by Nick Dixon
8 January 2023 12:36 AM

  • “Students failing university exams after pandemic inflated their A-level entry grades” – Another one of those unexpected outcomes, from the Telegraph.
  • “Why the year of the Rabbit will decide China’s Covid gamble” – China tacitly admits deaths higher than reported but still predicts a soft landing. Others are not so sure, according to the Telegraph.
  • “After three years of Zero-Covid, nothing feels real in newly ‘free’ Shanghai” – Officials locked down people in lavatories and swabbed fish. Now restrictions are no more but millions remain traumatised, writes Cameron Wilson in the Times.
  • “Critics claim Covid jabs are causing heart problems – do they have any proof?” – A largely on-narrative piece from Sarah Knapton in the Telegraph, though which does explain how Covid vaccines can kill people (but claims it only happens “rarely”).
  • “Former dragon Rachel Elnaugh has set up a safe haven for anti-vaxxers” – Former Dragons’ Den star Rachel Elnaugh has raised nearly £1 million with a group called Phoenix Rose to buy 70 acres of Derbyshire forest as a ‘safe haven’ for so-called ‘anti-vaxxers’. The Mail is calling these people “dangerous”, when in reality they just sound slightly new agey.
  • “Switzerland slated to destroy millions of mRNA vaccine doses in 2023” – Vaccine enthusiasm may still be the mainstream position, but revealed preferences show that enormous majorities everywhere are done with mass vaccination, writes Eugyppius.
  • ”Consequences for Children: the data so far” – Lockdowns and other pandemic restrictions have really taken a toll on teenagers, causing disruptions to education and socialisation that have led to increased anxiety and worsening mental health, writes Justin Hart for Brownstone.
  • “The TTE Data Snapshot” – Do our current NHS woes justify further restrictions? The data do not support the current narrative, write Carl Heneghan and Tom Jefferson.
  • “Why Is The Vaccine Killing Our Young Men And Women?” – A new study provides valuable clues about the toxicity of the spike protein, writes the ‘Midwestern Doctor’.
  • “Electric car revolution at crisis point due to charging point shortage” – The world finally wakes up to what every taxi driver already knows about electric cars, according to This is Money.
  • “Conservation needs shooting – it’s time environmental activists understood this truth” – Saving species often involves spilling blood, writes Patrick Galbraith in the Telegraph.
  • “Children forced into face masks after fears teachers might not show up” – Government documents reveal how seriously the Department for Education took threats from unions during pandemic, the Telegraph reports.
  • “Green Energy Revolution? Oil Use Growing at a Million Barrels per Day Per Year?” – Other than the Covid lockdown dip, there is no evidence of a drop in demand for oil, writes Eric Worrall in WUWT.
  • “Greta Thunberg statue costing staggering £24,000 at university sparks outrage as even woke students left furious” – Winchester University’s Greta statue appears to have irritated virtually everyone, according to GB News.
  • “National Maritime Museum declares its failure to ‘reflect the legacies of slavery’ and ‘black voices’… sparking accusation curators are ‘erasing our glorious history with woke nonsense’” – The National Maritime Museum has been slammed after discrediting one of its own galleries because the “legacies” of slavery are “absent” from it, reports the Mail.
  • “How teachers are re-educating boys brainwashed by Andrew Tate” – Teachers are having to re-brainwash boys who have been brainwashed by Andrew Tate, according to the Times.
  • “Free speech risks being compromised by equality laws, Cambridge don warns” – Prof Arif Ahmed, the frontrunner to become the Government’›s new free speech champion, says such legislation could end up undermining debate, reports the Telegraph.
  • “Jack Monroe: The acceptable face of poverty” – Frugality has been turned into a middle-class virtue, writes Kathleen Stock for UnHerd.
  • “Radio 4 is becoming a parody of itself” – The former ‘brain’ of the BBC is now self-satisfied, tiresome and snobbish, says Julie Burchill in Spiked.
  • “U.K. police forces spend £66,000 on LGBT rainbow cars, shoelaces and flags” – Police chiefs are accused of “wasting money on woke nonsense” by the Taxpayers’ Alliance, according to the Telegraph.
  • “Should young people emigrate?” – Adam Limb weighs into the Peter Hitchens vs Carl Benjamin debate in the Critic.
  • “The pandemic didn’t cause the collateral damages. The response to the pandemic caused the collateral damages” – Bill Maher is absolutely right, tweets James Melville.

The pandemic didn’t cause the collateral damages. The response to the pandemic caused the collateral damages. Bill Maher is absolutely right.
