  • “Why women piled on more lockdown pounds than men: Mothers were more likely to bear the brunt of childcare during Covid shut-ins… but men generally ‘carried on as they were’, study shows” – Researchers analysed data on 938,000 British adults and found Covid curbs had a “differential impact” on the sexes, reports the Mail.
  • “‘Wonderful’ mother-of-two, 36, died from first dose of Pfizer vaccine” – Dawn Wooldridge, 36, of Twyford, Berkshire, died unexpectedly on June 15th last year; her family was shocked as a pathologist revealed his belief she died of rare complications from the Pfizer jab, the Mail reports.
  • “Britain’s Troubled National Health Service” – Public satisfaction with the National Health Service has fallen to its lowest level in more than 20 years, writes Noel Yaxley in City Journal.
  • “Gates and Sridhar have both released books – I will not be reading them!” – Roger Watson writes for Unity News Network that Bill’s book is How to prevent the next pandemic and Devi’s book is Preventable: “If only the books themselves could have been prevented.”
  • “OCLA Statement on CMAJ Fisman et al. Article Claiming Disproportionate Infection Risk from Unvaccinated Population, and on Negligent Media Reporting” – The Ontario Civil Liberties Association takes apart the latest modelling study that claims to find the unvaccinated are a public health risk.
  • “FDA Limits Authorised Use of J&J’s COVID-19 Vaccine” – The Wall Street Journal reports that the agency said it is making the change after confirming nine deaths tied to a clotting condition among those who received the Johnson & Johnson shot.
  • “The lockdown on dissent” – Jay Bhattacharya talks to Spiked‘s Brendan O’Neill about how the scientific establishment suppressed the Covid debate.
  • “How Covid Lockdowns Came to Italy” – Italy’s adoption of China’s containment policy was one of the most important events instigating lockdowns across the free world, and, according to Michael P. Senger, “one of the most darkly clever aspects of the lockdown operation”.
  • “Britain’s care home residents have been suffering greatly due to Covid mandates, understaffing” – Although the Covid vaccine mandate has been scrapped, care homes are still understaffed, with many new recruits lacking essential training, writes Natalie White in LifeSite News.
  • “‘Not Good for Learning’” – New research is showing the high costs of long school closures in some communities, reports the New York Times.
  • “Climate change crisis will ‘dwarf’ cost of living pain, says Mark Carney” – The former Governor of the Bank of England and now UN Special Envoy on Climate Action and Finance believes that governments must ‘seize the moment’ of the Ukraine crisis and move away from fossil fuels, according to the Telegraph.
  • “Green Energy Policies have made NATO an Unreliable would be Ally to Finland?” – Mikko Paunio’s take on Finland’s NATO question.
  • “Workplace lawsuits over ‘banter’ hit record high” – The Telegraph reports that former colleagues are clashing over what they deem to be acceptable office humour.
  • “Stonewall is lecturing firms on transgender issues, tribunal told” – Barrister Allison Bailey accuses LGBT charity of “proselytising” on “gender theory” as part of a concerted effort to change people’s views, the Telegraph reports.
  • “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Transgender Galaxy (Part I)” – Carol Dansereau on why gender identity ideology must be fought.
  • “Biden’s sinister Ministry of Truth” – Dr. Campbell Campbell-Jack for TCW Defending Freedom says it’s true, the United States Government really does have a Disinformation Governance Board, its very own Ministry of Truth.
  • “The fight is on to censor Elon Musk’s Twitter” – If Elon Musk truly intends to make Twitter a free-speech platform, he’s clearly got a fight on his hands, says Tom Slater in the Spectator.
