A Contagion of Hatred and Hysteria

November 3, 2020/in Culture Wars, Healthcare, Life Advocacy, News, Politics /by Dr. Sunetra Gupta

Lockdown is a blunt, indiscriminate policy that forces the poorest and most vulnerable people to bear the brunt of the fight against coronavirus. As an infectious diseases epidemiologist, I believe there has to be a better way. That is why, earlier this month, with two other international scientists, I co-authored a proposal for an alternative approach — […]

The “Myth” of Pre-Existing Conditions

October 23, 2020/in Economy, Healthcare, Liberty, Life Advocacy, News, Politics /by John R. Ammon, MD

If you have a history of hypertension, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, breast or prostate cancer, lumbar stenosis, treated grand-mal seizures or any of tens of thousands of conditions in the spectrum of human disease, you have a pre-existing condition. As a member of the human race, you either have or will eventually have one or multiple […]

CNN Butchers the Facts on Late-Term Abortions

October 13, 2020/in Culture Wars, Healthcare, Life Advocacy, News, Politics /by James D. Agresti

This article was originally published by JustFactsDaily on October 12, 2020 In a so-called “fact check” of the vice-presidential debate between Mike Pence and Kamala Harris, CNN reporter Caroline Kelly presents a barrage of disinformation that hides the realities of late-term abortion and the agenda of the Biden–Harris campaign.

Prop 207: Written by the Marijuana Industry, for the Marijuana Industry

Prop 207 doesn’t simply decriminalize marijuana. That could have been done in a page or two. Marijuana sellers, instead, wrote 17-pages of changes to Arizona law, creating a lucrative recreational marijuana industry for themselves, at the cost of Arizonans. The sweeping changes in Prop 207 would impact current laws governing driving impairment, workplace safety, as well […]

Save Yourself: Stop Believing in Lockdown

August 23, 2020/in Economy, Healthcare, Liberty /by Stacey Rudin

Storied minds have argued that a failure to critically examine our beliefs makes us culpable for adverse outcomes. Beliefs lead to actions, which impact other people. As Voltaire wrote during the Enlightenment — when society still had time away from the screen to reflect on philosophy, morality, and fundamental truth — “those who can make […]

More Evidence That Shutdowns Are Useless

August 19, 2020/in Economy, Healthcare /by John Hindraker

Governments around the world have responded to COVID-19 with more or less harsh (but, of course, never complete) shutdowns of economic and social activity. The costs of these shutdowns have been enormous, obvious and undeniable, while the alleged benefits have been hypothetical and speculative. As experience with the virus accumulates, there is, I think, a […]

We Need a Principled Anti-Lockdown Movement

August 9, 2020/in Economy, Healthcare, Liberty /by Jeffrey Tucker

Shell-shocked is a good way to describe the mood in the U.S. for a good part of the Spring of 2020. Most of us never thought it could happen here. I certainly did not, even though I’ve been writing about pandemic lockdown plans for 15 years. I knew the plans were on the shelf, which […]
