Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Andrew Cuomo: The Media’s Favorite Scientific Geniuses

  Watching MSNBC today (so you don’t have to) and it’s amazing how laser-focused they are on the blame-Trump narrative of COVID-19. The MSNBC viewer is given the impression, for example, that Joe Biden was presciently warning about this Chinese disease in January, when what is being quoted is not what Biden himself said, but […]

Good News: More Evidence COVID-19 Is Less Lethal Than Most People Believe

For some time now, it has been apparent that a large percentage of people infected with COVID-19 are either asymptomatic or have such mild symptoms that they have never been tested for the virus. From an epidemiological perspective, this is a double-edged sword. If you’re infected but asymptomatic, you can spread the disease without knowing […]

A ‘Granular’ Re-Opening Plan

  During the past couple of weeks of daily briefings, Dr. Deborah Birx has popularized the word “granular” to describe how the COVID-19 task force is tracking the spread of the disease. While the news media remain focused on the Big Numbers — the cumulative total of cases and the death toll — those whose […]

Against ‘Experts’ and the ‘Elite’: Because All of Us Know More Than Any of Us

Here’s a secret that isn’t really a secret: I am opinionated. I know what you’re saying: “Where is Sarah Hoyt’s shocked face?” The reason I’m opinionated is because I know a lot of stuff. From the time I was 7 years old, my hobby was reading The World Book Encyclopedia, and I’d more or less […]

COVID-19: The Insanity Pandemic

  Long before anyone heard of the Wuhan coronavirus, America was already gripped by a pandemic of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). Our news media were particularly hard-hit by that illness, and unless you were immune to TDS, it was not safe to expose yourself to CNN or MSNBC. An irrational desire to blame Trump for […]

COVID-19: The Democrat Disease

  Part of the developing liberal media narrative about COVID-19 pandemic is that black people are disproportionately impacted by the disease. The usual explanation for this is that black people have more “underlying conditions” — heart disease, Type II diabetes, etc. — that so often make the difference between having a mild case of coronavirus […]

Jan. 30: ‘We Still Believe the Immediate Risk to the American Public Is Low’

CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield. The first five known cases of COVID-19 in the United States were all patients who had recently traveled to Wuhan, China. Case No. 1 was in Snohomish County, Washington. Case No. 2 was in Chicago. Cases No. 3 and 4 were in Orange County, California, and Case No. 5 was […]

Oregon’s Pointless COVID-19 Lockdown

  Wednesday, Oregon’s Democratic Gov. Kate Brown announced that the state’s public schools would not re-open this school year, and also extended “indefinitely” an order closing restaurants and bars. That order, issued last month, had been scheduled to end April 15. A simple question: Why? Oregon’s schools must be doing a lousy job of teaching […]
