Harsh COVID Lockdowns in Ireland Hindered Babies’ Language and Social Development: Study

Ireland’s COVID-19 lockdown measures, known to be among the toughest in Europe, have delayed the speech and social development of newborn babies, a new study suggests. According to researchers at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, Irish babies born during the early months of the pandemic lockdown are meeting fewer developmental milestones in speech…


Bruce Pardy: Three Judges Forbear COVID’s Hegemony in the Courts

Commentary A year ago in The Epoch Times, I described how Canadian courts were embracing the official COVID narrative. In cases across the country, judges have given deference to governments and public health authorities rather than scrutinize the rationales for COVID measures and mandates. Some have gone so far as to take “judicial notice”—finding facts…


The Pink-Collar Worker Crisis

Commentary The first time I heard the phrase “pink collar worker” was two days ago from The Atlantic, which published fascinating data on what it describes as mass burnout among nurses, childcare workers, teachers, and other women-dominated professions. The phrase itself dates from the 1970s—the female version of “blue collar” one supposes—and I’m oddly surprised…

Lockdowners Have No Shame or Remorse

Commentary I’ve just woken up to the astonishing news that Anthony Fauci’s agency (NIAID) has doled out another $653,392 to Peter Daszak of EcoHealth Alliance. The money began to flow last week. Alex Berenson seems to have broken the story. I’m in a state of disorientation and amazement, as are many others. The grant makes…

Now That the Pandemic Is Officially Over, We Examine How Unscientific Lockdowns Proliferated Across the Globe | Truth Over News

President Joe Biden has now declared that the pandemic is over. We’ve known this for a long time, but it’s still nice to hear him say it. And another remarkable thing happened last week. The New York Times finally admitted it too: Lockdowns don’t work. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has plainly won the political argument…


When Did Trump Change His Mind About Lockdowns?

Commentary All sources we have so far testify that Trump greenlighted nationwide lockdowns the weekend of March 14–15, 2020, under the influence of Deborah Birx, Anthony Fauci, Jared Kushner, and a few others. Brownstone has documented this weekend in great detail. This disastrous decision culminated in the press conference of March 16, 2020. At this event…
