Dover, my Christmas present has just been delivered.
Well done to The Oz.
In March 2020, a profile of the typical Covid victim emerged from Italy. The average decedent was eighty years old, with approximately three comorbidities such as heart disease, obesity or diabetes. The young had little to worry about; the survival rate for the vast majority of the population was well over 99 per cent.
That portrait never significantly changed.
The data out of South Africa, after five weeks of Omicron spread, suggest that Omicron should be a cause for celebration, not fear. Its symptoms are mild to non-existent in the majority of the infected, especially the vaccinated; hospitalisation rates are over nine times lower than for previous Covid strains; deaths are negligible.
(Heather Mac Donald from The Spectator)
She goes on to describe the authorities tactics in the deliberate manufacture of fear.
An excellent read.

Qld MPs exempt from vaccine mandate in Parliament
December 12, 2021
Unvaccinated people will be banned from State Parliament but MPs will be exempt under a directive that comes into effect next week.
“You’re all talk and no action, Bern.”
That should be…..”You’re all talk and no action, Barnaby.”
I’m very fond of you Cardi and I like Vikki’s columns….a lot. I think your daughter has her head screwed on the right way but any lingering respect I had for Barnaby evaporated when he capitulated to the net zero nonsense.
In WA, MPs have to get vax’d to get into the chamber.
I don’t know how that works (constitutionally? democratically?) but I guess Labor Labor Labor has the numbers to change whatever “instrument” is needed to enforce that?
MPs who fail to meet WA’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate deadline to be locked out of parliament
By Nicolas Perpitch
Posted Wed 24 Nov 2021
Cohenite:
2022 is going to be a Hell Year.
The ME, Taiwan, and Europe all experiencing shit times.
Where is Steele Rudd when you need him?
From his wiki entry:
FitzHenry notes that Davis’s satirical depiction of individual members of the Queensland Parliament was so close to reality that he was almost called to the Bar of the House of Parliament for breach of parliamentary privilege.[15]
In effect, Rudd (the pen name of Arthur Hoey Davis) lampooned the Queensland Parliament so thoroughly and accurately in 1908 they got butthurt enough to try and legally summons him for holding Parliament in contempt.
P –
I just don’t understand where the “power” comes from to lock out non vax’d MPs. I can only think of one or two who aren’t (the eminently solid citizen Nick Goiran and I think a Greens MP). Did they have to change the Standing Orders? Talk about taxation without representation!
It reminds me of the crap they’re trying to enforce in Canberra with “professional standards” and training for MPs. I get, if you break the law, you get tried. But if you launched a tirade against a staffer there’s no HR to call and complain. The standard is the electorate.
While everyone is huddled at home scared shitless of a bad flu and nervously waiting for covid numbers on the daily brainwash at 6pm, Iran are starting uranium enrichment, the Ukraine is going to get butt hurt by Putin and Taiwan will be renamed South China.
All of this with poopy pants in charge…
Like “private schools”, doctors surgeries in Australia are quasi-government entities who drown in taxpayer funded cash, massive protection from competition and are essentially a closed industry.
If they want to arbitrarily discriminate in support of political war on a segment of the population – then let access to medicare’s $$$ be remove from them and see how well they go.
I’ll gladly support requiring all graduates having to demonstrate competence in arts subjects, if in exchange all graduates have to have passed a first year unit in logic, set theory, and the elementary functions. In particular, they have to understand frequency and phase, so they can clearly see the idiocy of renewables.
Epimusicologists reckon we have to slow the spread of OmiGod or the “HOSPITALS WILL BE OVERRUN.”
These sicko’s are like the crazy Mums who keep kids sick so they appear saintly and have their disturbed ego stroked.
Go away freaks and we’ll get better in a short time.
Inthink it’s just another thing squeezed in under the Emergency Act and its Health Orders. So long as the appropriate “For the Good Governance of The State of Western Australia” figleaf (and any human rights figleafs) and boilerplate statements are included, then pretty much anything goes…
From the Daily Telegraph business section:
“Another major building company has folded leaving hundreds of home owners in three states in the lurch and subbies owed millions of dollars.”
BA Murphy is just one company going down the gurgler because of wayward government policies. Never forget the COVID and Energy debacles.

