How will this Covid business ever end?


I’m not sure which is more unreal, the portrayal of Australia as a dystopian nightmare or local presenters not seeing why it looks that way to everyone else. There is this as well which you might also have a read of: Fox News host Tucker Carlson slams Australia’s lockdown ‘lunacy’. The Carlson presentation is also shown in the video above.

Friends from around the world keep writing to me about what they hear and it is pretty amazing. I’m not sure it’s any worse here than anywhere else. The actual point is that it’s pretty insane in lots of places, not just here, with Daniel Andrews a low point. 

Still, when will this all end remains the question. It’s mostly just pretend anyway: The CDC Only Tracks a Fraction of Breakthrough COVID-19 Infections, Even as Cases Surge.

As the pandemic enters a critical new phase, public health authorities continue to lack data on crucial questions, just as they did when COVID-19 first tore through the United States in the spring of 2020. Today there remains no full understanding on how the aggressively contagious delta variant spreads among the nearly 200 million partially or fully vaccinated Americans like Ingram, or on how many are getting sick.

The nation is flying blind yet again, critics say, because on May 1 of this year — as the new variant found a foothold in the U.S. — the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention mostly stopped tracking COVID-19 in vaccinated people, also known as breakthrough cases, unless the illness was severe enough to cause hospitalization or death.

Did you get that: “the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention mostly stopped tracking COVID-19 in vaccinated people”. The data is complete junk, both in relation to numbers, and in relation to whether vaxxinated people are getting Covid. There is something very sinister going on, but it will be quite a while before we know what it is. But it remains a massive worry, and by that I don’t mean Covid-19.

I’m much less concerned about what we Aussies are perceived as by the rest of the world than what we actually are. What we are at the moment, objectively speaking, is disgusting … a low point in the history of the West. Other nations may be slightly better or worse than us. But that’s irrelevant. We need to seriously lift, or we’re done.

The tyranny of distance normally works in the favour of Australia’s political class – no one anywhere else gives a rat’s clacker what they do.

Now that the light is on them, caught in the act so to speak, I hope it breaks them, their parties, and embarrasses those members of the public who so willingly gave their support.

Mind you, it won’t penetrate very much in Australia while it is Sky and Fox doing the reporting – a lot of people have been programmed to dismiss whatever they say as ‘far-right propaganda’.

Is it making it onto any progressive platforms?

Yet more evidence that ordinary masks, by and large, don’t work. That we are forced to wear them is entirely political.

I have posted about the Irish experience on discord here

summary:

To date, 90% of the adult population have received their first vaccine dose while 84% are fully vaccinated.
Of total hospital admissions, 45% are fully vaccinated, while 52% are among people who are not fully vaccinated.
HSE chief executive Paul Reid said: “The vaccination status in ICU, 62% of ICU cases currently in hospital aren’t vaccinated at all.

“They haven’t had any vaccination, which is very high proportion of the population who have not been vaccinated.

“15% are partially vaccinated, the remaining 20 to 23% are fully vaccinated.”

In oz, 450+ have died post vaccination, yet the TGA are only reporting 6 deaths.

On closer inspection the only deaths TGA are reporting are internationally
accepted issues. These include cases of Thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS) and or low platelet count being related to AZ and Myocarditis and pericarditis for pfizer. There have been no recorded deaths for pfizer. The only fatalities counted are from blood clots.

Unless the deceased has one of the listed causes, entirely blood clots at this stage, then it is not counted towards death by vaccine.

It appears that anyone with co-morbidities that is pushed over the edge by the vaccine are not counted as vaccine fatalities, whereas people with co-morbidities pushed over the edge by covid are counted in the covid stats.

Iceland shows what a hole the premiers have dug for themselves:

Elías Eyþórsson @eliaseythorsson | 12:16 AM · Aug 8, 2021
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Iceland (93% of the population 16 years of age or older vaccinated) is experiencing its largest wave of Covid-19 yet. At this point, I think it is unreasonable to assume that increased vaccine coverage will result in herd immunity

See the graphs particularly. Here’s a screen capture of this tweet in case it gets censored. Via Tony Heller.

Time to legalize ivermectin and HCQ. We have nothing to lose by doing so and many lives to save.

Comparison of Covid cases in a country where almost 90% of the population is vaccinated

Despite 10 times more vaccinated people than non-vaccinated, the caseload for non-vaccinated is only 4-5 times higher and narrowing.

Are the non-vaccinated acquiring herd immunity? Why is the case load for the vaccinated so high?

It’s astonishing that Australia’s descent into an authoritarian police state is being led by an immigrant whose family fled the former Soviet satellite state of Armenia.

It also says much about the latent anti-democratic power lust of the fascist medical establishment which has embedded itself in the Australian state and federal public services that is providing “expert” advice to Gladys Berejiklian, Dan Andrews and the rest of the political class.

Andrews is just a poorly educated peon who had his head filled with fantasies about Marxist tyranny at Monash uni. But Berejiklian should be horrified philosophically by what her chief health Nazi Kerry Chant’s advice is doing to NSW.

She’s not. Which tells you much about the poison of late-stage feminism which catapulted her into a childless political career and into the orbit of power-hungry, self-enriching LNP party warlord Michael Photios.

