Andrew Bridgen’s latest quasi-nostalgic medical nonsense earned him 14 sick burns
Former Tory, now Reclaim, MP Andrew Bridgen, who had the Conservative whip removed for comparing the administration of the Covid vaccine to the Holocaust, seems to have been trawling Nostalgia Porn Facebook for the stupidest take on healthcare.
Guess what? He found it!
His tweet may not be the worst thing he’s said on the topic of viruses, but it was bad enough to earn him a Twitter drubbing.
We think you’ll enjoy these responses.

No because like you I grew up in an era of vaccines but
● An estimated 50 to 100 million people died in the 1918 to 1920 pandemic. Soup existed in abundance but didn't save lives
● Measles vaccination is estimated to have averted 56 million deaths between 2000 and 2021 alone https://t.co/cL5IZy1MIU

Nadine Dorries has (finally) resigned, and this looks like an early bid from Andrew Bridgen to be crowned the next 'Waffle-Brained Wazzock of Westminster'. https://t.co/ikhmVgP4sv

Hi Andrew.
Remember when we gave Jimmy Savile the keys to cheer up the kids?
When we let Gary Glitter go on tour with underage girls?
When we made hats with lead paint? https://t.co/D9QHT2wmOr— Kevin Edger (@HappyChappyDude) August 27, 2023

Remember the good old days when families had to pop put 10+ children in order to guarantee that a few of them make it to adulthood? https://t.co/lIDA1YhBdQ

Remember when people actually knew what communism was and it wasn’t just “anything I don’t like”?

From Aids to Ebola, Andrew Bridgen has a home remedy to fix it. Wait until you see his meme on how they used to fix poverty in those good old days. https://t.co/ae899nLIBU

We hope this doesn’t give them ideas.
Reclaim (Your Baggage) UK will soon be campaigning for the reintroduction of a full range of traditional Great British diseases: smallpox, cholera, diphtheria, typhoid, typhus, polio and rickets. A good dose of tertiary syphilis can also be very patriotic. #AndrewBridgen pic.twitter.com/bc32ybcGEz
