A Blueprint for NIH Reform
Both scientists and the public are frustrated with the scientific enterprise. Change is needed, and this Perspective presents a blueprint for NIH reforms with the dual goal of ensuring scientific integrity and innovation.
New Covid Wave Scare Campaign: A Massive Flop
Sticking with tradition, health authorities, experts, and media are playing the ‘cases, cases, cases’ angle, as the latest variant “sweeps the nation” with what I calculate to be Australia’s twelfth Covid wave since the pandemic scare series kicked off.

Vindication for the Unvaccinated?
No matter how much information about the abuses of powerful forces during the pandemic, no matter how much is learned about the deviant behavior of leadership and government agencies, the unvaccinated have yet to be vindicated.
Did Covid Vaccines Really Save Millions?
Our research team undertook a structured, step-by-step evaluation of the empirical foundations of the “millions saved” narrative. We critically examined the hypothetical statistical models that produced this extraordinary figure, as well as multiple randomized controlled trials and large-scale observational studies.
Former Vaccine Committee Did Not Follow the Rules
There is no question that vaccine policy should be informed by experienced scientists. But there must be a line between advising on science and voting on the commercial fate of the very products tied to one’s funding.

Why Have Any Covid-19 Vaccines, 2025?
In February 2025, President Trump signed an Executive Order prohibiting federal funding for educational institutions that mandate Covid-19 vaccines for in-person attendance. Medical schools reliant on federal funds may reconsider these pointless mandates, paeans to outdated orthodoxy.

Negative-Sum Game Run Amok
I traveled to Connecticut to participate in a four-day writers’ retreat hosted by Jeffrey Tucker and the Brownstone Institute. It was amazing. Speakers presented on a topic or question for 15 minutes that was followed by a discussion for 15 minutes. Below are my remarks from the retreat.
End the EUA
It’s long past time to deal with the core problem that persists from the Covid era: the remaining EUA and the PREP Act. These must be revoked if we are to finally put an end to our long nightmare.
When Ideas Become Too Dangerous to Platform
TED became a gatekeeper of permissible opinion, enforcing orthodoxy behind the smokescreen of “community guidelines.” For a platform that once prided itself on promoting bold thinking, TED’s censorship of Foster’s talk is a moment of institutional retreat—and intellectual cowardice.

Covid-19 Vaccine Reform Is Moving Slower Than Many Had Hoped
