News Round-Up

by Luke Perry
5 November 2021 11:20 PM

  • “U.K. Covid cases may have peaked for this year, study suggests” – Data from Zoe study shows fall in under 18s but cases still rising in older people, reports the Guardian.
  • “When fear leads to tyranny” – Democracy is being quietly redefined, says Jonathan Sumption in UnHerd.

  • “Doctor banned from social media in ‘masks do nothing’ row takes his case to High Court” – Freedom of expression battle after GP appeals against conditions imposed on him following video in which he complained about Covid restrictions, reports the Telegraph.
  • “Costly PCR tests no longer needed, says top scientist” – “Britain’s mass PCR testing programme has become a ‘money-making exercise’ for private laboratories and has outlived its usefulness, a leading scientist has said,” reports the Times.
  • “Pfizer’s Covid pill cuts deaths and hospitalisations by 89%” – Experts said the drug could mark a ‘new era’ in preventing serious Covid infection, reports the Telegraph.
  • “U.K. approval of molnupiravir may create new and more dangerous Covid variants” – The potential mutagenic effects of molnupiravir on Covid itself are a danger to population health, and a glaring blindspot for the review committees involved, argues William A. Haseltine in Forbes.
  • “Covid cases & deaths skyrocket in Germany as breakthrough infections on the rise” – “Although Germany is nearly 70% fully vaccinated and the overwhelming majority of people 18 and up are immunized, the number of Covid cases now skyrockets as a fourth wave sweeps through Germany,” reports Trialsite.
  • “U.S. condemns 28 million children to needless Covid jab” – 28 million U.S. children are now eligible to be vaccinated even when the facts say they shouldn’t be, argues Kathy Gyngell in TCW.
  • “Are the ‘vaccines’ safe and effective?” – The editor of the BMJ, Dr. Peter Doshi, gives evidence to an expert panel on Covid vaccine mandates and injuries.
  • “Covid: how long does vaccine based immunity last?” – Here I discuss a fascinating Swedish study that shows how good the Covid vaccines are in the real world, how long their effect lasts, and whether or not boosting makes sense, writes Sebastian Rushworth.
  • “UKHSA efficacy stats death watch: week 44” – Slow-motion meltdown at the U.K. Health Security Agency as the numbers they’ve locked themselves into publishing just continue to be bad, writes Eugyppius in his latest Substack update.
  • “A review and autopsy of two Covid immunity studies” – “I have never before seen such a large discrepancy between studies that are supposed to answer the same question. In this article, I carefully dissect both studies, describe how the analyses differ, and explain why the Israeli study is more reliable,” writes Martin Kulldorff for the Brownstone Institute.
  • “Man vs the elite” – S.D. Wickett, Michael Curzon and Luke Perry discuss COP26 and the latest Covid stories in Bournbrook Magazine’s regular podcast.
  • “Climate change to be taught to schoolchildren as young as five in major shake-up” – Children as young as five will be taught about climate change during science lessons for the first time under changes being made to the curriculum, reports the Express.
  • “We’ll all pay for turning big oil into a pariah” – Nobody is standing up to the hysteria of green activists and admitting: we still need hydrocarbons, writes Jeremy Warner in the Telegraph.
  • “COP26 was riddled with hypocrisy” – “It’s the stinking hypocrisy that sticks in my craw, the ‘do as I say, not as I do’ arrogance of all this,” writes Richard Littlejohn in the Mail.
  • “Coal keeps lights on at COP26 as low wind strikes again” – On November 3rd 2021, a lack of wind power led to skyrocketing costs on the GB Balancing Mechanism. Only fossil fuels saved the day, reports John Constable in Net Zero Watch.
  • “Stop calling climate change a ‘war’ – it is the opposite” – Governments and activists are using martial language to bully us into accepting policies without scrutiny, argues Ryan Bourne in the Telegraph.
  • “The climate scaremongers: a weekly round-up” – Paul Homewood exposes some of the falsehoods and hysterical predictions peddled by the climate alarmist lobby in TCW.
  • “Inconvenient truths behind climate change hysteria” – The roots of today’s green movement are profoundly anti-human, argues Melanie Phillips in her latest Substack update.
  • “‘You are looking at the American dream’: ex-Marine Winsome Sears’ Virginia victory speech” – Winsome Sears gave this speech in full Tuesday night after becoming the first female African-American to be elected Virginia Lieutenant Governor.
  • “Be wary of comparing Covid rates in England with other countries” – Professor Carl Henegan speaks to TalkRadio: “two weeks ago everyone was looking at how well Europe was doing but yesterday Germany reported its highest case load ever.”

Professor Carl Heneghan warns that people should be wary of comparing Covid rates in England with other countries.
