Sir James Munby, former head of the Family Division of the High Court, has given his opinion on the supposedly improved Assisted Suicide Bill. His view: "it still falls lamentably short of providing adequate safeguards". transparencyproject.org.uk/assisted-dyi...

Either everyone who gets COVID ends up in hospital, or everyone in hospital is at risk of becoming infected with COVID, or there are serious weaknesses in the surveillance of COVID (in hospitals and not in hospitals), or all of the above, or none of the above? 🤦If only it was that simple!

Scientists of the world, this is happening on our watch and we need to face it down. Evidence-based medicine weaponised for overtly ideological purposes. We do not need randomised trials of 'vaccine' versus 'no vaccine' when those vaccines have *already* been shown to be safe & effective. #episky 🧪

February marks the 10th anniversary of the Supreme Court of Canada's decision to legalise euthanasia. We were promised there would be no slippery slopes. A decade on, there was no slippery slope; it was a cliff. Me for @nationalpost.bsky.social. nationalpost.com/opinion/yuan...

Trying to plug a catastrophic loss of support for their Assisted Dying Bill, lobbyists have published a letter signed by 53 MPs backing the latest change to the Bill, removing the judicial safeguards that they'd previously said were critical. But the letter reveals more weakness than strength 🧵

Humanists UK loudly backed the assisted suicide Bill because it had 'the best judicial oversight anywhere in the world'. When those same safeguards had to be humiliatingly dropped, they laughably come back saying 'no worries, everything's under control'. The Bill is a car crash and needs to go.

Without a passionate collective defence of vaccination against the billionaire misinformation campaigns, keeping infectious diseases like measles under control will become impossible. It's time to make vaccine denial and misinformation a criminal offence and stop these liars in their tracks.
