  • “Harvard Epidemiologist Martin Kulldorff on Vaccine Passports, the Delta Variant, and the Covid ‘Public Health Fiasco’” – “Those who are pushing for vaccine mandates and vaccine passports… [are doing] so much more damage to vaccine confidence than anybody else,” says Dr Martin Kulldorff in an interview with the Epoch Times.

  • “The unions want the ‘pingdemic’ to last forever” – The crowds at football matches and pubs show there’s a much greater degree of resistance to going back to work than play, writes Patrick O’Flynn in the Telegraph.
  • “How Covid’s origins were obscured, by the East and the West” – The origins of the Covid pandemic remain obscure due to a vigorous campaign of concealment by the Chinese authorities and missteps by senior medical research officials in the U.K. and U.S., writes Nicholas Wade in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists.

  • “The Kate Clanchy pile-on shows no one is safe from the speech police” – “Writers attempting to control how their work is reviewed is the flipside of Wokies attempting to control how minorities are portrayed in that work. Neither is possible,” writes Helen Dale in CapX.
  • “Challenging U.N., Study Finds Sun – not CO2 – May Be Behind Global Warming” – “Accepting climate warnings at face value without considering strenuous objections from well qualified scientists as to the quality of the procedures which led to those conclusions could lead to a catastrophic global misallocation of resources,” writes Eric Worrall in Watts Up With That.
  • “Vaccine passports will become mandatory for nightclubs and other venues by the end of September” – Big Brother Watch’s Madeleine Stone says pushback is needed to stop mandatory policies. She tells talkRADIO: “This policy is not about public health, it’s about coercion.”
