Andrew Bridgen regularly claims that corona vaccines would cause great harm to the population, a claim for which there is no evidence. He shares many posts on social media about the alleged dangers of vaccinations.
Simon Hart, a Conservative leader, says Bridgen has gone too far. Misinformation about vaccines is harmful and costs lives. We as a country should be proud of what we have achieved through the vaccination programme. Vaccines are the best protection we have against covid.
Parliamentary suspension
Bridgen has been a member of the House of Commons since 2010. He is currently serving a five-day parliamentary suspension for breaking lobbying rules. The politician allegedly contacted members of the government on behalf of a company that made donations to him, paid for a trip to Ghana and hired him as a consultant.
