    An actor on Amazon Prime Video's "Reacher" said that he was recently fired from a role because he is not vaccinated for COVID-19. Matthew Marsden, 49, has appeared in five episodes of the Amazon Prime original series as Stan Reacher, the father of the show's titular character, Jack Reacher. Marsden has also appeared in 1 episode stints on several other television shows including NCIS, Ghost Whisperer, Two and a Half Men, and Castle, among others. Marsden has been vocal about his skepticism of the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines on his Twitter account. On Thursday, Marsden tweeted that he "lost a...

    It is spoken across our land in constant refrain, "We are just following the science." Unfortunately, there has been only selective reporting of the science related to COVID-19 that has led to unnecessary fear and hysteria. Major media outlets seem to pick the science that supports a narrative and ignores completely other important scientific findings. Some government health authorities seem to pick the science that supports their policies for masks, lockdowns, treatments, and testing and ignore other science that would lead to less onerous and destructive policies restricting our personal freedoms. Having a rational discussion of ALL the science would...

    One of the most important lessons of the past nine months is that epidemiological models are predicated on assumptions and that statistical data can be manipulated to conform to a variety of desired outcomes. They are therefore an alluring target for political exploitation. It was therefore noteworthy when a November 22 study published by Johns Hopkins University was subsequently deleted by the university because an official stated that it "was being used to support false and dangerous inaccuracies about the impact of the pandemic." The study, titled "A closer look at U.S. deaths due to COVID-19," was conducted by Dr....
  • What will a COVID-19 vaccine look like? Don’t expect a cure-all, scientists say; "We cannot promise 100% chance of success," a government official said.

    Since the onset of the coronavirus outbreak, a vaccine has been widely regarded as the best path toward reopening society and returning to normalcy. Scientists have worked around-the-clock to develop a vaccine even entering late-stage human studies at record speed for the disease that has killed more than 430,000 people worldwide. Yet, despite these Herculean efforts, scientists say a one-time cure-all is unlikely. Data on close cousins of the COVID-19 virus, including seasonal coronaviruses that cause the common cold, suggests the COVID-19 vaccine probably won't offer lifelong protection -- although more research is needed to understand how well and for...
