Available for over a year

Andrew Bridgen has been suspended as a Conservative MP for spreading misinformation about Covid vaccination. It comes after the North West Leicestershire MP posted a tweet that compared vaccines to the Holocaust. Tory chief whip Simon Hart said the comments had "crossed a line" and caused great offence. The decision means that Mr Bridgen will have to sit as an independent in the Commons. 麻豆社 Health Reporter Rachel Schraer tells Ady Dayman what impact such disinformation has on the Public Health Message.
