Evangelicals didn’t cause thus plague, and we desperately need the courage and wisdom that evangelicals have always brought to bear against pandemics. They deserve better than this slander. We would be wise to look closely at the real ideological and scientific “consensus” — a wholly secular consensus — that inflicted this misery on humanity. Read More ›

The coronavirus has stopped our society in its tracks. Businesses are closed, daily routines are on hold, and families are huddled together indoors. With the headlines screaming catastrophe — death, depression, and despair — the partisans have retreated to their familiar corners. The socialist Left is hoping to permanently expand the domain of the state, and the libertarian Right is hoping to engineer a quick bailout and return to the “free market.” Read More ›

The Wall Street Journal recently reported that French researchers treated COVID-19 patients with a “game-changer” combination of hydroxychloroquine and a Z-Pak (antibiotic), and that every single patient was cured within 6 days. In comparison, the recovery rates were 57.1% for patients treated with hydroxychloroquine alone and only 12.5% for patients who received neither medication. More tests are needed but the obvious conclusion would be treat first, test later. What harm could that do? Read More ›

In a press conference yesterday about the coronavirus, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo used notably religious language. He observed that healthcare workers are “doing God’s work” of caring for people.
