When a nation bears the blame for more than 7 million deaths worldwide, what is Washington going to do? More than 1.2 million Americans died as a result of a plague that began in China. Those staggering global and U.S. figures are the numbers reported to the World Health Organization. They make the COVID-19 pandemic arguably the deadliest event the human race has suffered since World War II.…

Well, here’s a surprise: NPR’s “On Point” podcast, hosted by Meghna Chakrabarti and transmitting out of NPR member station WBUR in Boston, featured, on its May 5 show, an interview with author David Zweig highly critical of the hysterical and harmful reaction by the liberal “public health” establishment to the COVID pandemic.

Thursday’s CBS Mornings Plus featured a remarkable segment about a new book from reporter David Zweig about the wholly political behavior and unscientific actions of keeping schools shuttered long-term during the Covid pandemic, perpetuated by so-called public health experts, certain politicians, and teachers unions. Co-host Tony Dokoupil showed disgust with this period of time and…

National Public Radio science desk correspondent Rob Stein is about five years behind on COVID origin speculation, still taking the politically correct side, that it’s beyond the pale to accuse China of letting the COVID virus leak from a government laboratory, and that the alternate theory, that COVID spread naturally from animals to humans, is unassailable: “‘Lab Leak,’ a flashy…

We've reached the five-year anniversary of when the U.S. government locked down the country to curb the Covid pandemic. It lasted much longer than "Two weeks to stop the spread." CBS and PBS explored the anniversary, but there were no apologies for getting so much of the "science" wrong and using the pandemic so mercilessly against Trump and Republican governors in an election year.
