Asystemic ‘Great Dispossession’ is being beta-tested in India. It is a playbook for the end of food sovereignty, driven by the debris of the Bretton Woods system and the insatiable need for ‘market confidence’. India—the World Bank’s largest-ever borrower—is being forced to swap its indigenous agrarian economy for a model […]
Alarge outbreak of hysteria occurred in the media over the past week, regarding a small Nipah virus outbreak in eastern India. ‘Hysteria’ is the correct word in terms of proportionality. It is not, unfortunately, the right word in terms of intent. Ten years ago this episode of Nipah virus disease would barely have rated a mention […]

Some people wonder why I look at the New York Times. It’s because I want to see what narratives the “newspaper of record” is pushing. I read an article about ten years ago by an ex-NYT editor, who said that at the beginning of the year, the editors were given a list […]
At a recent Brownstone Institute event, I spoke on a panel about the importance of judging public health interventions by their real-world impact — by whether they genuinely help people live longer and healthier lives. I had just written about mammography screening, and how decades of research show that while it detects […]
There are two possible ways history will treat the Covid era. The establishment preference is for a story of a killer pathogen that leapt from the animal kingdom into humans to create a deadly pandemic that was fixed by an innovative vaccine. This is the preferred line in shrunken form, […]
Nine new members have joined the Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee, which provides “advice and recommendations” on autism to U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. John Gilmore, executive director of the Autism Action Network, said he and the other new members “are picking up the pieces following a generation of […]
This article was originally published by Rhoda Wilson at The Exposé. A research paper published earlier this month states that one of the researchers’ aims is to develop a vaccine to overcome vaccine hesitancy. The method chosen to spread the vaccine among the population is a self-replicating RNA (srRNA) or self-amplifying mRNA (saRNA […]
After witnessing, and continuing to witness, the reaction to emerging information about the early cancer signal related to Covid-19 vaccination or infection, I recalled the historical timelines of other early cancer signals. What became immediately clear is that this moment is not unique. For more than a century, society has […]
Story at-a-glance Colorectal cancer was once primarily a disease of older adults, but that pattern has been shifting in recent decades. Rates of early-onset colorectal cancer, meaning cases diagnosed before age 50, have been climbing steadily worldwide, with the steepest increases reported in high-income countries.1 In the United States, the […]
