COVID vaccines' have failed to achieve what was so lavishly promised in the pandemic's early days, when public health officials and others encouraged the mass media to depict inoculations as the silver bullets that would tame and defeat the virus. It hasn't quite worked out as billed. Robert Clancy, a leading Australian immunologist, explains how and why

Professor Robert Clancy, a practising clinical immunologist, presents three difficult but important questions related to our future with COVID-19. First, what does 'escape from the bubble', a term favoured by chief medical officers and politicians, actually mean? Second, what is the path to that goal of a pre-COVID normality? Third, how can we regain and retain this freedom?

The “great common” of pandemics, as far back as the Black Death that wiped out one-third of Europe in 1347, is that science postdates narratives—and those narratives create cognitive dissonance and “groupthink” driven by power figures of the day. The difference with COVID-19 is that it did not need to be that way: the science […]

A belated recognition of limitations and concerns with respect to genetic vaccines and the consequent failure to impact public health policies has at last begun to seep into the specialist and mainstream press. Better late than never, as they say, but there is much more to be discussed and addressed

One doesn't need a streak of paranoia to notice that Big Pharma, medical bureaucrats and politicians with an undeserved reverence for 'experts' have dismissed and denounced ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine. Of all the tragedies associated with the coronavirus, this campaign to suppress cheap and effective early treatments is one of the greatest

Emergency powers, which enabled the dictatorship of unelected pubic health officials and police supremos, need to be applied only to the natural disasters for which they were originally intended. That's the most valuable lesson of many to be gleaned from the catastrophic circus of the past two ruinous years

Well ….. most of the time, […]

Thirty frontline doctors in Australia recently treated over 600 patients with COVID-19. The treatment strategy was ivermectin (IVM) with doxycycline and zinc. Five of the patients required admission to hospital for progressive symptoms. There were no deaths. In a similar number of contemporary Australian patients not treated with IVM, seventy were hospitalised and six died. […]

Surprisingly, the reasons given by the TGA for the decision forbidding physicians prescribing ivermectin isn't the usual 'unproven', this based on a highly dubious and incomplete survey of the literature. No, it is because widespread use of a cheap, off-patent treatment 'may interfere with the vaccination programme'. What a brazen admission of the bureaucrats' real motive for foiling the use of a much needed drug

The doctor on the radio was lambasting ivermectin as being of no use against COVID-19, so I called in to ask why India witnessed a precipitous decline in infections after the drug's widespread distribution? The station that bills itself as the place 'where you can talk and share what matters most' cut me off in seven seconds flat
