We must trust the government

Our Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) said this in their latest weekly report dated 26 August: “Since the beginning of the vaccine rollout to 22 August 2021, over 17.1 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines have been given. So far, the TGA has found that 7 reports of deaths were linked to immunisation from 476 reports [of deaths] received and reviewed. These deaths occurred after the first dose of the Vaxzervria (AstraZeneca) vaccine – 6 were TTS cases and one was a case of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP).”

See, I said to my friend, only 7 deaths – which is pretty good provided you’re not one of the seven. He came back, and cynically is the only way to describe it: “So, deaths related to vaccinations are not caused by the vaccine, but all deaths of people with Covid are caused by Covid?”

Tch, tch! I replied, we must trust government figures.

    Of course I trust the Government.
    To provide rubbery figures.
    To constantly move the goalposts.
    Not to have politicians nor their families to gain financially from big pharmaceuticals.
    To piss away our taxes.
    And heaps of other things that shaft us.

    I would like to know the ages of those dead.

    Covid is killing 85 year olds.

    Government is killing 45 year olds.

    You have too many cynical friends Peter.

    Find optimistic friends who will tell you, “So, deaths related to vaccinations are not caused by the vaccine, but all deaths of people with Covid are caused by Covid?”
