Cancel culture is the enemy of free speech. One would think that liberals who lived through the red-baiting of the McCarthy era in the 1950s — the apogee of cancel culture — would know better. But according to Dan Kovalik, our guest on this week’s WhoWhatWhy podcast, they are some of the worst offenders.

Si la pandémie actuelle de Covid-19 trouve son origine à Wuhan, fin novembre-début décembre 2019, on ne connait pas le patient-zéro de l’épidémie, ni même son origine – même si c’est très probablement en Chine, du fait de la très grande proximité du SRAS-cov-2 avec des coronavirus de chauves-souris.

Nous vous proposons aujourd’hui une sélection de quelques articles indiquant les suspicions de présence du virus bien loin de Chine, bien avant le début de la pandémie à Wuhan.

Yesterday, Pfizer released a strong earnings report (surpassing Wall Street’s elevated projections), and also revealed that it’s both on the cusp of securing regulatory approval in the US for minors between the ages of 12 and 15 to receive the vaccine (setting off another wave of demand as the Biden Administration heaps pressure on states to get their vaccination numbers up).

During a call with analysts and reporters, CEO Albert Bourla revealed that Pfizer is in talks with “basically all the governments of the world” about providing shots and booster shots through 2024.

A little over a week ago, we reported on one of the biggest deflationary threats looming over the global economy: that is, China’s shrinking population, as deaths outpace births for the first time, a trend that demographers believe will only worsen as the impact of China’s one-child policy is felt on its population numbers.

President Biden is coming under fire from both sides of the aisle for constantly wearing a mask despite announcing that vaccinated people no longer require face coverings when outdoors. In other words, it’s simply virtue signaling at this point.

As The Hill notes, days later after announcing the loosened guidelines from the CDC, “Biden was spotted with a mask while walking outside to Marine One with first lady Jill Biden, even though both have been vaccinated and no others were around.”

Many hospital systems around the country have been surprised by the number of nurses who have passed on being vaccinated (either because they had already been infected, or simply because they didn’t want the vaccine).

Senator Mitt Romney was raucously booed this week at the Utah Republican Party’s organizing convention, where he was trying to stumble his way through a speech about the state of Joe Biden’s first 100 days in office.

Video of his speech hit the internet on Saturday and showed a crowd of more than 2,100 Republican delegates booing him at the Maverick Center, the Salt Lake Tribune wrote. The jeers started almost instantly upon Romney’s chance to speak.
