News Round-Up

by Will Jones
29 March 2022 12:37 AM

  • “Ready for jab No. 4 or are you suffering from ‘vaccine fatigue’?” – Amid fears over new variants and rising infection rates, a second booster dose is being rolled out – but reluctance may hinder progress, writes David Cox in the Telegraph.
  • “Covid vaccines for children aged five to 11 will begin next week” – In February, Government advisers backed jabs being available to all children in the age group but said it was a “non-urgent offer”, the Telegraph reports.
  • “The tragic folly of lockdown” – A new study on excess deaths shows that countries that locked down hard fared no better than those that didn’t, write Martin Kulldorff and Jay Bhattacharya in Spiked.
  • “The public sector is living in a fantasy land” – Flexible working enthusiasts are about to collide with the grim reality of stagflation, says Luke Johnson in the Telegraph.
  • “No time for vaccine claims, but plenty to complain to TCW” – Sally Beck in TCW Defending Freedom is critical of the NHS Business Services Authority, which says it has no time to promptly review cases of vaccine injury but has found time to ask for petty corrections to a TCW story.
  • “Aspirin Associates with Lower In-Hospital Mortality in Large Cohort of Patients with Moderate COVID-19” – TrialSite News report that a large cohort study reveals that early aspirin use is associated with lower chances of 28-day in-hospital mortality.
  • “We need to talk about behavioural science…” – But those in positions of influence don’t want to, says HART.
  • “Have British fliers ditched their masks? I boarded a BA flight to find out” – Emma Featherstone in the Telegraph says that despite BA removing the requirement to wear a face mask on some services, around 70% still chose to wear one on her flight.
  • “BA say people must put masks on if going to 50 destinations” – BA customers will only need to wear a face covering on board flights if their destination requires it, the airline said earlier but it has since written this includes where it is unsure masks are required, according to the Mail.
  • “Shanghai sends patients to quarantine centres as hospitals buckle under Covid surge” – Telegraph report that the Chinese city was sent into a strict lockdown at the weekend with a two-stage plan to test everyone over nine days, though with the city officially reporting just 50 symptomatic cases the reason for the hospital pressures is unclear.
  • “The European Spring Wave in Focus” – The Swiss Doctor takes a closer look at the European Covid spring wave and draws some conclusions about vaccine effectiveness and viral variants.
  • “When is mRNA not really mRNA?” – mRNA vaccine pioneer Dr. Robert Malone writes that “the extensive random incorporation of pseudouridine into the synthetic mRNA-like molecules used for the Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna SARS-CoV-2 vaccines may well account for much or all of the observed immunosuppression, DNA virus reactivation, and remarkable persistence of the synthetic ‘mRNA’ molecules observed in lymph node biopsy tissues”.
  • “Electric cars have a very dirty secret” – Volvo has confirmed that electric cars involve far more embodied carbon dioxide and must be driven 50,000-100,000 miles (on one battery) before they move into credit versus a petrol-powered car, writes Andrew Orlowski in the Telegraph.
  • “Green ‘virtue-signalling’ on the rise as one in 10 young people are now vegan” – An Aviva survey finds people under 25 are more likely to exaggerate their eco-friendly activities online and in person, according to the Telegraph.
  • “Madness of our worship of wind: They despoil our glorious countryside, add £6 billion a year to our household bills and are arguably the most inefficient solution to our energy crisis. So why is the Government planning to make it even easier to build them?” – The Government is considering cutting communities and councils out of the planning process for wind farms, further privileging an industry that has cost a fortune, wrecked green and pleasant landscapes and made us dependent on the weather for our energy needs – and thus more wedded to natural gas as a back-up, writes Matt Ridley in the Mail.
  • “Covid Pandemic and Climate Change Facts: Fact Checking the Fact Checkers” – Forbes article by Tilak Doshi republished on Watts Up With That? criticising the presumptuous practice of journalists and tech companies to ‘fact check’ distinguished scientists on the pandemic and the climate.
  • “$564.9 billion dollars. This is exactly the amount of one-time losses that Ukraine suffered from the Russian invasion” – Ukraine’s Minister of Economic Development Yulia Svyrydenko estimates the cost of the war for Ukraine at over half a trillion U.S. dollars, including $119 billion worth of infrastructure losses.
  • “Piers Morgan vows to ‘cancel the cancel culture’ on new TV show” – The Telegraph reports that Rupert Murdoch’s anti-woke TalkTV is to start broadcasting on April 25th.
  • “BBC News changes ‘assigned female at birth’ to ‘women’ after backlash” – Complaints flooded in over the wording used in a story about the gynaecological condition endometriosis, reports the Telegraph.
  • “‘The double standard is laughable’: Regina Hall is lambasted for cringe-inducing Covid skit where she patted down Hollywood’s hottest single guys” – The Mail reports that actress Regina Hall is facing criticisms for her Covid-themed Oscars skit that was riddled with sexual innuendos and double standards, with Piers Morgan claiming the hypocrisy was “laughable”. You didn’t think MeToo applied both ways, did you? First rule of wokery: it only ever goes one way.

Interesting to see a female celebrity make lewd sexual jokes about male stars and physically grope them on stage. Of course, if a man did that, he’d be immediately cancelled. The double standard is laughable. https://t.co/dsnv0FXj12
