“Woke” Bioethics Tyranny

Brownstone Institute ·

2025/08/05

“Woke” Bioethics Tyranny by Robert Malone at Brownstone Institute Sometimes it is necessary to push a moral philosophy to the extreme before its flaws become clear to all. And then once that happens, it gets much easier to recognize and reject less extreme examples that grow from the same root. At other times, true believers in a flawed moral philosophy will voluntarily advocate for an extreme example without being pushed, and in doing so, inadvertently reveal the absurdity of their

When “Dead Enough” Becomes a Metric by Josh Stylman at Brownstone Institute The heart monitor flatlines. The family weeps. The doctors wait exactly 75 seconds—then restart the procedure. In the world of organ transplants, "dead enough" has become a moving target. The New York Times just reported something most people aren't ready to hear: in the rush to expand organ transplants, procurement teams have sometimes started too early. Not after death—before it was fully

Are We Over-Medicalising Menopause? by Maryanne Demasi at Brownstone Institute On July 15, the FDA convened a two-hour expert panel to review its longstanding guidance on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for menopause. At first glance, it appeared to be a genuine opportunity to revisit the legacy of the landmark Women’s Health Initiative (WHI), engage with clinical experts, and improve public messaging around hormone treatment. But beneath the surface, the event raised uncomfortable

An Evidence-Driven Critique of the Allegedly Reassuring Study on Aluminum-Adjuvanted Vaccines by Yaakov Ophir at Brownstone Institute Yesterday, U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. published a sharp and comprehensive critique of the recent study by Andersson et al., which was published in the Annals of Internal Medicine. The study made headlines for claiming that aluminum-adjuvanted vaccines administered in early childhood are not associated with increased risks of

Origins of Medical Harm by David Marks at Brownstone Institute Thelevel of compensation doctors receive from Medicareis currently under renewed scrutiny; these standards are mirrored by health insurers. The quantity of reimbursement weighted to specialists is likely to shift towards primary care physicians. Reconfiguration of doctors’ fees is overdue, although they aredetermined by a secretive American Medical Association committee. Analysis and debate about the ongoing healthcare crisis

Covid Lockdowns Devastated an Entire Generation of Childrenby Ian Miller at Brownstone Institute In what we now understand were completely theatrical attempts to control the Covid-19 pandemic, experts demanded and politicians mandated all sorts of intrusive policies.Mask mandateswere one of the most obvious. School closures. Lockdowns. Curfews. Capacity limits. Fear campaigns. The list is and was endless. And unfortunately the public willingly complied with all of them. On and on they went, for

Tuberculosis: Romance and Vampires by Steve Templeton at Brownstone Institute The wasting disease known as tuberculosis, or TB, is as old as human history. Caused by the waxy bacillus Mycobacterium tuberculosis, TB remains one of the deadliest infectious diseases in the modern era, killing around 1.5 million people per year worldwide. TB infection is usually initiated when an individual inhales bacteria made airborne through the coughing or sneezing of other infected individuals. The bacteria

Exposing the Lie That Antidepressant Withdrawal Symptoms Are Mild and Short-Lived by Peter C. Gøtzsche at Brownstone Institute The house of cards of mainstream psychiatry is coming closer to falling. Increasingly, patients and their relatives, and even an atypical journalist, are becoming aware that the psychiatric leaders have systematically lied to them. One of the big and very harmful lies is that it is rarely a problem for patients to stop taking an antidepressant. On 9 July 2025, a

A Sceptic’s Take on the Nuclear Bomb

A Sceptic’s Take on the Nuclear Bomb by Ramesh Thakur at Brownstone Institute The first time that an atomic bomb was used as a weapon of war was on 6 August 1945 in Hiroshima. The last time it was used was three days later in Nagasaki. Human beings have a tendency to overanalyse and unnecessarily complicate interpretations of pivotal events. The simplest explanation for why nuclear weapons have not been used again in the 80 years since 1945, despite the presence of tens of thousands of warheads in

