If there was ever anything like a winter wave in the US -- remember when they were trying to sell you on a "triple-demic"? -- it's over. Cases are declining in 31 states, and test-positivity ratios (probably a better indicator at this point) are declining in 45.

In "Recommended Reading," China reports its first-ever population decline and (for China) slow economic growth. Round up the usual suspects. Blame Covid. It couldn't possibly be those authoritarian policies, could it?

In "Recommended Reading," the story of the Ohio measles outbreak that is being blamed on poor childhood vaccination rates. It's more evidence that the saddest part of the whole sorry Covid vaccine affair -- with all its government secrecy and coercion -- is the loss in public confidence in even the least controversial traditional vaccines.

In "Recommended Reading," a fascinating lawsuit has been filed by Robert Kennedy, Jr., suing the Washington Post and other media outlets on antitrust grounds for coordinating with each other in the suppression of unconventional views about Covid (and politics). This is a novel approach, and it might just have legs.

In "Recommended Reading," an hilarious sequence of headlines as the mainstream media begins to gently conceded the point that the Covid vaccines have not been quite as perfect as they claimed all along. Bloomberg headline: "Pfizer Bivalent Vaccine Linked to Strokes in Preliminary Data." CNN's version: "...people should still get boosted." And then this from Bloomberg: "The US Keeps Offering China Its Covid Vaccines. China Keeps Saying No."

In "Recommended Reading," a meditation on what it might take to get workers back to the office. One speculation is that a coming recession will restore leverage for employers, who can order their employees off their couches at home. But what if there's no recession?

In "Recommended Reading," an amazing story made all the more amazing because of its source. CNN is reporting that vaccine advisors to the US government are "angry" that Moderna withheld infection data from trials when its booster was up for approval. It's shady as hell that Moderna would withhold it -- and shadier still that the government approved the shots (and paid $5 billion for them) without the data.

In "Recommended Reading," more press panic about off-the-charts numbers of new Covid cases in China. Unfortunately, the Chinese CDC stopped publishing case and fatality data two days ago (as we predicted, by the way).

In "Recommended Reading," our friend Alex Berenson unloads his first findings from the Twitter Files. He's got drop-dead proof that Pfizer director Scott Gottlieb was working behind the scenes with Twitter to deplatform people who supported vaccinations, but just didn't believe they were necessary for everyone. All ideological impurity must be stamped out (especially when Pfizer pays you $365,000 a year).

Must reading in "Recommended Reading" -- a lengthy evidence-based account of censorship of dissenting views about Covid vaccines and other policies, forced on a compliant Facebook by a bullying Biden administration, even when everyone involved admitted that the censored material was factual. This is no mere speculation. This is evidence from documents discovered in a lawsuit brought by Stanford scientist Jay Bhattacharya and Harvard scientist Martin Kulldorff and other victims of censorship. It's on the op-ed page of the Wall Street Journal this morning. So unfortunate that this reporting has to be framed as opinion. Let's be honest -- if the same acts had been carried out by the Trump administration, it would get the front page of the New York Times every day for a week.
