What colour is the sky in mongworld?
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-10-21/covid-vaccine-peak-protection-period-miised-in-some-states/100550696
The sluggish vaccination rollout in non-COVID states such as Western Australia and Queensland — and both states’ resistance to exposing their population to the virus — means they are missing out on the “maximum protection period” from the vaccines, leading experts say.

Key points:
International research suggests the effectiveness of the vaccines on offer in Australia can wane after the 10-week mark
The vaccines still provide very high levels of protection, especially against hospital admission and death
But experts say the states with slow rollouts and a reluctance to open borders are missing out on that peak period of protection
As Victoria and New South Wales push past the 70 and 80 per cent double-dose mark for 16-year-olds and above and open up, states such as Queensland and Western Australia have been lagging, sitting at 58 per cent and 57 per cent double-dose rates respectively.

South Australia is at 60 per cent double-dose and the Northern Territory at 59 per cent. Tasmania hit the 70 per cent mark today.

Experts say research showing a waning efficacy of the Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccines means a sluggish rollout could equate to more circulation of the virus when the states eventually open up, putting the vulnerable at risk. *

Deakin University chair of epidemiology Catherine Bennett told the ABC the first couple of months after vaccination was the “maximum protection period” and the population was “less likely” to pass on the virus.

“In the short term, the vaccines work particularly well,” Professor Bennett said

“So this is the advantage of taking the maximum benefit from the vaccines in those first couple of months after most people get their second dose, as we’ve seen in NSW and [now] Victoria, to actually ease restrictions because that should help us not get the big surge [during the] necessary part of opening up.” **

* now being the cynical, heartless swine I am, this reads like they are “softening up” for when the vaccines dont provide the protection which has been promised.

** Mmmmmyesss, hands up everyone who thinks the bat eared wormballs “plan” was to do this?? They are taking a failure and saying “I meant to do that” and daring people to call them out on it.

What we are seeing here is the exact reason covid vaccines werent considered viable in the first place.
Its single strand/highly mutable DNA makes long term vaccination impossible.

So now you’re not happy with demanding things of others that you won’t do,

I have not complied with any of it, at all.
Ever.
The only thing I have submitted to is where they use force.
In other words, I can’t physically leave the country or cross a border to see my parents etc.
They physically stop you, although I’ll still try if I have to.
If I went to board a plane without a mask I’d not get very far..so I didn’t go to work and gave my job away.
I will lose this one soon, and the music if this keeps going, but it won’t be me complying.

UK has looming covid crisis and Boris the pig must impose lockdowns/mask wearing etc and the report also mentioned “waning vaccine protection” demanding boosters…

Prepare for the same here as we open up, I’m afraid.

Inefficient vaccines and a formerly locked down community with little natural immunity via exposure to the virus means we will likely see a rise in infections and hospitalisations.

At some stage this stupidity will stop wont it?

That’s a calculation our political masters will make.

Not only are they generally stupid they have also proven themselves to be amorally indifferent to the damage their stupidity has inflicted upon the community and riven solely by polling. Therein lies the key to when this will end – when a majority of the population says it has had enough!

The thirst for totalitarianism is strong in this one.

Quite so, Mr Dragger.
Speaking of Bossy Boots harassing small business owners and employees.
I posted something weeks ago about a couple getting a clip from a couple of tradies for getting antsy over masks and sign in at a local cafe.
(I don’t wear masks outdoors but won’t lump a struggling small business with yet another problem).
Anyway apparently they were back last week doing the Mickey Mouse sign in and giving the girl behind the counter shit over masks etc.
The girl looks like butter wouldn’t melt, but is captain of the local netty side and comes from a long line of people who don’t take shit.
In response to “we don’t have to do nuffink”, she replied that, “no you don’t have to do nuffink. And you can do your nuffink somewhere else. Out!”
The intrepid freedom fighters then did what they do best. Demanded to see the manager. Who works in the kitchen out the back and had been watching it all unfold from the corridor leading to the kitchen.
“I’m the manager. You heard her. On your way.”
Now, this bloke is totally anti-Dan.

