Watching him come full circle to where many of us have been standing the entire time has been simulaneously a tribute to his professional integrity and a sad, slow-motion black-pilling process that epitomizes the state of our society today. How can we have allowed ourselves to get to a place where we need to speak in code in order to avoid the ire of the "authorities"? To be clear, John Campbell is not the problem. We are.

Indeed.

Andrew Bridgen suspended as Tory MP over Covid vaccine comments

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.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak also condemned the remarks, calling the comparison "utterly unacceptable".

Mr Hart said Mr Bridgen would lose the party whip - meaning he will sit as an independent - while a formal investigation takes place.

"As a nation we should be very proud of what has been achieved through the vaccine programme," the chief whip added.

"The vaccine is the best defence against Covid that we have. Misinformation about the vaccine causes harm and costs lives."

The BBC has contacted Mr Bridgen for a comment.

Covid cases in China touch 900 million - study

Some 900 million people in China have been infected with the coronavirus as of 11 January, according to a study by Peking University.

The report estimates that 64% of the country's population has the virus.

It ranks Gansu province, where 91% of the people are reported to be infected, at the top, followed by Yunnan, (84%) and and Qinghai (80%).

A top Chinese epidemiologist has also warned that cases will surge in rural China over the lunar new year.

The peak of China's Covid wave is expected to last two to three months, added Zeng Guang, ex-head of the Chinese Center for Disease Control.

Hundreds of millions of Chinese are travelling to their hometowns - many for the first time since the pandemic began - ahead of the lunar new year on 23 January.

China has stopped providing daily Covid statistics since abandoning zero-Covid.

But hospitals in big cities - where healthcare facilities are better and more easily accessible - have become crowded with Covid patients as the virus has spread through the country.

Speaking at an event earlier this month, Mr Zeng said it was "time to focus on the rural areas", in remarks reported in the Caixin news outlet.

Many elderly, sick and disabled in the countryside were already being left behind in terms of Covid treatment, he added.

China's central Henan province is the only province to have given details of infection rates - earlier this month a health official there said nearly 90% of the population had had Covid, with similar rates seen in urban and rural areas.

However government officials say many provinces and cities have passed the peak of infections.

The Lunar New Year holidays in China, which officially start from 21 January, involves the world's largest annual migration of people.

Some two billion trips are expected to be made in total and tens of millions of people have already travelled.

Last month, China abruptly abandoned its zero Covid policies. It also reopened its borders on Sunday.

Official data shows five or fewer deaths a day over the past month, numbers which are inconsistent with the long queues seen at funeral homes and reports of deaths on social media.

In December Chinese officials said they planned to issue monthly rather than daily updates on the Covid situation in the country.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) said China, which stopped reporting Covid fatalities from Tuesday, was heavily under-reporting Covid deaths.

In response, Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin stressed again at a regular press briefing on Thursday that Beijing has been sharing Covid data in "a timely, open and transparent manner in accordance with the law", having held technical exchanges with the WHO over the past month.

International health experts have predicted at least a million Covid-related deaths in China this year. Beijing has officially reported just over 5,000 deaths since the pandemic began, one of the lowest death rates in the world.

China reports almost 60,000 COVID-related deaths in just over a month

The announcement follows complaints that the Chinese government was failing to release data about the status of the pandemic.

China dropped its strict zero COVID policy on 7 December, unleashing the virus on the nation's 1.4 billion people.

It led to a surge in infections among the population, which has little immunity after the Chinese government focused on shielding its population rather than inoculation.

Beijing said the "emergency peak" of its latest coronavirus surge appeared to have passed.

The 59,938 people that died in hospitals between 8 December and 12 January had an average age of 80.3.

Of those, 5,503 were caused by respiratory function failure due to COVID infection while 54,435 resulted from a combination of diseases and COVID infections, officials said.

They said COVID fever and emergency hospitalisations had peaked, with the number of hospitalised coronavirus patients continuing to decline.

However, it said those "deaths related to COVID" occurred in hospitals, leaving open the possibility more people may have died at home.

The report would more than double China's official COVID-19 death toll to 10,775 since the virus was first detected in the city of Wuhan in late 2019.

Nationwide, "the number of fever clinic visitors is generally in a declining trend after peaking, both in cities and

rural areas," Jiao Yahui, an official from the National Health Commission, told a news conference.

Ms Jiao said the number of emergency treatment patients was also declining and the ratio of patients who had tested positive for COVID-19 was steadily dropping as well.

Wen Daxiang, a Shanghai Health Commission official, said China would strengthen health monitoring and management of its high-risk population and bolster the supply of drugs and medical equipment in rural areas.

Authorities had been reporting five deaths or fewer each day over the past month - despite long queues at funeral homes and body bags seen leaving crowded hospitals.

Last month officials said they planned monthly rather than daily updates.

It comes after the UK announced it would test random passengers on direct flights from mainland China to the UK for COVID-19.

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) said its new programme would see "a sample of passengers arriving in England from mainland China tested for COVID-19 at the point of their arrival".

The agency said passengers at Heathrow would be invited to take part in the study and all positive samples sent for sequencing.

While China reported nearly 60,000 COVID-related deaths in just over a month, the UK has seen nearly 178,000 deaths within 28 days of a positive test since the UK began recording COVID-related deaths.
