Most consultant cardiologists(other specialists who will tell you this are also available) will also tell you that Covid itself carries a far higher risk of most of those (mostly extremely rare)side effects, too. Fück him, fück the people who voted for him, fūck the inevitable 'he just has very real concerns' trolls who'll pop up sharing it and fück the party who've allowed him to represent them at various levels for the past 12+ years.

So basically, he's being disciplined for letting mask slip too far, rather than his actual opinions and willingness to hang around with neo-nazis. |  |

On a side note, there are now more MP's with the whip withdrawn than there are Lib Dems. |  |

I was reading an article the other day where a virologist stated that Omicron is approximately as virulent as the original Wuhan strain and thus if you've not been exposed previously or not been vaccinated it's still highly dangerous. SB |  | |  |

There was, unfortunately, a group of relatively well respected Historians who were partially legitimised in their Holocaust denial for a number of years (including David Irving, but plenty of others with less radical/abhorrent views). It was a disaster for the study of History. |  |

All conspiracy theories are basically rooted in antisemitism at the end of the day. |  |

Tory MP has whip removed for comparing Covid vaccine to the Holocaust on 13:33 - Jan 11 with 1949 views | DJR | One question that arises in relation to this issue is how is it possible to prevent the belief in and spread of conspiracy theories, which to any sane (in my view) person are bonkers. During lockdown I had cause to speak to my neighbour, and she came out with all sort of nonsense on all sorts of issues including Covid which suggested to me that she had tapped into US social media and was being bombarded by the conspiracy theories circulating there. Such people do not seem amenable to reason, and restrictions on free speech are to my mind problematic, so perhaps the best way of trying to make things slightly better would be to outlaw the social media algorithms which mean that people have thrust in their face things they might not otherwise find, just because they have looked at a particular matter. The result is an echo chamber which merely reinforce a particular view or theory. [Post edited 11 Jan 2023 13:42]

And this is the point. Having such extreme views within itself isn't so much of the issue - more that there are now so many platforms for them to air their views is. Couple that with the fact that it seems many are no in a position of 'power' is even more worrying. Not just the UK either. |  |