As for the Rita Panahi-Tucker Carlson video, I urge Cats to share it widely as an example of how our physical isolation from the rest of the Western world can help foment the political oppression we fought against in two world wars.

Panahi spent her early childhood in Iran and saw the workings of a fascist religious theocracy first-hand – a few hundred kilometres from the shithole Berejiklian’s family escaped.

How will this end? It will only end when the elites get tired of it, when it starts hurting them. I keep looking for the first small shifts of tone in media coverage, and occasionally I think I see them. Nine news the other night ran amazingly sympathetic coverage of Morrison’s speech against lockdowns, complete with moody visual overlay of empty streets in central Melbourne, and looming grey skies. It was almost like a campaign ad; the only thing missing was stirring orchestral music.

Israel hopes boosters can avert new lockdown as Covid vaccine efficacy fades
and
Are vaccines becoming less effective at preventing Covid infection?

Tomas Hanke, professor of vaccine immunology at Oxford’s Jenner Institute, speculated that the AstraZeneca shot generates longer-lasting immunity because its spike protein sticks around for more time, promoting a bigger immune response.

“When you deliver RNA, like the Pfizer vaccine, you deliver a finite number of mRNA molecules which are eventually cleared from the system,” he said. “But when you deliver the adenovirus, as AstraZeneca does, you deliver a template which then keeps producing these mRNAs that then produce the spike protein, so there’s no ceiling.” 

This of course would explain the higher rate of side effects and deaths from AZ. The question is how long does AZ keep producing toxic spike protein? we were told only a few days, this clearly is a lie. We are being told repeatedly by the MSM that spike protein is not toxic, yet new studies show it is likely not just toxic but neurotoxic.

Our dystopian situation isn’t a reflection of Australian compliance with the Agenda, it’s a reflection of Australian resistance to the Agenda.

Why are they ramping up the lockdowns, fear and police brutality? Because Australians are well behind in vaccination rates, it is not some logistics or organisational problem, it is because largely Australians are NOT buying the scam.

Collectivists are always screeching about how Australia is seen by the rest of the world – as if the latter have ever given a rodent’s backside.

Well, here’s a perfect example of it – brought about entirely by our local collectivist totalitarians’ stupidity, pig headedness and naked opportunism.

Are you happy now, you fascist morons? The rest of the world now correctly sees Australia as a stupid, stupid country, trading liberty for “safety” while ultimately deserving neither.

trading liberty for “safety”

How long has ‘safety’ been used as an excuse for closing off choices.

Playgrounds have had toys removed for safety. Scenic places closed. You must wear a helmet when on a bicycle, for safety. You can’t just lay on a spread for a club or whatnot for…you guessed it.

It has slowly crept into people’s minds that just being alive, with a heatbeat, is the highest goal. Take away joy, excitement, passion, all of that, because those things can be accompanied by risk. But they are the things that make life worth it.

The ‘anything to guarantee a heartbeat’ is mere existence and hardly discernible from that of a stone.

Yet more evidence that ordinary masks, by and large, don’t work. That we are forced to wear them is entirely political.

Plenty of proof of that, going back months, nicely documented here.
Plus of course all those dozens of actual scientific studies that came ‘BC’ (Before Covid), when ‘science’ actually still meant just that.

I spoke with a friend who is a registered nurse at a major hospital in Germany. They all had to submit to the vaxx, otherwise no job. She and her husband like to go to theatre performances; now they can only get in with a QR code ‘green pass’ on their phones.
She did tell me that this time last year, when the Covid panic was at 200%, with media shills carrying on about ‘overwhelmed hospitals’, they had a sum total of 10 Covid patients in. That was the highest ever number. Now with DD (Dreaded Delta) around, they have one from time to time, but mostly none.

It. Is. A. Scam.

So here’s todays figures. This time I found there is an order by deaths option

https://discord.com/channels/874092865465241710/874092865909833749/879984612997234720

The TGA figures I presume are aggregated from doctors on the front lines. They lag by 2 weeks. Since yesterday another 3 deaths registered.

What is interesting you will note is the number #1 cause of death is “Adverse event following immunisation”, could it be that some doctors might be trying to send TGA a message. with 103 deaths

The second highest is Dyspnoea, breathing difficulties, . 3rd is Pulmonary embolism. (blood clot?) 4th is Cerebrovascular accident (stroke – blood clot?)

The top 4 add up to about 200 deaths.

5th is cardiac arrest.

Then we have vague terms like vomiting, malaise, Concomitant disease progression.

Then Thrombocytopenia (low platelet count) with 19 deaths. Which is a noted possible issue with AZ.

Up to 7 official deaths by vaccine
The latest TGA report says:Since the beginning of the vaccine rollout to 15 August 2021, over 15.3 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines have been given. So far, the TGA has found that 7 reports of deaths were linked to immunisation from 460 reports received and reviewed. These deaths occurred after the first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine – 6 were TTS cases and one was a case of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP).

  1. Australia’s relationship with Israel is on the rocks as the Albanese government condoned the International Criminal Court’s pursuit of Benjamin…

  2. As I recall methanol is another one of those things that people can develop a tolerance to. So a dose…

  3. The twentysomething “creatives” who devise the content for Australian TV advertising are a solid bloc of Greens voters who cast…

  4. That’s six confirmed deaths from the alleged methanol spiking in Laos. Only a minuscule amount required to kill you. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ced94znq424o
