Pandemic Preparedness: The New Parasite

Commentary “The frequency and impact of pandemic-prone pathogens are increasing. Modest investments in PPR capacities can prevent and contain disease outbreaks, thereby drastically reducing the cost of response” So begins a recent joint paper from the World Bank and the World Health Organization (WHO), written for the 2022 meeting of the G20. The paper is seeking to…


The World According to Mike Pence

Commentary I’m mostly interested in Mike Pence’s book “So Help Me God” for what he says about the experience of COVID controls, for this is what wrecked the administration he served. That will be my focus in what follows but let me first address what everyone is right now thinking: how could anyone give their autobiography such…


The Evil of Coerced Medicine

Commentary The following is an adapted excerpt, published recently in the Washington Times, from my book “The New Abnormal: The Rise of the Biomedical Security State” from Regnery Publishing, reprinted here with permission. In their understandable enthusiasm to roll out the novel COVID vaccines as widely and quickly as possible in early 2021, the public health…


Fauci’s Contribution to Tyranny in China

Commentary The grim news from China again puts lockdowns on trial. It seems simply incredible that the United States and most Western nations tried some version of what vast numbers of Chinese citizens are protesting now. Moreover, the tactics that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) are using to crush dissent were tried at a lower…


The Doctor Who Can Rebuild Trust: Joseph Ladapo

Commentary If you are like me, you are exhausted of the lies. Every day seems to bring new revelations about how our lives came to be upended. The connections are becoming clearer between the pandemic response and the growing economic crisis, the ballooning debt, the growth of the surveillance state, the corruption and scams, chilling…


4 Myths About Pandemic Preparedness

Commentary We are assured by the World Health Organization (WHO), the World Bank, the G20, and their friends that pandemics pose an existential threat to our survival and well-being. Pandemics are becoming more common, and if we don’t move urgently we will have ourselves to blame for more mass death of the “next pandemic.” The proof of this is the catastrophic…


Sam Bankman-Fried and the Pandemic Industrial Complex

Commentary The collapse of Sam Bankman-Fried and his fraudulent cryptocurrency empire at FTX is news at its most entertaining. Who doesn’t love the story of a bigshot billionaire revealed to be an outright fraud? It’s black-and-white. FTX owes billions in debt and doesn’t actually own a dime of the assets it claimed. Game over. At…


How Money From Gates and FTX Bought Scientific Silence

Commentary Looking back, it’s utterly bizarre how the world of science could have gone so silent even as the world locked down and lives were shattered by the billions by governments the world over. The silence was deafening. We went from a March 2, 2020, letter signed by 800 public health experts associated with Yale…


They Will Lock You Down Again

Commentary The lords of lockdown barely escaped their worst possible fate, namely that the topic would become the national and international source of scandal that it should be. And let’s add the vaccine mandates here too: even if such had been morally justified, which they were not, there is absolutely no practical reason for them…


Global Health and the Art of Really Big Lies

Commentary In a former role I had a boss who lied a lot. The lies were pure fantasy, but massive in scope and delivered with sincerity. They were very successful. This success was based on the reluctance of most people to consider that someone in a position of authority in a humanitarian organization would completely…
