Government Has Just Declared War on Free Speech

A victory in the mask wars! Two hospital providers that brought back mask mandates have backtracked and scrapped them following complaints from Daily Sceptic readers and Smile Free supporters.
Ben Affleck has told his daughter that she needs to be "realistic" about her demands for mask mandates after the 18-year-old was left "extremely disheartened" by the "ridicule" she received in response.
Trump has picked J.D. Vance, the anti-mask mandate Senator from Ohio, as his VP running mate. Strong move, says Thomas Buckley, and not just because Trump-Vance fits perfectly on a sign.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner's 18 year-old daughter has demanded the imposition of "mask mandates" in medical facilities and called for an end to all "mask bans" in a plea to the governing body for Los Angeles County.
The pro-mask cultists are at it again, says Dr. Gary Sidley. In the height of summer, no less, some NHS hospitals are re-imposing mask mandates. Here's how to complain.
We’re in the middle of 2024, and the 'experts' still won’t give up their ridiculous defence of Covid mandates. But it's all just proof-by-assumption based on guesswork and biased data, says Ian Miller.
A series of FOIs proves that the NHS really was just making it up as it went along on face masks. Not a single scientific assessment of risk and benefit could be produced.
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.
Humza Yousaf was told by Nicola Sturgeon’s most high-profile medical adviser to "hold a drink at all times" to get round her rules on wearing a face mask when he was Health Secretary, the Covid Inquiry has heard.
Like those Japanese soldiers still fighting World War II decades later, some UK hospitals continue to mandate masks for patients and staff. When will they accept the evidence is not on their side, asks Dr Gary Sidley.
