Public Health Officials Conceal Hospital Infection Outbreaks
Commentary Public health officials struggle with telling the truth. They seem to think people don’t deserve to know. At the beginning of COVID-19, they told us we didn’t need masks instead of admitting there was a mask shortage.

Commentary For 14 months, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has recommended draconian restrictions on Americans’ daily lives to combat COVID-19. The CDC made light of the hardships and economic losses the restrictions inflicted. Call the agency the “Centers for Doubletalk and Confusion.” Now, evidence is emerging that the restrictions were based on flimsy…
Are Democrats Dangerous to Your Health?
Commentary Rep. Jack Kemp used to say that minority voters “don’t care what you know until they know that you care.” Democrats have cleaned up with black and Hispanic voters (although a little less so with each passing election) by professing how much they care.

According to a January analysis by Gallup, 51 percent of health care workers and first responders polled in December were unconvinced of the merits of getting vaccinated, even if the vaccine “was free,…
Biden’s Appointees: Diversity But Not Much Else
Commentary Dr. Rachel Levine’s nomination to be assistant secretary of Health and Human Services is being hailed as “historic” by Democrats and the media, solely because Levine is transgender. That’s crazy. Her own sexual identity should be irrelevant. What’s needed, especially during the pandemic, is competence. Levine lacks it. As Pennsylvania health secretary, Levine was…
