    Resource Type: Article
    Published: 2020
    The impossible has happened and the world we knew has stopped turning around. But what world order will emerge after the coronavirus pandemic is over – socialism for the rich, disaster capitalism or something completely new?

    Resource Type: Article
    Published: 2020
    While there are researchers all over the world working on developing a COVID-19 vaccine, they are to a large extent working in competition. Each team wants to be the first to develop a vaccine so that they can secure a patent and get immensely rich.
  4. Capitalism is an Incubator for Pandemics: Socialism is the Solution
    Resource Type: Article
    Published: 2020
    Coronavirus is wreaking havoc across the world. Capitalism cannot adequately respond to a global health crisis. That's why we need socialism.
  5. Capitalist agriculture and Covid-19: A deadly combination
    Resource Type: Article
    Published: 2020
    The real danger of each new outbreak is the failure -- or better put -- the expedient refusal to grasp that each new Covid-19 is no isolated incident. The increased occurrence of viruses is closely linked to food production and the profitability of multinational corporations. Anyone who aims to understand why viruses are becoming more dangerous must investigate the industrial model of agriculture and, more specifically, livestock production. At present, few governments, and few scientists, are prepared to do so. Quite the contrary.
  6. Coronavirus vs. the Mass Surveillance State: Which Poses the Greater Threat?
    Resource Type: Article
    Published: 2020
    Emboldened by the citizenry's inattention and willingness to tolerate its abuses, the government has weaponized one national crisis after another in order to expands its powers. The war on terror, the war on drugs, the war on illegal immigration, asset forfeiture schemes, road safety schemes, school safety schemes, eminent domain: all of these programs started out as legitimate responses to pressing concerns and have since become weapons of compliance and control in the police state's hands.

    Published: 2020
    As infectious disease epidemiologists and public health scientists we have grave concerns about the damaging physical and mental health impacts of the prevailing COVID-19 policies, and recommend an approach we call Focused Protection.
  10. The Great Barrington Declaration - Frequently Asked Questios
    Resource Type: Article
    Published: 2020
    Basic epidemiological theory indicates that lockdowns do not reduce the total number of cases in the long run and have never in history led to the eradication of a disease. At best, lockdowns delay the increase of cases for a finite period and at great cost.

  12. How the organized Left got Covid wrong, learned to love lockdowns and lost its mind
    An autopsy

    Resource Type: Article
    Published: 2022
    For two years the left has championed policies of surveillance and exclusion in the form of: punitive vaccine mandates, invasive vaccine passports, socially destructive lockdowns, and radically unaccountable censorship by large media and technology corporations. For the entire pandemic, leftists and liberals - call them the Lockdown Left - cheered on unprecedented levels of repression aimed primarily at the working class: those who could not afford private schools and could not comfortably telecommute from second homes.
  13. Lockdowns, curfews. Troops on the streets. Governments handing out free cash. This utter madness was entirely avoidable
    Resource Type: Article
    Published: 2020

  14. The Only Treatment for Coronavirus Is Solidarity
    Resource Type: Article
    Published: 2020
    We live in an interwoven, interconnected world where an injury to one is truly an injury to all. We must confront the coronavirus with solidarity and fight for a society where the health of all is more important than profits for a few.
  15. Reading About Coronavirus Without Scaring Yourself Too Much (or Too Little)
    Resource Type: Article
    Published: 2020
    Unfortunately, because this is the corporate-controlled, understaffed, underexperienced news media we’re talking about, much of that coverage has been incomplete, misleading or sometimes just plain wrong.
  16. The smear campaign against the Great Barrington Declaration
    Resource Type: Article

  17. Some musings about risk
    Resource Type: Article
    Published: 2020
    When it comes to COVID, my gut reaction is that everyone who is taking fewer precautions than me is reckless, and everyone who is taking more precautions than me is overly timid.

    Resource Type: Article
    Published: 2021
    Imperial cynics and propagandists can only see the world through the lens of cynicism and propaganda, which they project on to others.
  19. Sweden: Apocalypse Not
    Resource Type: Article
    Published: 2021
    From the moment Covid-19 was declared a pandemic in March 2020, Western public-health agencies presented their publics with a single option: total lockdown of their societies. This was an improvised and untested option with many risks. After more than a year, it is clear that lockdowns did not “flatten the curve” as advertised, or even likely slow the spread, as promised. Societies which avoided this shutdown approach did just as well and even better. Since there were a limited number of states which rejected total lockdowns, the experiences of dissident Sweden and, to some extent, lighter-lockdown Japan had to act as the placebos in this grand medical experiment.
  20. Thinking Clearly in a Time of Crisis
    Resource Type: Article
    Published: 2020
    A crisis like this pandemic is not a time to stop thinking. It is a time when critical thinking and public discussion are more important than ever. A small number of officials and politicians are taking decisions with enormous and far-reaching implications for the lives of many people, not just for the duration of this pandemic, but far into the future. The time to have serious discussions about what they are doing, and the direction we are heading in, is now, not some day in the future when it will be difficult, or too late, to change course.

  22. Was there a Wuhan lab leak?
    An inquiry won’t dig out the truth. It will deepen the deception

    Resource Type: Article
    Published: 2021
    For many years, scientists at labs like Wuhan’s have conducted Frankenstein-type experiments on viruses. They have modified naturally occurring infective agents – often found in animals such as bats – to try to predict the worst-case scenarios for how viruses, especially coronaviruses, might evolve. The claimed purpose has been to ensure humankind gets a head start on any new pandemic, preparing strategies and vaccines in advance to cope.
  23. World-Class Scientist Calls Out Medical Journal For Smearing Lockdown Critics Instead Of Proving Them Wrong
    Resource Type: Article
    Published: 2021
    A respected vaccine safety researchers says that scientific institutions are killing their own legitimacy by enabling and perpetrating lies, distortions, smears, and unwarranted hysteria about COVID-19. "Open and honest discourse is critical for science and public health. As scientists, we must now tragically acknowledge that 400 years of scientific enlightenment may be coming to an end," writes Dr. Martin Kulldorff, a professor of medicine at Harvard University and coauthor of the Great Barrington Declaration.
