News Round-Up

by Will Jones
22 March 2022 12:39 AM

  • “Sajid Javid says over-50s will ‘probably’ need another Covid booster” – The Health Secretary said it was “possible” that there would be an autumn booster “probably for those that are 50 and over”. But he added a “final” decision was yet to be taken by Britain’s vaccine chiefs, the Mail reports.
  • “Remote learning considered due to Covid absences – councils” – A rise in Covid absences in schools has prompted Scottish councils to consider temporary measures, reports BBC News.
  • “Would we lock down for COVID-22?” – Already the historical narrative is turning against coronavirus measures, argues Ed West on his Substack page.
  • “Germany lifts Covid restrictions – and people aren’t happy” – Germans are anxious about their sudden freedom, writes Katja Hoyer in UnHerd.
  • “The Kids Aren’t Alright” – Treating children the way Government officials did during the pandemic was morally wrong, write Ryan Sullivan and David R. Henderson in AIER.
  • “Moderna Reverses Stance. Seeks Emergency Authorisation for Fourth Shot” – In a seemingly quick reversal after contradicting Pfizer’s request for a fourth shot, Moderna has suddenly asked the FDA to approve an emergency request for an additional booster shot of their vaccine, according to TrialSite News.
  • “Is the WSJ Taking on the COVID-19 Vaccine Powers-that-Be? Allysia Finley Defends Florida’s Surgeon General on Resisting Healthy Child Vaccination” – The Wall Street Journal’s Allysia Finley, member of the prominent business paper’s editorial board, has gone out on the proverbial limb and aligned with Florida’s Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo, who announced on March 7th that in the Sunshine State children wouldn’t need COVID-19 vaccines, says TrialSite News.
  • “Record Surge of COVID-19 Cases and Deaths in Heavily Vaxxed South Korea – What’s Going on?” – Not only one of the most vaccinated peoples in the world, but the population of South Korea is also one of the most boosted. Yet SARS-CoV-2 rages at record levels leading to record deaths, reports TrialSite News.
  • “Are the Court of Protection Vaccine Rulings for Autistic and Mentally Handicapped Adults Unlawful?” – HART provides a detailed look at the legalities from guest author Philip Ridley.
  • “A Decent Democracy” – Dr. Hugh Willbourn suggests that bringing back the selection of political council members by lot would be a positive way to improve our democracy after the ravages of the pandemic.
  • “More evidence on Covid vaccine deaths” – Guy Hatchard in TCW Defending Freedom on some disturbing data from Germany and New Zealand.
  • “mRNA flu shots move into trials” – COVID-19 provided an opportunity to show that mRNA vaccines can work. Now, drug companies – led by Pfizer, Moderna and Sanofi – are racing to apply the technology platform for influenza, reports Nature.
  • “Real Scientific Inquiry Requires Dissent. But That’s Not What the CDC and JAMA Want” – The scientific method requires the free and open dissent from any scientific hypothesis by either empiric evidence contrary to the hypothesis or the logical extension of the hypothesis to an absurd conclusion; it is only by successful defence against dissenting opinions that scientific hypotheses become accepted as truth, argues Dr. Gilbert Berdine in Mises Wire.
  • “Spina absentia” – ‘Modern’ Libs could learn a thing or two from Ron DeSantis, writes James Allen in Spectator Australia. He had core commitments to freedom and individual autonomy and against despotic lockdowns and rule by a coterie of public health modellers, and was smart enough to take on the reporters at the regular press conferences. His popularity rocketed.
  • “Secretary-General’s remarks to Economist Sustainability Summit” – António Guterres tells the worthy gathering that countries “could become so consumed by the immediate fossil fuel supply gap that they neglect or knee-cap policies to cut fossil fuel use. This is madness. Addiction to fossil fuels is mutually assured destruction”.
  • “Boris Johnson prepares planning overhaul to speed up nuclear power plants” – The Prime Minister is considering reforms that would make it easier to build new reactors after meetings with industry, the Telegraph reports.
  • “Cost of charging electric cars on the street hits new high” – Calls mount to close a VAT loophole that leaves drivers without home charging points paying more in tax, reports the Telegraph.
  • “Virginia Tech swimmer bumped out of finals by Lia Thomas blasts NCAA” – Reka Gyorgy claims her spot in the NCAA finals was stolen due to Lia Thomas being permitted to compete in the division. She has called on the sport authority to revise its transgender rules, the Mail reports.
  • “Why can’t we tell the truth about Lia Thomas?” – Every linguistic concession we make to the trans movement, the harder it gets to defend women’s rights, argues Joanna Williams in Spiked.
  • “Brisbane private school students are identifying as cats” – Mail report that a handful of students believe they are animals and have asked to be called “furries” by their peers at Brisbane Girls Grammar School.
  • “Who is really winning the war in Ukraine?” – Getting an accurate picture of who is winning the war in Ukraine has become increasingly difficult in the information age. Military analyst Bill Roggio gives his view to Freddie Sayers in UnHerd.
  • “Minority ethnic people who don’t hold the correct progressive opinions about racism are penalised and are punished in a way that white people aren’t” – Toby on GB News discusses whether ‘woke’ universities are out of control.

'Minority ethnic people who don't hold the correct progressive opinions about racism are penalised and are punished in a way that white people aren't.'

Toby Young discusses whether 'woke' universities are out of control.
