    Medical errors and the cult of expertise in the age of Covid

    January 5, 2021

    Ever since the Covid panic began in February of this year, medical personnel such as doctors and nurses have been treated to a level of hero worship generally reserved for the government's soldiers and cops. We were told they were heroically slaving away to treat Covid victims. And although many of these nurses were apparently spending their time choreographing TikTok videos and…

    Antibiotics in cold and flu season: Potentially harmful and seldom helpful

    November 17, 2020

    Antibiotics are over-prescribed in Canada and worldwide, often for infections that do not need their help, particularly respiratory conditions. While these unnecessary prescriptions may contribute to the development of resistant bacteria, there is another reason to be cautious about antibiotics: Direct harms caused by these drugs.

    When it comes to masks, there is no “settled science”

    July 28, 2020

    As the “fifteen days to slow the spread” continues to extend indefinitely, the issue of mask mandates has become increasingly contentious. The debate has been exacerbated by the inconsistency of the recommendations of authorities (political, scientific, and imaginary).

    The false-positive panic over Covid-19

    July 16, 2020

    Imagine an articulate chief lemming bragging that not only had his followers jumped off a cliff, but that they had done so in far greater numbers than any other slice of the rodents.

These politicians have instead imposed a new form of central planning based on an unproven, theoretical set of ideas about…

    State lockdowns are creating a mental health disaster

    May 16, 2020

    Although state lockdowns have served governors well as a heavy-handed show of force, the policies are a patent neglect of the many nuances inherent in human action. They have led to a host of unintended consequences, including the emergence of a new health crisis—a dangerously sharp rise in mental illness. Though states are gradually wading out of lockdown, the damage…

    What does the environment have to do with autism?

    September 21, 2017

    The search for autism’s causes is a daunting task — but researchers are investigating a variety of factors that might play a role. Written by Liza Gross Republished with permission from Ensia.com. If you look just at the numbers, you might think autism rates are spiraling out of control.
