920.

    Thank you Dr Oliver, another excellent and informative video. It was good to see an unpacking of the real data and clear explanations made. It should be compulsory viewing for the UK Parliament to help rinse the dross out of their ears.
    I remember when 'naughty nurse' was trotting Bridgen out to demonstrate how it was all a great big conspiracy. When we saw Bridgen speaking to an empty chamber, all parties shunning him, I realised we had entered into crackpot territory. It kind of backfired for naughty nurse as far as I was concerned, that's when I knew he (nn) was really no longer a voice I wanted or needed.

      Bridgen claimed that his brother kicked him out of a (£1.5m) property. The judge said that was a lie, and that Bridgen had moved out to reduce how much he would have to pay for his divorce settlement.
      Bridgen was evicted from the property, and ordered to pay £800,000 in legal costs
      In April 2022 Bridgen stated that "in actuality I won the case and my brother will be compelled by the Court in due course to repay considerable sums of money back to the business".

It was raining. He was left waiting for 16 hours for an ambulance. Luckily for him some people found him and looked after him with blankets and cover from the rain, and refreshments. Those were dark days, and caused by a huge increase in need for ambulance transport, and very busy hospitals. Yet an antivaxxer slipped into the hospital and filmed an empty concourse which would have normally been filled with visitors and outpatients and tried to say the hospital was not busy with Covid patients.

Shame he wasted most of his last debate you discuss promoting himself for things nothing to do with excess deaths. He hardly presented any statistics, nor looked at any other possible causes / lifestyle changes in the last 4 years.
    Here is what he wrote asking for another debate -
    Overwhelming support for this debate and incredibly well attended Adjournment and Westminster Halls debates on the same subject furthermore i have received a huge number of e-mails from constituents.
    Bridgen uses Campbell’s trait here of lieing by omission.
    1. His Adjournment debate was not incredibly attended, thats usual for Adjournment debates and his was no exception, there was probably 10 there including Mr speaker and tHe frontbench MP who replies to Andrew.
    2. His Westminster Hall debate which Dr Susan discusses had a full public gallery but not many MPs.
    3. He states he has had lots of e-mails from constituents. I would challenge that and ask him are they his constituents ?

      @@neilthompson8668 Wikipedia has - inevitably I suppose - a list of eponymous laws. They're all there from Mike Godwin to Messrs Dunning and Kruger. It's a great read which is sure to broaden your education. For instance I always edit my posts here: in part because of my ongoing battle with the Algorithmic Forces of Darkness, but also because of what I now know is "Muphry's Law".

    Thanks Susan. I wonder if you would make a video about that recent news related to excess death caused by the use of HCQ? It was quite significant actually. "The toxicity of hydroxychloroquine in patients with COVID-19 was partially due to cardiac side effects, such as abnormal heart rhythms. " The irony is that is, isn't it the same symptoms that antivax are claiming was happening....? What if it comes from HCQ and the raise of popularity of some channels promoting it since 2020....?

    Thanks for the interesting video. Bridgen is the worst and he's clearly shown up for the liar he is here. Looking forward to reading the OECD working paper tomorrow - looks interesting. I revisited the Apples & Oranges P-hacking video straight after this one. That video was quite an eye opener the first time around because I didn't realise how dodgy some papers could be. Nothing suprises me anymore and I've developed a good bollocks radar since then thanks to yourself and others that have been doing good science communicating. And the squeaking toy cracked me up again - that has to be the funniest moment in any of your videos.