This shows in ‘democracy’ – which is what we’ve suddenly lurched into almost without noticing (a 50+1 suicide pact all powerful state with no external limitations) – a requirement for protection is a people who have a significant group of organisable belligerent lunatics in their ranks (lunatics from the bugman establishment’s perspective). It’s urban mob vs non-urban mob. And QLD can organise a mob and a half.
Democratic societies are violent and ugly. The threat of violence by the mob posing as the state is naked, and the threat of violence by mobs – directed at people who refuse to accept the 50+1 ‘democractic’ suicide pacts of the government, or people forming defensive mobs in the form of flash mobs, cults, guilds and fraternal groups who operate as mini states within states and try to protect and shield the people in them will be daily life.

The remark about low BP at 8:00 and the enthusiasm of docs to increase volume/pressure in trauma patients was something we learned the hard way in Vietnam. Trying to get BP back to normal would blow off clots and the patient would bleed out.
(My information comes from 1990 – 2010 and may be out of date. Correct me if I’m wrong.)
The other aspect of trauma recovery was the efforts to keep the patient warm. It was felt that the ‘shocked cold patient’ was a natural response to massive trauma, and should be assisted.
If anyone has further information/studies on this, I’d be pleased to read it.
Now, if some MPs have chosen not to be vaxxed then why are their choices respected but no one elses?
And it is not as if politicians can by any stretch be described as people of good character. Perhaps one or two creep in unnoticed, but overwhelmingly they only advance in the party to even get to standing for seats by the party being assured that they are ‘sound’ – they they are like them. The party stinks of the pollie, and the pollie stinks of the party.
So their reasoning cannot be based on an ideal or a conviction. What is it?
The unholy Trinity of vaccine mandates
Spectator Australia – Graham Young – 23 December 2021 12:50 PM
Quite so, Cranky of Sydney.
At least Bananaby’s predecessor was honest, in that he didn’t talk out of both corners of his mouth like Bananaby.
He just loves the prestige of driving around sitting on those deep calfskin leather seats in C*2 and hoovering up that juicy little pay boost which will help with the private school fees for Family 2.0.
Hey voters! They’re laughing at you – yes, you, the “informed” individuals who elected them.
Remember, the first pollie to let that feline out the proverbial bag was none other than the Beetrooter – to quote:
“Demanding to know the vaxx status of feral pollies is unhelpful, I tells ya.”
In the meantime, utterly vile staggeringly stupid pieces of shit representing about 0.5% of the electorate are free to violently threaten certain segments of voters.
Sometimes, you just can’t help but wonder if you’ve gone to sleep and woken up in an especially bizarre version of hell.
Stop the bus, etc.
Health Hazzard complaining that workers are being abused. The abuse is really for you, Minister, and all in the government who almost completely stuffed up the response to COVID. Masks indoors and outdoors that don’t work, experimental vaccines that were supposed to work but don’t and now need boosters. Unnecessarily harsh travel restrictions which prevented husband and wife from going to the regions even when they or a family member had a house there. But top of the list should be the complete rejection of early treatment with known antiviral drugs.
Don’t come to us now saying we have to have a booster to be completely or at least substantially immunised. You had your chance, you said two jabs did the job, and now it’s all booster b/s. Then there’s the walk-back of PCR tests, probably responsible for a lot of false positives. What about natural immunity? No promotion at all of blood tests to see if we already have the antibodies. Silence.
Peoples, I know counterfactuals are “not helpful”, but let’s ponder this.
In 2020, if he was still PM – would Waffles Turnbuckle have set up “the National Cabinet”?
Would Ruddles?
Juliar?
Lotocoti:
I would hope that when people like the nurses in the photo retire and look back over their careers, they will have the guts to be ashamed of their actions.
I didn’t include the Yabbott, because we all know what he would’ve done. Bent over and begged to be administered the proverbial pineapple (rough end, of course).
If anyone has further information/studies on this, I’d be pleased to read it.
Winston try searching on this topic with respect to the Falklands war. There was a “body recovery” operation on Goose Green that underscored the deadliness of Vietnam era trauma treatment. They found a lot of men who had very low BP and who were very cold but alive thanks to not having been pumped full of plasma and warmed up.
Of course not.
We’d still probably be worshipping Kevni like the Romanians were forced to do with the Ceaucescus and North Korea with the Kims…
For as long as I can remember communists and “the left” have harped on and on and about “democracy”. When I was young it was a given that this was a Good Thing. Who could be against democracy? Democracy as sold was everyone having a right to vote and a right to have their say. Those stodgy old dinosaurs and institutions who didn’t like it were just holding onto their power and preventing us from having democractic utopia!
But this is what they were actually talking about. What we’re living in right now. A mob. Total power of the mob and they control the mob. No undemocratic “institutions” full of unelected old white men to stop them.
“Democracies” – as imagined by the leftwing and what we are now living in are inherently feminine in that they reward people with emotional and unrelenting verbal skills and networking ability and emoting over people who are inclined to risk taking, stoicism, introspection, competence and principles. They are materialist in that they reward “moving on” daily to a new novelty instead of moving slowing and allowing introspection and mulling over of options, and they are by nature passive aggressive to overtly menacing, violent and arbitrary.
Declared a state of emergency and named himself as the “temporary” president.
Would have convened a group of Svedish teenagers to discuss the problem.
there will be no national cabinet under a government that I lead!
What about natural immunity? No promotion at all of blood tests to see if we already have the antibodies. Silence.
I would gladly pay $1k for a test that would demonstrate that I had natural immunity, but the wreckers in charge can’t comprehend natural immunity.
That’s because he’s trying to make them be his personal private army of enforcers.
If he doesn’t like it he should stop doing that to them and it will stop.
With the cost of materials and council red tape, I am not surprised.
I have a friend trying to build a house. After seeing the amount of hoops Councils require you to jump through before you even start building, I think I’ll give it a miss.
Yep. I still have a vivid memory of being stuck in my ol’ man’s car listening to St Gough harp endlessly on about (after a deep Whitlamesque breath) “Parliamentary Democracy”.
It was of course, following the latter’s ignominious sacking by those many Lilliputians incapable of appreciating his towering greatness.
Anyone else remember the speech*? Ah, the joys of growing up in a family of political obsessives.
*I would sincerely hope that none of you do. Some traumatic childhood experiences are still too harrowing to revisit. 🙁
I would gladly pay $1k for a test that would demonstrate that I had natural immunity
No need to pay. Just get a referral from your local bulk biller and go to a pathology centre with it. I went in and the pathology people bulk billed as well!
The result back at the GPs was “no antibodies” so I went ahead with the two jabs of Astrozeneca since it’s not mRNA.
The gall of that bloated festering sack of shit.
What’s the point of an anti body test when the fucked in the head .gov doesn’t recognise it?
Lot’s of parallels with how the unvax’d are being treated and what happened to the Jews. If jabbers go too far down the rabbit hole, a lot of them wouldn’t mind if we are sent to death camps. See the comments in the video below.
I am in my mid 50s and always question how an educated sophisticated society could so easily become mass murderers with the majority of the populous sit in silent approval of their country men who commit such atrocities. In 2020 I see how easily a society can fall victim to this , you see I live in Melbourne Australia and am watching this playing out in my daily life.

