Why N95s Fail to Stop the Spread

Megan Mansell / January 24, 2023 / Masks / 18 minute read

By examining the hypothetical best-case scenario, we can better predict if a given measure will have a mitigating impact on the identified hazard. For N95s versus output, particle- to- PFU ratios, and MID for SARS-CoV-2, best-case scenario of hypothetical perfect capture of matter that these apparatuses are neither designed nor approved to capture shows them to still be non-mitigating for this hazard, and recommendations for their use should be immediately reconsidered.

Australian Senate to Investigate Excess Mortality

Ramesh Thakur / April 15, 2024 / Masks, Public Health, Vaccines / 14 minute read

Clearly, most people are done with Covid and have stopped paying heed to the advice from public health authorities. This of course contains its own long-term dangers. Are Labor and the Greens not interested in knowing the vaccine truth and restoring public trust in the integrity of our public institutions, including Health and Parliament?

The Limited Hangout of the Mandaters

Thomas Harrington / February 8, 2022 / Law, Masks, Philosophy, Policy, Society / 4 minute read

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

There is nothing more central to the idea and practice of freedom than bodily autonomy. It is the basal freedom from which all others are derived. Without it—as the history of slavery starkly reminds us—all other liberties are comparatively ornamental.

When Believing the Health Authorities Requires Denying Obvious Realities

Thorsteinn Siglaugsson / June 7, 2022 / Masks, Policy, Vaccines / 4 minute read

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

With every excuse we accept, with every denial we echo, every misguided action we support, we entangle ourselves more and more deeply; by each step, we take a higher stake in the narrative, and the higher it gets, the more fiercely we defend our parallel set of truths; the harder it becomes to break away and accept reality.

Florida Registers Nation’s Lowest COVID Case Numbers

Jordan Schachtel / October 18, 2021 / Policy, Public Health / 4 minute read

Florida is now outperforming every state in the contiguous United States in terms of new COVID-19 cases per capita. And they did it all without a Vax Pass system, widespread business closures, mask mandates, and/or draconian lockdowns.

Where Is the Science or Logic Behind Mandated Vaccines?

Michael Betrus / September 1, 2021 / Policy, Public Health, Vaccines / 11 minute read

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

The people at Pfizer, Moderna, Janssen and even frontline healthcare workers understand the science and data behind the vaccines better than anyone. If even a large minority of these people are reluctant or refuse to get vaccinated, it should tell us all something. COVID-19 is not a one-size-fits-all disease and should not be treated as such.

Japan’s Covid Nightmare

Ramesh Thakur / January 23, 2023 / Public Health, Vaccines / 9 minute read

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Japan hit 80 percent full vaccination (which translates into over 90 percent vaccination of adults) on 9 December 2021 when its Covid daily death rate was 0.01 per million. This had risen to 3.43 per million on 9 January 2023. Total deaths had increased from 18,370 to 63,777 over that period. Thus 2.5 times as many people died with Covid in the 13.5 months after than in the 21.3 months before 80 percent full vaccination. Yet they still refuse to entertain the notion that vaccines might be the problem, not the solution.

Twenty Grim Realities Unearthed by Lockdowns

If you haven’t changed your thinking over the last three years, you are a prophet, indifferent, or asleep. Much has been revealed and much has changed. To meet these challenges, we must do so with our eyes wide open. The greatest threats to human liberty today are not the ones of the past and they elude easy ideological categorization. Further, we have to admit that in many ways the plain human desire to live a fulfilling life in freedom has been subverted. If we want our freedoms back, we need to have a full understanding of the frightening challenges before us.

Is McKinsey & Company Part of the Deep State?

Toby Rogers / August 30, 2023 / Economics, Government / 14 minute read

The administrative state is horrible and it deserves to be called out. The next President can and should cut the administrative state in half (one could do so with no loss in services). But reading When McKinsey Comes to Town I realized that management consultants likely make up a larger share of the deep state than bureaucrats.

I Cannot Believe It’s Come To This

We’ve never lived in Texas, in fact I’d never even been to Texas when we finally decided to bail out of New Jersey, during “Omicron.” Before that, I don’t think my husband thought I was serious about moving. But my intuition had been telling me for months, many of them, that this wasn’t the place for me. I feel betrayed.
