Adam Creighton is economics editor at The Australian, and a served as a leading voice for two years raising troubling questions about lockdown policies in his native Australia. This interview explores his experiences over two years as an often lone voice.
The event: “Medicine, Science and Public Health: Restoring Trust and International Ethical Principles,” premiered March 20, 2022. What follows is a complete transcript of this important meeting.
Students Against Mandates join with Jeffrey Tucker to discuss the lockdown and mandate trauma of the past two years. From prolonged isolation to discriminating mandates, government overreach to infringement on student and human rights, and what steps the organization is taking to fight back.
What was the underlying goal of these efforts? Did the experts genuinely believe that the virus could be suppressed or even eradicated through these methods? When does track-and-trace make sense and when is it futile, and how can we know?
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has held another roundtable on Covid and the vaccination with a focus on vaccination for healthy children. The Surgeon General of Florida recommends against such practice. This view was later in the day denounced by Jen Psaki at a White House press conference.
Dr. Hodkinson has been speaking and writing on pandemic policy since early on, and found himself embedded with the trucker convoy as they made their way to Ottawa. He is interviewed here by Jeffrey Tucker of the Brownstone Institute.
We hope you enjoy this in-depth interview that covers the origin of lockdowns, the implementation of the idea of 2020, the role of vaccines, the place of government agencies, and the problem of getting out of this mess and finding another path. Historian Thaddeus Russell interviews Brownstone founder Jeffrey Tucker.
These are enormously stressful times for all. They require everyone to reassess and rethink our relationship to technology for reasons of preserving freedom, privacy, and independence. We need to do our best to avoid becoming part of the privatization of the state. We have taken an important step in that direction.
I was not prepared for the absolute horror of being alone and no longer trusting that doctors actually wanted me to live. As I became increasingly lethargic and disoriented, I kept trying to be my own advocate and begging for the right to try medicine and vitamins that I had researched and knew would help me.
It shouldn’t be needed, but it is. Florida governor Ron DeSantis has introduced a patient protection bill, so that ‘if you’re in a hospital or long-term care facility, you have a right to have your loved ones there present with you.’ Every other state and country will hopefully follow. Some places have even prevented the dying from dying in the company and warmth of loved ones.
Students have begun to protest against mask mandates, and one group in an Illinois high school has received some national attention for their position. The group is Voices Unmasked and they are associated with a suburban high school outside of Chicago that has long imposed a severe masking policy.
The Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) published by the Centers for Disease Control has released a fascinating study on comparing hospitalization with Covid-19 immunity status, thus addressing a topic of pressing concern for public health. The study, published in the January 28, 2022 weekly, carries the self-explanatory title “COVID-19 Cases and Hospitalizations by COVID-19 Vaccination Status and Previous COVID-19 Diagnosis — California and New York, May–November 2021.”
