A new covid vaccine booster has been released, and the authorities say we all should get it. But what evidence is there that the new vaccine is effective? A neurosurgeon with whom we have corresponded on covid matters writes: I wanted to bring to your attention a new CDC/MMWR study regarding the updated “bivalent” boosters, released by the CDC on Tuesday (accessible here). I think it would be of great

Yesterday the out-of-control Centers for Disease Control’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices voted 15-0 to add the Covid-19 vaccine to the CDC’s child and adolescent immunization schedule. I don’t think there is any scientific basis for this action. Covid has proved not to be dangerous to children and young people; certainly not to infants who are routinely undergoing vaccination. For reasons I frankly do not understand, our establishment has resolved

Yesterday, Florida’s Surgeon General issued a new guidance regarding mRNA vaccines: he said that young men between the ages of 18 and 39 should not be given such vaccines for covid: This analysis found that there is an 84% increase in the relative incidence of cardiac-related death among males 18-39 years old within 28 days following mRNA vaccination. With a high level of global immunity to COVID-19, the benefit of

The advocates for mandatory vaccination ought to be brought up short by a study out today in JAMA, the Journal of the American Medical Association, which looked closely at the data on vaccines and incidents of myocarditis, with findings of special significance for young males. The study boasts 26 authors, including figures from the CDC and top medical schools. It hardly comes much more “mainstream” than this. Myocarditis Cases Reported

The Supreme Court heard oral argument today in two cases involving Joe Biden’s covid vaccine mandates — (1) the OSHA mandate on all private business with 100 or more employees and (2) the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) mandate on health-care workers who participate in Medicaid and Medicare programs. The arguments lasted for roughly three-and-a-half hours. I didn’t listen to them. However, according to the accounts I’ve read,

Yesterday President Biden went out to the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda to deliver “Remarks by President Biden on the COVID-19 Winter Plan.” He spoke in the animatronic style to which we have grown accustomed, with the occasional short circuits and misfires included. He opened with a haywire attempt at humor: I’ve seen more — (laughs) — of Dr. Fauci than my wife. We kid each other, but —

A Missouri federal judge, Matthew Schelp, has just issued an order temporarily blocking the Biden administration’s coronavirus vaccine mandate for health care workers in ten states. The states are Alaska, Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming. These are the states whose attorneys general filed the lawsuit in question. The mandate is now blocked in these states while litigation on the merits of the

Last week, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals reaffirmed its initial stay of Joe Biden’s vaccine mandate. The Court ordered that “Enforcement of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s ‘COVID-19 Vaccination and Testing; Emergency Temporary Standard’ remain[] stayed pending adequate judicial review of the petitioners’ underlying motions for a permanent injunction.” It further ordered that “OSHA take no steps to implement or enforce the Mandate until further court order.” Behind

Via InstaPundit, a study reported in the Telegraph that finds that for teenage boys, covid vaccines are considerably more dangerous than covid: Teenage boys are six times more likely to suffer from heart problems from the vaccine than be hospitalised from Covid-19, a major study has found. *** A team led by Dr Tracy Hoeg at the University of California investigated the rate of cardiac myocarditis – heart inflammation –

A number of countries are instituting, or proposing to institute, “vaccine passport” systems. This means, basically, that no one will be allowed to go out in public, or to enter most public places, without carrying a certificate of vaccination. Understandably, requiring everyone to have “papers” to engage in normal daily activities rubs many the wrong way. Thus, protests have broken out in several countries.

In his opening monologue last night, Tucker Carlson stated that approximately 4,000 Americans, at a minimum, have died after being vaccinated against the Wuhan coronravirus. He cited data from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). Carlson also suggested that VAERS is underestimating deaths among the vaccinated. The actual number might be considerably higher than 4,000, he said. The number of deaths caused by vaccinations might also be considerably lower,

I am generally in favor of people getting covid vaccinations, and I was vaccinated myself a long time ago. But vaccines aren’t for everyone, and many have worried that either public or private entities may require proof of a covid vaccination in order to travel or participate in other normal activities. So far only one state, New York, has implemented a covid passport system called “Excelsior Pass.” While the phrase

When will the nightmare of America’s COVID shutdowns end? Many think the country won’t get back to normal until there is a COVID vaccine. My organization polls Minnesotans each quarter; just last week, we asked some questions about COVID. One was: “Which of the following comes closest to how you see the future of COVID-19 in our lives? Or in other words, when do you think COVID-19 will no longer

Some people whose recent record of predicting elections is better than mine say that riots will decide this year’s presidential race. Other people think that, one way or the other, the mail will decide it. Both theories are plausible. However, I suspect the Wuhan coronavirus virus will be the deciding factor. I just don’t see America reelecting President Trump if, for example, 1,000 deaths per day continue to be attributed

There’s a little bit of good news on the Wuhan coronavirus front. Moderna Inc’s experimental vaccine for the virus proved to be safe and to provoke immune responses in all 45 healthy volunteers in an ongoing Phase 1 study. No study volunteers experienced a serious side effect, but more than half reported mild or moderate reactions such as fatigue, headache, chills, muscle aches or pain at the injection site. These

Last Thursday, senior officials from the Centers for Disease Control and the National Institute of Health testified before a Senate subcommittee on the federal government’s rush to develop, approve and disseminate a vaccine for the Wuhan virus: Collins said he and the Operation Warp Speed team are “very optimistic” a COVID-19 vaccine will be ready by the end of this year and 300 million doses will be available by early

From the U.K. comes the extraordinary news that vaccine manufacturers may not be able to test their vaccines successfully because hardly anyone is getting the Wuhan virus: Hopes that a vaccine for the coronavirus could be ready by September are hanging in the balance, as the scientists developing it are concerned that a slowdown in the rate of infection in the general population could invalidate the human trials currently taking
