In 2020, the Cochrane Collaboration delayed its review of face masks and NPIs for six months while pushing out on-message rapid reviews based on low quality evidence. It still won't admit it was wrong.

Russell David says he's not a scientist, but he has 12 reasons why he doesn’t trust the 'climate emergency' narrative, including that it seems to be a modern doomsday cult and all the scientists who dissent.

Science found a "near non-existent" benefit of face masks, the Covid Inquiry Lead Counsel told Devi Sridhar last week. "Should this debate have been bypassed?" he asked her. "Exactly," she replied.

Now that puberty blockers have been banned, it's time to ban Covid vaccines for children too, and for the same reason – because they do more harm than good and the evidence of benefit isn't there, says Mike Fairclough.

Puberty blockers in children were always an unregulated live experiment based on no evidence, say Carl Heneghan and Tom Jefferson. The NHS is right to ban them.

There has been no significant warming in one of the most climate-sensitive parts of the planet, analysis of Greenland ice core data show, casting further doubt on the alarmist climate narrative.

Still today, the U.S. CDC recommends that children as young as two wear a face mask to protect against Covid. When will public health officials accept the evidence that they don't work, ask Carl Heneghan and Tom Jefferson.

Does Michael Mann's libel victory over Mark Steyn mean we're saddled with his hockey stick climate chart forever, asks Tony Morrison. Or will good science eventually triumph over bad?

When the Cochrane review of face masks found no evidence of efficacy, Cochrane grandees disowned it. But is evidence now back in fashion, ask Tom Jefferson and Carl Heneghan.