Breaking news… potential ChinaFlu outbreak in Perth gaybar:
https://www.perthnow.com.au/news/coronavirus/wa-covid-cases-people-across-perth-told-to-isolate-after-latest-scare-c-5063267
UAP will be running a candidate in every seat and their platform is no vaccine mandates or passports, no masks and no segregation. Why on earth would you then choose to support someone you know is Labor/Green that may promise to do something you like but, even if they did, would then carry on the same or worse as the current mob? Why?
UAP has zero chance against Hazzard.
The fake independent does.
So, I’m thinking all of the cleaning up I did for Xmas might be cancelled due to DOOM of Covid being spread around Perth on Saturday night…
Yes Mosman is fuckwit Central. Wanna be new south head road but just not quite. Lot’s of dinks in parasitic ‘professions’
Obviously driven by a hundred thousand QLD holiday PCR tests.
A testdemic.
QLD has created this with its border rules. We are the most powerful country in Australia. Behold our reach into your puny little countries. with the merest tap on a keyboard and push of a “publish” button on the QLD Health website we can drive your populations and governments into terror and madness!
From an agent in the field:

No.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that…

All I could find that wasn’t paywalled or scrubbed. Convenient, eh?
O’Micron is so spreadable an intimate gay bar would be quite a fertile prospect for a budding little virus. And the denizens might not be quite so forthcoming to be tested. Could be an interesting time ahead for Mr Sneakers. Not a good look persecuting magic people but.
Yeah. 🙁
At least you aren’t shunting a major freight-forwarder’s yard in 42+ degree heat (it keeps rising!) on Boxing Day.

