What was there to like in the Covid era, asks Ramesh Thakur. Billions, if you were Big Pharma. Unchecked power, if you were Big State. More control over the world's governments, for the WHO. Misery for the rest of us.
On every major point of contention, the Great Barrington Declaration was right, while Fearmongers-in-Chief like Neil Ferguson, Anthony Fauci and a host of Pfizer’s useful idiots were wrong, write Ramesh Thakur.
Attempting to force-vaccinate the whole world with a new and untested technology and ignoring the mounting evidence of serious adverse events amounts to criminal negligence, writes Ramesh Thakur.
In retrospect, it’s doubtful if the degree of state coercion deployed to increase vaccine uptake would have been possible without the ground having first been prepared with lockdowns and masks, writes Ramesh Thakur.
On any objective reading, the Royals’ treatment of Lady Hussey is nastier than her 'transgression', and it is Fulani who has behaved the most despicably, writes Ramesh Thakur.
The evidence stacking up against the 'safe and effective' vaccine narrative makes the effort to shut down debates on pain of excommunication from the medical profession a clear and present danger to public health.
From fake alarmism to flawed models, the two ‘crises’ of Covid and climate change have much in common, writes former UN Assistant Secretary-General Ramesh Thakur.
The WHO claims India has missed 90% of its Covid deaths, attributing to the country nearly 5 million deaths, almost a third of the world total and 10 times the official count of 481,486. That is simply not credible.
India's Supreme Court has ruled that owing to "bodily integrity and personal autonomy" and because the Covid vaccines don't prevent transmission, no individual can be forced to get vaccinated.
Models are neither science nor data but a set of assumptions that generate their own tautological conclusions. More than a war on the virus, lockdowns proved to be a war on the poor to protect the laptop class.
