News Round-Up

17 November 2021 11:29 PM

  • “Inside the Austrian lockdown” – We visit Vienna to explore the world’s first lockdown for the unvaccinated, reports Freddie Sayers in UnHerd.
  • “Sorry Sajid Javid, but the NHS does not deserve our blind respect” – Conservatives used to understand that the health service is there to serve the public, not the other way around, writes Patrick O’Flynn in the Telegraph.
  • “Shroud-waving NHS bosses are a plague of every winter” – “The aim of all this shroud-waving is clearly to compel the Government to inject yet more money into the NHS. This approach has already proved effective, with record sums being handed to our beleaguered health service,” argues Professor Angus Dalgleish for the Mail.
  • “Michael Gove and Matt Hancock among 10 Tories who helped PPE firms win £1.6bn in Covid contracts” – “A leaked list has revealed the 47 companies awarded lucrative contracts after being recommended by an MP, a peer or an official,” reports the Times.
  • “Mass confusion over Covid vaccines for teenagers could make reluctant parents more nervous” – Lack of clear messaging on when 12 to 15 year-olds should be jabbed means many will question whether it is needed at all, write Sarah Knapton and Joe Pinkstone in the Telegraph.
  • “Totalitarianism and the five stages of dehumanisation” – “There is no doubt that we are faced with a global paradigm that brings forth steadily expanding totalitarian tendencies, and these need not even be planned intentionally or maliciously,” writes Christiaan W. J. M. Alting Von Geusau for the Brownstone Institute.  
  • “Should children be vaccinated against Covid?” – “It is unethical to ask children to take a vaccine to boost herd immunity or to offset political decisions such as school closures, at a stage when the drug trials have still to be completed,” argues HART.
  • “Is the Yellow Card database completely useless or not?” – “In this post I compare a small set of Yellow Card side effects to data obtained from hospital admissions. I find that for most side effects the Yellow Card system significantly under-reports the side effects,” writes Bartram in his latest Substack update.
  • “MPs voted by proxy while at Euro 2020 match” – “A dozen Tory MPs including the Chief Whip cast proxy votes so that they could watch England at a football match during the summer, it has emerged,” reports the Times.
  • “The cost of Covid: what happens when children don’t go to school” – “School closures have immediate and long-term effects on students, both emotionally and economically. They will also have a ripple effect on a country and on income inequality,” argues Conrad Hughes in the Conversation.
  • “More people died in the key clinical trial for Pfizer’s Covid vaccine than the company publicly reported” – Pfizer told the world 15 people who received the vaccine in its trial had died as of mid-March. Turns out the real number then was 21, compared to only 17 deaths in people who hadn’t been vaccinated, reports Alex Berenson in his latest Substack update.
  • “U.S. state representatives vote to compensate ‘vaccine-related injuries’ due to mandates” – “The Idaho state house passed legislation that would enable people to receive workers’ compensation if they fall ill due to a mandated Covid shot, with the bill finding bipartisan support in the Republican-dominated state,” reports RT.
  • “U.S. recorded 100,000 drug overdose deaths in the first year of Covid” – The CDC has recorded that there were more than 100,000 drug overdose deaths during the first year of pandemic related lockdowns, reports the Mail.
  • “‘1,000 hospitalisations a day’ as France faces devastating fifth Covid wave as cases soar” – France faces a devastating fifth wave of Covid, according to the country’s Health Minister, reports the Express.
  • “Vaclav Havel and the semiotics of public masking” – “I believe Havel, the great scholar of theatre and social semiology, would have no problem correctly identifying our current mask theatre as the destructive and repressive farce that it is,” writes Thomas Harrington for the Brownstone Institute.
  • “Britain’s eco-warriors sent to jail for road blockages” – “The U.K. has jailed nine Insulate Britain eco-warriors guilty of breaching an injunction banning them from road blockades, after they vowed to keep up the disruptive demonstrations,” reports RT.
  • “Jailed Insulate Britain protester went globe-trotting in a gas-guzzling 4×4 pick-up truck” – ‘Hypocrite’ Emma Smart insists blocking traffic was ‘morally right’, despite going on a 81,000-mile road trip in a diesel four-wheel drive, reports the Telegraph.
  • “BBC believes a conspiracy drives climate conspiracy theories” – “The possibility that people might want to reject climate lockdowns and Covid lockdowns of their own volition does not seem to occur to BBC conspiracy theorists,” writes Eric Worrall in Watts Up With That?
  • “Andrew Neil: BBC and Sky are acting as the ‘PR department of Greenpeace’” – Former GB News anchor also claims broadcasters colluded in Russia conspiracy theories and failed to tell the truth about Covid, reports the Telegraph.
  • “The women we listen to, and the women we ignore” – Feminists line up behind middle-class victims of bum-touching but ignore working-class victims of grooming gangs, writes Brendan O’Neill in Spiked.
  • “Sussex University probed over trans rights row” – “England’s higher education watchdog is investigating whether Sussex University failed to uphold its freedom of speech obligations after a high-profile transgender rights row saw a professor resign after getting death threats,” reports RT.
