How the Pandemic Response Changed My Thinking

Commentary Looking back to the “before times”—meaning before the middle of March 2020—we were all quite naive about liberty, technology, the mob, and the state. Most of us had no idea what was possible and that the dystopia in movies could become real in our times, and so suddenly. The intellectual parlor games were over;…


The Corruption of the World Health Organization

Commentary ‘Global Health’ is confusing. A few short years ago community participation, disease burden, resource allocation, and human rights dominated its decision-making processes. Causes such as improving childhood nutrition, empowering minorities, and protecting girls from enslavement and mutilation were acceptable battles to fight. Here we are in 2022: Coercion, exclusion, impoverishment, and big business are…


Can the Medical-Industrial Complex Be Fixed?

News Analysis So many charts from this period of our lives will amaze future historians. The one that stands out to me, about which I’ve seen very little commentary, is that which shows consumer spending on medical services taking a deep dive during a pandemic that everyone says was the worst in 100 years. Would…


May the Force Be With Them: Scientists Fight Back

SARS-CoV-2 started in Wuhan in late 2019. After several waves swept through the world and left millions of people dead, the world is now entering the endemic phase. The scars that COVID-19 have left behind, however, are very fresh and very deep. Leaders in government, science, and medicine, along with the general public, must work…

School Closings and Violent Youth: A Potential Link

Commentary Our greatest fears have now seemed to materialize. The school closures, social dislocation, the two years of isolation, the lockdown psychosis, plus dehumanizing masking and the resulting anxiety, depression, and despair, may have unleashed and may have enhanced depraved and murderous behavior. Two major incidents have been in the news but the trend is…


Don’t Let Big Brother Silence Scientific Debate

Commentary Beware of totalitarian control of scientific and medical thought here in America. Prominent academic publications, medical organizations, and even some state legislatures are trying to silence scientific disagreements about COVID-19. That will kill medical progress. On Friday, Anthony Fauci, the face of the federal government’s COVID response, urged graduates at Roger Williams University in…


Germophobes to the Left and Right

With two years of overreaction to and media obsession with the myriad of ways that COVID-19 can kill or permanently disable people,…
