News Round-Up

by Will Jones
19 June 2022 1:14 AM

  • “Is monkeypox racist?” – The WHO has decided to change the name of the disease because it’s “discriminatory and stigmatising”. But how, asks Michael Deacon in the Telegraph.
  • “Brutal lockdown proves final straw for the middle classes fleeing Shanghai” – Wealthy locals and foreigners are leaving the city not for economic benefit, but rather out of concern for their lives, reports the Telegraph.
  • “Covid vaccine research in Israel: no troubling questions please” – Professor Eyal Shahar takes a closer look at Israeli death data and suspects the full story isn’t being told.
  • “The total lack of any safety data provides no reassurance whatsoever about use of mRNA vaccines during pregnancy” – Steve Kirsch wonders why we haven’t heard about how the pregnancies turned out in “Preliminary Findings of mRNA COVID-19 Vaccine Safety in Pregnant Persons”, published over a year ago.
  • “Mattias Desmet and the Psychology of Totalitarianism“– Watch Mattias Desmet, a mass formation psychology expert, explain on the Highwire the building blocks of mass formation, the threat it poses, and how to break it.
  • “Fact Check: Covid as a Leading Cause of Death in Children” – COVID-19 in Georgia points out that a key study cited by the FDA in its justification for infant Covid vaccines was a flawed pre-print which overcounted Covid deaths in two ways and presented the findings misleadingly.
  • “Take the pain, says Gove, who caused it” – Now that Gove, lockdown fanatic-in-chief, has had his wicked way with Government policy we have runaway inflation, writes Laura Perrins in TCW Defending Freedom.
  • “At the Military Olympics, October 2019, Wuhan, China, Athletes Caught Covid” – That so many U.S. military personnel became sick at a locked-down Wuhan event in October 2019 raises questions about the timeline, the source of the virus, who knew what and when, and how a possible attempt to suppress the truth might have contributed to the spreading of a brutal policy the world over, writes Jeffrey Tucker at Brownstone.
  • “How effective are Covid vaccines, really?” – A balanced and thorough look at the international data from the Swiss Doctor.
  • “Boston Study Finds SARS-CoV-2 Spike Persists with Long Covid” – TrialSite News reports on a study which found circulating SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in the majority of Long Covid patients but none in the COVID-19 cohort, supporting the hypothesis that “a reservoir of active virus persists in the body”.
  • “Serious Adverse Events of Special Interest Following mRNA Vaccination in Randomised Trials” – A study revisits the original trial data and concludes that the risks of the vaccines outweighs the benefits: “The excess risk of serious adverse events of special interest surpassed the risk reduction for COVID-19 hospitalisation relative to the placebo group in both Pfizer and Moderna trials”.
  • “A war that neither side dare lose” – The stakes are existential for both Ukraine and Russia, says Frank Furedi in Spiked.
  • “Norway threatens to abandon £4.5bn North Sea oilfield over windfall tax” – Rishi Sunak’s profit raid on oil giants pushes Equinor to reconsider drilling plans near the Shetland Islands, reports the Telegraph.
  • “The Dark Age of YouTube. Youtuber Act Man Has Channel Nuked for Embarrassing YouTube and Defending Creators.” – YouTube would rather destroy its creators than keep the platform safe, says Peter Pischke on the Happy Warrior.
  • “Left wing America is destroying itself” – Democrat-run cities are rotting, but the people responsible for this calamity are taking over the party, says Douglas Murray in the Telegraph.
  • “Blackpool Illuminations to remove ‘racist’ display” – Native Americans wrote to the council condemning the decades-old tableau for reinforcing “racial stereotypes”, according to the Telegraph.
  • “Ofsted cites lack of gender identity lessons as factor in primary school grading” – Analysis of pre-Covid inspections by the Telegraph shows that teaching about gender issues played a part in determining schools’ final grades.
  • “NHS management review hijacked by ‘wholesale wokery’” – The Telegraph reports that the report into making the health service efficient has been attacked by Lord Lilley, the trade secretary under Margaret Thatcher and Sir John Major, for focusing more on ‘equality, diversity and inclusion’ and less on patients’ needs.
  • “University dons slap trigger warning on 15th century St George text” – University dons have slapped a trigger warning on the story of England’s patron saint as the legend could supposedly prove upsetting and offensive to today’s university students, reports the Mail.
