News Round-Up

  • “Boris Johnson was secretly ‘nudged’ into wearing a Covid mask by Government scientists” – Professor David Halpern of SAGE claims he turned his subliminal powers of persuasion on the Prime Minister himself after it became apparent he was not leading by example, according to the Telegraph.
  • “What is known about the XBB.1.5 Covid variant and what’s behind the nickname ‘kraken’?” – Sky News fills us in on the origins of this absurd new nickname.
  • “Doctor gave fake exemption notes to thousands of people who didn’t want to wear masks” – A German practitioner was jailed after handing out medical exceptions to more than 4,000 people she had not examined during the pandemic, according to the Telegraph.
  • “Tracked, detained, vilified: How China throttled anti-Covid protests” – After widespread demonstrations, China relaxed its strict Covid controls. But on the protesters themselves, the Government unleashed a police state brimming with new surveillance technology, the Washington Post reports.
  • “Covid and the Church of England’s retreat” – Parishioners were ill-served by the Church’s pandemic response, writes Ben Phillips in the Critic.
  • “EU recommends pre-flight testing of passengers from China, wastewater testing in airports” – European Union Government officials recommended on Wednesday that passengers flying from China to the EU should have a negative COVID-19 test before they board, as Beijing plans to ease travel restrictions despite a wave of new Covid infections, reports Reuters.
  • “How to hide adverse events” – The FDA has finally conceded that the mRNA vaccinations increase the risk of pulmonary embolism, but it used a very odd methodology. Using the same methodology, other risks were dismissed in an unjustified way, writes the Health Advisory & Recovery Team.
  • “Wikipedia” – Tom Jefferson and Carl Heneghan find that some of Wikipedia’s entries border on defamation.
  • “Breathing Trouble” – New research shows the risks from prolonged use of face masks, according to Ugo Bardi and Harald Walach in Tablet.
  • “State Power and Covid Crimes: Part 4” – With help from the media, social media and police, people were frightened, shamed and coerced into submission and compliance, writes Ramesh Thakur for Brownstone Institute.
  • “Did National Security Imperatives Compromise COVID-19 Vaccine Safety?” – Why are governments around the world planning to make further significant investments in this rushed vaccine technology driven by the U.S. military, asks Phillip Altman for Brownstone Institute.
  • “Serially Wrong Paul Ehrlich Is Wrong, Again. We Are Not on The Brink of a Sixth Mass Extinction Event” – “As Ehrlich and friends continue to argue that the world is going to end unless we curb population growth, disavow fossil fuels, and reduce consumption of material goods, they could not be more misguided,” writes Chris Talgo in WUWT.
  • ”Climate change puts more women at risk for domestic violence”– A typically woke claim from the Washington Post.
  • “Rotherham and moral rot of identity politics” – A councillor who allegedly stifled discussion about grooming gangs has landed a plum NHS diversity role, writes Rakib Ehsan in Spiked.
  • “Ireland’s dangerous experiment in self-ID” – Women’s spaces and child safeguarding have been obliterated in the name of trans rights, says James Esses in Spiked.
  • ”You’re not pro-immigration“ – By what principle do immigration advocates justify admitting some of the people who want to migrate, while excluding the vast majority, asks Noah Carl in his latest Substack article.
  • “Does Jordan Peterson need to be re-educated?” – Winston Marshall in the Spectator with more on Jordan Peterson’s struggle session at the hands of the College of Psychologists of Ontario.
  • “Meet Jeff. For what it’s worth, Jeff looks like a nice guy. I’m even willing to bet that Jeff wakes up everyday and tries his best to do his job, despite his shortcomings and lack of credentials to do so.” – Texas Lindsay fact checks the fact checkers in a viral Twitter thread.
