Problems with testing and contact tracing
I’ve been engaging with a discussion with Tim Colbourn on testing and contact tracing. I plan to write an article on this when I find time. This is a placeholder post – will update with background info while I formulate my write-up. Thanks. Have had a quick skim through the Harvard report – which is […]
What about remdesivir?
A placeholder post. There are two views, but at the moment I’m not sure whether this cures or is merely a palliative (which can be helpful, of course, but is not a game changer). Making scientific announcements only by press release is not a good idea. Esp when reports in Lancet re study in China […]
Planets of the Humans – where gullible Greenies discover they’ve been taken for a ride by “green” criminals
A placeholder post. I plan to extract and publicise sections of Michael Moore’s documentary which is good in parts but overall a disaster – given its ultra-Nazi/Malthusian stance. I've only seen a few snippets from the Moore documentary yet but fully support Zubrin's opposition to its central anti-population message. Moore is no Julian Simon. He […]

Johannes Bronckhorst’s studies of ancient Vedic religion and Buddhism
This indologist seems to have arrived at very similar views to that of Sanjay Sonawani. e.g. Brahmanism: Its place in ancient Indian society – Johannes Bronkhorst (PDF and RTF). His other works include:Greater Magadha (2007; Indian reprint 2013), Buddhism in the Shadow of Brahmanism (2011; Indian reprint in preparation) and How the Brahmins […]

What proportion of a population has to be infected to achieve herd immunity for COVID-19?
People have been arguing about this figure. I have been assuming a 60% figure, but some people disagree. I’ve used Skynews – see this video. Also this Indian expert says it is 60% (see this video). Here’s stuff I’ve received via email – very valuable info. It depends on the R0. You can calculate it […]
