The World Health Organization (WHO) said Friday that regions with community spread of Omicron were seeing cases doubling at a rate of once every 1.5 to 3 days, a higher pace than previous variants. In a technical brief issued on Dec. 17, the health agency said that Omicron has been detected in 89 countries so…
Omicron Infections Doubling In 1.5 to 3 Days in Regions With Community Spread: WHO
‘Follow the Science’ a Potent Source of Authority for Politicians
News Analysis To hear the way some politicians talk, when it comes to COVID-19, they’re all “Following The Science,” not to mention “The Data.” “Look at the data. Follow the science. Listen to the experts. Be smart,” tweeted now-former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in May 2020, after “Two Weeks to Flatten the Curve” had…
Glaxo Says Its COVID-19 Antibody Treatment Effective Against Omicron

Glaxo said in a Dec. 7 statement that new preclinical findings generated from in vitro testing of the drug, called sotrovimab, show that the treatment…
Omicron May Have Picked Up Genetic Material from Common Cold Virus
Researchers said in a newly published preliminary study that one of Omicron’s dozens of mutations likely arose when the variant picked up a bit of genetic material from another virus, possibly one that causes the common cold, potentially making the new strain more transmissible yet milder in impact. The study, which has not yet been…
What Do We Know About Omicron?
It’s been just days since a new strain of COVID-19 made headlines across the planet. While the World Health Organization (WHO) has warned that the new Omicron variant presents a “very high risk,” other scientists, including some with WHO, have stressed that we still have much to learn about the new CCP (Chinese Communist Party)…
Dr. Harvey Risch: Hydroxychloroquine, Ivermectin, and Other Therapeutics Highly Effective in Early COVID Treatment
“These drugs have been suppressed… for reasons that have nothing to do with the science and the medicine.” In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Harvey Risch, a professor of epidemiology at the Yale School of Public Health and Yale School of Medicine. He says therapeutics, including hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin, can be highly effective…
PART 2: Dr. Paul Alexander on the Politicization of Science and Why Healthy Children Shouldn’t Get COVID Vaccine
“If you say these vaccines are safe for my children…remove the liability protection.” Previously, in part one of our exclusive interview with Brownstone Institute’s Dr. Paul Alexander, an expert in evidence-based medicine and clinical epidemiology, we discussed booster shots, the data on natural immunity, and the failures of lockdown policies. Now in part two, he…

Could Boosters Backfire?—Dr. Paul Alexander on Booster Shots, Natural Immunity, and the Failures of Lockdowns | PART 1
“We do not know how the immune system is going to react to so much boosting. Why? Because the vaccine developers did not study it.” In this two-part episode, we sit down with Brownstone Institute’s Dr. Paul Alexander, an expert in evidence-based medicine, research methodology, and clinical epidemiology. He served in the Trump administration in…
