Labor Markets: Bruised, Battered, and Broken by Lockdowns and Mandates

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

It’s tremendously sad to see a whole nation slip so far so fast into decline, as evidenced by the latest labor-market data that has profoundly impacted the most vulnerable. It is easily reversible but we seem to lack the wisdom and courage that would be required to turn this around.

The University of California Has Put Me on Leave for Challenging Their Vaccine Mandate

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

This legal fight is important not only to set appropriate limits to vaccine mandates. It is also important for the future that—now in this crucial moment—we refuse to allow our institutions to set dangerous and unjust precedents. Today’s precedents could later facilitate even more coercive mandates and infringements on civil liberties by unelected officials, done during a declared “state of exception” or emergency that has no defined terminus—a dangerous precedent for a democratic society.

The Covid Morass: An Academic and Mother Asks Questions

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

We have already seen many instances during the Covid pandemic where despite assurances to the contrary, things did not evolve as expected. It seems clear that we simply don’t know what is going to happen next, or what the consequences of our actions and choices will be. What is perhaps most troubling is that this acknowledgement has been almost completely absent from the rhetoric of our leaders and decision makers. It does not show ignorance or weakness to be honest about this reality, it shows wisdom and discernment.

Biden’s Vaccination Mandate: Where Are the Regulations?

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

It’s true that Biden does not have the power to impose that directly but he might have the power to order a regulatory body under his authority to write rules that amount to the same thing. And even if the regulatory agency never gets around to it, the perception that the order is real and enforceable is enough to cause the outcome he desires.

Contrived Spectacles of “Protecting and Caring for the People”

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Does it seem normal to you that, in a dramatic reversal of historically predominant moral logic, the press harshly questions those who most want to preserve the social fabric and the existing rhythms of life while they lionize those who most seek to disrupt it?

Lockdowns, Mandates, and Natural Immunity: Kulldorff vs. Offit

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

“We have seen during this last year and a half that all the hard work we’ve done over many decades to build trust in vaccines are now disappearing because we’re making these mandates that makes no sense from a scientific or public health perspective.” ~ Martin Kulldorff

Masks: Before and After They Became Political

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

If one actually takes the time to consider the preponderance of evidence regarding universal masking, it becomes extremely difficult to conclude that it has had, or was ever expected to have, a significant effect on the course of the pandemic. The evidence certainly doesn’t come even close to matching the quasi-religious fervor exhibited by the popular media, mask-mandating helicopter politicians, or your judgy virtue-signaling neighbor.

Great Barrington Declaration: One Year Later

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

We must bring this sad state of government-promoted mandates to an end. And we must follow the wisdom the field of public health has acquired over a hundred years about what works, what protects people from both COVID and other health risks, and what protects the social fabric of our larger human experience.

Harvard Epidemiologist Censored by LinkedIn for Defending Healthcare Jobs

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

In taking this action, LinkedIn has denied crucial information to millions of professionals who deserve to hear a different opinion about the mass firings taking place in light of the vaccine mandates that contradict the known science and freedom in the marketplace for jobs. The move is a direct hit against workers and their career aspirations.
