UK Crony Capitalism: The NAO report

Stamping on the ‘anti-vaxxers’ – a very stupid idea
The COVID19 pandemic has thrown into sharp relief the concerns that a number of people have about vaccination.

A Plea to MPs From Mike Yeadon: “Don’t Vote For Lockdown”
There is a small and potentially growing all-causes excess mortality signal.

Previous posts about misleading Syria coverage – from MSF, Amnesty International, Channel 4 and George Monbiot of the Guardian – used the past tense in their title. However, this one is current.
