Earlier this week I wrote about foot-dragging by the Food and Drug Administration regarding approval of two highly effective antiviral pills. With the omicron variant of COVID-19 rapidly spreading throughout the population, infecting both vaccinated and unvaccinated, these pills become even more important. Merck applied to the FDA for Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) of its antiviral […]

In a world where everyone seems concerned about “safety”, and the government is issuing draconian edicts in a failing effort to stop the spread of a virus, it seems like a reasonable question to ask. Recent data suggests drug overdose is the main cause of death of people in their middle years of life. This […]

The city of Phoenix will offer bonuses up to $2,000 to vaccinated city employees, costing the city between $25 million to $29 million. The Phoenix City Council voted, 6-3, this week to approve the bonuses, which will go out to full and part-time employees by Jan. 18. City employees who do not have the option […]
Editors’ Note: We are not a scientific journal or institute so we don’t pretend expertise to comment on “science.” However, we certainly can comment on public policy and think we have some common sense. The obvious facts show that the Coronavirus and its variants are spreading, despite the emphasis placed by officials on preventative vaccines. […]

From October 2-4, 2020, the American Institute for Economic Research hosted a small conference for scientists to discuss the Covid-19 lockdowns. Just four days later, Dr. Francis Collins, the retiring Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), would call the three of the scientists in attendance “fringe epidemiologists,” in a directive he sent to […]

Covid, Covid, Covid. Variant, variant, variant. Trust me, I’m the government’s highest paid employee, and “I represent science.” Show your papers, wear a mask, take a shot or lose your job. And the beat goes on for an infection where 99.95 percent of infected persons under age 70 years recover. It’s becoming clear that Covid-19 […]

The following is adapted from a speech delivered at a Hillsdale College reception in Overland Park, Kansas, on November 18, 2021. Here are two questions pertinent to our times: (1) How would you reduce the greatest free republic in history to despotism in a short time? and (2) How would you stop that from […]

As we stagger toward the endgame of the Covid-19 pandemic, several “bigger picture” lessons come to mind thinking ahead to the next pandemic. First, the most draconian policy responses resulted from the failure of the state and national governments to prepare for a pandemic that had been predicted for decades prior to 2020. Secondly, the extraordinary power […]

Many people on the political Left don’t seem to understand the deep skepticism with which many Conservatives view government health policy. They believe Conservatives are anti-science. In the last few days, we have been provided a very good example of what is wrong with government policy and it is worthwhile reviewing while many of these details […]

The rejection of a “compelling state interest” test will remove abortion from national politics. A simple Baltimore lawyer here tenders a short opinion to dispose of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the abortion case from Mississippi in oral arguments before the Supreme Court today. This case presents the question: “Whether all pre-viability prohibitions on […]
