  • “The true cause of the public’s anger” – How much of the fury is occasioned by the fact that Boris went to a drinks party in his garden and how much is down to the retrospective suspicion that the public were taken for mugs in 2020 – and that we were mad to have gone along with it all, asks Rod Liddle in the Spectator.

  • “We’ve had our Peter Pandemic adventure. Now let’s grow up” – We sacrificed children’s education and wellbeing and now we complain that Boris had a party; we wanted to be children for a while and now we find out that our leaders are human after all, writes Gail MacDonald on TCW Defending Freedom.
  • “Sadiq Khan’s mask mandate is stalling London’s recovery” – The capital has a magnetic pull, but to flourish it needs better leadership and less political posturing over Covid, writes Matthew Lesh in the Telegraph.
  • “Post-Acute Covid and Long Covid” – The Swiss Doctor with an overview of the condition.
  • “Why are pandemic babies developmentally stunted?” – The first major study of babies born during the COVID-19 pandemic has found that they are behind in their normal development, and it’s not Covid, writes Peter Andrews in RT.
  • “Not just any illness” – Antonia Rolls describes her brush with the plague over New Year.
  • “Now that science has defanged Covid, it’s time to get on with our lives” – Zero Covid fanatic Devi Sridhar in the Guardian transforms herself into a lockdown sceptic (of sorts), arguing that “as with any other ineradicable disease, prevention and treatment can be integrated into society”.
  • “COVID-19 vaccines and treatments: we must have raw data, now” – Pharmaceutical companies are reaping vast profits without adequate independent scrutiny of their scientific claims, writes Peter Doshi in the BMJ.
  • “The Truth About Vaccine-induced Myocarditis” – Rav Arora sets out the evidence in an Epoch Times essay that comes with the imprimatur of Stanford infectious disease expert Dr. Jay Bhattacharya.
  • “Problems with the ONS Denominator” – HART explains what’s wrong with the ONS population estimate, and why using it vastly overestimates vaccine effectiveness.
  • “Omicron: Is racism why South African evidence of milder infection was ignored?” – South African scientists tell the BBC their research should have been taken more seriously.
  • “Testimonial: A mother’s account” – Story from HART: “My last 12 months has been spent arguing with various doctors that my perfectly healthy 22 year old adult son Charlie, who does not have mental capacity, does not need a vaccination.”

  • “Unruly numbers” – Update from Thorsteinn Siglaugsson on Iceland, where the unfavourable Government vaccine figures have suddenly changed this week…
  • “Unboostered Brits Infected and Dying at Higher Rates than Unvaccinated” – Eugyppius draws on the data from last week’s UKHSA vaccine report to estimate the missing data from this week’s report, and comes to a disturbing conclusion: that the two-dose-only group have much higher Covid death rates than the unvaccinated.
  • “New data on vaccine efficacy from Scotland and more evidence on Bayesian datacrime” – El Gato Malo finds bad news in the Scottish figures for two-dose efficacy –they have a higher death rate than the unvaccinated.
  • “What really happened to Politics For All” – Nick Moar in the Spectator on the brutal hand of Big Tech censorship – and was it at Downing Street’s behest?
  • “Lords Standards Commissioner accused of ‘sinister’ attempt to silence peers who voiced trans prisoner concerns” – Akbar Khan is said to have “threatened parliamentary freedom of speech” after dismissing complaints on a “technicality”, reports the Telegraph.
  • “Jordan Peterson: Why I am no longer a tenured professor at the University of Toronto” – The famed psychologist, who has left his university position over its capture by wokery, issues a stark warning to those who keep their heads down: “All of you going along with the [Diversity, Inclusion, Equity] activists, whatever your reasons: this is on you. Professors. Cowering cravenly in pretence and silence. Teaching your students to dissimulate and lie. To get along. As the walls crumble. For shame.”
