News Round-Up

by Will Jones
16 July 2022 2:51 AM

  • “Pandemic delays cause ‘largest drop in childhood immunisation in a generation’” – Children’s charity Unicef warns the consequences of a sharp rise in unvaccinated children “will be measured in lives”, reports the Telegraph.
  • “Covid booster: Will be offered to all over 50s this autumn” – BBC report that more people than originally planned will be offered the jab in the U.K. ahead of the coming winter. The vaccine zealots are still in the driving seat, it seems.
  • “Serious Side Effects Exceed the Risk of Hospitalisation with COVID-19 in the Swedish Population” – Dr. Sven Román and colleagues in Brownstone implore the authorities to conduct a fully transparent and independent expert review in light of their findings that the Covid vaccines cause more serious harm than they prevent in most age groups.
  • “U.K. Government Seeks to Block Disclosures to the Covid Inquiry” – The Government is trying to block disclosures to the inquiry investigating its handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Bloomberg.
  • “Xi Jinping’s economy slumps as Zero-Covid strategy slows down growth” – China‘s economy grew just 0.4% in the second quarter – its weakest performance since the onset of the pandemic, according to the Telegraph.
  • “Covid Omicron variant is ‘troubling’ because ‘people aren’t responding to vaccines’, warns expert” – Dr. Stephen Griffin warned that Britain’s population still isn’t “perfectly protected” as the country faces a riding tide of infections, the Telegraph reports.
  • “Sadiq Khan calls for urgent action to tackle rise in monkeypox cases” – The Telegraph reports that the Mayor said he was “deeply concerned” as monkeypox cases have doubled in less than a week. But since 97% of the cases are in gay men and Sadiq Khan is a big fan of lockdowns and social distancing, I’m sure the obvious ‘solution’ is going to occur to him any moment…
  • “More than 260,000 Troops Not Fully Vaccinated, Many Face Discharge” – More than 260,000 troops are not fully vaccinated despite a Biden vaccine mandate for the military, and many of them could face discharge, reports Breitbart News.
  • “Met Office warns it won’t be safe to go outside and ‘play in the sun’ next week” – With what is said to be a 50% chance that temperatures of more than 40°C will be seen, the first time this has been predicted for the country, the Met Office appears to have decided that children can’t cope with getting warm, according to the Telegraph. Are they also going to start putting health warnings on trips to the Algarve?
  • “The U.K. Government’s official data shows they made a huge mistake” – Steve Kirsch says the Government should either admit its data are garbage or that the vaccines should be immediately halted for ages 10 to 14, or both. Note, though, that under-18s are a tricky group to analyse as the most vulnerable were vaccinated as a priority.
  • “‘The most extraordinarily brutal government New Zealand has had for decades.” – The Looking Glass carries an interview with sociologist Jodie Bruning, in which she describes the “alarming disconnect between the academic literature and the Government’s Covid response, its barrage of untransparent law-making, and the subsequent impact on our rights – and why the COVID-19 primary Acts must be repealed”.
  • “Christian Drosten is Still Mad about the Great Barrington Declaration” – Eugyppius is fascinated by the German star epidemiologist’s fixation with the GBD crew.
  • “How to Lie with Statistics – What is the real percentage of Unvaccinated individuals in England?” – The Naked Emperor joins in with the wholly justified bashing of the ONS for its shoddy population figures that skew its vaccine data.
  • “The French are fed up with Macron’s Covid tyranny” – His plans to bring back vaccine passports have been soundly defeated, writes Charles Devellennes in Spiked.
  • “World Economic Forum: Gas Prices Must Go Even Higher – to Save Democracy” – The World Economic Forum released a position paper arguing democracy can only be saved if consumers ditch their reliance on fossil fuels, reports Breitbart News.
  • “Climate Change and Forest Fires” – D.V. Williamson writes that forest fires in the U.S. peaked in 1930, by a huge margin.
  • “It’s time to kill the Online Safety Bill for good” –The Online Safety Bill has been postponed and should now be killed off for good, says Sam Ashworth-Hayes in the Spectator. It’s “bad for business, bad for free speech, and – by attacking encryption – bad for online safety”.
  • “Ukraine to consider legalising same-sex marriage amid war” – The BBC reports that a petition calling for same-sex marriage has enough signatures to be considered by the President. Because that’s the pressing priority.
  • “Trans debate is not a political issue, insists Penny Mordaunt backer” – The Telegraph reports that the trade minister has come under fire during the leadership campaign for previously insisting “trans men are men, trans women are women”, but MP Maria Miller has proposed a novel way to save her leadership bid: by declaring that transgenderism is not a political issue.
  • “Her career to date has come under little scrutiny. So Tory MPs should read this troubling dossier before putting a cross next to her name again” – Andrew Pierce in Mail+ sets out the charge sheet against previously largely unknown Penny, from the woke wing of the party.
  • “J.K. Rowling backs parents told disabled daughter did not have right to female-only care” – The Harry Potter author warns that a special school’s cross-gender policy on intimate assistance, under which men will be allowed to assist disabled teenage girls with toileting and menstruation, endangers “extremely vulnerable girls”, the Telegraph reports. You think?
  • “Why it pays for big brands to get cosy with the world of woke” – Banks, brands and all sorts of companies are rushing to align themselves with fashionable political causes, but we should ask hard questions about what this incessant and aggressive virtue-signalling is designed to hide, writes Douglas Murray in the Times.
  • “The anti-drinking lobby’s twisted logic” – Christopher Snowdon in the Speccie on the dodgy science behind the claim that alcohol is never ‘good’.
  • “Victims Of The Vax” – Watch the GB News special in which Mark Steyn interviews victims of the COVID-19 jab that many in the mainstream think ‘do not exist’.
