Commentary “COVID has shown government officials how to do an end-run around the normal system of checks and balances. They simply need to invoke ‘science’ and declare an emergency — and then extend their emergency orders time and again. Anyone who dares challenge the emergency orders will be stigmatized as ‘anti-science,’ or they will be…

Commentary All in less than one week, Israel has repealed restrictions and is backing off vaccine mandates, even as cases and deaths are hitting new highs, and implausibly so in the most vaccinated and boosted country in the world. The UK has backed off too. Same in Denmark, Ireland, Finland, and Norway. Switzerland has joined in,…
Lockdowns Had ‘Little to No Public Health Effect,’ Analysis of 24 Studies Concludes
Lockdown measures used by governments worldwide to reduce the death toll from the pandemic had little or no impact on COVID-19 mortality, according to three researchers who analyzed 24 studies. The researchers, led by Steve Hanke, the co-founder of The Johns Hopkins Institute for Applied Economics, Global Health, and the Study of Business Enterprise, screened 18,590…
Justin Trudeau Ducks the Great Trucker Revolt
Commentary The resistance reveals itself always in unexpected ways. As I type, thousands of truckers (numbers are in flux and are in dispute) are part of a 50-mile-long convoy in Canada, headed to the capital city of Ottawa in protest against an egregious vaccine mandate imposed by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. They will be joined…
Trucker Convoy: All Sides Should Defend Freedom Without Going Insane
Commentary Honk if you love freedom. Sneer if you hate the rabble. Tweet an obscenity if you’re insanely tribal. My goodness. What a commotion. Have we all gone mad? Perhaps. The lockdowns have been hard on everyone. And while folly and abuse were not invented yesterday, I am still very concerned as the trucks converge…
The Public Health Response to COVID-19: A Missed Opportunity
In an in-person interview last month, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky told ABC News that the COVID-19 crisis was far from over. The best way to end the pandemic, Walensky insisted, is to “lean in” to the same public health strategies that the CDC has been recommending for nearly two years now: masking, social distancing, and vaccinating….

The Chinese regime is bringing back new lockdown for an alleged new outbreak of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus. Videos have emerged of authorities welding shut the doors of housing complexes and locking people inside, and reports are increasingly emerging of people nearing starvation. These actions take place just ahead of the Beijing Olympics, and…
The Reactionary Political Ethos of Lockdowns and Mandates
Commentary The national press barely covered the anti-mandate, anti-lockdown rally in D.C. (Jan. 23, 2022), and when they did, they mostly described it as an “anti-vaccine rally.” That’s a ridiculous thing to say about an event involving some 10K-plus people who have had enough of the coercive impositions of the last nearly two years. To…
