News Round-Up

by Will Jones
22 February 2023 2:08 AM

  • “Why is there no COVID-19 commission in America?” – Over the past year, Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Denmark have begun or completed public investigations into their countries’ responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the U.S. deserves one too, say Margery Smelkinson and Leslie Bienen in UnHerd.
  • “Dr. Fauci Comes Clean on Vaccines and Respiratory Viruses” – David Bell in Brownstone says Fauci’s recent article criticising the Covid vaccines “underlines the deception of the past two years”.
  • “Natural Protection from SARS-CoV-2” – As it turns out, “natural infection is the way out of the pandemic”, write Carl Heneghan and Tom Jefferson, feeling vindicated by a recent Lancet meta-analysis.
  • “How The Manipulation in Most COVID-19 Studies Works” – The Law, Health and Technology Newsletter explains the various cohort biases that “make the pro-vaccine Covidian omelette”.
  • “Beware of bias” – The ONS’s 2021 Covid anniversary report was accused of bias, writes Laura Dodsworth. “As it produces its vaccine report we should ask, could it happen again?”
  • “This Covid Commemoration is a travesty” – Tom Penn in TCW asks if there will be a plaque to the 40,000 care workers sacked because they asserted their medical right not to be vaccinated.
  • “Anatomy of the sinister Covid Project, Part 4” – Paula Jardine in TCW continues her exposé of the people behind the global biosecurity coup.
  • “SNP’s Forbes blasts ‘illiberal’ attacks on her gay marriage views” – The SNP is in meltdown after the leadership front runner unashamedly stated her devout Christian views on topics from gay marriage to gender identity, reports the Mail.
  • “Can progressives handle Christian politicians?” – Stephen Daisley in the Spectator says that Kate Forbes is “being Faronned”, and he suspects that, “drunk on their own modern (and therefore superior) sense of virtue”, progressives “simply regard orthodox Christianity as bigotry that must be suppressed”.
  • “Kate Forbes’ opponents are the truly intolerant ones” – Apparently, opposing gay marriage and gender self-ID makes you unfit to be Scottish First Minister, remarks Tom Slater in Spiked.
  • “Kemi Badenoch: I admire Kate Forbes for being honest” – The Business Secretary says she respects the SNP leadership contender for telling the truth, even though her gay marriage views have harmed her campaign, reports the Telegraph.
  • “The Negation of Reality is No Fairytale” – Thorsteinn Siglausson sees the woke neutering of Roald Dahl as a symptom of a deeper problem.
  • “There is a real scandal in children’s books – and it has nothing to do with Roald Dahl” – For all his failings, Dahl had children’s best interests at heart, unlike those embedding highly divisive content in the school curriculum, writes Allison Pearson in the Telegraph.
  • “Roald Dahl: Cultural Vandalism” – The woke censorship mob is at it again, says Jack Watson in the New Conservative.
  • “‘I was a sensitivity reader – until I realised why I was hired’” – A sensitivity reader in the Telegraph says that all who were given the role were young and traumatised in some way.
  • “We must defend Stephen Fry from the speech police” – Even right-on, liberal luvvies are now at risk of cancellation and should be defended, says Patrick O’Flynn in Spiked.
  • “‘She’s chosen to live a lie’: Race faker posing as social justice activist who claimed she was of Latin, South Asian and Arab descent is unmasked by her own mother – who confirms the liar is ‘as white as snow’” – Raquel Saraswati, 39, has claimed Arab, Latina and South Asian ancestry, but her mother has revealed she is of white European descent, adding: “She’s chosen to live a lie, and I find that very, very sad,” the Mail reports.
  • “Google tells U.S. Supreme Court it is not legally responsible for internet posts” – Google could be forced to take responsibility for videos that YouTube recommends to its users if a landmark legal challenge against the company that could “blow up the internet” succeeds in America’s top court.
  • “Labour’s Asian-origin heartlands want lower immigration too” – New UnHerd data has revealed that Labour’s Asian-origin heartlands are, like much of Britain, opposed to the currently high levels of immigration into the U.K.
  • “Prince Harry and Meghan break their silence on that South Park episode to blast ‘boring and baseless’ reports that they’re planning to sue – but don’t address claims Duchess is ‘upset and overwhelmed’” – Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have finally broken their silence on the episode of South Park in which they were mercilessly mocked and ridiculed, the Mail reports.
  • “LEGO goes woke! New ‘Friends’ range will include ‘diverse’ characters with different skin tones and one born with a missing limb – while others suffer from ‘anxiety, neurodivergence and Down Syndrome’” – LEGO has unveiled a range of new characters, with a range of skin tones and nationalities, several of whom suffer from disabilities, including one born with a missing limb, reports the Mail. Sounds like fun.
  • “Eating less Meat won’t save the Planet. Here’s Why” – Watch a defence of meat and why its impact on the environment is exaggerated by activists.
