COVID desk: Harvard’s Pandemic Lies
“The Harvard motto is Veritas, Latin for truth. But, as I discovered, truth can get you fired,” quips former Harvard epidemiologist Martin Kulldorf at City Journal. Kulldorf backed the “Swedish approach” to COVID — no school closures and a focus on the elderly. Sweden saw the lowest excess mortality from COVID in Europe. He argued that people with prior natural infections (and kids) didn’t need vaccines, since “Covid-acquired immunity is superior to vaccine-acquired immunity.” For his views, National Institutes of Health big Francis Collins called him a “fringe” scientist and “asked his colleagues to orchestrate a ‘devastating published takedown.’ ” Kulldorf “faced a choice between science or my academic career” and “chose the former” — though “my hope is that someday, Harvard will find its way back to academic freedom and independence.”
From the right: Biden’s Bridge to Nowhere
In 2020, President Biden said he viewed himself “as a bridge, not as anything else”; the Washington Free Beacon’s Matthew Continetti warns: “If something doesn’t change for Biden soon, he will be the bridge from one Trump term to another.” Why? “Biden’s bridge doesn’t connect to a healthier politics” or “carry us to a safer world.”
“Under Biden, America has behaved ambivalently as the Middle East descended into regional war and watched China, North Korea and now Haiti with worried eyes,” while “millions of illegal immigrants have crossed the southern border, including individuals on the FBI terror watch list and hardened criminals.” “Americans doubt his capacities and say his policies have hurt not helped them,” and “if they do sense improvement in their lives, do not credit Biden for it.”
