You don’t consider forcing an untested drug on entire populations a crime against humanity?
Would you apply that rule to new unapproved drugs being tested on cancer patients?
There is a huge difference here. Cancer patients who have a very poor prognosis are a far different cohort than the general population which is generally otherwise healthy.
People with that outlook have nothing to lose is trying an untested option.
With Covid vaccines it is becoming more and more obvious that they were imposed upon the population when it was not properly tested. We no know this because the proponents were stating that they were both safe and effective in preventing the spread of the virus. This is demonstrably untrue.
Worse though the proponents actively suppressed the use of any alternative treatments. In fact people were told to isolate untreated unless their condition deteriorated to the point where they needed hospitalisation.
Treatments like hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin were legally suppressed and vitamin D was ridiculed. All treatments that are safe and cheap.
The ban on hydroxychloroquine in Qld has been quietly revoked and a randomised double blind control trial of Vitamin D with frontline health workers has shown a 78% reduction in infection and a 67% reduction in hospitalisation in those using Vitamin D supplements.
Craig Kelly was drummed out of the Liberal Party for advocating treatments like Vitamin D and he has been proven to be correct.
This is the biggest cock up in health policy in history.

Time Columnist Denounces Free Speech As A White Man’s “Obsession”
Beautiful morning in the NT. It was cold last night, but our glamping tent came with a heater. Which was a mercy because the travelling companion pinched the doona.
The birds (unidentified “tweeters”) are out in force in the surrounding spinifex. There is a euc endemic here that resembles the Argyle Apple – silvery grey round leaves and a ridged black trunk. It stands out most photogenically against the red soil and pale green grass.
When you are ready to travel, come out here if you haven’t already done so. But not in summer – the sun on the red, iron filled rock would feel like a hammer on an anvil with you in between. This appears to be to ideal time weatherwise, apart from sporadic showers.

On the ruby Princess.
To address one point, put a stake through its heart and stop speculation
Decisions taken after the ship docked could and no doubt did affect the reproduction rate. (Unfounded speculations about air conditioning that may or may not have been interconnected aside).
The point being that what happened on the Diamond Princess doesn’t provide any firm basis to know what percentage of people will get covid, it didn’t then, it doesn’t now.
https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.07.08.20148775v1
Abstract
Objectives The Diamond Princess cruise ship is a unique case because it is the place at which testing capacity has reached its highest rate in the world during the COVID-19 pandemic. By analysing data that are collected about the current COVID-19 outbreak onboard, and by considering the design of the air conditioning system of the ship and virus transmission modes on cruise ships, this study aims to raise the hypothesis regarding the role of poor ventilation systems in the spread of COVID-19.
Design This is an analysis of count data that has been collected by the onboard clinic up to the 20th February 2020. Symptomatic infection rates during the quarantine period in cabins with previous confirmed cases are compared to these in cabins without previous confirmed cases.
Results Symptomatic infection rate during the quarantine period in cabins with previously confirmed cases is not significantly higher than that in cabins without previously confirmed cases. Age doesn’t appear to be a cofounder.
Conclusions Airborne transmission of COVID-19 through the ventilation system onboard could explain the virus spread into cabins during the quarantine period.
Now feel free to argue on the other points, the shitty ventilation was a factor in transmission.

Good point.
But if you accept that a 15 minute face to face was enough to transmit then it goes against McClowns SCIENCE!!! that says 2 hours is required before you are a close contact of an infected person.
God I despise our politicians and their need to ‘do something’, and the health mongs who pander to them giving them ‘solutions” on shit or incomplete data.
View from The Hill: Labor strongly ahead in Newspoll and Resolve, as election race enters final half
View from the very bottom of the hill:
1) A massive National disinterest in both major parties – the 2PP estimates distribute ~20% and ~15% of the total vote to the ‘winning’ party. Australia is suffering in its jocks from the necrotic compulsory preferential voting system.
2) The poll samples are big enough to give an indication of national trends, but nowhere near large enough to predict seats, or states – or the “strongly ahead” conclusion.
3) The ‘independent vote’ is still roughly twice that of PHON, or UAP.
4) Hopefully the Resolve poll has fallen into the ‘small sample trap’ when it sees 15% support for the Greens.
5) The Senate is going to be a wild, crazy place – anyone’s guess.