Poor nannanna, slumming it in quarantine.
Lying liars gotta lie.
And…just in time for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day services…it all starts again.
My heart is in my boots.
Not sure if already noted, but QLD’s CHO has today said everyone will get Omicron and the virus will then become endemic. Is that the first piece of common sense we’ve heard from a sitting CHO/CMO in nearly two years?
I’m hearing there’s 1400 close contacts to gaybar Chinaflu…
Hmmm.
Calli as soon as O’Micron started it was pretty obvious what they were up to. A crime to fit the punishment. For all we know this whole national cabinet abomination could have been planned years ago.
Dover, there’s a piece circulating on twitter saying that unvaccinated people are over represented in rural areas & that’s a factor in the stats.
I personally don’t give a fuck what these political grubs say or their trained medical/media monkeys say, I ain’t getting the experimental jab.
Fuck them.
A bird I know in NY has just sent to the WhatsApp group that she’s in her second night of omicron.
She says she’s fine but has had trouble sleeping possibly because of the amount of vitamins etc she’s shoved in.
Other than that, literally a runny nose & sore throat which for NY this time of year is not unexpected.
In her 30s and in ok condition, but definitely not what you’d call fit.
In clown world Lex Luther comes to the rescue.
Off the topic de jour but worth noting…
I hope this retired Colonel and former Trump defense adviser is wrong about Biden’s plans for the Ukraine, but I’m sure he’s right abour the Russian army’s fighting capabilities:
Slowly the idea percolates into previously impenetrable CHO skulls that the vaccines aren’t much good, and that the vaxxed are all going to get the crud. Which begs the question when will the trusting vaxxed work out they’ve been had?
That’s a lotta bummin’ going on.
WA Dear Leader to give update at 215pm (AWST)…
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!! 😛
More important question that gets begged. When will the restrictions upon non-vaxxed people get dropped and if not how long will it take some intrepid journo to ask why.
Good article at Quadrant On-Line about the “Faux Centre”.
They have known this AT LEAST AS LONG AS IT HAS BEEN DISCUSSED HERE.
Longer, much longer is my gut instinct, based on their litany of lies and misdirections and “do as I say but not as I do”s. We have been on to them for months now.
Sorry to shout, but these animals get zero “benefit of the doubt” from me. Whatever the source of the O’ micron variant, it has been a way to restore our battered way of life, but they have chosen to stick to tyranny.
And if they do what effect will it have on future vaccination programs that may be legit?
In the UK? Maybe Bern, who knows, but the stats I’ve seen elsewhere, suggest the similar pattern but with 2 doses doing worse than boosted and one dose only.
Sort of funny that following what seemed a wait and see approach by Morrison yesterday, the Premiers just went their own way today and reintroduced masks, etc. over Christmas and the holidays. If you’re in retail and hospitality, and you still vote for the Uniparty, you deserve all you get.
That’ll get Lithpy McClown all hot ‘n’ bothered.
I don’t know…just because a person wears a white coat doesn’t mean they aren’t susceptible to panic and fear, particularly – dare I say it? – the female of the species who seem to dominate the field (also epidemiology). Gerrard is, afaik, the only state CHO with advanced qualifications relating to infectious diseases and hands-on experience in vaccine trials. He might just have a better grip on this than the rest. He’s certainly making Sutton, Chant et al look like the amateurs they are. Time will tell.
sitting by the ute radio waiting for sneakers to lisp his way thru another podium appearance.
News Radio, parading as usual BBC which would as usual provide 3/4 of their content:
“That from the BBC, on exactly what we can expect out of the omnicon variant.”
Exactly what we can expect. Condescension wrapped in self regard, backlit by hubris.
Do me Greek style.
A podcast mentioned a VORB factor in figuring out the relative success or failure in dealing with covid in the US on a state basis.
Leaving out NY because of the fuck up with the retirement homes, if your state has a low vaccination count, , there’s a lot of obesity, it’s a republican state and there are lots of blacks, you will do worse in dealing with covid.
V = Vaccination
0 = Obesity
R = Republican
B = Blacks.
It seems to work, at first blush.
John H @11:13am, thank you for the link to the Toxoplasmosis research at Walter and Eliza.
Which will require the Chinese method of COVID detection that increases the likelihood there will be many super spreader encounters in gay bars.

