BREAKING: Vaccine passes to be mandatory!

19 July 2021 — Big Brother Watch

URGENT: BREAKING NEWS

The Prime Minister has just announced that vaccine passports are to be mandatory from September for nightclubs and large events.

This is dangerously coercive, counter-productive and wrong.

Trying to Put All America Behind

19 July 2021 — Edward Curtin

Sixty years ago this summer, on August 7, 1961, President John Kennedy signed the bill creating The Cape Cod National Seashore in Massachusetts.  It consists of forty miles of immaculate sandy beach, marshes, ponds, and upland along the Atlantic Ocean, with some portions stretching across the land to Cape Cod Bay in the west.  Henry Thoreau walked this wild Outer Atlantic Beach in 1849.  He said you can stand there and look out to sea and “put all America behind” you.

Do drug trials underestimate side effects?

19 July 2021 — Dr Sebastian Rushworth

by Sebastian Rushworth, M.D.

One commonly used trick in drug trials is to exclude any group that might make the drug look worse, such as those that are more likely to experience side effects. A good recent example of this is the covid vaccine trials, which largely excluded people with auto-immune diseases (more likely to develop an auto-immune disease after vaccination), people with allergies (more likely to have an allergic reaction to the vaccine), and, of course, the elderly (less likely to develop immunity after getting the vaccine, and more likely to become seriously sick from it).
