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…

The Pandemic Response Unleashed Two Kinds of Nationalism
Commentary Sunetra Gupta became my whisperer early in the pandemic due to her comprehensive understanding of the relationship between society and infectious disease. When I met her in October 2020, and in several interviews since, she highlighted an overlooked feature of the pandemic response: its nationalism. Every government pretended as if its pandemic response would be juridically…
The New Parasitic Leviathan
Commentary In March 2020, Britain embarked on a novel and experimental policy in order to respond to a pandemic respiratory virus. This was the policy that was dubbed lockdown, a collection of measures consisting of unprecedented interventions to radically reduce the number of daily contacts that people had. It had no basis in numerous previous…

Commentary The idea that Bill Gates is somehow the driving force behind the WHO’s vaccine-centric COVID-19 response is very widespread—at least on Twitter. But this notion recently received some unexpected support from a mainstream media source: Politico, the online news service that was started in D.C. in the naughts, launched a Brussels-based European edition in partnership…
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…

Commentary Consumer inflation rate in the United States has remained above 4 percent since April 2021, 5 percent since June 2021, and 8 percent since March 2022. This last month’s inflation report came in at 8.4 percent, above analysts’ forecasts, disappointing hopes that the inflation rate might start to subside. A significant part of the current inflation is a rather…

Commentary The current U.S. president finally said it during a 60 Minutes interview: “The pandemic is over.” Though obviously true by the classical definition, Biden’s comment seemed almost accidental, said as an echoed response to a direct question. Consider, however, that many times as many people die from COVID daily in the United States (300-400) than when…
Add a Mental Health Crisis to the List
Commentary The years 2020–2022 should go down in history as an epically cataclysmic failure of the intellectuals. The intellectuals were put in charge of the levers of power and utterly wrecked the social and economic order all over the world, all in the guise of virus control. Those who were not part of implementing destructive…

Commentary These days I rarely encounter people who disagree that the pandemic policy was a disaster. You can usually get a laugh at a cocktail party when making fun of sanitizer madness, 15 days to flatten the curve, ubiquitous plexiglass, or 6 feet of distance. The school closures are in disrepute, as are the restriction…
Who Is Driving the Pandemic Express?
Commentary Skeptics of the growing “pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response” (PPR) agenda celebrated recently, heralding a perceived “defeat” of the World Health Organization’s (WHO) controversial amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHR). Although the proposed amendments would have undoubtedly expanded the WHO’s powers, this focus on the WHO reflects a narrow view of global health…