Douglas Macgregor has been pushing for US military reform for around 30 years. Like all who go against the establishment, his career suffered, and the Old Guard successfully resisted almost everything he proposed. I’m not up on recent developments i Russia, but I would not be surprised to find that the prophet was honoured more in Russia than in the US.
Then he should have been ahead of his less talented colleagues, not playing catch-up.
Sorry, Roger. Not buying it.
Peoples, it’s an (admittedly pretty ordinary) attempt to “sanitise” Pol Dot’s quote from a site of unknown providence above.
Still doesn’t do justice to how less than gruntled I currently am upon hearing this wonderful news.
I can’t believe it took the morons eight days to bow to the inevitable screechiness. I predicted about four days max, but suspected it would most likely be just before Christmas day.
The irredeemable shitsacks are nothing if not entirely predictable.
Morrison might be disliked by the premiers because he and Frydenberg have been blaming them for everything gone wrong while taking credit for the good outcomes. There seems to have been a change in Morrison over recent weeks. Can’t describe it but he seems more muted and less plucky.
Ermagerd, The Plagueist is a French Backpacker who came from Queensland!
And he’s a Deltard!
When we get a proper government elected, I’d like to see all the doctors and nurses who have continued injecting their patients to be temporarily suspended until they publicly assemble and swear the Hippocratic Oath.
All those doctors and nurses who resigned or were stood down for refusing the vaxx would be returned to their former positions with all benefits restored.
I’m not even allowed to step inside my doctor’s surgery.
I’m probably going to have to find a new GP, which in this part of the world isn’t easy.
Though I’ve never heard of a ‘Strong Positive’ PCR test before.
And woe of woes, the naughty man is unvaccinated….

Er…that was what I said, he is ahead of his CHO colleagues.
He’s talking about treating people at home, keeping hospital beds for the really vulnerable (previously all QLD cases were hospitalised) and telling people they’re all going to be exposed one way or another but it’s mild so don’t panic.

This following a reintroduction of quarantine for international travel and QR codes.
Clearly Perrottet does not run NSW. Chant and Hazzard do.
And now all Good Comrades are to wear masks in all public and indoor settings (including workplaces) in Perth and Peel unless engaging in vigorous exercise from midnight tonight until the 28th.
Let’s Go Mark.
Yes, and I made a comment earlier about the hubris that reigns among all the professions today.
They may be better credentialled than previous generations but their knowledge base is very limited.

Nsw dropped the three day isolation for international arrivals again on Tuesday.
Okay, let me go out on a limb and make a prediction that may turn out wrong. I also reserve the right to change my mind. I’m starting to believe, Gavin Newsom will be the Demonrat candidate in 24. They will try to simply ignore the recall.
I know, Rabz. I was, and still am, cranky.
Gerard may be the best thing since sliced bread, but as I understand it he was singing from a different songsheet a week ago.
I’d go find some quotes from this very blog, but I’m in the middle of crispy pork belly with apple sauce and hungry youngsters about to descend. 😀
Roger.
A smallish euro flogging in the Ukraine might be a handy way for Bunter Hidens dad to abandon Taiwan
A mysterious fatal accident?
Hopefully not. There are few (if any) men of principle left in that utterly debased “profession”.
Sneakers says masks for all will stop the spread of the virus, “If it is out there.” And all the other States are doing it, apparently.
Now, our Covid Manny here went partying on Saturday, felt ‘off’ on Sunday, and only bad enough to go get tested Wednesday.
I think the horse has bolted on that, Marky-baby…
Also…
Politicians are now not only ordering you to get now highly suspect medical treatments which they’ve coerced and lured the majority of the population into getting, they’re fiddling with the medicine itself.
Lol. Don’t blog drunk. Don’t cook angry.

I subscribe wholeheartedly to your doctrine. I am onside with your take on things, far more than less.
But your choice of “music” is irredeemably shit.
Just sayin’.
I thought some here still insist that a significant part of the community, 80% in fact, won’t get covid.
And the people who celebrate it.
I don’t know what Biden’s thinking on Ukraine.
And for some reason Victoria Nuland isn’t returning my calls.

