News Round-Up

by Will Jones
10 September 2022 1:18 AM

  • “The Real Story of the Birth of ‘Social Distancing’ – the Western Term for Lockdown (封锁)” – Michael Senger discovers CDC social distancing guidelines from 2004 and concludes that the story that ‘social distancing’ arose from a school science project “appears to be an elaborate cover story for the fact the concept was lifted directly from China’s lockdown measures during SARS in 2003”.
  • “Fauci: ‘We Don’t Have Time’ to Run Clinical Trials for Updated Boosters” – The Epoch Times reports that Dr. Anthony Fauci is claiming that there was not enough time to wait for clinical trial data before clearing updated COVID-19 booster shots.
  • “New Zealanders waking up to Jacinda Ardern’s ‘gross ineptitude’” – Watch: Sky News host Rita Panahi says New Zealanders are finally waking up to the “gross ineptitude” of their “lockdown happy Prime Minister”.
  • “One case of monkeypox heart trouble trumps vaccine victims by the thousand” – Dr. Roger Watson in TCW Defending Freedom is not impressed by an officialdom that makes much of one cases of myocarditis linked with monkeypox but plays down the thousands linked with vaccines.
  • “Sustained, as-yet unheard of excess mortality trend strikes Switzerland” – Eugyppius suggests that neither heat waves nor Covid mortality are sufficient to explain the excess deaths, which are concentrated in the over-65 age bracket.
  • “Good News: European Kids Mortality Has Remained Normal in 2022” – The Swiss Doctor reports that excess mortality among youngsters was a EuroMomo baseline mistake – though there really was a worrying excess among young males in particular in late 2021.
  • “A Much Larger Greenhouse Effect – But Temperatures Dominated by Cooling” – Wim Röst in WUWT demonstrates that the Earth’s greenhouse effect is highly effective and would heat the surface to 200°C, were it not for an incredibly efficient and self-stabilising water-based cooling effect that, regardless of CO2 concentration, holds the temperature at a life-conducive 15°C.
  • “British Climate Divergence: Jacob Rees-Mogg Appointed Energy Minister, as Charles is Crowned King” – Eric Worrall in WUWT observes that climate champion Prince Charles is now King, yet his new energy minister Jacob Rees-Mogg has said he wants “every last drop” of oil and gas extracted from the North Sea.
  • “YouTube CEO hypocrisy: Susan Wojcicki says she wants ‘as much free speech as we possibly can’” – Tom Parker on Reclaim the Net on the hypocrisy of the head of a platform that censors millions of videos each year. “If we have a lot of content that is seen as undesirable or not supporting society or not being responsible, we’ll also see pullback from our advertising community,” she explains.
  • “The virtual Little Red Book: how Maoism permeated Western culture” – Dr. Niall McCrae in the New Conservative looks at the role of Maoism in the rise of censorious wokery.
  • “U.K.’s Truss Says She Will ‘Tweak’ Online Safety Bill” – Newly appointed Prime Minister Liz Truss has confirmed that planned legislation to regulate online spaces will return, even as she signalled that it could be watered down in response to concerns about regulatory overreach and restrictions on free speech, the Epoch Times reports.
  • “Trevor Sinclair facing calls to be sacked after controversial Queen tweet” – Sinclair’s claim that black and Asian people should not mourn came as the rest of the sport united in paying tribute to the Queen, and he has now been suspended by Talksport as it investigates, according to the Telegraph. Though of course, cancel culture is still wrong, even when race-baiting wokesters are in the crosshairs.
  • “Columbia University ranked as worst for free speech” – The scorecard, reported in the Mail, comes amid a long simmering debate about free speech and deplatforming on U.S. campuses, and whether ‘snowflake’ students deserve protection from opinions they find hurtful.
  • “Why was Kemi Badenoch overlooked for Education Secretary?” – Neil Davenport in Spiked rues Kemi being passed over once again, and says the Tories are terrified of challenging the woke establishment, which has advanced substantially on their watch.
  • “Why Chileans rejected a new ‘progressive’ constitution” – The Left-wing Government’s proposal would have made a mockery of democracy by enshrining policy in a constitutional document, says James Heartfield in Spiked.
  • “A sad day” – Watch: Dr. John Campbell continues to press the issue of unexplained excess deaths and demands the authorities release more data.
