COVID-19: Numbers That Really Matter

Among the dishonest games that the media have played with coronavirus is their habit of reporting cumulative totals of reported cases and deaths as if this is the only metric of the pandemic. Anyone with a functional brain, however, must realize that this is misleading and nearly useless in terms of understanding how the outbreak […]

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 […]

A Curse Be Upon Them: NY Times Blames America’s Christianity for #Coronavirus

Three years ago, while researching treatment options for her sons, Rizzo says she made an extraordinary discovery: The boys are part […]

‘Brain-Eating Amoeba’

Something else for hypochondriacs to worry about: A North Carolina man has died after contracting an illness caused by a “brain-eating amoeba,” public health officials said. Laboratory testing confirmed the man, identified by local media as Eddie Gray, was sickened by Naegleria fowleri after swimming at Fantasy Lake Water Park in Cumberland County earlier this […]

Fertility Clinic Funhouse

  People who trust science to solve their fertility problems put their faith in the expertise of medical professionals. What could possibly go wrong? Lots, it turns out.
