In his 2007 book, An Army of Davids, Glenn Reynolds, the founder of Instapundit, wrote optimistically that an army of ordinary people (“Davids”) could use technology and the market to beat the Goliaths of “Big Media, Big Government, and Other Goliaths.”
Social and political responses to the fears of the Coronavirus pandemic are news headlines, but do they deserve headlines? Of course, they are news, but they are not really new news. We have been repeatedly warned about the destructive power of fear.
New article in the UK Guardian newspaper exposes the company behind a Lancet-published study from late May that claimed people with COVID-19 had a higher risk of death from taking hydroxychloroquine.
Many politicians insist that they will “follow the science” in regard to reopening the economy. But the COVID-19 pandemic has placed us in uncharted territory with few relevant precedents to guide policymaking.
Therefore, “Follow the science,” is indistinguishable from, “Do what I say.” This doesn’t prevent activist websites like Undark from smearing reputable scientists who speak out in disagreement.
COVID-19 ‘secret science’ dirty tricks are exposed over the safety and efficacy of hydroxychloroquine (+ zinc, Z-pac) as a reliable prophylaxis/treatment.
During this pandemic we are seeing in play the same tried and tested dirty tactics relied on for three decades by governments to fool us over the ‘climate crisis.’
The British scientist known as Professor Lockdown has undermined the draconian policy he unleashed on the world by confessing that Britain hasn’t fared any better in tackling the disease than the laid-back Scandinavians.
It’s curious … SpaceX has all the money in the world, and they didn’t hire someone who could have accurately predicted the afternoon weather in Florida on May 27, 2020.
It seems like a huge oversight, doesn’t it? And to think there are scores of nonprofit leaders and academics in Washington, DC, who can accurately predict global temperatures 10, 15, even 50 years into the future.
The Lancet has issued a major disclaimer regarding a study which prompted the World Health Organization to halt global trials of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), an anti-Malaria drug currently being used around the world to treat COVID-19.
There has never been a greater opportunity to deploy one vaccine against so many people. So it’s certainly not out of line to consider a “dual use.”
I have already covered the devastating effects of experimental RNA/DNA vaccine technologies—both of which could be launched with a COVID vaccine. Putting that aside for the moment, could the vaccine serve another purpose?
Another NASA climate scientist has revealed their politics and waded into racially charged linkages between “climate justice” and “racial justice.” and “white supremacy.” NASA’s Dr. Kate Marvel declared on June 1: “Climate justice and racial justice are the same thing, and we’ll never head off climate catastrophe without dismantling white supremacy.” Marvel is an Associate Research Scientist at NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York City.

Benjamin T Solomon submits for wider consideration his paper, ‘A Generic Population Spread (GPS) Model Using US COVID-19 Data And Understanding Its Impact.’ We have pleasure in publishing the study in its entirety below. Feedback in the comments section is most welcome.
The COVID-19, aka Coronavirus pandemic, is causing a worldwide shutdown in economic activity as businesses close, airlines cancel flights, energy production is reduced, and people shelter in their homes and drive less.
Potential energy was created to explain the increase in kinetic energy of falling objects. Its creation was not the result of observation but from the need to adapt reality to conform to the theory of gravity.
Our world is ruled by a conflict of interest. In global health, a single person is the top donor of the World Health Organization (WHO)1, directly through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation1 and indirectly through the GAVI vaccine alliance1, which is almost entirely funded by the same charity2.
As the global COVID-19 scourge appears to recede, questions remain over the source and morphology of a virus that had locked down two-thirds of humanity over the first half of 2020. It may take years to satisfactorily decipher this extraordinary episode in human history.
