This Labour MP’s savage shutdown of Dan Wootton went viral and it’s quite the watch
Dan Wootton invited Labour MP Chris Bryant onto his Talk Radio show to talk coronavirus and the Welsh ‘fire break’ (Bryant represents the Rhondda constituency in South Wales).
And by the end of their exchange he might very well wish he hadn’t. Because this happened.
Dan Wootton – Science has forever used herd immunity in order to deal with coronavirus
Chris Bryant – You’re a nutcase…. you’re a complete & utter nutcase & you’re dangerous as well. pic.twitter.com/6uFg7FvtVh

The pair continued their feud on Twitter.
I had no idea this man was such a dangerous conspiracy theorist. https://t.co/06VIT4OFWF

You’re the dangerous one. Not listening to the science https://t.co/ERMeygaHN7 https://t.co/e3UFqnZ5GY

I also don’t believe for an instant that you believe this. You’re just a contrarian earning a living out of adopting contrary positions. You probably persuade yourself this is your view but … https://t.co/a0V2pPzGjn

And just a few of the many, many things people had to say about it.

The Dan Wootton/Chris Bryant spat is quite a thing, isn't it?
A reminder that the World Health Organisation's current stance on herd immunity for Covid-19 is that it is "scientifically problematic and unethical".
I'll take their science over Wootton's.https://t.co/GyOLYlN5pE pic.twitter.com/27wCVfBA2a

The interaction between Chris Bryant and Dan Wootton is like a horrible microcosm of the conversation all rational people have had with rabid right-wing conspiracy theorists for the past five years

I very much enjoyed this. I'm unsure if the best bit was Dan Wootton's Alan Partridgesqe asking for him to be removed or where Chris Bryant just turns himself off. Great stuff. https://t.co/PPmE1H6E8q

If you’re really in the mood for this sort of thing, you can watch a longer version of their chat here (it’s well worth it).
Dan Wootton and Labour MP Chris Bryant have a disagreement over the effectiveness of coronavirus lockdowns.
