Yes and thank God especially for dogs & watermelon wine when you have insomnia.
It’s funny, my ‘old’ dog is still quite young but around the pup he puts on his ‘wise old uncle dog’ act, you know, setting the right tone for the youngster … until they get outside … then it’s zoomies & silly buggers until the pup picks up something she ought not and then the ‘old’ dog suddenly becomes a ‘wise old uncle’ dog again & a magician, suddenly magicing himself to a far away part of the yard.

I have a very lefty family member with whom heated discussions are had vis a vis the effectiveness of ivermectin in 3rd world countries and yet it’s administration for treatment in Australia has been banned.
Here is a link to an article by a fellow by the name of Scott Alexander, which has influenced my family members view on ivermectin:

The idiots in these School Boards are courting disaster – some enraged parent is going to take matters into their own hands if the system won’t stop this grooming of kids.
What the Hell did they expect would happen when they voted for an idiot who said he’d let more migrants in?
The Australian government has suppressed antiviral treatments and the new protein vaccine. Add these to the growing list of instances of government failing to use anything resembling common sense.

Let the jokes commence!
The public is paying the bill for convicted criminals in the state’s jails to freeze their sperm, while an embarrassed health department has tried to cover up the details.
Justice Health, which provides healthcare to prisoners, claimed in a freedom of information request from The Daily Telegraph that they did not hold this information.
The query was sparked after the release of notorious rapist Mohammed Skaf, who controversially had his sperm stored after undergoing treatment for Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2002.
The government at the time, under then-premier Morris Iemma, said that Skaf, who was 17 when he joined his brother in leading the series of atrocious rapes in 2000 on four women, would have to pay for the procedure himself.
Despite that, Skaf was never asked to pay.
While Justice Health said it had no details of how many prisoners were given permission to have their sperm collected for medical reasons, such as chemotherapy which might affect their fertility, nor how many were made to pay, The Daily Telegraph can reveal that Skaf is not the only one.
Justice Health, which is run under NSW Health and not Corrective Services, has recommended that five other inmates be allowed to freeze their sperm over the past two decades.
In that time, Corrective Services commissioners have knocked back half and given permission for three. Only Justice Health can require them to pay and none have been asked to foot the bill.
A request from an inmate with a terminal illness in custody for violent offences, was rejected in 2020.
The section of the policy which relates to the procedures states: “This policy provides directions on the roles and responsibilities of Justice Health and Forensic Health Network staff in assisting patients undergoing Assisted Reproductive programs if undergoing medical procedures that may render them infertile or requesting Parentage testing”.
One observer said that the department, with an annual budget of $250m, was a law unto itself.
“I find it laughable that they couldn’t find the information you sought,” the source said. “They fly under the radar everywhere. They are like a secret agency.”
Victims’ advocate Howard Brown said it was an “abuse of power” by Justice Health.
“The bottom line is that we as a community have a responsibility to ensure that every prisoner in NSW, including forensic patients, be provided with care to ensure their safety.
“How is freezing sperm a requirement for their health and safety? It’s not,” he said.

