News Round-Up

by Michael Curzon
26 August 2021 1:01 AM

  • “‘A few hundred thousand’ of most vulnerable will get third doses” – The U.K. Government’s expert advisers are expected to recommend third jabs for people with severely weakened immune systems this week or the next, reports MailOnline.
  • “We can’t afford another winter in the grip of Covid fear” – With new data showing the damage done by lockdown, the Government must base future policy on a rational assessment of risk, writes Dr. Stephen Davies in the Telegraph.
  • “Why The Great Barrington Declaration’s time is coming soon” – “Whatever you thought of the Great Barrington Declaration’s approach to Covid last year, the case for it now is far stronger,” writes Ryan Bourne in Conservative Home.
  • “Vaccine Mandates and the ‘Great Reset’” – “While the vaccinated in some countries are getting back some of their freedoms taken away by the covid interventions, the unvaccinated are not so well off. They are being targeted for discrimination,” writes Philipp Bagus in Mises Institute.
  • “The Bizarre Refusal to Apply Cost-Benefit Analysis to Covid Debates” – “In virtually every realm of public policy, Americans embrace policies which they know will kill people… This rational cost-benefit analysis is foundational to public policy debates – except when it comes to Covid, where it has been bizarrely declared off-limits,” writes Glenn Greenwald in his latset substack update.
  • “Open Letter to Employers re Proposed Covid Vaccine Mandates” – The UKMFA, Lawyers for Liberty and The Workers Union of England have published an open letter, for employees and potential employees to share with employers who are proposing to mandate Covid vaccines on their employees.
  • “Silenced and smeared – the hounding of Dr Sam” – “A popular method of silencing doctors wanting to challenge the narrative is to question their mental health,” writes Sally Beck in TCW Defending Freedom.
  • “Never trust a scientist” – The latest psychology scandal is a reminder of an old principle, writes Stuart Ritchie in UnHerd.
  • “Why the left doesn’t like the lab leak theory” – “We still don’t know where Covid came from. Of the two main theories, the lab leak remains distinctly unpopular on the political left.” Noah Carl explains why in his latest substack update.
  • “Card shop owners who refused to close during lockdown fined £35,000” – The couple argued that their card shop should have stayed open because it sold essentials items, reports Yahoo News.
  • “Vaccine efficacy and the case for living with the virus” – “Vaccines aren’t going to eradicate the virus,” writes Kate Andrews in the Spectator.
  • “Doubts grow over the future of AstraZeneca’s Covid vaccine” – A Government deal to buy 35 million doses of Pfizer booster shots adds to clouds over the AstraZeneca jab, reports the Telegraph.
  • “Samples From Early Wuhan Covid Patients Had Genetically Modified Henipah, One of Two Types of Viruses Sent From Canadian Lab” – Samples from early Wuhan Covid patients show the presence of genetically modified Henipah virus, an American scientist has found, as reported in the Epoch Times.
  • “Does the FDA think these data justify the first full approval of a covid-19 vaccine” – “I reiterate our call: ‘Slow down and get the science right – there is no legitimate reason to hurry to grant a license to a Covid vaccine,'” writes Peter Doshi in the BMJ.
  • “Fully Vaccinated Healthcare Workers Carry 251 Times Viral Load, Pose Threat to Unvaccinated Patients, Co-Workers” – A groundbreaking preprint paper by the prestigious Oxford University Clinical Research Group, published in the Lancet, includes alarming findings devastating to the Covid vaccine roll-out, reports the Defender.
  • “The new Black Lives Matter: What the next import from the U.S. might be” – “The enthusiastic reception journalists offered Russiagate contrasts sharply with their response to the New York Post’s October 2020 revelations about the business dealings of Hunter Biden,” writes Collingwood in his latest column in Bournbrook Magazine.
  • “Nuclear Power Not Welcome at COP26” – “The anti-energy, anti-economics left cannot get out of their own way,” writes Robert Bradley Jr. in Watts Up With That. “James Hansen, father of the climate alarm, understands that it is nuclear or bust against carbon-based mineral energies.”
  • “Diesel cars for me but not for thee” – Alok Sharma, Allegra Stratton and an XR founder have all admitted to driving diesel cars, reports Spiked.
  • “Four mega-trends that condemn the West to irreversible decline” – We are hobbling ourselves with net zero and wokery, as our rivals grow rich while rejecting our values, writes Allister Heath in the Telegraph.
  • “Netflix’s new show The Chair is all too true” – “This series depicts American academics under siege from students eager to take offence. It’s happening in the U.K. too,” writes History Professor Gerard DeGroot in the Times.
  • “Let’s leave the kids’ books out of it” – “Why are feminists blaming The Tiger Who Came To Tea for violence against women,” asks Ella Whelan in Spiked.
  • “Keeping up appearances” – “Homophobic attacks and hate crimes against gay and transgender people are reprehensible. But are things so bad in the UK that we need to paint our cop cars with rainbows,” asks Roger Watson in Unity News Network.
  • “Professor Robert Dingwall criticises mask mandates that were imposed without evidence whether they would be beneficial” – “18 months in and we still haven’t commissioned the research,” says Professor Robert Dingwall on talkRADIO. “There was a grabbing for interventions without evidence.”

Professor of Sociology Robert Dingwall has criticised mask mandates that were imposed without evidence whether they would be beneficial.
