The Lancet has become a laughing stock Norman Fenton and Martin Neil In summary: On 6 May 2021 The Lancet published a  blatantly flawed study of the effectiveness of the Pfizer covid vaccine  on the population of Israel, claiming it was 95% effective. On 17 May 2021 we  submitted a rapid response 250 word letter explaining why the study was flawed . After an initial response saying they would ask the authors for a response to our letter we  heard nothing until 20 months later .

Christmas, 2022 was much better. Our adult kids were great with Mom and she was delighted to share time with us. That day and evening are now part of a series of happy...

House Resolution Would Rename Washington DC Monuments After Zelensky Kevin Barrett Dissociated Press A South Carolina Republican Congressman is introducing a resolution that would, if passed, force the US National Parks Service to replace Washington, DC monuments and memorials with tributes to Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky. The resolution was introduced by Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., on Monday and would direct the Park Service to replace the Lincoln Memorial and the Jefferson Memorial with Zelensky Memorials. In both cases, sculptors would be hired to chip away at the stone faces of Lincoln and Jefferson until what was left bore at least a passing resemblance to Zelensky. The former Lincoln Memorial, now a Zelensky Memorial, as envisioned by the US National Parks Service Monuments and Memorials Commission   The former Jefferson Memorial, now another Zelensky Memorial, as envisioned by the US National Parks Service Monuments and Memorials Commission The resolution would also d...