Mole – I was thinking of all the oceans of hand sanitizer we’ve been using. That suggests the critter can be passed by contact. I haven’t read up on that though. The sanitizer would work, unlike a cloth mask, but you would have to actually use it. The Diamond Princess case occurred very early in the timeline, so asymptomatic crew may not have been especially good at hand washing or using sanitizer, if there was any then.
BoN
You want to pretend that mask loving in normal times Japanese wouldn’t have insisted on masks and gloves not to mention that food trays were most likely left at the door for passengers in quarantine?
Not to mention the passengers themselves (approximately 2000 passengers were Japanese)were probably very keen to avoid contact with potentially affected others?
Scrabble as hard as you like passenger infections decreased significantly after quarantine measures were implemented.

Now feel free to argue on the other points, the shitty ventilation was a factor in transmission.
As I said last night, ventilation system only add a small proportion of fresh air, the rest is recycled. The filtration in the ventilation system won’t remove the virus any better than your N95 mask will.
Virtually everyone on that vessel was exposed via the ventilation system.
Nor is the ventilation system shit, it’s how the all work, vessels, buildings, aircraft. They all only change out the air over time, recycling most of it. It’s not feasible or necessary to do it any other way.
Actually, given that choice, I’d probably have to vote that way too.
Fantastic news.

‘How Does This Benefit Americans?’: Tom McClintock Grills Mayorkas On Immigration Policy
I read the full text, to the quoted ‘results and discussion’
First of all the authors only claim ‘could’ not did.
Secondly no-one is claiming zero transmission via ventilation only that most transmission was via aerosol person to person spread prior to quarantine.
What is very clear is that the science wasn’t settled on the Diamond Princess.
3 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The number of new symptomatic confirmed cases in all cabins continued to decline as the quarantine continued (Table 1, Fig. 1). This may have been due to the strict infection prevention and control measures that were put in place during the quarantine period onboard the ship (Mizumoto and Chowell, 2020; Zhang et al., 2020) resulting in a substantial decline of the dominant transmission mode onboard, i.e., passenger-to-passenger transmission, as a result of passengers staying inside their cabins (Mizumoto and Chowell, 2020). Alternatively, a large proportion of asymptomatic cases may have remained undetected (Plucinski et al., 2002; Emery et al., 2020).
Same is true here. The entire purpose of ‘disinformation projects’, private or official, is narrative protection. Nothing more.
John Hoeven Presses Buttigieg On ‘Huge Supply Chain Issues’
I wasn’t referring to the crew BoN, I was referring to the large number of Japanese passengers and the government overseeing the quarantine arrangements.
There is still very clear evidence that many people still observe mask, hand sanitising and social distancing protocols without the government telling them to.
You don’t think a percentage of passengers in the face of a potentially fatal disease would have taken steps to avoid contracting it, even before the government stepped in?

Perhaps it just assumes that all independents are Greens… which is generally pretty much spot on, but isn’t always. As far as I’m concerned, Palmer and One Nation are worse than the majors because they’re eating up the protest vote while still playing the stupid “how much of other peoples’ money can I spend”, big-government game.

The amount of travel is starting to pick up finally, I know a number of people who have traveled and the general feedback has been:
1). You will be required to collate vast amounts of documentation and print it and have it at hand.
2). At your arrival destination you will feel like you should be presenting and handling over your documentation to someone. Be warned of the emotional impact of no one giving a fuck about your carefully prepared documentation. You may find a sympathetic official to take it from you, if they are especially kind they will wait until you are out of sight before dumping it in the bin.

With the likes of Andrews still maintaining a grip on the SoE, there is no guarantee that the unvaxxed will be allowed re-entry into the country. I have not been following msm news at all closely, but given the ccp lockdown, Andrews may yet and again be inspired to some level of mimetics. Not likely yet not impossible. Useful to be kept uncertain if not anxious.