End of MaskDan 0600 on 28 December
Rog, I don’t even have one. Wouldn’t even know how or where to start looking for one, thank goodness.
I’d rather die screeching in hideous pain in a gutter than put myself at the mercy of our monstrous “health system”.
If that makes me a bad person, then so be it.
Fire weather warning – as sure as God made little green apples, there will be some fvcking moron who doesn’t understand what a “fire weather warning” is.
Reporterette asks in effect, “Can we expect you to pull this again once we open up on February 5th?”
Sneakers: “I hope we make it to February 5th without community transmission…”
JC,
Really? I think you’ll find he died of an accident and Hills will be the nominee. Equally wacky as an idea, for mine.
But the underlying point is far from moot…. if they can’t have Joe, seriously can’t win the Kamala, and ButtBoy is out of the running for being a complete loser, who – other than Obama 2 (The Wookie) – do they have to choose from?
This is the outcome of the Obama 1 cult, which delivered two terms, but decimated the D’rats at every lower level of government.
Isn’t he going to stand for parliament too? Perhaps he too busy, like Cardi.
I don’t think that would be the case, all of his recent public pronouncements seem to disagree with the current lunacy. He wasn’t in the Big Boy’s Club, hence his removal from office. His decision to authorise an audit of the BoM temperature records was his last action, Greg Hunt shut that down the day Turnbull moved into the Lodge.
For goodness’ sake – is this a sensible use of whatever time he may still have on this planet?
Unfortunately, he has zero chance of being elected, like various other courageous Cats who’ve stood for public office.
That’s great Rabz.
I was the same…until I was 50 I hardly had a day sick.
In the near decade since I’ve developed a number of chronic conditions that require management.
Now my doctor will only “see” me over the phone, which is obviously unsatisfactory.
I’m trying not to get too worked up about it because will likely only exacerbate my conditions.
Be that as it may, have a great Christmas!
COVID walks into a gay bar

Brandon won’t have a brain by 24. There will barely be a functional brain-stem .

I don’t think The Kenyan’s wife will run. It’s just my guess.
Who else is there? Look, I think it’s Newsom but I also recall the 92 election with Clinton making a big msm assisted run so someone could show up from nowhere and becomes the darling of the msm. Factor in the cheating and it’s odds on there will be another demonrat president.
Yes, that was the case early last year. However, the injections have probably played holy hell with that. No one fully knows the effect, but any damage to the immune system will counteract normal immunity.
Rog – I’m sorry to hear it.
At least you have your family and your Gibbo.
Count those blessings, Squire.
I reckon it’s bullshit, but she was old.

How close?
Giggles will very, very likely end up getting the Gig anyway when Sleepy is finally unable to be propped up any further.
There is nobody else who is as dependent on and strongly in thrall to the string-pullers within the DNC compared to any other possible contender. Too many agendas in play to even think of parachuting in somebody else
The infighting will tear them all apart, but not before the world gets President Kamala Harris in 2022 or 23 (or worse, immediately prior to the 2024 elections), and the most definitive example of the Peter Principle in recent human history.
Perhaps they just hate christmas.
Yes, they do take joy in reducing the plate take by Cheaster christians.

– Who is AIDS here? Move over, there is a new sheriff in town. But you can stay close by, I might need your help.
[Arse]Cheek-to-[arse]cheek, the way Sneakers and WA Health are carrying on…
I bet you a steak that Newsom is not the candidate JC.
A Sydney steak, not one of those things you call a steak in Melbourne.
Bluddee hell, Marky – so you won’t be a regular at Rabz’ Radio Show? 😕
Only the unvaxxed. The vaxxed appear to get their natural coronavirus immunity reset. I suspect it’s because the vaccines are causing the relevant lymphocytes to die once they dock with the spike protein.
The problem with the vaccination is it is an instant flood of active agent, which is ok for antibody production but very bad for killer T cells. The T cells dock to the cells they think are infected then go boom. Result no more of that variety until they are regenerated. Whereas in a viral infection you have an initial very low number of spike proteins which build up as the virus starts to replicate. So the existing corona-virus attuned T cells can catch and kill them without depleting their population too much. Hence the 80% with natural immunity based on Diamond Princess data. Unfortunately the vaxxed have lost that, it looks like.
Okay, but Bern either way it sounds like I will lose on the bet. Win or lose I have to fly up there either to pay up to receive payment of the steak. Okay though you’re on. A Sydney steak it is then.
COVID walks into a gay bar….’you look young, over 18?’ ‘Yeah mate I’m 19.’
omg WA … did McClown just ban dancing for your own good?
Must read before that Christmas lunch:
Bern….that has to be a Bistecca steak.
Headlines we won’t want be around see in eighty (?) years time:
“Dan Xi Ping, Viktoriastan’s oldest personage, has died aged 135 at home at the foot of his most beloved stairwell”

