MP allegedly offered bribe to keep quiet about COVID-19 vaccines
Tory MP Andrew Bridgen last week said the UK government tried to bribe him to abstain from challenging the safety of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Bridgen has emerged as a firebrand and one of the few voices in Parliament speaking out against the COVID-19 shots. He has been soundly punished for this.
In January the MP referred to the COVID injections as “the biggest crime against humanity since the Holocaust” in response to an article by researcher Professor Josh Guetzkow analyzing the CDC’s recent release of Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) data. The VAERS data showed there were 5.5 times more serious adverse events from COVID-19 vaccines than from the combined total of adverse events for all other vaccines given to adults since 2009.
While forcing experimental treatments on humans is exactly what happened during the Holocaust, Bridgen faced extreme backlash. His comment, along with his criticism of the COVID vaccine, cost Bridgen his Conservative whip and he is now forced to sit in Parliament as an Independent. He was publicly criticized by Tory Chief Whip Simon Hart and Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
Weeks before, Bridgen had accused government authorities of keeping COVID-19 secret for months and then exaggerating the virus’ danger. He also accused a senior figure in the British Heart Foundation of covering up the side effects of the COVID injections.
Last week Bridgen told Dominique Samuels in an interview that he had been offered a bribe to go along with the government narrative.
“If one wanted to be rather harsh, you could say that whatever’s gone on in this country it’s gone on in most countries . . . around the world to an extent, at least as much as here. And it’s clear that Western societies have the best politicians that money can buy. To be honest, they tried to buy me but I said no,” said Bridgen.
The MP elaborated, saying that he was approached in January 2022 by a senior government official.
“A representative from No. 10 who’s an advisor came to me and said, ‘What do you want? You can have anything you want. . . . [B]ack off and you can have what you want.’ And I said, ‘The prime minister’s resignation letter would be what I want.’”
Bridgen told Samuels he has screenshots of the exchange which occurred via text message.
The MP also shared during the interview that he received a call from a representative for the commission overseeing the welfare of Parliamentarians. The representative said she received multiple reports that Bridgen was suicidal, which he denies.
