News Round-Up

by Michael Curzon
18 October 2021 11:04 PM

  • “‘Burnt-out’ GPs need a dose of reality” – The average GP is working a shorter week and just over half of that is spent with patients – overworking is not the problem, writes James Le Fanu in the Telegraph.
  • “Did the Johnsons breach lockdown rules?” – “When the claims first emerged, they received a furious slap down from all sides…Only a few hours later and it’s clear these responses only tell half the story,” writes ‘Steerpike’ in the Spectator.
  • “French Covid vaccine abandoned by U.K. found to be more effective than AstraZeneca jab” – The lead investigator is left asking why a contract for the Valneva jab was cancelled before further testing and trial data could be reviewed, reports the Telegraph.
  • “Action needed now on the Coronavirus Act” – “It is very important that sceptics challenge each and every one of the claims made in defence of the Coronavirus Act by the Government,” writes Anthony Webber in TCW Defending Freedom.
  • “The FDA’s War Against the Truth on Ivermectin” – “The FDA spreads lies and alarms Americans while preventing drug companies from providing us with scientific explorations of existing, promising, generic drugs,” writes Charles L. Hooper and David R. Henderson in AIER.
  • “Veteran state trooper forced out for refusing Covid jab, signs off for last time by telling governor to ‘kiss my ass’” – A veteran Washington state trooper used his last moments on the job to tell the Governor whose Covid vaccine mandate essentially ended his career to “kiss my ass”, striking a nerve in a nation divided over jab authoritarianism, reports RT.
  • “Freedom Prevails: Florida registers nation’s lowest Covid case numbers” – “Florida is now outperforming every state in the contiguous United States in terms of new Covid cases per capita. And they did it all without a Vax Pass system, widespread business closures, mask mandates, and/or draconian lockdowns,” writes Jordan Schachtel in his latest Substack update.
  • “White House Downplays Biden Not Wearing Mask While Walking Inside Restaurant” – The White House has authentic but downplayed footage of the President breaking mask-wearing rules.
  • “Police officers are stood down for not having a Covid vaccine” – Victoria Police has confirmed 34 police officers and nine Protective Services Officers have been stood down after refusing to get a Covid vaccine.
  • “Italian riot police fire tear gas, water cannon at anti-Covid health pass protesters blocking Trieste port” – Police in northeastern Italy deployed tear gas and water cannon to disperse protesters staging a sit-in at Trieste port in opposition to the introduction of the country’s ‘Green Pass’ Covid health document, reports RT.
  • “SAS, Norwegian to drop mask requirement for Scandinavian flights” – Airlines SAS and Norwegian will drop their requirement for travelers to wear face masks on flights within and between Scandinavia on October 18th, reports Sveriges Radio.
  • “While we tie ourselves up in environmental regulations, China is taking advantage” – No wonder President Xi doesn’t want to come to COP26. He wouldn’t be able to stop himself laughing, writes Ross Clark in the Telegraph.
  • “There is nothing ‘normal’ about our addiction to alcohol” – In the Telegraph’s latest ‘Mad World’ podcast, Camilla Tominey talks about how as a teetotaller she has to constantly justify why she doesn’t drink.
  • “Free speech didn’t kill David Amess” – There’s no evidence that heated rhetoric caused the MP’s death, writes Brendan O’Neill in the Spectator.
  • “Crisis is the new normal” – The Left’s embrace of globalism has left Britain on life support, writes Aris Roussinos in UnHerd.
  • “How Stonewall conquered our institutions” – Nolan Investigates Stonewall exposes why so many public bodies uncritically embraced the trans lobby, writes Joanna Williams in Spiked.
  • “The feminist revolution is eating its children” – “Professor Kathleen Stock’s rejection of transgender orthodoxy that people can change their sex at will and are entitled to impose their ‘preferred pronouns’ on the populace has attracted and exposed the worst of pro-transgender ‘activism’,” writes Luke Perry in Bournbrook Magazine.
  • “When it’s best not to ignore terrible science” – Professor Francois Balloux says a press release on “human children as reservoirs for a virus infecting human adults” is “such an egregious example of many things that are wrong with Covid mainstream science that it may be worth a comment”.

I generally try to ignore terrible science, rather than risk amplifying it, but this is such an egregious example of many things that are wrong with COVID-19 mainstream science, that it may be worth a comment.
