Buying Up Big

“Never before [had] the search for traces of a virus [been] carried out so broadly and intensively… besides, many cases of death, that happened to coincide with seropositive H1N1 lab-findings, were simply attributed to “swine flu” and used to foster fear“. ~ Dr Wolfgang Wodarg, EU Parliamentary Health Committee, 2009 It took me many months … More Buying Up Big

Evidence Based Public Health and Political Conspiracy

Every cloud has a silver lining. Discovering Professor John Ioannidis would have to be one of the best silver linings of the Covid pandemic response. The Inaugural Lecture of the European University of Cyprus Public Health Lecture Series features a presentation by Ioannidis. Described as a paragon of evidence based medicine and meta-research, famous for … More Evidence Based Public Health and Political Conspiracy

Misleading the World

I don’t know if Israel National News is a mainstream media outlet, but I guess perhaps it is not given the article Lawyers to sue WHO for ‘misleading world over COVID-19 outbreak’ which they published on 28 February 2021. The article includes a video interview with Dr Reiner Fuellmich which I first shared here three … More Misleading the World

Pandemic Pandemonia

If mainstream media were taking notice and reporting these events instead of focusing on scary mutant viruses and other fear mongering which keeps chaos alive and obstructs evidence based public health responses, then Christian Drosten would be a globally recognised name. Instead most appear to never have heard of him.  He is well known in … More Pandemic Pandemonia

Investigative Journalism

Scattered amidst the single consensus narrative you occasionally find an actual investigative journalist. Anna Brees (UK) and Naomi Wolf (USA) are worth following. Days ago a German court ruled lockdown as a “catastrophically wrong political decision with dramatic consequences for almost all areas of people’s lives”. Naomi Wolf interviews Kevin McKernan and Bobby Malhotra in … More Investigative Journalism

This is from the WHO Information Notice for IVD Users (In Vitro Diagnostic Users), dated 7 December and published online 14 December 2020. That’s almost exactly 11 months after … More Making WHO Accountable

Politics, Poverty, Phylogeny and Poetry

Kung Future in Cambodia are starting a maternal-child nutrition project with a small foundation sponsorship received recently. Unable to travel there, it is an Australian-English-Cambodian partnership underway with untrained local staff implementing the work via support through Zoom meetings. At a time when extra and intensive support is needed most in the face of hunger … More Politics, Poverty, Phylogeny and Poetry

Pandemic PCR Problems

In 2009 I had a very strange, quite traumatic work experience. I was part of a public health team who provided a local response to the Swine Flu (H1N1/09) pandemic. Our usual outbreak response of calm, critical thought following planned, evidence-based practice was overridden by media and political histrionics. It took place over a number … More Pandemic PCR Problems

Clickbait and Kludge

There are some truly inspiring medical doctors using Twitter to share information about Covid-19. One of the most impassioned I follow is Dr Thomas Binder. He earned a PhD in Virology/Immunology before specialising in Cardiology, has over 30 years medical experience and works as an Associate Professor at a medical university in Austria. There are … More Clickbait and Kludge
