By the Editor’s of the New England Journal of Medicine Covid-19 has created a crisis throughout the world. This crisis has produced a test of leadership. With no good options to combat a novel pathogen, countries were forced to make hard choices about how to respond. Here in the United States, our leaders have failed that test. They have taken a crisis and turned it into a tragedy. The magnitude of this failure is astonishing. According to the Johns Hopkins Center for Systems Science and Engineering,1 the United States leads the world in Covid-19 cases and in deaths due to the disease, […]

A scathing editorial in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) claims the COVID-19 novel coronavirus pandemic has tested the current US administration and that “our leaders have failed that test.” “Why has the United States handled this pandemic so badly?” asks the editorial, signed by 35 editors, 34 of whom are American citizens, according to the New York Times. “We have failed at almost every step. We had ample warning, but when the disease first arrived, we were incapable of testing effectively and couldn’t provide even the most basic personal protective equipment to health care workers and the general […]
Without naming names, editors of the longest-running US medical journal have outright adopted the platform of Democratic candidate Joe Biden, urging Americans to vote out their “political leaders” over their Covid-19 response. Titled ‘Dying in a Leadership Vacuum,’ the editorial – dated October 8 but made public Wednesday – says the US leadership “failed” the Covid-19 test, turning a crisis into a tragedy. While it does not mention the names “Trump” or “Biden” once, its political implications are crystal clear. When it comes to the response to the largest public health crisis of our time, our current political leaders have demonstrated […]

So who blew up Beirut? The chances of 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) accidentally blowing up in Beirut at this particular time do not seem to me to be high. The MSM love coincidences. Intelligence analysts do not. With every respect to those of my colleagues taking a different view I’m not thinking nuclear, nor the Israelis. Ammonium nitrate is a fertilizer. It’s not actually an explosive, which is why readers in Georgia are unlikely to hear conversations along the lines of ‘Hot diggety, I see Billy Bob got blown up by his fertiliser last night’ ’Dang, that just keeps […]

By Supratim Barman for VT India It came like a Force of Nature; a Super Cyclone with an eye 30 kilometers wide and bearing winds that peaked at 230 kms per hour and constituted the 2nd strongest ever storm to emerge from the Bay of Bengal. The sustained energy carved its way through North Eastern Kolkata for nearly 8 hours and it felt like the city had been hit by the shockwaves of a nuclear explosion that mimicked by an order of magnitude a thousand times greater than the equivalent destructive force of water that rolls over Niagara Falls.Amphan, which means […]
The Lancet, one of the top medical journals in the world, has retracted a study questioning the safety of treating Covid-19 with anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine, following controversy surrounding the research firm behind it. The retraction officially came at the request of the study’s authors, who admitted on Thursday they could “no longer vouch for the veracity of the primary data sources.” “We deeply apologize to you, the editors and the journal readership for any embarrassment or inconvenience that this may have caused,” the authors added. The data used in the study appeared to show that chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine caused higher death rates […]