But rightfully won’t have his staff treated like shit.

‘In other words, I can’t physically leave the country or cross a border to see my parents’

Don’t deliberately conflate the two issues. Not being able to leave the country is indeed shit.

We’ve been through this. You can go any time to see you oldies who are frail (you said), and who have nobody to help them (which you also said).

Except there turned out to be rellos down there to give that helping hand. Then you tried to make it Pallashay’s fault because she might change the re-entry rules.

You went from it being all about other people (‘they won’t submit either’, you said) to it being all about you. Again.

It’s not ‘you can’t’. It’s ‘you won’t’.

Anything else that everyone else needs to do, from someone with no skin in the game? No, a bread truck is not ‘skin’. There’s more to that story than meets the eye as well, I think.

Remembering Nelson & Trafalgar .. LOL!

Nelson at Trafalgar 2012
Nelson: “Order the signal, Hardy.”
Hardy: “Aye, aye sir.”
Nelson: “Hold on, this isn’t what I dictated to Flags. What’s the meaning of this?”
Hardy: “Sorry sir?”
Nelson (reading aloud): „ England expects every person to do his or her duty, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religious persuasion or disability.’ – What gobbledygook is this for God’s sake?”
Hardy: “Admiralty policy, I’m afraid, sir. We’re an equal opportunities employer now. We had the devil’s own job getting „ England ” past the censors, lest it be considered racist.”
Nelson: “Gadzooks, Hardy. Hand me my pipe and tobacco.”
Hardy: “Sorry sir. All naval vessels have now been designated smoke-free working environments.”
Nelson: “In that case, break open the rum ration. Let us splice the main brace to steel the men before battle.”
Hardy: “The rum ration has been abolished, Admiral. Its part of the Government’s policy on binge drinking.”
Nelson: “Good heavens, Hardy. I suppose we’d better get on with it full speed ahead.”
Hardy: “I think you’ll find that there’s a 4 knot speed limit in this stretch of water.”
Nelson: “Damn it man! We are on the eve of the greatest sea battle in history. We must advance with all dispatch. Report from the crow’s nest, please.”
Hardy: “That won’t be possible, sir.”
Nelson: “What?”
Hardy: “Health and Safety have closed the crow’s nest, sir. No harness; and they said that rope ladders don’t meet regulations. They won’t let anyone up there until proper scaffolding can be erected.”
Nelson: “Then get me the ship’s carpenter without delay, Hardy.”
Hardy: “He’s busy knocking up a wheelchair access to the foredeck Admiral.”
Nelson: “Wheelchair access? I’ve never heard anything so absurd.”
Hardy: “Health and safety again, sir. We have to provide a barrier- free environment for the differently abled.”
Nelson: “Differently abled? I’ve only one arm and one eye and I refuse even to hear mention of the word. I didn’t rise to the rank of admiral by playing the disability card.”
Hardy: “Actually, sir, you did. The Royal Navy is under- represented in the areas of visual impairment and limb deficiency.”
Nelson: “Whatever next? Give me full sail. The salt spray beckons.”
Hardy: “A couple of problems there too, sir. Health and safety won’t let the crew up the rigging without hard hats. And they don’t want anyone breathing in too much salt – haven’t you seen the adverts?”
Nelson: “I’ve never heard such infamy. Break out the cannon and tell the men to stand by to engage the enemy.”
Hardy: “The men are a bit worried about shooting at anyone, Admiral.”
Nelson: “What? This is mutiny!”
Hardy: “It’s not that, sir. It’s just that they’re afraid of being charged with murder if they actually kill anyone. There are a couple of legal-aid lawyers on board, watching everyone like hawks.”
Nelson: “Then how are we to sink the Frenchies and the Spanish?”
Hardy: “Actually, sir, we’re not.”
Nelson: “We’re not?”
Hardy: “No, sir.. The French and the Spanish are our European partners now. According to the Common Fisheries Policy, we shouldn’t even be in this stretch of water. We could get hit with a claim for compensation.”
Nelson: “But you must hate a Frenchman as you hate the devil.”
Hardy: “I wouldn’t let the ship’s diversity coordinator hear you saying that sir. You’ll be up on disciplinary report.”
Nelson: “You must consider every man an enemy, who speaks ill of your King.”
Hardy: “Not any more, sir. We must be inclusive in this multicultural age. Now put on your Kevlar vest; it’s the rules. It could save your life”
Nelson: “Don’t tell me – Health and Safety. Whatever happened to rum, sodomy and the lash?”
Hardy: As I explained, sir, rum is off the menu! And there’s a ban on corporal punishment.”
Nelson: “What about sodomy?”
Hardy: “I believe that is now legal, sir.”
Nelson: “In that case………………. Kiss me, Hardy.”