Then there’s this:
If requested? Who’s a relevant official? Is ‘proof of vaccination’ one, two or three jabs?
Geez, that last statement’s vague. It’s almost as if people somewhere were hedging bets, or just having something somewhere for the sake of it.
I am extremely confident this is outdated.
I assume this means ‘put a cap in yo ass’.
Yes.
It depends where you go.
If you make like Lizzie and go to the UK, the only material difference between being vaxxed and unvaxxed is:
1) you can’t travel QANTAS;
2) if you return to Queensland, you have to undertake a RAT test ($7.50 Chemist’s Warehouse) within 24 hrs of your return + you can’t visit hospitals or aged care silos for 7 day.
Intolerable.
(Actually, if you’re over 70, the other material difference is a lower risk of falling into the clutches of the NHS if you catch Omigod.)

True.
However, all the machinery remains in place to differentiate vaccinated from unvaccinated, and it is thrown back onto the states. At the moment, they all let everyone in regardless of vaccination status.

Small steps for international travel atm but a snapshot below of countries that used to rely on tourist dollars to our north. Thailand, Vietnam & Indonesia require COVID insurance, small print on this would be fascinating and try getting an Asian hospital to recognise. Visa on arrival suspended in most places. Thais have some TAT approved Hotel that must be booked for 3 nights. Forums say some of the websites to upload documents for entry won’t take .pdf’s, crash often and will send you back to the start after a glitch. All countries need double vax but some will allow unvaxed travellers entry after a quarantine.
https://southeastasiabackpacker.com/corona-virus-southeast-asia/
My take, we aren’t travelling till all these hurdles are gone. Thailand and Vietnam in my experience have some of the longest customs waits, that wads of paperwork required would blow that out to the insufferable IMO.

There are many other things you could conclude, mostly involving political profligacy and expediency.
Building camps, knowing they would be useless, to distract from hotel quarantine fuck-ups and to reassure the Karens they will be “kept safe”.
Or could it be good old-fashioned pork-barrelling and slinging contracts to maaaates.
This is the problem with Klaus Schwab innernet rabbit-holes.

Another Look at Covid Vaccine Studies
BY MANFRED HORST MAY 1, 2022 VACCINES 4 MINUTE READ
From the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis, the risk factors for severe forms and death from – or “with” – the respiratory virus called SARS-CoV-2 had been clearly identified: Advanced age, obesity, severe chronic comorbidities (other diseases, e.g. hypertension, diabetes, cancer).
For people without any of these characteristics, the risk of dying from (or even only “in relation with”) COVID-19 is very low and close to 0.
The vaccines are supposed to prevent severe disease and death; otherwise, they – and a fortiori their expedited approvals – would be entirely pointless.
At this point in time however, we still cannot possibly know whether they actually do. Martin Kulldorf is therefore entirely right when he demands in his recent article that the manufacturers “conduct a proper randomized clinical trial that proves that the vaccines reduce mortality.”
The design and execution of such a trial – in the high risk group (e.g. >65 years of age, plus at least one comorbidity), over a reasonable timeframe (at least 6 months), comparing overall (not only test-positive) mortality in a placebo to a verum-group – would have been (and would still be) straightforward and much less complex than the registration studies that were in fact carried out with these products.
How the trials were conducted is clearly stated in the protocols, publications, and FDA submissions: People who developed symptoms (the lists of these symptoms changed a little from one manufacturer to another, but they were all non-specific common cold or flu symptoms) underwent PCR testing. If – and only if – the test turned out to be positive (in the Pfizer study, this was the case in merely 170 out of more than 3,400 symptomatic patients), the endpoint of “symptomatic Covid-19” was considered as having been reached.
What these studies showed was that in people presenting with common cold or flu symptoms, the SARS-CoV-2 virus was detected significantly less frequently in the vaccinated than in the placebo group.
What was thus demonstrated was in no way a reduction in any clinically defined and distinguishable disease entity, but only in the number of positive tests for one particular virus of many which are known to cause the non-specific symptoms in question.
What was not demonstrated however, was a reduction in common cold and flu symptoms per se. Quite the contrary.
All the observational studies which have been carried out with the Covid-19 vaccines suffer, apart from some of the well-known general biases, from exactly the same fundamental flaw: They show a decrease in “Covid-19-related” symptom-free or symptomatic cases, hospitalizations or deaths, but they do not ask the question whether this decline in test-positive patients translates into an overall reduction of flu cases, of (atypical) pneumonias, of hospitalizations and deaths.
However, this is the clinically truly relevant question.