COVAX 19 Petition:
https://www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/petition/EN3586?fbclid=IwAR1OjuX7Pnw25CcsY92O2vXaPbKJYzNbQc5I3oBu7PuR5mDU8Yra5EXGOLY
Tinta – Those articles are pretty good, although don’t adequately cover the political landscape, which is tilted so heavily and hysterically for vaccination and against ivermectin. But it is very encouraging that your lefty relation is exploring these areas.
I scanned the latter two articles and I’ve seen the Scott Alexander one before. My take is the following:
1. There is absolutely no justification whatsoever to have banned ivermectin, or to persecute GPs who prescribe it
2. There is absolutely no justification whatsoever to enforce the vaccines with such immoral and involuntary arm-twisting.
So whilst the questions may be in the ‘uncanny valley’ the authorities are camped out at the very top of one side and are forcing their will upon everyone like a bunch of jackbooted thugs.
In general the data would suggest to me that ivermectin works, at least on some people, and especially in designed therapy regimens. But that can be said about several other repurposed pharmaceuticals too. And for example Pfizer’s new protease inhibitor they are developing (which is a tell since ivermectin also has protease inhibitory action). But it’s clear there certainly isn’t any pressing reason why it should not be available, yet the extreme repression of it by the authorities is breathtaking.
Another thing that they don’t really address is the bias of the data collection. So vax injuries data collection is much lower than 100%. And vax injuries are much higher than reflected for example in VAERS. There’s a lot of anecdotal reports of health professionals being monstered to not report such events.
At the same time while there was so much examination of ivermectin efficacy (with health system bias against it in some cases, eg studies designed to fail) there is no examination of the safety of ivermectin. That tells me that it is extremely safe or we’d be hearing screamers screaming about how dangerous it is.
So there’s silence on this aspect at the same time that there’s incredible pressure to silence people pointing out the terrible harm that some people are suffering from the vaccines.
If it is hard to detach people from the totalitarian state positions on just two aspects I can imagine what would happen if you start talking with your relo about other things, like HCQ, asprin and antihistamines. All of which have various degrees of evidence in favour also.
Finally the issue I’ve been flagging ever since the Israeli data became available is now emerging into official visibility: that vaccine efficacy is only good for about 4 months and the health authorities are moving towards boosters literally 3 times per year. That is going to cause ructions far beyond what we’ve yet seen.
Go to abc.net.au and search for “crime wave usa” and you’ll get articles from 2020 and before about Kenosha, George Floyd and that terrible Orange Man.
Search for “record murder rates in usa” and you’ll get nothing relevant to that topic.
Same result for “inflation in the usa”.
If (as hoped) the Democrats are wiped out electorally in the mid-terms, Australians who rely on the ABC for news from the USA will be completely bewildered. What exactly does the ABC’s correspondent in the USA do?

I see the Feds have a zero road deaths by 2050 goal. Another unrealistic target. Are there any adults in charge?
Well, if I took anything away from the weekend thread, it’s that we are all at risk. Every single one of us.
Because we all have enemies. And if what happened to Henry VIII is any guide, your enemies will poison you as quick as look at you.
Granted, Hank 8 was King of England. And he, like every other monarch for the past couple of thousand years spent his entire life having enemies because he spent his kingship trying to take their stuff off them (and they him).
But the gout and syphilis and unhealed jousting misfortune were covers, likely invented by spooks. It was really poison.
Get in first, is my advice. Go hard with your enemies, and especially people you think might be. Can’t be too careful.
Also, and on an unrelated point, olive oil is poisonous.
Easy peasy. Just eliminate private transport, which is exactly what they’re working towards.

I smelled a rat as soon as drugs that have been safe for use for decades were declared as dangerous but only in the case of COVID-19. It didn’t make sense. The next huge revelation was that no other treatments were sought, this also didn’t make sense. If this was such a dangerous disease wouldn’t the world want to use a multi-pronged attack while an effective and safe vaccine is being produced?
The dog that did not bark is the media. If they are unbiased reporters of events then they could get just as much circulation and clicks by reporting on the brave search for treatments as they do in “we’re all gonna die” alarmism.
There will have to be a reckoning for all the lives and livelihoods lost, a form of Nuremberg trials to keep the monsters back for a few generations again.
Ivermectin is ‘safe’ it’s been prescribed as an antiparasitical for decades and and is manufactured and sold for human use by a reputable ‘big pharma’ but there are still no reliable double blind trials demonstrating that it is effective against covid.
I notice that when ‘big names’ like Joe Rogan* have used it they’ve also gone for the very expensive monoclonal antibodies treatments and of course Allen West’s prophylactic use was a failure.
*clearly didn’t trust the cheap option
Pre-COVID and the 2020 US election I used to think that no matter how awful our politicians are we can ride it out as the bureaucracy will run the country on auto-pilot until the insanity passes. Now I think that even good politicians cannot fight the unelected bureaucracy once it goes rogue.
Here’s a picture of Boris Johnson with wine and cheese alongside his wife and up to 17 staff during the May 2020 lockdown
Why would it suddenly have unacceptable side-effects when I’d didn’t when used for treating other diseases? Are the “experts” saying that side-effects of ivermectin are far worse than COVID-19? Are they saying COVID-19 is really harmless?
You can’t have it both ways.
Perhaps they can do what they did with the ‘vaccines’…force it on the public, and see what happens.
No need for full and comprehensive trials anymore. Just give it provisional approval, and let rip with a ‘No Gob, No Job’ policy.
authorities are moving towards boosters literally 3 times per year.

