Commentary Bastille Day celebrates the 1789 storming of the famous French political prison where the inmates could never appeal their sentences imposed by royal decree. The event is mostly symbolic since there were only seven people in the facility and none of any real significance. But the point is there: such institutions are unjust and…

A Closer Look at the COVID Mortality Rate
Commentary One of the most consistent efforts made by “experts” during the early stages of the pandemic was to attempt to impress on the public that COVID was an extremely deadly disease. While it’s clear that for the extremely elderly and severely immunocompromised, COVID does present significant and serious health concerns, the “experts” did their…

Commentary The Latin phrase pons asinorum literally means “bridge of asses” but for some 300 years has been deployed to mean the critical test of a formula or person, the decisive issue that reveals the essence of what we need to know. The pons asinorum of politics today concerns lockdowns, no more and no less….
Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word
Commentary It’s been more than obvious since April 2020 that lockdowns were far too costly for individuals and society and could never earn a rational public-health defense. And the evidence was rolling in from one year later that the vaccine mandates were similarly indefensible. Both tactics had in common the enormous use of state coercion…

Commentary On April 15, 2020, a full month after the President’s fateful news conference that greenlighted lockdowns to be enacted by the states for “15 Days to Flatten the Curve,” Donald Trump had a revealing White House conversation with Anthony Fauci, the head of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Disease who had already…
Why Fauci Can’t Whitewash His Disastrous Legacy
Commentary This week, ABC News reporter Jonathan Karl asked Dr. Anthony Fauci, the soon-departing head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, if it was a “mistake” for schools to be shuttered as long as they were during the COVID pandemic. “We should realize, and have realized,” Fauci answered, “that there will be…
Revolt of the Donors
Commentary It happened again last night. I spoke to a gentleman who is—or was—a high-dollar donor to the prestigious medical school from which he graduated. He felt gratitude toward them and gave generously for many years and ever more as he had the means. But this medical school during the last three years did nothing…
Why Is Mainstream Media Pushing More Disease Panic?
Commentary A new variant, new boosters, new mandates, new exhortations to mask up and stay safe. Will it ever end? Not if the New York Times gets its way. The politicization of disease was pretty much verboten throughout most of the 20th century. Public-health wisdom strongly recommended against it. It serves no one. It drives…
A Big Picture Look at the Disastrous Public Health Response to COVID-19
Commentary An underlying principle of public health is, or was, to provide the public with accurate information so that they can make good health choices for themselves and their community. The past 3 years have seen this paradigm turned on its head, with the public’s money being used to deceive and coerce them, forcing them…

Commentary A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of speaking at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles alongside my friend and colleague, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya. A month prior, we had also lectured together also at a conference in Rome (which, alas, was not recorded). Fortunately, the LA talks were—link below. When the COVID-19 pandemic…
