Here's something the BBC won't tell you: Marine Le Pen's National Rally was the only party to increase its vote share in the second round of the French election, says Nick Rendell.
The mounting evidence of harms from lockdowns and vaccines has swelled the ranks of the sceptics. But principled opposition to coercion doesn't depend on efficacy or safety, says Nick Rendell.
Media figures continue to claim that Covid vaccines saved 20 million lives. But it's just modelling, says Nick Rendell – and it's contradicted by the data, which show the unvaccinated didn't die at a greater rate.
If you thought assisted suicide would guarantee a quick, painless death, data from Oregon will make you think again, says Nick Rendell. One person took almost six days to die.
We've gone from pulling out all the stops during Covid to try to save the frail to contemplating euthanasia, where we'll bump them off. Shouldn't we at least have a vote on it, asks Nick Rendell.
The Lancet's analysis implies that without the Covid vaccines global deaths in 2021 would have been 40% higher than normal – a higher mortality rate than World War Two or the great famine of China. This is absurd.
According to modelling published in the Lancet the Covid vaccines saved 20 million lives in the first year alone. How is that possible when UK data show that up to 92% of deaths were in the vaccinated?
With the ever-growing presence of Government surveillance to keep us 'safe' and in line, is a descent into a Chinese-style police state now inevitable, asks Nick Rendell.
BBC World Affairs Editor John Simpson has claimed that climate change is driving mass immigration into Europe. However, surveys reveal that it was the over-reaction to Covid that has really triggered the exodus.
Nick Rendell digs into the evidence to expose once more the lie that locking down sooner would have made any difference – a claim that seems to be taken as read by the Covid Inquiry.
As the Covid Inquiry continues to suggest that locking down earlier would have saved lives, Nick Rendell reminds us that infections were already falling before lockdown and any response would have seemed to 'work'.
The Covid Inquiry in Scotland has already spent around £10m investigating excess deaths during the pandemic. So, when are we going to have an inquiry into the even higher excess deaths now, asks Nick Rendell.