I’m enjoying the tussle between Liberals and the Voices For since I don’t have a dog in that fight. Now the treacherous ScoMo can see what it was like for Tony Abbott.
But according to them this virus mutates so fast that the vaccine may be ineffective anyway. It’s hard to decide whether it is stupidity or corruption.
A safe drug (ivermectin) thats been around for 35 years needs a double blind trial before it is safe to use.
A new technology treatment (mRNA “vaccines”) are approved in 106 days without any double blind trial evidence required.
It certainly gives new meaning to “evidence based medicine”.
You do have to be doubly blind.

The relationship between our governing authorities and the public today bears many similarities to the abuser-victim dynamic. Facing a bully, it is futile to hope that the bully will relent if you don’t resist. Acquiescence invites further humiliation. Similarly, it is wishful thinking to hope that the authorities will simply hand back the powers they have seized over the course of the pandemic. Indeed, if our rights and freedoms exist only by the whim of those authorities, conditional on their decision to grant them, then they are not rights and freedoms at all, but only privileges. By its nature, freedom is not something one can beg for; the posture of begging already grants the power relations of subjugation.
Exactly. The clinical results speak for themselves.
The .gov has clearly been captured. There are many other vax’s that have been approved for use in other countries, and are even accepted to enter Australia. So, why aren’t they available?

there are still no reliable double blind trials demonstrating that it is effective against covid.
Apparently there are no reliable double blind trials that establish that parachutes are any use when jumping out of aeroplanes. Because of the lack of volunteers for doing the trials with aeroplanes in flight they had to do the trials on the ground and the distance from the step to the ground was about 2 feet.
Lots of engineering in use every day was not established by double blind trials.

If there are some problems like permanent disability or death, don’t worry it is for a good cause as humanity doesn’t need these sort of people in the gene pool. Listening to the opinion (also known as the news) every day we have some expert telling us how to live our lives or we’re all going to die. I just wish they would go back to anonymity like in the good old days. I hate to think how much money is being wasted on them.

My BiL suckles from the ABC news teat, and has time and again come a cropper for it. ABC news and current affairs appeals to a particular vain demographic.
I remember a few years ago, while Mueller was ringmaster of that dog-and-pony show of his, my BiL telling me with a sneering self-satisfied sagacity and conviction that was more of a dare than anything else that inescapable charges would be delivered the next day and Trump would likely be in an orange jumpsuit by Friday. My BiL had been watching the ABC. The ABC told him what happened and what would happen.
I myself, being more circumspect, said I thought it highly unlikely. Unlike him I accepted that my own knowledge might be incomplete, or that some shenanigans might be afoot. But I could not be 100% certain. Merely that, from what I knew, it was unlikely that Trump would have findings delivered against him the next day.
I was right.
But for my BiL something had gone terribly awry. Fortunately for him the ABC went straight to the business of delivering with the same absolute authority they had used before explanations as to why it didn’t happen.
I dislike discussing much with him – he is one of those people who is able to suddenly cite an event that vitiates your point. Just like that: Bang! Yup, it is a lie. It is bad faith, but there are deeper foibles at play. He needs to be right. It is how he sees himself.
When I saw the initial vision of the collapse, my immediate thought was – I bet it was held up by a pair of chopsticks.

Anyone who thinks the choggies can build anything of quality as some here have suggested are wrong. Everything they make is inferior due to cost cutting, graft and know it alls in charge.

Indeed.
It’s a ridiculous load to be travelling unsupervised.
It appears (from the GT piece) that the maximum load limit for the bridge was 49 tonnes. Given the bridge was apparently designed to carry 2×2 500m lanes of traffic this allows for a potentially massive unbalanced live load for the structure.
This must be in other countries because there wouldn’t have been a GP in Australia that has treated a Covid patient unless I’m mistaken nether lone prescribed IVM. Doctors surgeries in my area have signs saying if you have symptoms – go away! The last person I’d ask for advice on Covid is an Australian GP. They have abrogated their responsibility in the last 18 months. It’s shameful how they turned their backs on patient care.

They will need to talk about kN/m^2 for the loads they mention to make much sense.
If the truck is say 25m long x 2m wide = 60m^2. A 200 ton load = around 2000kN, which would mean a load of around 30kN/m^2.

