When media lie

An Egyptian man takes a hostage at knife­point in the Milan cathe­dral, threat­en­ing to slit his victim’s throat. A once rep­utable Italian paper tells its read­ers that police “con­vinced him to lay down his weapon and release the hostage”, when in fact, for every­one to see on video, police had to force­ful­ly over­whelm him. The full and unredact­ed video, in turn, explodes on social media.

Not just “Black lives matter”? “Climate change” scare a scam, too, long-time alarmist says while offering his apologies

After it has come to light that “Black Lives Matter” is a marx­ist – and bla­tant­ly racist – orga­ni­za­tion that could not care less about equal oppor­tu­ni­ty but that, accord­ing to ral­ly signs exhib­it­ed by “activists”, sim­ply wants to “kill” or “eat the rich”, now the cli­mate change scare appears to be crum­bling to pieces as well: It appears we now have the Edward Snowden of cli­mate change alarmism.

Some additional comments on the design of the study conducted by the University of Kentucky

While we are cur­rent­ly work­ing on oth­er urgent mat­ters and have hard­ly any time to fol­low up on the the throat dis­in­fec­tion com­plex, let us – very briefly – make the fol­low­ing addi­tion­al com­ments with regard to the study under­way in Kentucky. If noth­ing else, they may serve as a men­tal check to the study inves­ti­ga­tors (who we will make aware of them, of course).

International researchers pick up loico’s idea of throat disinfection to counter COVID-19

A group of researchers from the UK (Cardiff and Cambridge), the US (Denver, Colorado), Spain (Barcelona), and Canada (Ottawa) has now picked up the idea we have put for­ward almost exact­ly two months ago for pre­ven­tive throat dis­in­fec­tion with viru­ci­dal agents that are known to be effec­tive against coro­n­avirus­es and safe to use in the throat. The WHO should now even more seri­ous­ly con­sid­er includ­ing it in its rec­om­men­da­tions.
