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 am infuriated by the inexplicable hunger in the UK media to behave as if there is any doubt about the guilt of serial killer Lucy Letby. Dr Susan Oliver @drsusanoliver.bsky.social has been a stalwart producing accessible videos examining the Letby camp's pseudoscience. youtu.be/-tSG9P_Qc40?...

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
Dr Susan Oliver (PhD)@drsusanoliver.bsky.social · 6mo agoSupporters of nurse serial killer, Lucy Letby, like to parrot the “expert” panel who declared she hadn’t committed any murders.

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.