On 5 October the PM announced that the Australian Government had ordered 300,000 courses of the Merck drug molnupiravir.

https://www.cnn.com/2021/11/30/health/molnupiravir-pill-covid-fda-advisers
So it is reasonable to assume, fellow taxpayers, that our 300,000 courses will cost $A298,653,000.
Unfortunately, Merck’s product is not as efficacious as hoped.

fact check: TRUE
Last year, I think, non-leftwing governments and their people – Boris, “Scomo”, Trump thought this was going to be Swine Flu 2.0 on steroids – a politically driven ‘pandemic’ by the China / Pharma occupied WHO and global public health class and pharma companies to gin up another ‘bird flu’ scare, but really underneath it all, just a wedge against Trump and to makes some $$$ as they did in 2009. Tell people to wash their hands, pay the danegeld to Pfizer and we’d move on.
They didn’t personally take it seriously and thought as long as they have the government – similar to climate change, the media and institutional hysteria would pass soon enough through the populace like a virus itself and eventually it’d go away, they just had to play the game and manage and release the pressure.
So Boris ‘locked down’ but his people all still had parties and Morrison didn’t bother too much with ‘securing’ vaccines or making commonwealth employees ‘social distance’ or even let them work from home (this was a mini scandal in parts of the APS). They let the provincial governments under them run riot perhaps in a sort of ‘let the mob have it the way they want it’ mode of thinking. So Melbourne get their teeth kicked in by their government, Brisbane lives largely freely but kick the can down the road, London gets arrested on the park bench and bang pots together for the NHS like in Mao’s China.
But then this year they learned that no, this isn’t going to pass. Somethings different than 2009. Much different. And the public is now so fully propagandized and committed to the whole thing, and the entire establishment working in such perfect harmony on pushing it forward, that their puny national government’s had better show up or they are going to get lynched – like Trump.
And so they did.
But now having ceded control of the power over the people to everyone and his dog except them. Now they’re the target and they have no power to do anything about it.
I wouldn’t call Scummo and Blojo ‘non leftwing’.
I disagree. They are part of it. If they wanted to shut it down, all they need to do is tell the truth.

Correct. It’s all about 2030 and the great reset and their need to push back against Trump and Brexit. A punishment and a warning. I suspect the Australian political class has been fully on board with this for decades. Possibly as far back as Fraser whose government was hard left.
Maybe I have too much spare time, but I wonder about things,
such as
If any Black US president ever become so revered that they put her/him on coins, won’t the shiny silver make them look sort of bright and shiny and well, not black?

I remember a few years ago, while Mueller was ringmaster of that dog-and-pony show of his, my BiL telling me with a sneering self-satisfied sagacity and conviction that was more of a dare than anything else that inescapable charges would be delivered the next day and Trump would likely be in an orange jumpsuit by Friday. My BiL had been watching the ABC. The ABC told him what happened and what would happen.
Your BiL is munty? Sad!
The re-emerging of McPhee has reminded me how left wing the Fraser abomination was.
I always felt a cold contempt for Australia and Australians from McPhee and Menadue.

Greg Hunt 8th October.
The next stage, the general population stage of the booster program, we’re expecting advice from ATAGI before the end of October, and we’ll share that with the public. But we have over 150 million vaccines that are secured for the future, and so we’re able to implement that on the time frame and with the urgency and immediacy that is suggested by ATAGI, if and when they provide that, but we’re expecting that before the end of October.
Not a WOKE role model, this girl ……!
Simone Segouin, mostly known by her codename, Nicole Minet, was only 18-years-old when the Germans invaded. Her first act of rebellion was to steal a bicycle from a German military administration, and to slice the tires of all of the other bikes and motorcycles so they couldn’t pursue her. She found a pocket of the Resistance and joined the fight, using the stolen bike to deliver messages between Resistance groups.
She was an extremely fast learner and quickly became an expert at tactics and explosives. She led teams of Resistance fighters to capture German troops, set traps, and sabotage German equipment. As the war dragged on, her deeds escalated to derailing German trains, blocking roads, blowing up bridges and helping to create a German-free path to help the Allied forces retake France from the inside. She was never caught.
Segouin was present at the liberation of Chartres on August 23, 1944, and then the liberation of Paris two days later. She was promoted to lieutenant and awarded several medals, including the Croix de Guerre. After the war, she studied medicine and became a pediatric nurse. She is still going strong, and this October (2021) she turned 96.