It could be the story of 22

Thanks Gremlins (again) …
Nick Coatesworth has been tweeting that for a week.
OK Cats. I got the details wrong.
MaskDan in effect from 6pm tonight until 6am on Tuesday 28 December.
Masks in all indoor public places and public transport and all big events (including music festivals) and nightclubs are cancelled. And no dancing unless you are at a wedding(!). And if you have been anywhere within 250km of Perth (i.e. Perth and Peel region) since the 16th and you go elsewhere, you get to wear the farce nappy, too.
So yes, Matrix. They have indeed forbidden us to dance for our own good…
The beginning of the promised M@rburg outbreak?
I’m not a professional or anything like that, but I hear it’s a wrong way to go about it in places like that.
Bern….that has to be a Bistecca steak.
There’s a better one.
Wood Cut, part of the Crown complex.
Same style, better taste.
Someone said it sounds like the regular cold.
Sore joints and muscle pain.
Runny, stuffed up nose.
Cough and sneezing.
Slightly elevated fever.
The problem is the people showing up at hospitals who should be treated at home.

No one checked our vaccination status. That has caused us to worry about going to Noosa restaurants
Australia is a sick and dangerous culture.
Thank God all of our heroes are dead and don’t have to see what arseholes have done to their legacy.
Amazing that people here are still falling for the paradigm.
There is no immunity to covid because there is no virus.
The vaccine is toxic but it doesn’t improve or ameliorate any immunity we might have to the non-existent virus.
The numbers/proportions of cases and hospitalizations and deaths with or due to covid are meaningless artifacts of how testing is targeted, done and collected. There is rarely ever any useful information in epidemiology and that goes 100 fold for covid.
If you can’t personally observe it, you’re better off ignoring it. You can (and many people have) observe vaccine injuries (ie temporal associations). You cannot do the same for virus injuries. We will never know the magnitude of vaccine injuries but we do know you’re infinitely more likely to be harmed by the vaccine than the virus.
Hahahahahahhahahahahahahahaha
It’s North Korea of the Southern Hemisphere. Funny thing is no one really cares.
Restaurants dead again in Brisbane, there was a flurry from the Fully Vaxxed to test out their Vaxy Privilege, but it didn’t hold up and now the Eateries are deserted.
Bern
That’s true. The hospitals could do a few quick tests and send the fuckers home though. I’d imagine, the most important would be the oxygen saturation rate.
Beryl G was such a stupid hideously ugly harpy that she would happily upscreech at her infuriating interminable presstitute conferences that “singing and dancing are still banned”.
The most useless obnoxious destructive dunderheads in human history – and we’re blessed with them.
I’ve given up even contemplating what the hell we’ve evidently done to deserve them. To paraphrase that noted philosopher, C3PO, “We seem to have been made to suffer”.

It’s Xmas, so please don’t annoy with very unnecessary stupid shit.
Imminent overproportional death and destruction for all. Allegedly.
Mandatory passport examinations for work and anywhere fun.
All except MPs that is, who get to accrue pension time and assorted salary windfalls without disclosing a thing. Barnaby Joyce is in favour of this, which we know because he said to make MPs do what normal Australians do ‘would just lead to arguments’.
That hypocritical, dishonest cretin can stay in the US forever, as far as I’m concerned. Someone here said earlier that his family’s Christmas would be disadvantaged otherwise, and that he’d been ‘stitched up’.
Well. Given that hundreds of thousands of families and millions of people in this wide brown land are not only set up for a less than ideal festive season, but have had their families ripped to bits, homes and businesses lost and lives’ work set on fire by Joyce and his ilk, I will now turn to bern’s immortal words of several weeks back:
This is what happens when you attempt to nuzzle at the world’s most saggy ukranian knee knockers.