Nor I am I going to disobey the rules at a small business. One $5000 fine with very poor retail sales might be enough to trigger insolvency.

I do not want to bring that on them.

Most small businesses have the QR code outside their door because they want no part of it either.
You can get what you need from them. You don’t need Woolies and no one scans in at Woolies anyway.
People have to accept they need to fight this.
Many small businesses are just going along to get along.
You do them no good in the long run if they aren’t made to fight and you jjust go along.
I’ve asked a few here if they have made any complaints to their local members, and they haven’t
The correct way is to live your life ignoring the tyrannical bullshit, and it’s also the correct way for the small business to exist.
Fuck any business who hasn’t fought this tooth and nail and expects me to stop what I am doing to hold my phone up to a crossword puzzle, to buy something from them.
The ones that turn a blind eye, let me in ,and the ones that I know have protested get my business.
And there are more up here ignoring that bullshit than are complying.

Cheap & Reliable Energy
Australia is a resource-rich country that once enjoyed cheap and reliable energy. This natural advantage was a bedrock of Australia’s economy, but by 2017 we were saddled with some of the highest prices in the world.

High electricity prices not only increase the basic cost of living for households, they also increase costs for businesses and stifle economic growth.

The major causes of these runaway prices are clear – overregulation, climate alarmist ideology, irrational prohibition of some energy sources and low business confidence in investment as a result. These problems seem set to get even worse with new “net-zero emissions” targets and associated regulations.

Free market energy. Government funding, ownership and regulation of energy sources only distort the market and reduce business confidence. All sources of energy should compete in the market on their own merits of reliability and cost.

Certainty for the energy industry. The risk of reckless future regulations is preventing investment in new energy production. Government should be required to pay regulatory compensation in cases where new regulation directly harms the value of private property.

No net-zero emissions target. This target is an absurd extension of climate alarmist ideology that will have grave effects on living standards for all Australians if it is pursued.

Abolish the renewable energy target (RET). The RET is a significant contributor to Australia’s runaway electricity prices. It has created a muddled and complex regulatory framework and taken away the incentive for investment into cheaper energy sources.

Nuclear
Nuclear energy is the cleanest, safest and most reliable means of making grid-scale electricity. It’s also one of the lowest emitters of carbon dioxide, generates 99% less waste than solar energy, and has comparatively tiny land requirements.

I’m not fully vaxxed and needed a new tyre for my bike on Sunday. My local bike shop said no tax no service. Fine … I ordered two new tyres online and got them today.

Now – I went there mostly because I wanted to support the LBC. I am more than capable of doing the change myself. Probably saved 50% of what the LBC would have charged. MEH.

So:

HOW much business are the local shops missing out on because they CAN’T serve the unvaxxed? This prevents small business recovery as again, only the online giants [Amazon etc] benefit.

The economists advising are really fucked. And so are those who don’t stand up and call the stupidity out!!!

I would wager that not a small percentage of the double vax’d are not pleased to be constantly showing their ‘papers’ just to buy something they could order online cheaper.

Governments jumping the gun:
1. Australia has purchased 51 million doses of Novavax which is due to be delivered late 2021. However, the company has yet to receive regulatory approval for the vaccine anywhere in the world.
2. US President Joe Biden’s administration said it had already set aside enough supply and partnered with 25,000 sites nationwide — including doctors’ offices, hospitals, pharmacies and even schools — in anticipation that regulators may soon authorise the Pfizer vaccine for kids.