Only lefties could manage to produce weed so inefficiently that illegal operators, who are always at risk of being busted and losing all their gear, can grow the stuff for half the price the government-regulated shops charge.
Same experience with rapidly increasing tobacco excise here in Australia.
He believed Sarah Ferguson? Sad.
They’ve joined the lie now, but in any case no it’s not that simple. If Boris Johnson or Scott Morrison ‘told the truth’ today they’d have the entire American state apparatus, the WHO, EU, China (I repeat myself), the media, the public health apparatus globally and locally, the AMA and equivalents openly calling them murderers.
But I’m talking about last year anyway.
They stupidly probably thought this was just going to be used get rid of Trump then it’d go away once that was achieved and the Tamiflu 2.0 danegeld was paid. That the public was just having an media / WHO / Democrat – ginned up hysteria and they just needed to ‘manage’ their way through it while having parties back at the office until it settled down in six months or a year.
Except once everyone in the public health and ‘left’ realised how perfectly the propaganda had worked and how deeply it had penetrated they thought they’d push forward as far as they can. And by not telling the truth about it and dispersing their power to the public health and bureaucratic classes, they’d now are held hostage in their castles with a ginned up covid mob outside and a ‘court’ that is actively against them.
But legalisation doesn’t undo networks of organised criminals or undo their corrupting influences.
We’ll see more of this growing out of the networks established to sell under-the-counter cigarettes at half to two-thirds the cost of the taxed variety.
In a certain Western suburb there is even a price war going on between buttleggers’ sales outlets. Manchester Reserve, smuggled in from England and comparable to Camel Lights (which are no longer legally available), were $20. Now they are $18 as market forces and competition kick in for the sly smokers’ dollar.
Crims understand supply and demand, unlike the prime minister and his clown show cabinet.
Doesn’t look like they expected it keep coming back in waves, pfizer et al probably couldn’t believe their luck. Trump went down, although they still had to rig the election and Hong Kong fell without a shot fired.
Scomo himself is massively pro-vaxx so he’s totally happy to go along with all of this madness now. He also possibly hates the Australian people because of the bushfire response, and his administration is full to the brim of grifters and globalist nation hating filth.
That’s broadly how the thing unfolded.
In the UK – which set the pattern Moron followed closely in early 2020 – the politics was all about ‘flattening the curve’ and protecting the ‘treasured and universally loved NHS’.
This in turn was driven by the long-running scare politics that says the Tories are trying to privatise the UK’s Health system – a scare that’s still running hot.
Economic, social and public health considerations have always been secondary to party politics – particularly ‘doing something’ with minimum blame.
The doctariat and Pharma-windfalls (which we’ve adopted in spades) are the logical creations of that process.
It’s an interesting theory and would explain a few things about our handlers behavior (see Boris). The elections is where all this will pan out. If we don’t get a hung parliament on our side, then Oz is 100% cooked.
You might want to read Ben Irvine.
“No one will really understand politics until they understand that politicians are not trying to solve our problems. They are trying to solve their own problems—of which getting elected and re-elected are number one and number two. Whatever is number three is far behind.”
Thomas Sowell
Neil Ferguson himself is on record saying they could not believe that people in the west accepted what they did (and are doing) to us. The immense global public health bureaucratic class saw that the people were compliant and decided to go all in on their long dreamed of ‘new normal’ (a utopian vision of a data driven, ‘scientific’ state of mass surveillance, and control to create perfect illness and crime free cities – using their much admired Chinese autocratic method of governance) and here we are.
They were telling us in plain language last March that this is what they were doing and why.
Trump, Boris and co should have united in opposition to it but their own base: older people (boomers – sorry it’s true) got spooked and revolted against the idea of doing the basics only. They demanded action. Lock up the young people! Was the cry and without their base the interloper non-leftwing ‘leaders’ could and would not rally against the vast establishment. And also they thought it would just fizzle out once Trump was gone and they hated him so didn’t care too much.
So they handed over the power of every national government to everyone else but them, and now they don’t have any real power themselves to end this.
More good news: Coronavirus Australia live news: Perrottet: Now is our moment to live with virus
Also, the final piece, was that when they did feebly try and put the brakes on, hard-left local governments – NY and Victoria spring to mind immediately – magically killed thousands of old people in Aged care homes with Covid by deliberately sending it in then goading and mocking them national leaders about it.
