  • “Donald Trump to face trial as New York grand jury votes to indict him over hush money paid to porn star Stormy Daniels: Becomes first US President ever hit with criminal charge” – A Manhattan grand jury has voted to indict former president Donald Trump over hush money paid to porn star Stormy Daniels, the Mail reports.
  • “Britain’s Covid black hole: A staggering £21bn has been lost to fraudsters since the start of the pandemic, figures reveal – as watchdog warns it’s ‘very unlikely’ most of the taxpayers’ money will be recovered” – According to the National Audit Office, fraud losses rose from £5.5 billion in the two years before the pandemic, to £21 billion in the following two years, the Mail reports.
  • “Covid testing scheme to be wound down just as cases start to rise again – as officials kill off hated app behind ‘pingdemic’ and Nando’s-like alert levels” – Routine Covid tests are to be scrapped for NHS staff, patients and those living in care homes, in the latest step back to pre-pandemic life, the Mail reports.
  • “Ex-SNP MP Margaret Ferrier faces a 30-day ban from the Commons – and a potential by-election – for travelling across Britain by train when she knew she was ill with Covid” – The length of the ban would allow a recall petition to be raised in her Rutherglen and Hamilton West seat, which could trigger a by-election, the Mail reports. Three years later and they’re still pursuing penalties.
  • “The bias in vaccine effectiveness studies is finally being noticed” – Martin Neil and Normal Fenton note a peer-reviewed study that underlines many of the points they’ve been making for the last two years.
  • “Italian Doctor Suspended for Suggesting Autopsies of Sudden Deaths” – Igor Chudov writes about Italian doctor Valerio Petterle, who suggested that sudden deaths of adults are on the rise and recommended doing more autopsies to discover why people are dying unexpectedly, for which crime he was suspended for two months.
  • “A miscarriage of statistics: The thalidomide sequel” – Dr. Ah Kahn Syed offers “proof that the miscarriage rate after the Covid vaccines is far higher than the real background rate and how the pharma corporations tried to hide it”.
  • “Dido Harding’s almost £40bn Boondoggle” – The shocking incompetence of Test and Trace boss Dido Harding laid bare in the Law, Health and Technology Newsletter.
  • “The BBC attack on Bridgen: even more evidence of appalling bias” – A follow-up from Norman Fenton and Martin Neil, who publish a supportive comment from Dr. Joseph Fraiman, the first named author of the study that Bridgen referred to in his Commons speech.
  • “Serious Harms of the Covid-19 Vaccine: A Systematic Review” – Maryanne Demasi summarises for Brownstone the systematic review of the serious harms associated with COVID-19 vaccines that she recently published with Cochrane cofounder Dr. Peter Gøtzsche.
  • “Salute the Swedes for standing up to Project Fear” – Thorsteinn Siglaugsson pays homage to the lockdown holdouts for TCW.
  • “Pfizer/BioNTech C4591001 Trial – Local & Central Testing Rates on Symptomatic Visits, by Trial Sites” – Research from Josh Guetzkow and OpenVAET finds “another good old corruption pattern” in the Pfizer trial sites.
  • “Prepare for a Dutch-style revolt against Net Zero” – In the Netherlands, what began as a row over farm closures has become a much wider movement, says Jamie Blackett in the Telegraph.
  • “Households face Net Zero penalty for sticking with gas” – The Telegraph reports that households are to be penalised if they do not switch away from gas under the Government’s newly announced Net Zero plans.
  • “U.K. Government’s green subsidy ‘reform’ punishes the poor and benefits the rich” – Net Zero Watch warns that Rishi Sunak and his colleagues appear to have learned nothing from the bitter experiences of the energy cost crisis and are ignoring the growing burden of renewable energy.
  • “Rishi Sunak now sees a future for fossil fuels in Britain” – £20bn of investment in carbon capture technology indicates a change of approach, says Ross Clark in the Spectator.
  • “What the new Attenborough series doesn’t tell you” – Ross Clark again in the Spectator busts some myths about the supposed insect apocalypse.
  • “Male powerlifter protests Canada’s woke gender self-ID laws by saying he’s a woman, then entering female contest and smashing bench press record” – A male coach claimed to be a woman in a powerlifting competition and smashed the female bench press record in protest of gender self-identification policies in sport, reports the Mail.
  • “Why Reparations are Wrong” – Dr. Robert Malone lays out the case against the inflammatory swindle.
  • “Rishi Sunak orders independent review of sex education” – The move comes as senior Government figures are understood to be concerned about Education Secretary Gillian Keegan’s ‘soft’ approach to transgender issues, according to the Telegraph.
  • “Trudeau’s Battle Against a Free Internet” – A proposed new law would give the Government the power to filter what Canadians see in their news feeds, on YouTube and on social media, reports Rupa Subramanya for the Free Press.