In terms of planning a product roll out, it’s a debatable tactic (buying the product before it is approved for use) but when it is the welfare of people and kids especially then it’s just more proof that politics trumps sensibility.

Kimberley teens using stolen cars to ‘hunt’ police, with top cop warning ‘real tragedy’ could be around corner
Sam Jones and Grace HendryBroome Advertiser
Thu, 21 October 2021 2:00AM
Comments

The Kimberley’s top cop says police in the region are being “hunted” by youth and issued a warning that if something drastic isn’t done tragedy will be unavoidable.

Speaking at the Pastoralists and Graziers Association annual conference in Broome last week, Kimberley police superintendent Craig Parkin said there had been a clear trend of kids using stolen vehicles to target police vehicles.

“These kids, 12 or 13 years old, are stealing the keys to 200 series LandCruisers, then hunting police cars,” he said.

“We had three police cars, including the one in Fitzroy, written off in just 36 hours.

“There is a real danger here for our policing community and I keep saying that it’s only a matter of time before there’s a real tragedy and … we are trying to avoid that.”

At about 4am on September 20, Sergeant Neville Ripp, who had spent more than 20 years as an officer in the region, was inside his vehicle when it was allegedly hit by a stolen Toyota LandCruiser in Fitzroy Crossing.

The police vehicle rolled and Sergeant Ripp was taken to Broome hospital for treatment.

Two Fitzroy Crossing boys, aged 15 and 16, were charged over the incident.

Just five days later a teenager from Derby allegedly went on a wild rampage in a stolen car which saw multiple local businesses damaged and two police officers injured.

Slipped on a stupid, mossy yard step yesterday and hurt ligaments around my elbow.
Question:

Wait until 3am.

Call ambulance.

Tell paramedics that you didn’t go to the doctor earlier because you didn’t want to sit in the waiting room for hours.

No, you haven’t taken any panadol because you don’t like taking tablets.

Make sure the paramedic doesn’t forget to take your fifteen different medications with you in case you have to stay in hospital.

Tell your wife to follow the ambulance in the car. The paramedic will be pleased that you have family support in this trying time.

Pain score out of ten? Ten being the worst pain you can imagine. Twenty, haha.

Of course you don’t need the stretcher, you can walk out and sit in the back. After all, you don’t want to be a nuisance.

Give your ambulance fund card to the paramedic, you don’t need a bill for a trivial job like this.

Make sure you get the green whistle for pain relief. The paramedic has a duty of care to treat your pain.

So now I just amble up and tell them I can’t scan and then give them a fake name and number.

Welcome to hell.

Ms Berejiklian’s former strategist Ehssan Veiszadeh told The Sydney Morning Herald that it was persistent pressure from the media at daily press conferences about copying various Victorian measures – such as curfews and mandatory masks outdoors – that ultimately saw them adopted in NSW.

Behold your new bishops:

“Not just in relation to this paper but in general I think there has been a reluctance to criticise research and to criticise public health interventions [during the pandemic] and to be seen as a wrecker,” he said.

“Unfortunately there is a culture in science which sees criticising other researchers or research as something fundamentally bad – that we should be presenting a united front to laypeople.”

Quite unaccountably, apart from the general panic, they only do telephone consultations now that we’re supposed to be ‘opening up’ post-Covid, whereas since March 2020 they’ve always done personal consults. I’ve got a serious UTI and need some antibiotics as per last time, check my record, I say to the Indian doc on the phone. Go to emergency, is his helpful response.

Sorted, after my flat refusal to wait for three hours in emergency for no outcome. I’d prefer to lose a kidney I say, so he organises a script and some drop off for pathology.

2020: COVID-19 mortality

COVID-19 is a respiratory infection caused by a new coronavirus. On 11 March 2020 the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 to be a pandemic. Information relating to COVID-19 mortality for both 2020 and 2021 is also published in the Provisional Mortality Statistics publication.

