Witnessing the Media’s Covid Coverage from the Inside

Gabrielle Bauer / November 17, 2023 / Media, Society / 7 minute read

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Covid media, like so much else in modern life, has become hopelessly fractured: the tall, left-facing trees dominate the landscape, telling the story of a deadly virus that we “did the best we could” to manage. Below the tree canopy lies the tangle of weeds that sway in the wind, whispering songs of freedom and warning against the totalitarian impulses that all too readily emerge during crises

A Doctor Cannot Give his Professional Opinion?

Armando Simón / October 12, 2023 / Psychology, Public Health / 9 minute read

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

The authorities were wrong in every single aspect of the pandemic: the number of deaths, the number of deaths predicted, the lockdown, the masks, the faux-vaccine, the treatments, the medications, the collateral damage, the refusal to give treatment to the unvaccinated, the ethics. The covid fiasco and the resulting censorship and persecution will go down as one of the classic cases to be taught in medical schools for decades to come.

Are Lockdown Zealots Incapable of Introspection?

Lockdown skepticism was foresight. Thus the prevailing uncertainty and lack of knowledge doesn’t wash with the benefit of hindsight. Professing ignorance now cannot excuse the brutality and severity of pandemic measures.

The Covid Resistance Deserves the Nobel Peace Prize

Ramesh Thakur / February 16, 2024 / History, Vaccines / 12 minute read

It’s hard to see the Norwegian Nobel Committee defying the suffocating Covid narrative that took over the Western world, with a very few honourable exceptions. Of course if they were to do so, that would really stir things up and help to dismantle the narrative. One can but hope for the best while expecting otherwise.

I Weep for My Profession: Letter to the American Economic Association

Donald Boudreaux / September 4, 2022 / Economics / 3 minute read

Your announcement ensures that I will not attend the meetings under such absurd restrictions. Furthermore, it makes me weep for my profession, for it is strong evidence that today’s leaders of the world’s most prestigious organization of professional economists are unaware of basic facts about covid and, worse, ignorant of basic tenets of economics.

When Did Trump Change His Mind about Lockdowns?

Jeffrey A. Tucker / September 26, 2022 / History, Law / 9 minute read

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Consider the incredible timeline here. Trump readily agreed to a two-week lockdown, even though he had no such direct power to order such a thing. He then agreed to a 30-day extension though all reports are that he was upset that he had done so. And even after 36 days, he was publicly critical of Republican governors who proposed a reopening.

No question that the administrative bureaucracies would lock down again under the same or new pretext. Yes, they will face more opposition the next time and trust in their wisdom has fallen off a cliff. But the pandemic response also granted them new powers of surveillance, enforcement, and hegemony. The scientism that drove the response informs everything they do. So the next time, it will be harder to restrain them.
