News Round-Up

by Luke Perry
4 December 2021 10:20 PM

  • “U.K. tightens travel rules amid Omicron spread” – Travellers to the U.K. will have to have a negative Covid test before departure, the Government says, reports BBC News.
  • “It is dangerously misleading to talk about the ‘war’ against Covid” – Wars come to an end, usually definitively. But the virus is not an enemy that will eventually surrender, writes Janet Daley in the Telegraph.
  • “Anti-lockdown protests in York, Austria and the Netherlands” – “Thousands of anti-lockdown protestors have descended on the streets of York, Austria, and the Netherlands as Europe faces up to a new Covid strain,” reports MailOnline.
  • “The chilling new ‘advice’ on vaccine heart risk for children” – “It is a clear admission that myocarditis is a serious post-vaccine adverse reaction risk,” says Kathy Gyngell, who investigates the Government’s new document commenting on the link between myocarditis and vaccination in TCW.
  • “Covid travel ‘loophole’ allows passengers to reuse PCR test codes” – Thousands of travellers thought to have used the ruse to avoid buying a new PCR test upon arriving in the U.K., reports the Telegraph.
  • “The Moronic variant” – Michael Curzon and Luke Perry discuss the hysteria surrounding the Omicron variant and delays to NHS cancer treatment in Bournbrook Magazine’s regular podcast.
  • “Thousands facing heart problems due to ‘post-pandemic stress disorder’” – “Up to 300,000 people in the U.K. are facing heart-related illnesses due to post-pandemic stress disorder, two London physicians have warned,” reports Evening Standard.
  • “Covid variants don’t warrant restrictions on our freedom” – For good reason, we do not respond with border closures and restrictions on school children every time a new influenza mutation is detected, writes Sunetra Gupta in the Telegraph.
  • “All hail Covid” – “What has been witnessed in the last two years is not medical science. It is the death of reason and the birth of a religious cult. The Church of Covid fathered illegitimately by the financial elite and delivered from the womb of governments,” writes the Covid Physician.
  • “‘I don’t like mandates’: Germans and Austrians on new Covid measures” – People give their views on compulsory jabs and restrictions on those who have not been vaccinated, reports the Guardian.
  • “Don’t let schools cancel Christmas” – The traditional nativity play is being sacrificed in the name of fighting Covid, writes Jordan Tyldesley in Spiked.
  • “The scale of the cancer crisis is nothing short of catastrophic” – Every missed diagnosis is a grandfather, a mother, a friend, a colleague. As a society, we have let them down, argues Professor Karol Sikora in the Telegraph.
  • “Should Big Pharma be destroyed?” – “You can change the system, change the incentives, encourage the behaviour you want, without smashing the system entirely,” says Tom Chivers, who imagines how the pharmaceutical industry can better serve the needs of the people in UnHerd.
  • “‘The cancer legacy could be worse than the damage caused by Covid’” – The U.K. is facing a ‘cancer catastrophe’, after huge numbers of referrals were missed during lockdown, reports the Telegraph.
  • “The Covid testing regime comes to the pub league” – “I know the league has taken a precaution, but there’s always room for it to go horribly wrong,” says Luke Perry, who writes about the unintended consequences of his local pub darts league recommending that all players get tested in Bullseyes and Booze.
  • “Nevada becomes first state to impose surcharge on unvaccinated workers” – “Nevada on Thursday became the first U.S. state to impose a surcharge on workers who have not gotten a Covid vaccine, though the penalty doesn’t take effect until the middle of next year,” reports the Epoch Times.
  • “In boycotting white-owned shops, Black Lives Matter insults the spirit of Christmas” – BLM’s ‘Black Xmas’ campaign reveals everything wrong with the organisation, argues Calvin Robinson in the Telegraph.
  • “John McWhorter on why woke ideas harm minority communities” – John McWhorter and Yascha Mounk discuss whether ‘wokeness’ is a religion and how it affects black Americans in the Persuasion podcast.
  • “Jo Phoenix, academic likened to racist for her trans views, resigns from Open University” – “An academic who faced abuse from colleagues over her transgender views has quit the Open University,” reports the Times.
  • “Woke activists, take note: there is no public appetite for erasing British history” – The people of Sheffield can see that changing street names is both a senseless and a pointless endeavour, writes David Abulafia in the Telegraph.
  • “The tyranny of ‘behavioural science’” – Laura Dodsworth speaks to GB News about the Government’s use of ‘nudge’ tactics to enforce lockdown restrictions: “Behavioural scientists are quite emboldened by their success in the epidemic of using behavioural science techniques such as fear and shaming.”

'Behavioural scientists are quite emboldened by their success in the epidemic of using behavioural science techniques such as fear and shaming…in order to encourage people to comply with lockdown rules.'
