News Round-Up

3 November 2021 11:01 PM

  • “Health bosses will unveil plans for compulsory Covid jabs in NHS” – It is understood that the Government plans to announce shortly that doctors and nurses in England will need to be double-jabbed against Covid by April next year, reports MailOnline.
  • “No, Alice, it will never be freedom day” – “Like Alice, I can believe six impossible things before breakfast. But that this, or any government, will relinquish the powers Covid legislation has granted is not one of them,” writes Mary McGreechin in TCW.
  • “Thousands of women told they have ‘long Covid’ may have the menopause” – Long Covid is an un-defined condition which includes a whole suite of debilitating symptoms. But experts say many of its hallmark traits have a ‘significant overlap’ with the menopause, reports MailOnline.
  • “CDC changed definition of ‘vaccine’ because of Covid vaccines: Emails” – “The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) altered the definition of ‘vaccine’ because of concern that the definition didn’t apply to Covid vaccines, according to newly released internal emails,” reports the Epoch Times.
  • “China is suffering its most widespread Covid outbreak since Wuhan” – More than 600 locally-transmitted cases have been found in 19 of China’s 31 provinces amid what the Government called a ‘serious’ new outbreak of the infectious Delta variant, reports Mailonline.
  • “The E.U. is not revealing the details of its contracts with vaccine makers. Why?” – “As some Europeans continue to resist mandatory vaccine measures, a group of parliamentarians have upbraided the Commission for allowing pharmaceutical companies to ‘run roughshod over democracy’,” writes Robert Bridge in RT.
  • “Researcher refuses vaccines because he’s had a dose of his own Covid jab” – “An Adelaide medical researcher who has developed and been administered with his own Covid vaccine says he is facing the sack because of his refusal to get one of the TGA-approved jabs,” reports ABC News.
  • “Ontario won’t mandate Covid vaccines for hospital workers” – “Premier Doug Ford has announced he will not mandate Covid vaccines for hospital workers, saying he’s ‘not prepared to jeopardize the delivery of care to millions of Ontarians’,” reports CTV News.
  • “Let’s compare Sweden’s Covid outcome to that of its lockdown-crazed former possession of Latvia” – “Latvia has been extremely gung ho on lockdowns, locking down early, hard, and often, and garnering considerable praise for doing so,” says Marko Marjanović. He examines the contrasting measures taken by these two similar nations in Anti-Empire.
  • “The Covid tyranny: how can we encourage the silent middle to speak out?” – “Those of us – perhaps around 10% of the population – who have already been openly sceptical about the dominant Covid story will often have found the last 20 months extremely frustrating,” writes Gary Sidley. He says that overt sceptics must encourage others to express their views openly in Coronababble.
  • “The news is being nudged” – “We would criticise such blatant propaganda if it happened in any other country,” Laura Dodsworth says in her latest Substack post about the monopolistic control ‘behavioural science teams’ possess over the news media.
  • “If COP26 was one minute to midnight, why did so many delegates arrive on private jets?” – You wouldn’t start a conference on famine with an eight-course meal at the Ritz – or perhaps, in the strange world of rich people, you would, Tim Stanley says, commenting on the hypocrisy of COP26 attendees.
  • “Where is the climate plan B?” – If the green tech never arrives, net zero could plunge millions into poverty, The Spectator argues that relying on innovative ‘green’ technologies is risky and unsustainable.
  • “Journalists have morphed into climate activists” – They have abandoned all pretence of objectivity, argues Joanna Williams in Spiked.
  • “I’m no fan of the Chinese Communist Party – but on the environment, they’ve got it right” – Hair-shirt Western policies are in vain while China goes its own way, argues Ross Clark in the Telegraph.
  • “Climate change is no catastrophe” – Attempts to stop warming will backfire dangerously, argues Michael Shellenberger in UnHerd.
  • “Twelve trans sex offenders moved to women’s prisons in Scotland over past 18 months” – “A dozen transgender inmates sentenced for violent and sexual crimes have been serving time in women’s jails in Scotland, according to official data,” reports RT.
  • “Kathleen Stock: I won’t be silenced” – The trans activist campaign against the former Sussex Professor has backfired, says Julie Bindel, who interviews the cancelled academic in UnHerd.
  • “Want to fight back against wokery? Cancel a direct debit today” – Our great institutions are in trouble now they’ve appalled their loyal supporters… and we’re voting with our wallets, Allison Pearson discusses this culture war tactic in the Telegraph.
  • “The parents’ revolt in Virginia” – Glenn Youngkin’s shock victory shows that parents have had enough of woke education, says Fraser Myers in Spiked.
  • “Schools cannot close again” – The Commons Education Committee Chairman, Robert Halfon MP, speaks to TalkRadio on why schools must never be closed again as a Covid response measure.

Robert Halfon MP, Commons education committee chairman, is introducing a Bill to prevent schools being shut again due to Covid.
