The Tennessee Battle Over Vaccine Lysenkoism - Brownstone Institute

The Tennessee Battle Over Vaccine Lysenkoism

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

We hope our lower court victory in Tennessee contributes to restoring the primacy of true evidence-based medical decision-making about childhood Covid mRNA vaccination. It is our fervent wish that the ruling also helps galvanize opposition to childhood Covid mRNA vaccine Lysenkoism, within Tennessee, and across the US.

Health Care Students Still Suffer Force

The Covid catastrophe did immense damage to medical care, much of it the result of gross mismanagement at the highest levels of the industry. Those just entering it must be treated with renewed respect and consideration if they are to correct the mistakes of their predecessors. Ending this injustice is an excellent place to start.

Government Investment Into Vaccines Hasn’t Paid Off

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Unless and until manufacturers can show that, with the right payload, mRNA vaccines are as safe and effective as traditional vaccines against the same pathogen, governments really should be more careful about ‘investing’ our money. God knows, they’ve blown enough of it already, these past four years.

The Fairy Tale of Pandemic Risk - Brownstone Institute

The Fairy Tale of Pandemic Risk

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Public health has come into its own over the past few years; a once-backwater profession now promoted to be the arbiters of liberty and human relationships. Outbreaks of diseases associated with death at an average age of about 80, or even purely hypothetical, are now sufficient reason to close workplaces, close schools, upend economies and convince people to turn on their noncompliant neighbors. The result, while impoverishing the many, has driven an unprecedented concentration of wealth.

Brownstone Institute - The Covid Resistance Deserves the Nobel Peace Prize

The Covid Resistance Deserves the Nobel Peace Prize

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.

The Wuhan Cover-Up by RFK, Jr.: Review and Analysis

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

The Wuhan Cover-Up does a better job than any other book or article I have read at exposing the trends, forces, and institutions that brought us the Covid catastrophe – with hundreds of pages of notes and references. What’s frightening is that the enormity of the problem is beyond the scope of the book, not just to solve, but even to fully acknowledge.

Brownstone Institute - Conspiracy Theory Debunker Finds Real Conspiracies

Conspiracy Theory Debunker Finds Real Conspiracies

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

The 2023 book Misbelief by Dan Ariely belongs to a genre I would label “debunking Covid conspiracy theories.” The book is meant to explore the thought process of people who subscribe to conspiracy theories, especially about Covid and the Covid vaccines. Thus I was surprised to encounter in the book two stories in which the author uncovered real conspiracies to hide information about Covid from the public.

Trump’s Covid Response Casts a Long Shadow

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Neither candidate has any reason to bring up the issue of the pandemic response. The situation is somewhat akin to the Mutually Assured Destruction doctrine of the Cold War – we won’t push the button if you don’t push the button and neither of us should push the button because we’re both going to die if we do.

Brownstone Institute - CDC’s Vaccine-Efficacy Epidemiologic Incompetence

CDC’s Vaccine-Efficacy Epidemiologic Incompetence

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Periodically during the Covid-19 pandemic, CDC scientific staff have employed their available studies’ data to estimate the efficacy of current or recent versions of Covid-19 vaccines to reduce risk of testing positive for Covid-19. While the fact of “testing positive” has been somewhat controversial because of the secret PCR Ct threshold numbers involved that have allowed for uninfectious people with unrecognized Covid-19 from some weeks in the past to remain test-positive, my goal here is to illustrate CDC’s problematic epidemiologic methods that have substantially inflated the vaccine efficacy percents that they have reported.
