Nature was once the world's most prestigious scientific journal. Yet in the last few years, it has become increasingly woke. The latest example is a bizarre article suggesting fat people contribute to "diversity".
South Korea has one of the world's highest vaccination rates. Yet by the end of March, mortality was 67% higher than normal – a greater increase than France saw during the first wave, before anyone was vaccinated.
A lesser known reason for the high price of gasoline is lack of refining capacity. And restoring that takes time. So even if oil production rises, the price at the pump is unlikely to fall dramatically any time soon.
The legal scholar Ilya Shapiro was subjected to a four month investigation for a tweet he sent *before* his appointment began. This marks the second time in one year that Georgetown Law has caved to the mob.
Ukrainian men are banned from leaving the country, and as losses mount, they could be called up to fight. If the West continues arming Ukraine, we should insist that those who wish to leave be allowed to do so.
In 2014, dozens of protestors were killed by snipers on Maidan square, sparking Ukraine's 'Revolution of Dignity'. But eight years later, not a single person has been convicted. Was the massacre a false flag?
Is foreign policy even crazier than public health? A few weeks ago, one "expert" with more than 100K followers said we should "eliminate nuclear Russia", adding "some nukes can explode, but they will explode anyway”.
For the first two years of the pandemic, Iceland and Australia did not see any spike in excess mortality. That has now changed, casting further doubt on claims the vaccines are 90% effective against death.
A recent article in the Times claims that our ministers "did their best" during the pandemic, since we finished in the middle of the Covid death table. But the article ignores Britain's dismal economic performance.
A new freedom of information request has revealed that *another* author of the infamous Lancet letter, which referred to "conspiracy theories" about Covid origins, gave the lab leak credence in a private email.
The UN's food price index is now as high as it was during the 1970s oil crisis, and the World Food Programme has warned that 2022 will be a year of “catastrophic hunger”. Lockdown is one major culprit.
A new pro-lockdown study has been doing the rounds on social media. The author accused one critic of "libel" for saying it was "intellectually dishonest" to draw strong conclusions from dubious methods.
Many studies have found that school closures harmed children's education. So it's not surprising there's been a dramatic decline in pupil attainment in England since 2019 – as new government statistics reveal.
By the end of last year, Lithuania's elderly vaccination rate was 32 percentage points higher than Romania's. Yet since the start of the vaccine rollout, the two countries have had similar levels of excess mortality.
A major global survey has found that most people on earth believe their country limited freedoms too much during the pandemic. Disappointingly, Brits were the fifth least likely to say the government went too far.
A study claims the vaccines saved 500,000 lives in the UK up to 8 December 2021. But this isn't plausible. The number of excess deaths in the first year of the pandemic (before vaccines) was only 76,000.
South Korea was the poster child for the 'contain and vaccinate' strategy. However, it now has the same excess mortality as Sweden, and almost all South Korea's deaths occurred after the vaccine rollout.
A study by four economists has found that school closures in the US caused a large decline in math pass rates. This result provides yet more evidence that the switch to remote learning harmed children's education.
Does the virus have a natural origin or did it leak from a lab? Will a new investigation settle the debate? Read our exclusive interview with Matt Ridley, co-author of 'Viral: The Search for the Origin of COVID-19’.
Surveys in Britain show that students have become less supportive of free speech since 2016. But surveys in America show no trend over the same time period. Why the difference between the two countries?
Hitler's invasion of Poland is not a good analogy for Russia's invasion of Ukraine. For one thing, Hitler didn't have nukes. And if you take the analogy to its logical conclusion, we should be declaring war on Russia.
It's time to admit sanctions on Russian energy have backfired. EU inflation is the highest on record, and Russia's oil revenues have risen. What's more, Europe is still buying Russian oil – from India.
Putin recently compared himself to Tsar Peter the Great. Does this mean NATO never mattered? No. The point is that Putin would not have acted on his 'imperialist' beliefs had the West followed a different policy.
Inflation in Europe is soaring. Germany's rate is the highest in 40 years. The major culprit is the rising cost of energy – a trend which began last year, and has been exacerbated by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