For the 898 people who died from COVID-19 in 2020:

COVID-19 was the 38th leading cause of death.
Their median age at death was 86 years.
Just over half were female (460 female deaths, 438 male deaths).
People who died from the virus under the age of 70 were more likely to be male.
Dementia was the most common pre-existing condition (275 deaths).
Chronic cardiac conditions, hypertension and diabetes were also commonly reported comorbidities.
The majority of deaths occurred in people with a usual residence of Victoria (800 deaths).

Former Labor ministers Eddie Obeid, Ian Macdonald sentenced over mine licence conspiracy

Stephen Rice
NSW EDITOR
@riceyontheroad
4 minutes ago October 21, 2021

Corrupt former NSW Labor MP Eddie Obeid will spend at least three years and 10 months in prison for his part in a conspiracy to fix a coal mining licence.

Mr Obeid’s ex-parliamentary colleague Ian Macdonald will be jailed for at least 5 years and 3 months, while Mr Obeid’s son Moses was given a non parole period of three years.

It will be Eddie Obeid’s second term in prison, after spending three years in Silverwater prison following his 2016 conviction for misconduct in public office related to his family’s business dealing at Circular Quay.

The trio were sentenced in the NSW Supreme Court this afternoon, by Justice Elizabeth Fullerton, for their roles in the 2009 granting of a coal exploration licence encompassing a large property owned by the Obeids at Mount Penny in the Bylong Valley, NSW.

More than 1,000 people watched the sentencing as it was livestreamed on YouTube.

The jail terms mark the culmination of a series of cases that began almost a decade ago with an Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) inquiry told the mine licence scandal amounted to corruption “on a scale unexceeded since the days of the Rum Corps”.

The Bylong Valley project resulted in a $30m windfall for the Obeid family and they were in line to make a further $30m.

Justice Fullerton found the men had agreed that Macdonald, 72, would “do what he could” in his role as mineral resources minister when it came to the mining licence and the Obeids’ financial interests. Macdonald asked his department for information related to the licence and gave documents to the Obeids.

Justice Fullerton in her sentencing remarks found Mr Macdonald had breached his ministerial duties “opportunistically”.

Eddie Obeid held a much higher degree of criminal culpability, she said.

Moses Obeid’s barrister Maurice Neil had previously argued his client should be sentenced to a jail term of no more than two years.

Mr Neil argued that Moses Obeid, 52, had no knowledge of the scope and depth of Mr Macdonald’s offending in providing documents.

However Justice Fullerton said Moses Obeid was “enthusiastic to say the very least” about the potential that Mr Macdonald would render financial benefit to his family, although noting he held no public office.

Justice Fullerton last month ordered a report into how Obeid, 77, and Macdonald, 72, would potentially be processed into jail given their age, saying she was concerned about how Covid was impacting prisons.

In her sentencing remarks on Thursday she noted there were currently more than 200 positive Covid-19 cases in NSW prisons. All three defendants, she said, had comorbidities.

However, she said she was satisfied each of the three could be screened and processed by the prison system in an appropriate way.

She said none of the men had accepted responsibility for their actions, an expression of remorse which might otherwise have been taken into account in sentencing.

Finally got my hair cut by a delightful Persian gentleman in a gentleman’s salon. Joh Bailey appointments not available this month and Just Cuts has a four hour wait if you arrive at 9am, so both ends of the hairdressing spectrum unavailable. Feeling like not venturing out again this week due to UTI as above, I chanced my arm with the Persian, popping my head into his masculine world and pleading. He was an utter cutie, ushered me in sans any QR or Vaxx Cert nonsense, inviting me immediately to remove my mask. Unnecessary, he says as he waves it away, a young man happy to chat about the glories of Persia as told by his parents in the days of the Shah, and while his haircut lacks a certain elegance it has a bluntness that some might see as admirable. I do not like Iran, he says disarmingly to me, with a wicked smile, because they would not let me like the girls there. Wink.

