In 2018, "Parachute use to prevent death and major trauma when jumping from aircraft: randomized controlled trial" was published in the British Medical Journal. It sought to determine if wearing a parachute when jumping from a plane had any impact on survivability. It did not.

Andrew Bridgen Hi Andrew. Don't forget that we made our recommendations in the UK on the basis of clear data that COVID infection in pregnancy can cause placental pathology leading to stillbirth, as well as increasing the risk of preterm birth... 1/ nature.com/articles/s4157…

Um, yeah, Swedish COVID policy was really not a success... you can try to rewrite history, but the facts don't change. Swedish policy was a disaster with 1.5-2x higher cumulative deaths/million from COVID compared to other Nordic countries... completely predictable too.

Yesterday JDC co-chairs received a letter from the health secretary – in which he introduced a pre-condition to give up our negotiating position and call off strike action. Our response below makes it clear that without any credible offer next week’s strikes will continue.

An academic study purporting to find 278,000 deaths from COVID vaccinations thrilled the anti-vaccine crowd. The failings that led to its retraction have a lot to teach us about bogus science, writes columnist Michael Hiltzik. latimes.com/business/story…

Andrew Bridgen has fallen down a conspiratorial, anti-vax rabbit hole. We now have an MP in parliament who believes in a vast conspiracy to cover up mass vaccine deaths. Such conspiratorial thinking corrodes reason and democracy, writes Fraser Myers spiked-online.com/2023/04/30/the…

This is MP Sir Philip Davies. Much like the rest of the Tory party, he hates doctors. However, it seems he hates them even more than his other crony friends. The tweet below is a reply he sent to a doctor who sent him the BMA letter asking him to support the strikes.

Dr Susan Oliver (PhD) Campbell has 683,416,669 views as of today's date. At around $5,000 per million views (the average money popular Youtubers make) that's $3,415.000. He's not going to stop anytime soon, no matter how many people he harms.

On BBC More or Less this morning I was delighted to have the opportunity to debunk the most ludicrous claim I’ve yet been asked to address! John Campbell shared a video with his 2.9 million followers with claims of over 150,000 excess deaths compared to if no-one was vaccinated.

Excess deaths vs COVID vaccine uptake rate 2021 and 2021, comparison of European countries. I just discovered I had access to this data set all along, and didn't realize it. The Economist made all their data available in Github. R-squared = 0.64

Steve Kirsch Do you know anyone who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease within 6 months of drinking a glass of water? The Steve Kirsch #RecordLevelData shows high likelihood of a connection. His threads won't cover it of course #AllForFun

Countering Antivaxx Disinformation A common technique by antivaxx disinfo spreaders is to "just ask questions" ("JAQing off"), whereby they ask a question but leave the IMPLICATION that the "vaccine is the answer." Of course, it takes EFFORT to rebut, but let's, shall we? /1

I’d massively grateful if you could take a second to follow this link to a post and ‘like’ the photos of Tavistock RFC U7s and U8s (the photos - not the post itself) to give them a chance of winning a visit to Exeter Chiefs for the day. Thankyou🙏🏻 facebook.com/story.php?stor…
