News Round-Up

  • “Web or phone medical appointments ‘disastrous’ for some patients” – “Remote medical consultations have been ‘disastrous’ for some patients, according to a review, with 93% of clinicians saying that the quality of diagnoses was worse as a result,” reports the Times.
  • “From lockdown to net zero, accountability is dead in British politics” – Ministers increasingly favour statutory instruments over the parliamentary process, making a mockery of our democracy, writes Steve Baker in the Telegraph.
  • “The slippery slope: Covidian sludge” – “In many areas of the United States there are no mask requirements now, many tens of thousands are merrily packed into arenas, dining indoors… However, often in that same city Uber drivers require customers to wear masks, take photos of themselves wearing masks and upload it onto the Uber App before their next ride,” Omar Khan writes on the political and societal factors that have made lockdown restrictions a reality in Uncommon Wisdom.
  • “FDA’s fraudulent modelling to justify vaccinating five to 11 year-olds” – “The decision to vaccinate children is reckless and the way the data has been presented as representing the risk to healthy children, is, whether deliberately or not, fraudulent,” writes HART.
  • “U.K. NIHR bombshell: fully vaccinated serve as vectors, comparable transmission to household contacts” – “Vaccinated people can efficiently transmit SARS-CoV-2 in household settings too, meaning the vaccinated serve as vectors of the disease,” Trialsite report on the ineffectiveness of vaccines in stopping Covid.
  • “Exposed: the plague of fake medical trials putting lives in danger” – “According to bombshell allegations from a group of highly respected experts, the medical world is rife with research fraud. Their investigations suggest up to one in five medical studies published each year could contain invented or plagiarised results,” reports MailOnline.
  • “One in four middle-aged people not bothering with Covid self-isolation” – Full adherence with isolation requirements has fallen from 86% in the summer, ONS data suggest, reports the Telegraph.
  • “‘Coercion is not consent’: Aussie sports star & registered nurse defends stance against ‘experimental’ Covid vaccine (Video)” – “Australian rules football star Deni Varnhagen, who is also an ICU nurse, is refusing to back down in her opposition to Covid vaccine mandates after taking part in a demonstration to rail against a ‘medical experiment’,” reports RT.
  • “(New normal) winter is Coming” – “The vast majority of the Western world has been transformed into a pseudo-medical dystopia,” C.J. Hopkins foresees a repressive winter on the horizon in OffGuardian.
  • “Did Covid first emerge at the Wuhan Institute of Virology?” – The net around the Wuhan Institute of Virology continues to tighten. A letter from Lawrence Tabak, Principal Deputy Director of the National Institutes of Health in the U.S., has shed more light on the grant which the institute made to the EcoHealth Alliance for work at the Wuhan Institute,” writes Ross Clark in the Spectator.
  • “The dark side of working from home” – We are blurring the line between our working and private lives, Para Mullin argues that working from home is a danger to both our privacy and family life in Spiked.
  • “Eco-alarmism: grassroots or astroturf?” – Climate alarmist ideology is an elite movement, promoted and bankrolled by societal institutions in league with the state looking to exploit the hysteria to seize more power, argues Alexander Adams in Bournbrook Magazine.
  • “The BBC’s prophet of doom belongs in a pulpit” – Roger Harrabin, the BBC’s environment analyst, doesn’t even attempt to suggest his claims about the state of the planet are disputable, writes Charles Moore in the Telegraph.
  • “The great climate change fallacy” – The hysterical headlines are based on an unlikely scenario, Tom Chivers examines the dodgy models used to prop up climate alarmist rhetoric in UnHerd.
  • “Opposition to coking coal exposes the folly of our climate debate” – In the medium term, we face two options: mining coking coal here, as cleanly as possible, or importing it from elsewhere, writes Andrew Willshire in the Telegraph.
  • “I want to save the planet but I resent being told how to” – “The parade of 400 private jets parked up at Scottish airports as world leaders, royalty and billionaires gushed out more carbon within a 24 hour period than most of us will in a lifetime in order to arrive at Cop26 and preach that we must all change our lives forever,” Dan Wotton writes on the explicit hypocrisy of those attending COP26 in MailOnline.
  • “Petition: hold a referendum on whether to keep the 2050 net zero target” – “Set a referendum on whether the UK should continue with its 2050 net zero target,” click on the link above if you wish to sign this petition.
  • The Old Vic’s cancellation of Terry Gilliam is unprecedented insanity” – The London theatre needed Sondheim’s Into the Woods to survive 2022 – but a tiny minority have reportedly stabbed it in the back, writes Dominic Cavendish in the Telegraph.
  • “When mob rule dictates that we must all cheer a male homecoming queen, it’s clear that society is close to collapse” – “The unchallenged compliance afforded by many in endorsing previously unthinkable scenarios – like teenage boys being crowned homecoming queens – should set the alarm bells ringing as to where our civilization is headed,” writes Brendan Heard in RT.
  • “Imprisoning Twitter trolls is a dangerous game” – It may feel morally righteous, but it’s entirely subjective, Noah Carl writes on the arbitrary and partisan nature of criminalising online speech in UnHerd.
  • “The real harm in the Online Harms Bill” – The conflation of ‘speech’ with ‘harm’ would create a net that would ensnare all political dissident and argument, writes Sam Ashworth-Hayes in the Spectator.
  • “‘White privilege’ should not be taught in schools” – Toby speaks to TalkRadio on why ‘white privilege’ should not be taught as truth in the classroom: “The fact is, white working-class boys are amongst the lowest achieving in Britain.”

Toby Young from the Free Speech Union says "white privilege" should not be taught in schools.