This hideous stuff is not going to go away by March, I say, and Hairy agrees.
Cancel then? Yep, we both say. Even though Florida is appealing, this other stuff can intervene and make travel hell. Anyway, says Hairy, if we go in October we’ll be there just before the mid-terms, which could be a lot of fun.

19 You know how I am scorned, disgraced and shamed;
all my enemies are before you.
20 Scorn has broken my heart
and has left me helpless;
I looked for sympathy, but there was none,
for comforters, but I found none.
21 They put gall in my food
and gave me vinegar for my thirst.
22 May the table set before them become a snare;
may it become retribution and a trap.
23 May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see,
and their backs be bent forever.
24 Pour out your wrath on them;
let your fierce anger overtake them.

WA government flags introduction of mandatory COVID-19 vaccines for all interstate travellers

The WA Health Department appears to have let slip plans to prevent unvaccinated travellers from entering the state.

On Thursday morning, the state government’s mandatory vaccinations Frequently Asked Questions page stated that “from Monday 15 November all travellers from very low risk jurisdictions will be required to be fully vaccinated”.

“WA is the first jurisdiction to introduce this type of measure,” it stated.

Currently, travellers from high and extreme risk jurisdictions, such as New South Wales and Victoria, need to show proof of a vaccination to enter Western Australia.

Pascoe’s ABC: Enough to Make You Ropable

Peter O’Brien

I sometimes wonder if I’m becoming a tad obsessive about Bruce Pascoe, but let me observe in my defence that he is like a mouth ulcer – you just can’t leave it alone. My father once had a mouth ulcer that didn’t go away and, when he finally consulted his doctor, was diagnosed with a cancer that took away half his jaw. So, while it’s tempting to think of Pascoe as a mere irritant, I worry that he is a symptom of a wider cancer spreading through our society. I’m talking about the corruption of truth — and rope-making too.

I’ll bet you didn’t know the Aboriginal people could make rope well before 1788. Well, courtesy of ABC Education, your primary school children and grandchildren will be better informed than you, thanks to Professor of Indigenous Agriculture, Yuin, Burnurong and Tasmanian man Bruce Pascoe.

In a less-than-riveting four-minute segment, which can be watched here, Professor Bruce imparts the ancient wisdom of the ‘old people’ by taking a strip of bark from a stringy bark tree while noting that those he claims as ancestors would have used the moist bark from closer to the trunk, something Bruce refuses to do because no tree should be damaged for a mere demonstration. It seems the technique is to separate the bark into two strips and wind each around the other. But if that seems a bit complicated, Bruce tells us there was an ancient formula and proceeds to lay it on with a trowel.

For example, an Aborigine on the east coast of NSW would point the two strips to the north and then fold one towards the mountains and the next towards the sea and so on. Do you think you’ve got that? He doesn’t explain the method used in Central Australia, but I’m sure Pascoe could invent one upon request. He goes on to note that explorer Thomas Mitchell was impressed that Aboriginal fishing made from such ropes were almost indistinguishable from European nets, even to the knots used. So, according to Pascoe’s logic (used, for example, in the cases of government and bread-making) this would make the Aboriginal people the inventors of ropes and knots.

In another episode, also part of the Aboriginal Ingenuity series, the Professor covers language and plants. There’s not a lot about plants – lettuce gets a mention as does murnong and the bulbine lily, and language also gets very short shrift. Bruce confesses that he doesn’t know the names of indigenous plants except for murnong. So, he is relying on the kids to look them up online, or to ask their elders. It might take them 20 minutes or six months but however long it takes ‘that person has made an incredible contribution to their culture, if they can find that word’. Apparently he has so much work on his bark trencher that he ‘needs the young people to become inquisitive about their culture’. So as far as language is concerned, we learned another name for murnong – naramah – and that’s it. Still, it only occupies two minutes. We can’t ask too much of the overstressed ABC budget.

