The End of Political and Ideological Allegiances

Pierre Kory / July 1, 2022 / Policy, Public Health / 4 minute read

Tribalism and polarization have made our political and medical discourse nasty and divisive. Doctors must be kept above the partisan fray, not forced to take sides and pick a jersey. Our jobs are too important, and we need to be apolitical to maintain credibility with everyone who comes to us seeking treatment. Progress and innovative medical breakthroughs in the future depend on freedom and medical choice now.

Poke and Sniff: A Lesson from 1906

The case of poke-and-sniff in meat-packing should serve as a warning for all measures that claim to improve our health, whether designed to protect us from disease, balance our diet, or bring us safety or any other reason.

The Cure Was Vastly Worse than the Disease

If we don’t keep speaking out about the horrors that the “public health” mafia, liberal elite, and mainstream scientific narrative has wrought upon us, we will continue down a path toward tyranny of a tiny coterie of “experts” who have perhaps intentionally led us into a miasma of destroyed human lives and societies.

The Age of Deference to Experts Is Over

Michael Tomlinson / June 29, 2022 / Public Health / 14 minute read

There has been a general feeling that in a public health emergency, anything goes. But on the contrary, in a public health emergency, when so much is at stake, the utmost care needs to be taken to find the right path, and not to fall into error, leading to unintended consequences. This involves exploring different paths rather than mandating one path and preventing any possibility of reconsideration.

The Long Arm of the Covid Saga

Gabrielle Bauer / June 28, 2022 / Policy, Public Health / 7 minute read

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Above all, we need to avoid turning long Covid into the new Scary Thing, the monster in the closet that leads a frightened public to demand longer and harsher restrictions on living. No level of protection is worth going through that exercise again.

The Normalization of Dishonesty in Medical Science

Thorsteinn Siglaugsson / June 28, 2022 / Media, Public Health / 3 minute read

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

We should be deeply concerned when we see a study, authored by around 40 medical doctors and PhDs, and peer-reviewed by I don‘t know how many, putting forth a claim that is obviously false, and supporting it with a source that doesn‘t support it.

Lockdowns Harms Impossible to Cover Up

Michael Senger / June 26, 2022 / Law, Media, Policy, Public Health / 2 minute read

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Currently, the mainstream left and right are starting to realize lockdowns were a big mistake, while many career bureaucrats are still stuck pretending lockdowns were the greatest medical breakthrough since penicillin. There really needs to be a bipartisan consensus that lockdowns were an unprecedented policy catastrophe before we can start to see justice and have undue foreign and financial influence taken seriously.

We Must Never Forget

Thorsteinn Siglaugsson / June 21, 2022 / History, Public Health / 8 minute read

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

We have to move on. We have to rebuild our societies, reestablish our moral values and our rights, rebuild trust in science and trust within our communities. But to truly move on, we must face, understand and act on the roots of the catastrophe, and take full responsibility for the part each of us played. This is why we must not forget. We must never forget.

Fauci Finally Gets Covid: The Significance

Jeffrey A. Tucker / June 17, 2022 / History, Public Health / 6 minute read

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

What Fauci was imagining – and very few people picked up on it at the time – was the construction of a new social system. It was not just about this virus. It was about all pathogens and the whole functioning of society. He believed – or he decided to come to believe – that a re-engineering of the social order could successfully beat back common pathogens.

The Emergence of Neo-Fascism in Public Health

David Bell / June 14, 2022 / Public Health / 5 minute read

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Our current condition calls for introspection, not partisanship. As a profession, we have complied with directives to discriminate, stigmatize, and exclude, whilst blurring requirements for informed consent. We have helped remove basic human rights – to bodily autonomy, education, work, family life, movement and travel.

Lockdown Deaths in the US: 170,000

It’s nice of the New York Times to finally print this fact, but they would appear to be, euphemistically, a day late and a dollar short—the “dollar” in this case being as many as 200,000 young American lives.
