Reality Check on the Vaccine Narrative

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Over two-thirds said the governments’ pandemic response had been too heavy-handed, 25 percent said the leaders had done the best they could, and 8 percent thought Australia had handled the pandemic as well as any other country. Most strikingly of all, only 35 percent of the 45,000 vaccinated respondents in the poll said they would make the same decision again, while not a single unvaccinated person expressed regret for the decision.

Where’s BioNTech? The EU Parliament’s “Pfizer Hearing” Farce

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

The problem is not corruption. It is rather a flagrant conflict of interest that was built into the EU’s authorization and procurement process right from the start, but that remains invisible so long as BioNTech is ignored. This is presumably why the company was persona non grata at the hearing of the EU Parliament’s committee on Covid: officially known as the COVI (sic) Committee.

Fact Checkers on Viral Transmission: They Get It Wrong Yet Again

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

The trial results have from the start been used to justify draconian attacks on and exclusion of unvaccinated people, for a long time the 95% efficacy claim was relentlessly touted to support mass-vaccination, and those who doubted this, pointing to actual data, immediately became the targets of “fact-checkers” like Madison Dapcevich and were subsequently censored by social media, smeared and ostracised.

The Media Ignored the Parliamentary Debate on Vaccine Safety

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

One does not have to agree with all of the points made by the MPs, and one does not have to dispute the fact that the vaccine rollout saved lives, to understand that questions raised by elected politicians in this debate – around the scale of adverse events, potential breaches of medical ethics and regulatory capture – are serious.

In Search of Safety Signals – Let the Light Shine In

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Policy in public health should be only made on the basis of the evidence available. The evidence available indicates that the strategy of universal vaccination of the whole population exposed some groups to unnecessary risk, and that a differentiated risk-based strategy would have led to better outcomes. Some countries are now belatedly moving in this direction at least for boosters.

Organized Chaos in South Central, Los Angeles 

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Part of what makes this all so frustrating and demoralizing is the way the whole system is set up. No one is really accountable for any of the decisions made regarding exemptions, testing, appeals, or terminations. Everything is done through third parties and anonymous emails.

How College Mandates Shattered My Dreams

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

When I was canceled from UConn, I was in the middle of writing a neurosurgery research journal article and my participation was abruptly stopped. I was planning to study abroad in my junior year, which would have been this year. I looked forward to entering dental school and eventually opening a dental practice. I made a choice for my body – and my college life was interrupted indefinitely.

The Demonization of the Unvaccinated: A Look Back

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

It was never remotely realistic for any government to expect every single person to get vaccinated, especially when the vaccine in question involved a novel genetic-based therapy. Thus, these proposals to impose draconian hardships on those who refused Covid vaccines would inevitably involve the state imposing draconian hardships on a sizable portion of the population.
