News Round-Up

by Michael Curzon
13 September 2021 12:38 AM

  • “Why the Government was right to drop vaccine passports” – Calculation of risk belongs in the hands of the people, writes Lionel Shriver in the Spectator.
  • “Stronger, More Robust Natural Immunity Thwarts Any Case for Vaccine Passports” – “Even taken on their own merits, these prohibitions amount to nothing more than a coin flip against each and every person turned away. Considered in full, they are cruel, discriminatory, and ultimately self-defeating,” writes Jon Sanders in AIER.
  • “Britain must put an end to all Covid restrictions” – Dropping Covid passports is a big step in the right direction, reads the article in the latest Sunday Telegraph.
  • “Health officials ‘already working with schools on jabs for under-16s’” – Health Secretary Sajid Javid reveals that preparations are already being made as he says he expects the U.K.’s chief medics to decide on a mass roll-out for 12-15 year olds imminently, reports MailOnline.
  • “Covid cases and deaths fall” – Department of Health figures show 29,173 daily cases were recorded across the U.K. on Sunday, compared to 37,011 last week – a reduction of more than a fifth – while Covid deaths fell from 68 to 56, reports MailOnline.
  • “Sajid Javid warns of possible bad flu season due to concerning levels of immunity following Covid restrictions last winter” – Sajid Javid has told Sky News he is “concerned” that the U.K. could witness a bad flu season due to there being “a lot less immunity” around to the virus because of the Covid restrictions that were in place last winter.
  • “Survey suggests U.K. workers are beginning to return to city centres” – With some firms offering free food and gifts to tempt staff back, one barometer of activity around central London offices recorded an increase of almost 5%, reports the Guardian.
  • “Prominent Medical Boards’ Message to Physicians – Keep Quiet on Covid Vaccine or Risk Loss of Licensure & Economic Livelihood” – “You can only talk about the vaccine in the way agreed upon by the current consensus of interests,” writes TrialSite.
  • “Our attitude to death determines how we live” – “Even if death is the end, what attitude can or should we have towards this life,” asks Frank Palmer in TCW Defending Freedom.
  • “Covid travel test firms on U.K. Government list refusing to give refunds” – Companies including Boots appear to be flouting consumer law, reports the Guardian.
  • “Challenging Fiction With Facts: The ‘Open Secret’ of Covid Corruption” – Omar Khan interviews Dr. Harvey Risch of Yale University on the consistent corruption of credibility through the Covid era.
  • “Grotesque conflicts of interest on NIH ivermectin non-recommendation” – “The grotesque conflicts of interest of panel members should make it clear that the NIH, as the FDA with its slandering of ivermectin as a “horse dewormer,” should not be taken seriously,” writes Peter Yim in TrialSite.
  • “Calls for Nicola Sturgeon to scrap vaccine passports are mounting” – Scotland’s licensed trade industry and Holyrood’s opposition leaders urged the First Minister to reconsider after England shelved the plan, reports the Telegraph.
  • “No independence referendum until Covid restrictions lifted, Sturgeon says” – Scotland’s First Minister confirms a poll will not be held until curbs are lifted and pressure on the NHS has eased, reports the Guardian.
  • “‘No Health Pass’: Tens of Thousands Join Protests Against Vaccine Passports in France” – Protesters in France for a ninth consecutive weekend took to the streets to again rally against vaccine passports, reports the Epoch Times.
  • “Coronavirus-sniffing dogs deployed at Miami International Airport” – Cobra, a Belgian malinois, and One Betta, a Dutch shepherd, have been trained to sniff out the presence of Covid and will be deployed at Miami International Airport for a two week trial, reports MailOnline.
  • “Shutdown: the end of an economic era?” – Adam Tooze shows how the pandemic has exposed the frailty of an unhealthy economic system, writes Phil Mullan in Spiked.
  • “Oh Boris, you turned into Jeremy Corbyn!” – In a lacerating cri de coeur, the Mail on Sunday‘s Personal Finance Editor warns that the Prime Minister’s un-Tory tax grab may be just the start of a very costly lurch to the left.
  • “Sir Keir Starmer ridiculed over 14,000-word vision for Labour, as he is told ‘no one will read it’” – MPs say his essay will do little to win back voters who abandoned the party at the 2019 election, reports the Telegraph.
  • “Blue-tick Twitter is spoiling Emma Raducanu’s victory” – “The retweet-junkies of the world know that major sporting events are great opportunities to generate online engagement and improve your profile,” writes Freddie Gray in the Spectator.
  • “Chinese national hockey team arrives in Sweden” – The Chinese national hockey team arrived in Sweden today in a laughable amount of protective garb, showing that the fear lives on.

This is not a joke. The Chinese national hockey team just arrived in Sweden. Seriously afraid of coming to Covid Land. Curious to know how they will dress for match in the graveyard of ambition when it comes to handling the pandemic. pic.twitter.com/96yF3MAsQu
