I just watched the Netflix documentary about this case and this video is better than the documentary πŸ˜‚ Thanks Dr. Oliver!

I was surprised to learn anyone thinks Letby’s innocent πŸ₯΄ Her post trial experts didn’t even observe the autopsies and probably don’t know UK hospital standards

This is an excellent video and really explains the errors and misdirection within the reports referred to as 'nEw eViDeNcE fRoM a PaNeL oF eXpErTs' that David Davis keeps going on about in the matter of Lucy Letby.

MISTAKES made by KILLER Lucy Letby’s β€œexpert” panel
YouTube video by Back to the Science MISTAKES made by KILLER Lucy Letby’s β€œexpert” panel

Supporters of nurse serial killer, Lucy Letby, like to parrot the β€œexpert” panel who declared she hadn’t committed any murders. But, as Cindy and I explain, the numerous errors in the panel’s reports mean their conclusions are invalid.

Administration of oxygenated liquid via the rectum (butt breathing) has potential to assist patients in respiratory failure. Phase 1 trial with non-oxygenated liquid, but proof of concept shown in pigs.

Why we know that vaccine/autism claims are bollocks

A timely reminder that despite the disinformation RFK Jr has added to the CDC website, vaccines do not cause autism. Furthermore, there is nothing wrong with being on the autism spectrum. www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_w7...

A systematic review of 511 studies showed that immunisation against COVID-19, RSV, and influenza was safe and effective in people of all ages.

No. They're reports from Shoo Lee's mates written after he begged them to help him clear Letby after he got his arse handed to him at COA. The summaries are riddled with errors, so there is no need to see the full reports to know they're wrong.

I have no doubt lots of people are being tricked by the PR campaign and the laughable reports of the "experts". It doesn't matter though. Letby is still in prison!

You mean all the other things being made up by Maltin PR and covered by lazy journalists. If any of it had been presented in court, it would have been demolished on cross examination - just like Shoo Lee was in his first disastrous attempt at the COA.

Obviously you didn't understand what she was saying then. Dr Marneredes confirmed he had seen the skeletal survey radiology report, which is from the post mortem x-rays, in his evidence.

You're missing the point. There is no new information here. The supposed new developments being pushed by Maltin PR are claiming to be new information that the jury never heard. This isn't that - It's all stuff the jury did hear.

Cherrypicking again. She says "Postmortem examination involves radiology investigations, typically a whole body X-ray and CT and MRI scan where indicated."

If it was so clearly backed up by the chronology, the jury would have found Letby not guilty of that murder as she was for other allegations. End of story.

That's a lie. It's a claim made by Myers - not evidence. The jury who heard all the evidence as opposed to the cherrypicked bits of the transcript regurgitated by Tried by Stats didn't buy the claim, which is why Letby was found guilty of that murder.

Of course there was a post mortem x-ray. There is always an X-ray taken before PM commences. This was explained by Dr McPartland in her Thirlwall inquiry evidence.

Well, I do know for sure. It was Myers during cross examination of Dr Gibbs. The air by nasogastric tube allegation was based on the extensive gas in the bowels found at post mortem. No reports ever said the air on the 12th x-ray was related to baby C's death.

What's your point? This was during his cross examination by Myers. It wasn't even the first time that Myers brought it up. The first time was during his cross examination of Dr Gibbs.

I'm not surprised that that's what you've read. The lie has been repeated by a lot of Letby supporters and has appeared in a number of media articles by those pushing the "Letby is innocent" narrative. If you go through the live court reporting, you can see the defence first brought the x-ray up.

19.10.2025 05:58 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

The x-ray on the 12th was introduced into evidence by the defence - not the prosecution. The prosecution used the post-mortem x-ray and digital photos showing gaseous dilation of the intestines from the post-mortem.

This was literally covered during the trial. Baby C was on CPAP on the 12th June, which causes some air in the stomach. It's called CPAP belly. This had been aspirated (removed) before Letby murdered baby C.

Hopefully the rest of the world can learn from our sad fate and stand up to disinformation before it’s too late.

Sweeteners can harm cognitive health equivalent to 1.6 years of ageing, study finds Researchers say low- and no-calorie sweeteners appear to affect thinking and memory in middle age

So, this study linking sweeteners to cognitive decline:

🚩 confuses correlation + causation
🚩 has no theory
🚩 shows evidence of p-hacking
🚩 reports inconsistent CIs / p-values
🚩 measures diet only once
🚩 has a big missing data problem
🚩 adjusts outcome opaquely

Paracetamol (acetaminophen) remains the recommended treatment option for pain or fever in pregnant women when used as directed. Importantly, untreated fever and pain can pose risks to the unborn baby, highlighting the importance of managing these symptoms with recommended treatment. /2

Australia’s Chief Medical Officer and the TGA join with other global medicines regulators, leading clinicians and scientists worldwide in rejecting claims regarding the use of paracetamol (acetaminophen) in pregnancy, and the subsequent risk of ADHD or autism in children. /1