It’s not possible our clowns don’t know this. So it’s all coercion for coercion sake.
Yeah, the Pandemic is a Hoax and a Fraud, but people have bought into it big time.
I read that Australians led the way in accepting BankCard back in then 70s and EFTPOS Cards later on.
Jan. 1 appears to be D/Day
If it saves just one interior designer, it will all be worth it.
Ed, no stupid shit!
I need to find a way of getting over my seething anger at not being able to see the kids for Christmas.
The revenge scenarios have taken over my brain.
I would love a drink but going there could be a disaster.
Eddles – it’s supposed to be a festive time of the year. Feel free to post some comments about your favourite weeds (no, not that one).
Disagree.
It’s quite possible, even likely.
They take orders like everybody else, if they get a bit bolshy there’s always someone waiting to come forward to destroy their career.
If that’s all it was, the thing would be over.
There’s still too much money to be made out of Australia to allow people to shut it down out of spite.
A man of the people. All hail the great man!
NSW hospitals don’t use monoclonal antibody treatments.
So what’s the point of showing up to one?
NSW public hospitals don’t use them.
Bons – join the club.
And have a drink, FFS. If you start shouting uncontrollably, then you’re being a normal person attempting to exist in abnormal times.
The problem is the people showing up at hospitals who should be treated at home.
I understand that many with fairly mild Covid symptoms are going to their GPs who won’t see them & tell them to go to hospital “if they are ill’.But because of the panic that has been whipped up, I don’t blame people for them going to ER, even if, by normal standards, they are not really of hospital level illness.
On the other and, people are also told, after getting positive PCR, to go home & go to hospital only “if you are ill”. It is confusing to people, who are already panicky. So, not surprising that ER in most public hospitals are at crisis level.
It is equally not surprising if, in the past, unfortunates who have co-morbidities become seriously ill, and sometimes die at home, because of this confusion. It is also tragic that a minority have in the past become seriously ill unexpectedly on the 8th day (of Alpha & Delta variants) with cytokine storm because of this lack of information from “our experts”.
The whole saga is a serious indictment of our so-called “experts.”
Yes. By poisoning.
If that’s changed, please tell me.
It would change ones strategy.
Wasn’t aware there was one.
The most terrifying words you will ever hear;
“Hi, I’m from the Gov’t and I’m here to help.”
But don’t even think about singin’ or dancin’, you stupid proles. There will not be any of that. 🙂
Hi, I’m from the Gov’t and I’m here to help
My advice would be to stock up on P:anadol and/or Aspirin just in case there’sca crackdown on Chemists.
That’s if you’re not Fully Vaxxed.
From what I’m hearing, most people are, altho grudgingly.

Finish the punchline…
COVID walks into a gay bar…
Barman says “Hey, diseases use the back door.”
Dr John was lucky not to do some porridge for Elderslie Finance.

Yes, I think that’s where the penny finally dropped – several wounded on a patrol had to be left in the open because efforts to recover them were stopped as the Argies shot at rescuers. They were finally given aid after about ?10 hours in the snow when the Paras went in with the bayonet, refusing to accept surrenders from the Argentinian troops.
Off COVID topic, but today I learned Shakespeare got his inspiration for Henry V walking through the camp the night before Agincourt from something Arminius did before another battle with the Romans years after Teutoburg forest.
Pretty cool.
Newsome is too pretty; outside of the gaybars and turd media outlets he is reviled.
If the demorats had any sense they’d beg Tulsi; but they don’t and she is uncontrollable; like a wild mare or a wanton gypsy wench. Sorry, got distracted.
Obama’s hubbie is also disliked outside the best circles and looks and acts like nurse Ratched, on steroids and with balls.
That leaves shrillary, or one of the squad. The demorats are that mad. Or would be. As I said the military will control all future elections in the US.
That’s good market research for my proposed Village People tribute band.
Gee, thanks, Bern.
Given my love of Shakespeare, how did I not know that? 😕
And why would there be a crackdown on pharmacies, Grigory?
Honestly, you as as stupid as Chad Thunderbrain and his bullshit about “Disease isn’t real [Because it doesn’t fit my narrative about everything you suffer is trauma you experienced because you are weak!] but vaccine injuries are [Because despite me thinking that trauma is weakness, it fits my narrative that vaccines are bad, mmkay?]!”