The ABC Education History series of video clips comprises 42 episodes, 22 relating to Aboriginal issues and culture, the other 20 looking at what we might call mainstream history. They include four episodes based on the ludicrous ‘Back in Time for Dinner’ series hosted by Annabel Crabb, which I reviewed here. There is one titled ‘Identity, Racism and Connection’ and a couple of lifestyle pieces (growing up in the 1900s and school in the 1940s). One on asylum seekers, one on women’s lib and another on tales from around the world. I count only eight to cover serious topics such Federation, Parliament House, the First Fleet, the gold rush, and so on.

I understand education ministers are about to review the draft new national curriculum. I don’t hold out a great deal of hope they will be either willing or able to stem the tide of woke history’s revisionism, but their efforts will not be helped by the ABC’s unaccountable foray into the classroom, which appears to lack any semblance of quality control. The prominence given to Bruce Pascoe’s faux history is the proof.

Hysterical moo news…

Priti Patel wants police briefing on needle spiking incidents
Police asked to give urgent update on investigation into reports of women being drugged via drinks or needles

The home secretary has requested an urgent update from police on investigations into a spate of reports of women who believe they may have been “spiked”, the Guardian understands.

Priti Patel’s intervention comes after police in Nottingham arrested a 20-year-old man as part of an investigation following social media reports of women being injected with needles in the past fortnight.

A 19-year-old student said on social media that she had woken up with “zero recollection” of her evening at a Nottingham nightclub and a “sharp, agonising pain” in her leg, and she later discovered what appeared to be a pinprick mark on her leg.

Groups from more than 50 universities around the UK have joined an online campaign calling for boycotts of nightclubs one day next week to highlight the issue of women’s safety.

…………..
A petition calling for clubs to be legally required to search guests for spiking paraphernalia on entry has collected more than 90,000 signatures.

In a statement, Stealth said it had received two reports in the past two weeks from customers who suspected they had been spiked.

Basically it looks like there have been no assaults/rapes or anything other than ‘I was drugged” from the ladies in question at ONE club.
Which is of course becoming a nationwide phenomenon thanks to general hysteria, and people not managing their piss intake.

thefrollickingmole
October 21, 2021 7:05 pm

Measham urged caution until more evidence was gathered about the prevalence of injection spiking. “We know from research that there is a very low incidence of [drink] spiking, and we’d imagine therefore, the risk is even lower of spiking by injection.

“The anxieties [around women’s safety] are very real and we should take all reports seriously, but what I think this is an opportunity for is discussion about the bigger issues of safety in and around nightclubs.”

Translated:
Hysterical moos are hysterical… but because of vagina magic we will introduce nonsense “rules” to calm their overheated vulvas.

any business owner who still thinks Govt just saved them, is a fucking moron.

Then that would be the case with every eatery and coffee shop that I at least have come across since Monday last week. And my Bridge club as well as the other local Bridge club, and a clothing store I have often patronised which now won’t let me in. I think they have all be terrorised into submission by the government. The Bridge club owner said in his email that he has no choice.

All this is even harder to understand when the Police Commissioner said quite clearly before Segregation Day that police would not be checking vaccination status in restaurants, which I assume would include other shops too. So what are they so afraid off.

David Jones in Bondi Junction has closed off it’s side door and curtained off it’s entrances on each floor to funnel everyone through a vaccine checkpoint. That is the world we now live in.

Geez, dot, lessee. A 100% chance of death from cancer from some even high risk of death or serious injury from a vaccine vs a sub 1% chance of dying from a seasonal flu vs unknown risks of an untested vaccine.
Not exactly the same thing.

Despite cancer having metabolic and mutagenic causes, it is still operationally a genetic disease.

Dot,
There are a lot of OS doctors reporting cancers reappearing in vaccinated patients. Yes – this is hardly unusual for cancers to return – but they are reporting an unusual amount of these cases. I have not heard of similar accounts from doctors here – but there is a nurses’ blog that certainly is reporting cancer cases recurring, as well as auto immune disorders. Again, these reoccur normally, we know this. But so do the RNs – but they know the difference in numbers.

Again, we know that many doctors are of the opinion that the gene therapy vaccines undermine the immune system. Yes – I know – the opposite of what they are designed to do.
