News Round-Up

by Will Jones
2 June 2022 1:56 AM

  • “WHO insists Pride parades pose low monkeypox risk” – Andy Seale, from the agency’s department for HIV, hepatitis and sexually transmitted infections, said in a briefing yesterday there was “no reason to be concerned” about catching the virus at these events as the risk relates to indoor activities, reports the Mail. Of course, this assumes there are no indoor Pride-related activities…
  • “Britain’s monkeypox outbreak is linked to ‘gay bars, saunas and Grindr’, 86% of cases are in London and just two women have caught virus – as total U.K. infections rise to 196” – The U.K. Health Security Agency announced that contact tracing has linked monkeypox cases with “gay bars, saunas and the use of dating apps in the U.K. and abroad”, reports the Mail.
  • “Monkeypox could have been spreading across Europe undetected for two years” – The World Health Organisation says the “explosion” in cases suggests virus was emerging under the radar before health authorities noticed, the Telegraph reports. Really lethal, then.
  • “Who is responsible for inflicting unethical behavioural-science ‘nudges’ on the British people?” – There are four groups of stakeholders who could feasibly be culpable for these egregious actions, says Gary Sidley on Coronababble, and to date, all four seem to be shirking any responsibility.
  • “Do nine people dying a day from Covid in California justify emergency powers?” – The question to ask lawmakers is how low do daily deaths have to go before this is no longer an emergency, says Steve Kirsch.
  • “CDC Director Issues Alert on Pfizer’s COVID-19 Pill: ‘You Might Get Symptoms Again’” – Centres for Disease Control and Prevention Director Rochelle Walensky warned that Pfizer’s COVID-19 pill Paxlovid can lead to a rebound in symptoms, reports the Epoch Times.
  • “Elon Musk tells Tesla staff they can work remotely – after doing 40 hours in the office” – Elon Musk has demanded Tesla staff ditch home working and hit out at his HR department for living in separate states to the factories they run, reports the Telegraph.
  • “Doctors seem more out of reach than ever – this must stop” – Far too many hospitals and practices still haven’t returned to pre-Covid services, which can literally be a matter of life or death for some, says Allison Pearson in the Telegraph.
  • “Seven reasons the Government should not sign a WHO pandemic treaty” – Brian Monteith at Time for Recovery says the Government is taking us down the road to a serious and costly folly, and offers seven reasons why such a course is the wrong one.
  • “JP Morgan boss warns of upcoming economic ‘hurricane’” – Jamie Dimon, the Chief Executive of JP Morgan, has warned of a looming “hurricane” as the economy struggles against fiscally induced growth, quantitative tightening and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, reports the Telegraph.
  • “We’re paying the price for the new cult of idleness” – Everyone wants to go on holiday but nobody wants to work – and the result is total chaos at U.K. airports, says Ross Clark in the Telegraph.
  • “Covid’s ecological cost” – Pandemic-related pollution is clogging the environment, with potentially deadly consequences, says John Pickrell in Australian Geographic.
  • “Vindication for ‘transphobic’ gender-critical campaigner named in Queen’s Birthday Honours list” – Transgender Trend founder Stephanie Davies-Arai, who will receive British Empire Medal, defends JK Rowling for speaking out against trans rights activists, the Telegraph reports.
  • “Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine Could Affect Normal Thyroid Function” – A new study reported in TrialSite News finds that the Pfizer vaccine might affect the thyroid function of healthy study participants.
  • “Europe lurches closer to energy crisis as Kremlin cuts off gas supply to Shell” – The British company becomes the latest to lose access to Russian fuel following a refusal to pay in roubles, the Telegraph reports.
  • “Let’s apply Covid scepticism to climate change” – From fake alarmism to flawed models, these two ‘crises’ have much in common, writes Ramesh Thakur in Spectator Australia.
  • “Steve Baker MP warns of risks of computer modelling ” – Baker’s warning appears in the foreword to a new paper from the Global Warming Policy Foundation on some of the problems with climate models in recent years.
  • “Climate Change to Blame for Monkeypox Outbreak, Says Professor” – It had to happen, didn’t it. Driving animals out of normal habitat, apparently. Read in Watts Up With That?
  • “Hypocritical woke activists are destroying freedom of speech” – Why are such different standards applied to protesters on the Left in this country, asks Ross Clark in the Telegraph.
  • “Not all masculinity is ‘toxic’” – There must be consequences to telling men that their instincts are wrong, that their behaviour is wrong, and that all their intentions are tainted by dint of their chromosomes, writes Douglas Murray in the Spectator.
  • “Suella Braverman is right about trans ideology in schools” – We are plunging younger generations into an identity crisis, says Frank Furedi in Spiked.
  • “The thoughtpolice are a law unto themselves” – Non-crime hate incidents were never approved by Parliament, they were declared unlawful by the courts, they are also opposed by elected ministers and by many police chiefs, and yet their use is only likely to be expanded, writes Fraser Myers in Spiked.
