MP debates excess deaths in houses of Parliament

First Debate on Excess Deaths takes place in UK Parliament.

In a somewhat desolate houses of Parliament on the 30th of October 2023 the first live debate on the UK Excess deaths began after much effort by the Right Hon, Andrew Bridgen MP. According to the MP’s Youtube Channel this is the first time any such debate has taken place in public office in the world.

In his nonetheless landmark speech, Mr Bridgen argued the following.

  • It has taken a lot of effort with over 20 rejections to be able to raise this topic within the house of commons.
  •  Numerous countries are currently gripped in a period of unexpected mortality, and no one wants to talk about it. It is quite normal for death numbers to fluctuate up and down by chance alone, but what we are seeing here is a pattern repeated across countries, and the rise has not let up.
  • There were nearly two extra deaths a day in the second half of 2021 among 15 to 19-year-old males, but potentially even more if those referred to the coroner were fully included. In a judicial review of the decision to vaccinate yet younger children, the ONS refused in court to give anonymised details about those deaths. It admitted that the data it was withholding was statistically significant. It said:
  • There were just over 14,000 excess deaths in the under 65-year-olds before vaccination from April 2020 to the end of March 2021. However, since that time, there have been more than 21,000 excess deaths, ignoring the registration delay problem, and the majority of those deaths—58% of them—were not attributed to covid. We turned society upside down before vaccination for fear of excess deaths from covid, but today we have substantially more excess deaths, and in younger people, and there is a complete eerie silence. The evidence is unequivocal. There was a clear stepwise increase in mortality following the vaccine roll-out.
  • It is high time that these experimental vaccines were suspended and a full investigation into the harms that they have caused was initiated. History will be a harsh judge if we do not start using evidence-based medicine. We need to return to basic science and basic ethics immediately, which means listening to all voices and investigating all concerns.
