Outrageous excess deaths

That this House has considered the covid-19 pandemic response and trends in excess deaths; and calls on the covid-19 inquiry to move onto its module 4 investigation into vaccines and therapeutics as soon as possible.

We are witnesses to the greatest medical scandal in this country in living memory, and possibly ever: the excess deaths in 2022 and 2023. Its causes are complex, but the novel and untested medical treatment described as a covid vaccine is a large part of the problem. I have been called an anti-vaxxer, as if I have rejected those vaccines based on some ideology. I want to state clearly and unequivocally that I have not: in fact, I am double vaccinated and vaccine-harmed. Intelligent people must be able to tell when people are neither pro-vax nor anti-vax, but are against a product that does not work and causes enormous harm to a percentage of the people who take it.

I am proud to be one of the few Members of Parliament with a science degree. It is a great shame that there are not more Members with a science background in this place; maybe if there were, there would be less reliance on Whips Office briefings and more independent research, and perhaps less group-think. I say to the House in all seriousness that this debate and others like it are going to be pored over by future generations, who will be genuinely agog that the evidence has been ignored for so long, that genuine concerns were disregarded, and that those raising them were gaslit, smeared and vilified.

One does not need any science training at all to be horrified by officials deliberately hiding key data in this scandal, which is exactly what is going on. The Office for National Statistics used to release weekly data on deaths per 100,000 in vaccinated and unvaccinated populations—it no longer does so, and no one will explain why. The public have a right to that data. There have been calls from serious experts, whose requests I have amplified repeatedly in this House, for what is called record-level data to be anonymised and disclosed for analysis. That would allow meaningful analysis of deaths after vaccination, and settle once and for all the issue of whether those experimental treatments are responsible for the increase in excess deaths.

Far more extensive and detailed data has already been released to the pharma companies from publicly funded bodies. Jenny Harries, head of the UK Health Security Agency, said that this anonymised, aggregate death by vaccination status data is “commercially sensitive” and should not be published. The public are being denied that data, which is unacceptable; yet again, data is hidden with impunity, just like in the Post Office scandal. Professor Harries has also endorsed a recent massive change to the calculation of the baseline population level used by the ONS to calculate excess deaths. It is now incredibly complex and opaque, and by sheer coincidence, it appears to show a massive excess of deaths in 2020 and 2021 and minimal excess deaths in 2023. Under the

old calculation method, tried and tested for decades, the excess death rate in 2023 was an astonishing 5%—long after the pandemic was over, at a time when we would expect a deficit in deaths because so many people had sadly died in previous years. Some 20,000 premature deaths in 2023 alone are now being airbrushed away through the new normal baseline.

Shocking things happened during the pandemic response. In March 2020, the Government conducted a consultation exercise on whether people over a certain age or with certain disabilities should have “do not resuscitate” orders, known as DNRs, imposed upon them. A document summarising the proposals was circulated to doctors and hospitals; it was mistakenly treated as formal policy by a number of care homes and GPs up and down the country, who enacted it. At the same time, multiple hospitals introduced a policy that they would not admit patients with DNRs, because they thought that they would be overwhelmed. The result was that people died who did not need to die while nurses performed TikTok dances.

My hero.
Dr. Campbell
And Mr. Bridgen.
Thank you on behalf of the world.

[carolinearmitage]

Well done, Andrew Bridgen and John Campbell you are both heroes of the people. Thank you for raising your heads above the parapet on our behalf. A brilliant speech.

[mosshead]

The lack of MP's there shows their contempt for the public.

[deva]

Thank you Andrew Bridgend for your integrity. The empty seats are testament to the self servicing and contemptible nature of those MPs who couldn’t be bothered to attend. Absolute sad reflection on the narcissistic culture prevalent in our country today.

[andypearson]

If the establishment think that they can ignore, put their finger's in their ears, obfuscate and gaslight their way out of this, THEY ARE WRONG

[OpinionFactChecker]

The lack of common decency from the vast majority of MP's is staggering. They couldn't be more contemptuous if they tried!

[thesmallnotesduo]

99% of MPs do not represent the people. Andrew does. ENOUGH

[DonnaAcker]

The Nuremberg code needs to be enacted and those responsible need to be held accountable!!

[missnerepis]

The fact that Mr Bridgen is speaking to virtually an empty room speaks volumes. It shows how very little government cares, how they hold contempt for a man who speaks truth and how there is such a short supply of leaders with integrity. We are not being governed by leaders, but by misleaders.

[happyjud]

Clear the gallery ??? Let the people vote since MP's found representing the people in the house, was too inconvenient for them. And they get paid ?? Totally disgusting!

[anndougall]

Dont vote for any MP who did not attend

[tWD]

i lost my job .but not my life and my dignity Thanks Dr.Campell

[bjornbjorn]

The MPs not present, should never be present again.

[iancormie]

Simple solution, do not vote for any MP that did not attend these speeches.

[vhwhite]

Why did the Speaker silence the gallery for vocalising an opinion when the House makes a racket every time someone tries to speak? Double standards abound! Mr Bridgen gave a great speech.

[chillipeppaboris]

The almost empty room is proof that the present English political system needs radical change.

[philholman]

Disgraceful absence of MPs.
Honour to Andrew Bridgen!

[ukmartin]

Well well well, what do we have here ? The house of commons nearly EMPTY. If they were voting on MP'S wage increase, as we've seen in the past, the chamber would be full, standing room only. That tells me all I need to know. Disgraceful turn out and shame on all who didn't attend. Vote them ALL out of office.

[johngreeve]

The silence of worldwide governements is deafening. Kudos to Mr. Bridgen! He is like a voice crying in the wilderness.

[betruthfullinformed]

Every person in the world needs to hear this speech.
