Sorry antiaxxers, a new systematic review of 59 studies showed no association between aluminium adjuvanted vaccines and serious or long term health outcomes, such as asthma, autism spectrum disorders, or other chronic conditions. www.bmj.com/content/393/...

A recent Letter to the Editor by 2 engineers is being touted by supporters of nurse serial killer, Lucy Letby, as new research that overturns the expertise of paediatric endocrinologists. In fact, the authors have just not understood the papers they’ve cited. /1

I just watched the Netflix documentary about this case and this video is better than the documentary 😂 Thanks Dr. Oliver! I was surprised to learn anyone thinks Letby’s innocent 🥴 Her post trial experts didn’t even observe the autopsies and probably don’t know UK hospital standards

Supporters of nurse serial killer, Lucy Letby, like to parrot the “expert” 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. youtu.be/-tSG9P_Qc40

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.

Dr Susan Oliver (PhD) @drsusanoliver.bsky.social · 20/10/2025
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!

Dr Susan Oliver (PhD) @drsusanoliver.bsky.social · 20/10/2025
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.

Dr Susan Oliver (PhD) @drsusanoliver.bsky.social · 20/10/2025
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.
100
Dr Susan Oliver (PhD) @drsusanoliver.bsky.social · 20/10/2025
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.

Dr Susan Oliver (PhD) @drsusanoliver.bsky.social · 20/10/2025
Cherrypicking again. She says "Postmortem examination involves radiology investigations, typically a whole body X-ray and CT and MRI scan where indicated."

Dr Susan Oliver (PhD) @drsusanoliver.bsky.social · 20/10/2025
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.
110
Dr Susan Oliver (PhD) @drsusanoliver.bsky.social · 20/10/2025
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.
110
Dr Susan Oliver (PhD) @drsusanoliver.bsky.social · 20/10/2025
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.
100
Dr Susan Oliver (PhD) @drsusanoliver.bsky.social · 19/10/2025
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.
110
Dr Susan Oliver (PhD) @drsusanoliver.bsky.social · 19/10/2025
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.
110
Dr Susan Oliver (PhD) @drsusanoliver.bsky.social · 19/10/2025
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.

Dr Susan Oliver (PhD) @drsusanoliver.bsky.social · 18/10/2025
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.

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

Dr Susan Oliver (PhD) @drsusanoliver.bsky.social · 06/08/2025
If they were therapy notes, why didn't Letby simply say this when she gave evidence? According to Letby, writing things down was something she'd always done. No mention of writing them on the advice of a therapist.

Here's the thing. I initially thought that Letby might be innocent based on similar claims to those being made in the latest ITV doco, so I decided to look into it further and found that every one of the claims was based on false or misleading information.

So, in other words, you know nothing about the case, and you've just assumed that a documentary was telling the truth because you know the reporter/producer. Bit like the way antivaxxers never questioned their sources.

Dr Susan Oliver (PhD) @drsusanoliver.bsky.social · 05/08/2025
There were 13 deaths on the unit. Letby was present for 12. This is what I mean about her supporters spreading misinformation. They are falsely claiming that Letby wasn't present for the deaths where she wasn't charged and people are falling for it. You seem to be one of them.