Australia’s Motor Magazine axed after 68 years
After helping shape Australian car culture for more than half a century – and becoming a driving force in iconic Holden-versus-Ford battles – Motor Magazine has reached the end of the road.
One of Australia’s most iconic car magazines, Motor, will print its last edition next month after 68 years.
Originally called Modern Motor and launched in May 1954, the magazine helped shape Australian car culture and was one of the driving forces in iconic Holden-versus-Ford battles on the road and track for more than half a century.
Motor Magazine – a sister title to Wheels Magazine – is due to print its last and 827th issue in June 2022 and be on the news stands in July, the company announced today.
As with women’s magazines, ‘lads’ magazines, and weekly tabloid titles, Australian car magazines have struggled in the internet age.

The real Zelensky: From celebrity populist to unpopular Pinochet-style neoliberal – Interview
Ukrainian academic Olga Baysha details Volodymyr Zelensky’s embrace of widely loathed neoliberal policies, his repression of rivals, and how his actions fueled the current war with Russia.
A comedic actor who rose to the country’s highest office in 2019, Volodymyr Zelensky was virtually unknown to the average American, except perhaps as a bit player in the Trump impeachment theater. But when Russia attacked Ukraine on February 24, 2022, Zelensky was suddenly transformed to an A-list celebrity in US media. American news consumers were bombarded with images of a man who appeared overcome by the tragic events, possibly in over his head, but ultimately sympathetic. It didn’t take long for that image to evolve into the khaki-clad, tireless hero governing over a scrappy little democracy and single-handedly staving off the barbarians of autocracy from the east.
But beyond that carefully crafted Western media image is something much more complicated and less flattering. Zelensky was elected by 73 percent of the vote on a promise to pursue peace while the rest of his platform was vague. On the eve of the invasion, however, his approval rating had sunk to 31 percent due to the pursuit of deeply unpopular policies.
“Ms” Meyers sounds like a real hoot.

Unvaccinated parents and Carers with children admitted to BCH wards are not allowed to leave the room can not go to the family room or canteens or use other facilities. At the clinic you sit and wait with every one else.
Schools and hospitals have lost exceptional staff who refuse vaccination and are replace with people some of whom would not normally get a job.
I have removed a child from PICU due to two of these people but in all fairness the last admission to ICU the standard of care by every one was exceptional and one little girl lives to see another day.

