  • “Something clearly went wrong” – The New York Times published a long piece based on its interview with Dr. Anthony Fauci.

  • “The big fail” – If vaccinations were doing what they were promised to do, countries with higher vaccination rates would have relatively fewer deaths from Covid. But there is no evidence that this is happening, says Spike Hampson in Brownstone.
  • “Fresh pandemic panic as virologists discover bird flu spreads ‘efficiently’ in ferrets” – Experts and journalists appear to be teaming up again to stoke fear over a new virus. This piece in MailOnline shares a warning that a bird flu “could be 100 times worse than Covid if it ever jumps to humans”.
  • “FDA chief shares misinformation while vowing to fight misinformation” – If the FDA wants to curb the spread of misinformation, it should start by looking at its own behaviour, says Maryanne Demasi on Substack.
  • “More vaccines and fake meat to appease the biotech monster” – In TCW, Guy Hatchard laments the large sums of public funding being directed to “produce more biotech vaccines and industrial quantities of fake meat”.
  • “The narcissism of Just Stop Oil” – Is the motivation of all the Just Stop Oil demonstrators what it seems, asks John Mac Ghlionn in the Spectator.
  • “Officer, please help me get to work!” – Driver blocked by Just Stop Oil activists pleads with policeman to help him get through – but the officer simply walks past, reports MailOnline.
  • “Heat pump voucher ‘failure’ leaves households facing £2,500 bill” – Minister admits households will still pay thousands to go green, reports the Telegraph.
  • “Reason is worth fighting for” – Peter Boghossian, Faculty Fellow at the University of Austin and co-author of the book How to Have Impossible Conversations, joined the Brendan O’Neill Show to discuss whether universities are worth saving. Spiked has posted an edited extract from their conversation.
  • “Groupthink is stifling the university” – Harvard’s new Council on Academic Freedom could provide some much-needed pushback to the culture of conformity, writes Charlotte Blease in Spiked.
  • “Steven Spielberg: ‘No film should be revised’ based on modern sensitivity” – Director has criticised the practice of re-editing older films while expressing remorse over removing guns in a later edition of ET, according to the Guardian.
  • “Suella’s crackdown on woke police” – Home Secretary Suella Braverman issued a stark warning to police today, saying that they should stay out of gender issues and avoid taking the knee, reports MailOnline.
  • “Now wanting to be thin is ‘white supremacy’” – NPR guest and author of Fat Talk claims people’s desire to be slim stems from end of slavery, as Americans sought other ways to ‘demonise black and brown bodies’, reports DailyMail.com.
  • “Sadiq Khan’s new appointee called Tories ‘murderers’ and Starmer a ‘scab’” – The Mayor of London has distanced himself from his own advisor, after the Express discovered a number of hard-line tweets.
  • “The pathology of anti-Semitism” – “One of the best ways to work out that somebody has not thought deeply about anti-Semitism is if they say that they wish to destroy it once and for all,” says Douglas Murray in the Spectator.
  • “Music classes cut in Washington state over ‘white supremacy’ and ‘institutional violence’” – The Olympia School District in Washington state is planning to cut music classes it feels promote “white supremacy culture” and “significant institutional violence”, reports the PostMillennial.
  • “Rishi Sunak refuses to apologise for U.K.’s past involvement in slave trade or to pledge reparations” – Prime Ministers says “trying to unpick our history is not the right way forward” in response to Labour’s Bell Ribeiro-Addy, reports the Guardian.
  • “Schools are ditching homework and deadlines in favour of ‘equitable grading’” – The approach aims to account for hardships at home, but teachers say some students game the system, according to the Wall Street Journal.
  • “The witch trials of J.K. Rowling continue” – In Quillette, Holly Lawford-Smith dissects a lengthy YouTube attack on gender-critical feminists that claims Rowling’s position channels a “crypto-reactionary backlash disguising itself as feminism”.
  • “Maybelline faces calls for a boycott after marketing partnership with Dylan Mulvaney” – Maybelline is the latest company to be threatened with a public boycott after sponsoring transgender social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney to post a video online promoting its make-up, according to MailOnline.
  • “Denying the sexes is bigger than bathrooms and sports. It’s about forcing all of us to live a lie” – We are fighting not just a culture war but a war for rationality, science and norms, writes Rebecca Velo in the Federalist.
  • “If I’ve saved one child from being injured, then it’s worth it. If it’s cost me my political career, then so be it” – In an interview with GB News, Andrew Bridgen stands by his decision to challenge Government Covid vaccine policies despite the consequences he is facing.

'If I've saved one child from being injured, then it's worth it…If it's cost me my political career, then so be it.'
