Global Health and the Art of Really Big Lies
Commentary In a former role I had a boss who lied a lot. The lies were pure fantasy, but massive in scope and delivered with sincerity. They were very successful. This success was based on the reluctance of most people to consider that someone in a position of authority in a humanitarian organization would completely…
Should US Officials and Pharma Execs Be Charged With Crimes Against Humanity?
The U.S. elites who pushed COVID-19 regulations want forgiveness for the punishment they inflicted on middle-class Americans. Schools closed. Children hurt. Businesses destroyed.

Commentary PITTSBURGH—L. Hafer of the Pittsburgh Daily Post paid a visit way back on June 9, 1847, to Mercy Hospital, the Catholic hospital begun by the Sisters of Mercy, a religious congregation founded in Ireland. The hospital had just opened its doors four months earlier in a former concert hall smack in the middle of…
Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word
Commentary It’s been more than obvious since April 2020 that lockdowns were far too costly for individuals and society and could never earn a rational public-health defense.