The top 1/10th of the Labor iceberg, shoved underwater until May 22…
Top Ender:
99 x out of 100 you would be correct.
Look at von Mansteins ‘thunder run’ to Leningrad in ’41. His spearhead armour was there to disrupt the Soviet defences, destroy communications and supply, as well as defeat in detail whatever Soviet armour he could find.
At one stage the OKW was telling him to stop and consolidate as he was outrunning his supply train, but he refused – his mission was disruption – not taking of territory. He was aware that if his mobile forces were pinned to an area, they would be trapped.
I suspect the Soviets took a lot of lessons from that action, because a large part of the Cold War Fulda Gap strategy was about tearing apart the NATO frontier lines to allow their Operational Manoeuvre Groups into the NATO rear areas and run amok. Their supply trains were inherent in the OMG make up.
It would be an interesting intellectual exercise to game that one out.
But yes – Armour without infantry can’t do the job, likewise infantry without armour.
What To Do About China
by Gordon G. Chang May 1, 2022 at 5:00 am
Is Xi Jinping really that bold… to start another war? … First, China considers the United States to be its enemy. Second the United States is no longer deterring China. China feels it has a big green light to do whatever it wants.
We Americans don’t pay attention to propaganda… After all, these are just words. At this particular time, these words… [suggest] to me that China is laying the justification for a strike on the United States. We keep ignoring what Beijing is saying. We kept ignoring what Osama bin Laden was saying.
We have to remember that the Chinese regime, unlike the Japanese, always warn its adversaries about what it is going to do
The second reason war is coming is that America’s deterrence of China is breaking down.
Di’s message was that with cash, China can do anything it wants, and that all Americans would take cash. He mentioned two words in this regard: Hunter Biden.
In February, [Biden] had a two hour phone call with Xi Jinping. By Biden’s own admission, he didn’t raise the issue of the origins of COVID 19 even once. If you are Xi Jinping, after you put down the receiver, your first thought is, “I just got away with killing hundreds of thousands of Americans.”
As of today, more than eight million people have died outside China. What happened? No one imposed costs on China.
For at least a half decade, maybe a little bit longer, Chinese military researchers have been openly writing about a new type of biological warfare….They talk about a new type of biological warfare of “specific ethnic genetic attacks.” In other words, pathogens that will leave the Chinese immune but sicken and kill everybody else, which means that the next disease from China can be a civilization killer.
China has bought the political establishment in the Solomon Islands, except for one brave man named David Suidani. Recently, somebody got the bright idea of publishing all of the specific payments that Beijing has made to Solomon Islands politicians…. We should be doing this with payments to American politicians, we should be doing this across the board.
What can happen next? We should not be surprised if China gives the Taliban an atomic weapon to be used against an American city. Would they be that vicious?
Then there’s somebody named John Kerry. Our republic is not safe when John Kerry carries a diplomatic passport, as he now does. He is willing to make almost any deal to get China to sign an enhanced climate arrangement.
Kerry came back and said, “Well, life is always full of tough choices in the relationship between nations.” Tough choices? We Americans need to ask, “What is Kerry willing to give up to get his climate deal?”

Even when I travelled end 2021 country level entry was a breeze, only time anyone looked at my vaxx cert was entering Italy, restaurants and cafes in Italy a pita after that, no drama with the EU pass.
It’s not as if the emergency powers didn’t exist pre 2020, they did, they’d just never been unleashed.
People can live their lives as a looming worse case scenario if they want.
And they can punt on getting or not getting covid while they are travelling, vaxxed or not vaxxed.

I read a book about 50 years ago that predicted if the Greens and other lunatics got their way, it would end up as a power/food/water/minerals catastrophe.
Of course the people who were cold, hungry and freezing in the dark, (Yes, it was in the time before gerbil wormening and when the Econuts were predicting Snowball Earth.) threatened all kinds of blunt trauma/asphyxiation weren’t going to put up with it so the word went out from the Parliaments of the world – drill baby drill. Sod the consequences.

