News Round-Up

by Michael Curzon
28 October 2021 11:58 PM

  • “Covid cases in children fall as ‘most have already had the virus’” – Nearly three in four children aged between five and 14 have already been infected, causing spread in schools to slow, reports the Telegraph.
  • “Why are Covid cases going down” – “What has caused the current slide in new infections, if not ‘Plan B’,” asks Ross Clark in the Spectator.
  • “300 ‘next gen’ Covid jabs could make herd immunity possible” – A U.K. Health Security Agency virologist says the Covid vaccines we have available should be considered the “first generation” and that the 300 in development could be even more effective.
  • “The Case for Vaccine Mandates – Refuted” – Fear of unvaccinated people does not give the Government grounds to launch a preemptive strike forcing people to get vaccinated – or to force employers to do their dirty work for them, writes Jon Hersey in Fee.
  • “Jabbed families have 25% risk of getting Covid from each other, study” – Double jabbed people still have a 25% risk of passing and catching the virus on to members of their household, according to a study by Imperial College London researchers.
  • “Cheap antidepressant ‘could reduce Covid hospital admissions by 32%’” – A cheap oral antidepressant could save the lives of Covid patients and reduce hospital admissions by 32%, according to a new study.
  • “The Covid vaccine victims who will not be silenced” – “It’s hard to tell sometimes whether the mainstream media is ingenuous and stupid, or disingenuous and malign,” writes Kathy Gyngell in TCW Defending Freedom.
  • “Holding The Line” – Here’s a round-up of some of the journalists opposed to Covid censorship.
  • “France records 1,300 resignations among nurses, Health Minister says, but dismisses reports of hospital capacity suffering” – French healthcare has seen some 1,300 resignations, according to the Minister for Health, amid reports that hospitals have closed 20% of beds due to understaffing. The cause is seemingly unknown to the Government, reports RT.
  • “Why are we so afraid of nuclear power?” – “To continue our present civilisation, we need a steady supply of energy. We could easily have had it by now from safely controlled nuclear fission,” writes James Lovelock in the Spectator.
  • “What’s really behind the net-zero zealotry of big businesses?” – “Small businesses are struggling to engage with the Government’s net-zero agenda because they lack ‘bandwidth’, by which he meant that they didn’t have dedicated sustainability officers and the like whose entire jobs revolve around environmental issues,” writes Ross Clark in the Spectator.
  • “The madness of Net Zero” – Bjorn Lomborg and Brendan O’Neill discuss the dangers of green virtue-signalling in the latest Spiked podcast.
  • “All that glitters is not gold… Especially when it’s a Government surveillance coin” – Laura Dodsworth writes on the details neglected by Rishi Sunak’s bright, breezy ‘Britcoin’ video in her latest Substack update.
  • “Tories have taken taxes to a 71 year high, and this could be just the start” – Sunak’s promise to shift to tax cuts threatens to be derailed by inflation, net zero – and Boris Johnson, writes Fraser Nelson in the Telegraph.
  • “Why children should be taught original sin” – “Katharine Birbalsingh shouldn’t be attacked for stating the obvious,” writes Marie K. Daouda in UnHerd.
  • “Why do we leap to the defence of those who hate us?” – “It’s a lesson the Right is incapable of learning, and the reason the Left has been so absolutely dominant for so long,” writes Frederick Edward in Bournbrook Magazine.
  • “Cross-dressing ad fiasco shows that advertisers should spare us the tiresome woke sermonising” – A controversial John Lewis insurance ad showing a boy in a dress has had to be dropped because it was misleading. Why should marketing execs worry about accuracy when displaying their woke credentials is clearly the priority, asks Joanna Williams in RT.
  • “De Kock sorry for not taking a knee” – South Africa’s Quinton de Kock apologises after refusing to take a knee against the West Indies in a cricket match and says he is “not a racist”, reports BBC News.
  • “Kathleen Stock resigns from University of Sussex after trans rights row” – An academic who was subjected to “bullying and harassment” by her students because of her views on transgender rights has resigned, reports the Times.
  • “Patrick Vallance tells Brits to eat less meat and take fewer flights to help save the planet” – Kevin O’Sullivan says on talkRADIO: “Don’t you tell me how much meat I can eat! It’s outrageous and I’m sick of it! It’s all a fantasy anyway.”

The Government's chief scientific advisor Patrick Vallance has asked Brits to eat less meat and take fewer flights to help save the planet.