These people mean business. And “Scommo”certainly didn’t have the balls to take on that level of commitment to a cause.
never mess with a french girl
Being the grauniad, Bliar’s NuLabour auctioning off the sacred NHS’s profitable bits for quick bux
is never worth a mention.
that’s off narrative, what the?
What a condescending wanker. Mandates are not how you treat ‘adults’.
Plus the jokes on him. The higher the vax rate the higher the covid rate. NSW will be in full lockdown before winter.
Plus, once they take NSW ‘freedom’ again, they’ll blame everyone not taking the ‘booster’ every 3 to 4 months.
On fire, twostix.
He’s a politician – treat with extreme caution.
Having coerced millions into receiving an experimental medical therapy on pain of losing their employment he now says “we are going to treat you like adults”.
Condscending prat.
Snap, Razey.
Not sure why this is good news. He’s cornered into mandating everyone gets the next doses because ‘staying open was a reward for the state’s high vaccination rate’.
He’s endorsed the August response.
I liked messing with French girls.
You’re a funny guy, oaf.
Indeed.
It’s often difficult to explain the potency of this scare in UK politics.
In Australia, for example, very few people would have a deep seated, almost visceral affection for their local hospital/GP clinic, far less the health system more generally.
In the UK, soshul meja pictures of weepy nurses, giving each other back rubs and hugz, are up there with Labrador puppies.
He’s another fake Christian. If he legislated against mandates and coercion, then yeah he may be redeemed. But this is all hot air bullshit.
Australia has fallen.
This was known from early this year when Moderna was released in the USA. I think it was Robert malone who first drew attention to the early “signals” that there were problems also with this vaccine. Of course, no one in our medical bureaucracy (TGA and AMA) seem to have the ability to notice what is happening OS. Or if they do – they don’t care or contractually, can’t do a thing about it.
Code for: You will get the booster as many times as we tell you, or else.
Yeah I know but what is left and right in 2021?
“Leaders not liked by the technocratic elite, their bureaucratic Brahmins and the middle class Twitter / Guardian reading office worker drone lickspittles who have seized total control of western societies” is too much to type.
I have a sneaking suspicion that the Hunchback will make the gene therapy shot mandates permanent.
Politically it would be no problem.
True stix- I would have thought concern for the working man and his family would have been a bit left once. Now it’s racist, redneck and deplorable.
Friend in WA (2 x jab) very very upset for her daughter in NSW (3 x jab) who cannot go home for Christmas. They all got the jabs because they believed the lie govt and media told them that having the jabs means life will return to normal.
Sadly, the penny hasn’t dropped for any of them.
Without comment.
Disagree with Sowell on this one. Number one is to get rich. Number two is to get laid. Number three is to get elected/re-elected. Maybe #1 and #2 are in the wrong order (thinking of several particular pollies). Really is quite fun to see the “domestic” disasters these people get into. Of course you mainly only get to read about the righties for the obvious reasons.
Morrison and the Liberal Party’s problem – I’m assuming, merely for argument’s sake, that they have non-negotiable core beliefs here – is that the electorate is moving incrementally leftwards and has been for decades.
The lazy politician’s answer to this is to chase the electorate leftwards rather than attempt to pursuade it that you have a better way.
Being lazy they’ve opted for chasing but in the process they’ve shed a massive number of traditional voters over the last decade.
It’s the Liberal’s version of Labor’s problem with the Green vote.
And it means Australia is ripe for political alternatives.
Bruce, those benefits are conditional on getting elected in the first place, so Sowell still applies.

Heap big buyers remorse incoming in three…..two….
They’re not parties. People are not forming conga lines and dancing around the room. They’re a wrap for the year. You get together with colleagues and talk shop and share a bit of banter over a few drinks. It’s a healthy thing for an organisation. Boris takes the Morrison route and caves. How many of the press reporting on this will be doing the same at the end of the year. Boris should appear at his next presser with a colourful boa draped across his shoulders and tell them to get stuffed.
Top Australian doctor, Dr Zoe Hyde has issued a warning to people who have been vaccinated with the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine, stating that there’s “little protection” against symptomatic infection.
Not a top doctor and these jabs aren’t vaccines .
Another untouched area of critique is nations being carved up into essentially ‘zones’. This should be fodder for arguments. People being confined to zones and ‘regions’ plays large in utopian dreamers plans for the future.
One of the most powerful rights we secured over the last 600 years wasn’t necessarily free speech, it was the freedom to leave, to leave the estate, our job, our parish, our province, our state our country.
Wiley covid-dodgers know well that there is an effort underway to make it impossible to ‘escape’, your LGA, soon your street, by street zone.