ABC are busy trying to normalise high numbers of heart attacks.
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-05-02/heart-attacks-australia-signs-and-symptoms-covid/101018596
The ABC is fighting a strawman. Nobody said it was normally impossible to have a heart attack at 52. Nobody said it doesn’t happen 350 times a day in a country of 24 million in a typical year. The concern is that it is happening in the under 55s now way more than in prior normal years. Of course suspecting the rushed covid vaccines is a frequent trope, understandably.
So let me make an effort to do the reasoning that the ABC cannot or will not do.
ABC continues:
Yep, but is that because of the spike protein or because of some other aspect of the virus? If it’s the spike, the pseudo-uridine mRNA jabs that reproduced the spike protein are still suspect. With such high vaccination rates in Australia and the UK it would be difficult to separate the effect of the jab from the effect of the disease. The ABC doesn’t address that, which is strange because the Nature article they reference *does* address that issue:
Okay so risk of inflammation didn’t go away when vaccinations are cancelled out. But does it still have some kind of amplifying effect? In the supplementary data the comparison to a contemporary control group where people are excluded from the study the moment they get jabbed found a hazard ratio of 5.31 for getting myocarditis from covid. The same comparison from the main study table (which includes the jabbed) got a hazard ratio of 5.38. Hardly any difference in hazard from excluding the jabbed. Does that address our concerns? Well it only addresses myocarditis, not heart attacks, so no, not exactly.
The other prereq for people being studied in this paper is they had to have registered with the USA Veterans Health Administration, which is going to lead to an upward bias in age. Suprisingly the mean age of this group was 63, I thought it would be higher. More surprising is their analysis by age showed the risk of any cardiovascular event from (allegedly) covid was hardly any different between the over 65s and the under 65s (HR 1.68 vs 1.58). This is strange because it doesn’t match the strong age effect seen in Covid hospitalisation rates from public hospitals.
So the main study that includes the jabbed finds insignificant effect of age on how often “covid-19” by itself causes cardiovascular events, and the only study that tests for any effect of the jabs only addresses myo- and peri- carditis, not strokes and heart attacks. I’d say the concerns about vaccine safety have not been addressed by these papers. It is good news if you assume you can’t get a heart attack from the jab unless you’ve had heart inflammation from it first, as the study shows no effect of the jabs in that case.
What does that say, translated into English?
Strumpet.
It won’t last.
I wish I’d thought of this. USA Today:
Brilliant. In 2017 Peter McIndoe happened across a march for something or other, saw a group of counter-protesters, and decided both teams had equally stupid placards so he wrote ‘Birds Aren’t Real’ on one and joined them.
Reported on as fact by local media.
I suppose if I’d been taken in by a fake ‘government killed the birds and replaced them with drones’ arrangement, I would be compelled to say something like ‘well what would you have concluded’.
India’s anti-money laundering agency has seized assets worth about 725 million dollars from Xiaomi’s local bank accounts in India. The Chinese smartphone giant assets have been seized for breaching India’s foreign exchange laws.

A worse case scenario is when your free western country gets taken over by tyrants and orders you to stay inside, give up your job, mask your face and get multiple injections so you even give your bodily autonomy over to them………..this is no biggie to Notafan, not worthy of fighting and acknowledging it’s happened…indeed, Emergency powers existed before, but they were never used, says this dim bulb of self excuse……….does this make it alright? Or is it just something to say?
No dipshit, they could not punt on catching covid while travelling vaxxed or unvaxxed, as the unvaxxed couldn’t leave.

“In series of attacks on the Catholic faith in 2013, Ms Myers tweeted, “Jesus was gay! You heard it here first”, told the Pope to “get your head out of your arse!”, and wrote, “I’ve had enough of the catholic (sic) church & the sh*t that comes from their mouths”.”
Charming. Just imagine for a moment if some tweets had been discovered where Ms Myers had described the psychopathic warlord named Mo who lived fourteen hundred years ago as “gay” or she’d described Mo’s religion as “sh*t”.
Firstly, Ms Myers would already have been dumped from her senate spot and secondly, she’d already be in hiding.
I also note that in the Daily Telegraph piece about her disgusting tweets, the headline is “Labor senate candidate Mich-Elle Myers pulls controversial Twitter account”. Now note how Myers isn’t described as “controversial”, only her tweets are whereas Katherine Deves is almost always described in the MSM as the “controversial candidate”. I don’t know what others think but I reckon that Ms Myers is a lot more offensive and a lot more controversial than Katherine Deves.

Apart from unwelcome insects, the walk in to the canyon was superb. Ghost gums writhing above shattered red rocks, many…many finches darting here and there and a pair of ringnecks chortling to each other. We didn’t do the rim walk because the Beloved gets vertigo – we could see the walkers silhouetted against the skyline. So the shorter canyon walk and down the road a bit to Kathleen Spring, a tranquil waterhole set deep in inhospitable red hills.
Quite a few Homo sapiens ssp. EcoBoomer doing the rounds in their campervans. Slightly grubby and dishevelled, faded bucket hats and backpacks, not a camera to be seen to catch the glories of nature. They never shut up, even in places where quiet will yield a glimpse of a shy bird or other creature. Or just the breeze in the trees. We also passed a day trip busload from Uluru. Again – remarkable for the chatter.
Speaking of photography, my good camera decided to play up too. I suspect a bit of dust in the focussing mechanism. Just as well I brought a backup lens and another, pocket size camera. Hopefully I can sort the problem out, it has a mechanical rather than electronic feel to it.
