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.

Commentary A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of speaking at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles alongside my friend and colleague, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya. A month prior, we had also lectured together also at a conference in Rome (which, alas, was not recorded). Fortunately, the LA talks were—link below. When the COVID-19 pandemic…
Bruce Pardy: Three Judges Forbear COVID’s Hegemony in the Courts
Commentary A year ago in The Epoch Times, I described how Canadian courts were embracing the official COVID narrative. In cases across the country, judges have given deference to governments and public health authorities rather than scrutinize the rationales for COVID measures and mandates. Some have gone so far as to take “judicial notice”—finding facts…
The Real Reason Mandates Are Wrong
Commentary The sinking ship of the mandate enthusiasts took on more water this month with the publication of a powerhouse paper by some of the world’s top bioethicists (from Oxford, Harvard, Johns Hopkins, and Toronto). Drawing on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and sponsor-reported adverse event data, the authors claim that booster mandates at…
Colleges Must Drop Vaccine Mandates
Commentary A handful of colleges have recently announced they will require students to get the new COVID-19 bivalent booster shot. Harvard University and Smith College are both requiring students to take the bivalent booster but not faculty and staff. Tufts is mandating the bivalent booster for everyone, and for the first time ever, mandating the…
Defence Minister Stands by Military’s Vaccine Mandate Amid Months-Long Review
The Liberal government is defending the military’s continued use of a vaccine mandate for Armed Forces members as a condition of employment amid pressure to end the requirement and questions about when a promised “tweak” will finally be unveiled.

To Deal With a Hurricane, Get Vaccinated
Commentary The news came in that hurricane Ian was headed to Florida much faster than anticipated. It’s nothing unusual for this area, and the evacuations began. Those who stay know the drill.

Commentary The idea that Bill Gates is somehow the driving force behind the WHO’s vaccine-centric COVID-19 response is very widespread—at least on Twitter. But this notion recently received some unexpected support from a mainstream media source: Politico, the online news service that was started in D.C. in the naughts, launched a Brussels-based European edition in partnership…
Biden Says the ‘Pandemic Is Over’—but No End to the Spending
Commentary If the pandemic is over, the spending should stop. During a “60 Minutes” interview on Sept. 18, President Joe Biden said that the “pandemic is over.” Yet back in mid-July, he extended the COVID-19 public health emergency, along with its spending, until the middle of October, at which point the Department of Health and…

The U.S. military may be readying for lawsuits as a leaked memo says the Pentagon’s vaccine mandates may be violating laws that protect religious liberty.
