News Round-Up

by Will Jones
5 August 2022 12:26 AM

  • “Monkeypox: US declares outbreak a public health emergency” – The U.S. Government has declared the monkeypox outbreak a public health emergency following a spike in cases, a decision which will speed up the distribution of vaccines, treatments and federal resources aiming to curb the spread of the virus, reports BBC News.
  • “How Did Deborah Birx Get the Job?” – Debbie Lerman writes for Brownstone that the White House Covid Coordinator’s claims in her self-incriminating book are inconsistent and thus leave unanswered the question of how such a fanatical lockdown proponent got the key job.
  • “Pledges against lockdowns are good – but can we take them to the bank?” – Brian Monteith at Time for Recovery says Sunak and Truss are expressing the right sentiments, but their willingness to resist future restrictions in the face of overwhelming pressure remains questionable.
  • “Covid formalities to enter France end today” – As of August 1st, France has removed all Covid border restrictions including vaccination and testing requirements, though warns they could return in the future.
  • “Reinfection risk for Covid” – Bartram’s Folly asks if the reinfection rules are resulting in an apparent reduction in Covid infections.
  • “Children are still paying the price for lockdowns” – The harms to young people’s health can no longer be ignored, writes Sarah Linney in Spiked.
  • “The New Pause lengthens to 7 years 11 months” – The New Pause, notwithstanding the much-publicised heatwaves in Britain and some other countries, has lengthened by another month to seven years 11 months, writes Christopher Monckton in WUWT.
  • “Shipping’s New ESG Rules Could Starve Millions” – Paul Homewood cites a security analyst who argues decarbonisation targets will cause ships to slow down delaying food shipments and people will starve.
  • “The Big Green Lie Almost Everyone Claims to Believe” – Patricia Adams and Lawrence Solomon in the Epoch Times argue that carbon dioxide is not a pollutant.
  • “Rationing is back – and Britain’s authoritarian greens are delighted” – Lord Frost in the Telegraph says too many seem to think it is preferable to limit water and energy usage rather than to ensure a reliable supply.
  • “Spectacular wind turbine fire sends clouds of black smoke across city” – A video shows the blaze tearing through the gearbox and parts of the blades, according to the Telegraph.
  • “Ron DeSantis calls for doctors to be sued for giving children as young as 10 gender-affirming surgeries: Florida Governor says medics are castrating young boys and giving girls mastectomies” – The Mail reports that it’s the latest shot in the “popular Republican Governor’s months-long culture war with the LGBTQ community, which managed to garner national headlines and skyrocket his profile”.
  • “Ron DeSantis suspends state prosecutor for being ‘woke’” – The Florida Governor was accused of a “shocking political attack” after he suspended Andrew Warren, Hillsborough County’s elected State Attorney, for being too “woke” after accusing the Democrat of pledging not to enforce the state’s new 15-week abortion ban and supporting gender transition treatments for minors.
  • “How the Tavistock came tumbling down” – Heather Brunskell-Evans in Spiked is full of praise for the “parents, whistleblowers and detransitioners who led the charge against this dangerous clinic”.
  • “Academics make claims of bullying and racism at another UCL school” – The woke social contagion spreads as UCL pledges to investigate allegations which include older staff being pressured to retire early from a construction school, according to a report in the Guardian.
  • “Suella Braverman declares war on ‘woke witch trials’” – The Attorney General says she has scrapped “downright dangerous” diversity training schemes in her department, the Telegraph reports.
  • “When did we give up on the truth?” – Rod Liddle in the Spectator on the problem of institutions such as the NHS becoming “deranged in their attempts to abide by a series of falsehoods which, I suspect, they know well to be a series of falsehoods, but cleave to nonetheless”.
  • “Home Office’s bizarre diversity drive” – The Spectator reports on the latest woke quackery being pushed by Priti Patel’s mandarins: new targets to increase ‘representation’ of ‘BAME’ and ‘LGB’ people as part of its “diversity and inclusion strategy 2021-2025”, including 24% BAME (versus 14% of the population) and 6% LGB (versus 3% of the population). They seem oddly unconcerned at the under-representation of straight white people…
  • “Deaths in people aged 10-19 about 8% above average, 30-39 year olds 11% above average, 55-59 year olds 13% above average. The biggest group is 75-79, they are 15% above average” – Watch statistician Jamie Jenkins discuss with Mark Steyn on GB News what lies behind the worrying data.

🚨 | ‘Deaths in people aged 10-19 about 8% above average, 30-39 year olds 11% above average, 55-59 year olds 13% above average. The biggest group is 75-79, they are 15% above average’