More on Mapping Autism Causation Studies by Toby Rogers at Brownstone Institute I. RCTs Are Not the Exclusive or Final Criterion As I showed in my twopreviousarticles, the exclusive focus on double-blind, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) by Evidence-Based Medicine is ridiculous because: There are no proper RCTs of vaccines. Pharma and regulators do not want any data that might contradict their biases and interfere with their profits. The Contract Research Organizations (CROs) that

GOAT Becomes Scapegoat by Ramesh Thakur at Brownstone Institute The following is an excerpt from Dr. Ramesh Thakur’s book,Our Enemy, the Government: How Covid Enabled the Expansion and Abuse of State Power. Is God a djoker? First, we’ve had the historical irony that during the cowboy days of the Wild West, banks feared masked robbers. Over the last two years they’ve called the cops on maskless customers. Then we had the sleight of hand by Big Pharma where for the first time in history, the

The Golden Idol Machine by Josh Stylman at Brownstone Institute The other day, I found my high school yearbook. My kids were flipping through it, laughing at old photos and hairstyles, and one of them paused, surprised. "You and your friends were in all these clubs?" Debate, theater, student council, wrestling—page after page of awkward group photos and teenage optimism. It made me smile. I hadn't thought about that version of myself in a long time. I told them the truth: I joined everything,

The Land of the Free…Until You Express an Opinion by Mike Fairclough at Brownstone Institute The following is the introduction to Cancel THIS, a new book by Mike Fairclough. Britain’s cancel culture is a purposely designed social credit system. Say the wrong thing, and you’re done for. One ‘offensive’ tweet? Straight to prison. Say a silent prayer? You’re nicked. Point out that men don’t have wombs, or that climate change hysteria is exaggerated? You’re sacked and shunned. Post a meme that

Brilliant “Eddington” Plunges Viewers Right Back to 2020 by Jeffrey A. Tucker at Brownstone Institute Rarely has my heart raced so fast in a movie. Eddington (2025) is nuts. Brilliantly crazy. Beyond belief. Beyond words. It might be the most politically and culturally realistic film I’ve ever seen. It is particularly gripping because it deals with a madness that everyone tries to forget but which we dare not. It covers the strange period of the Spring and Summer of 2020, times that will go down

Wage-and-Tax Slavery as Emancipation? by Thomas Harrington at Brownstone Institute “Women have always been the primary victims of war.” -Hillary Clinton Life is mind-bogglingly complex. And knowing that, and how engaging fully with that complexity every day would quickly exhaust us, we develop cognitive shortcuts for coping with it. One of the more common of these is to invest words, and the arguments we make with them, with a self-sufficiency and an invariability that they seldom possess

Hiroshima at 80: Setting the Abhorrent Precedent by Robert Billard at Brownstone Institute (U.S. National Archives) August 6th marks the 80th anniversary of mankind's most cataclysmic and ignominious achievement: The first weaponized use of an atomic bomb. At approximately 8:15 in the morning, the bomb "Little Boy" detonated over the city of Hiroshima, Japan. While estimates have varied between 70,000 and 140,000 dead, the sheer magnitude of devastation caused to a largely civilian population

How Big Pharma Hijacked Evidence-Based Medicineby Toby Rogers at Brownstone Institute I. Introduction Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) is a relatively recent phenomenon. The term itself was not coined until 1991. It began with the best of intentions — to give frontline doctors the tools from clinical epidemiology to make science-based decisions that would improve patient outcomes. But over the last three decades, EBM has been hijacked by the pharmaceutical industry to serve the interests of

What Is the PREP Act? by Debbie Lerman at Brownstone Institute In conjunction withEUA (Emergency Use Authorization), the PREP Act is the legislation that enabled – and continues to perpetuate – the rollout and administration of mRNA “countermeasures” against Covid-19.
