Welcome to Prison Australia where unvaccinated citizens are not able to leave. (And Canadians thought they were the only ones). If your best friend is getting married in Madagascar, the Africans will let you fly in, but you can’t go because Australia won’t let you out.
Australians who are unvaccinated or not-jabbed-enough can apply for permission to leave. But unless you need foreign medical care, live or work overseas, or are flying in the “national interest” (meaning you’re a politician) you may not qualify. Trips need to be “longer than three months” for no good reason I can think of, except that it stops most holidayers. Which is obviously the point.
People may get an exemption if they need to work overseas. Which is fine if your boss wants to send you to conventions in the Greek Islands but you can’t take the wife and kids unless she owns the company, and the kids are your employees. Otherwise, there’s no pleasure cruises for the unjabbed peasants from Oz.
Unvaccinated Australians who want to leave pretty much have to escape
We can always drive to Broome. We might find an Indonesian fishing boat and get a lift back the other way, in a kind of reverse boat-people maneuver. With luck, Australian-boat-people might be able to apply for political asylum in Bali. But will Indonesia accept them? Otherwise it’s only 150 kilometers from the top end of Queensland to Papua New Guinea. It’s possible to swim or paddle across the Torres Strait, it’s just that the crocodiles may appreciate your trip more than you do.
The ban doesn’t apply to unvaccinated foreigners in Australia, (luckily for Novak, eh, or he might still be here?). Non-Australians are free to leave, so dual nationals could always renounce their citizenship but the rest of us just have to go stateless.
Right now, there are about 70 countries which allow unvaccinated travelers in. Places like France, Spain, Greece and the UK, as well as Norway, Israel, Denmark, and those bastions of freedom: Cuba, Russia and parts of Africa and central America.
When nations with medical systems as good as Haiti aren’t afraid to welcome the Unvaxxed, it seems a tad odd that Australia is afraid to send them.
As it is, the Australian made vaccine is not on the approved list in Australia, so unvaccinated Australians aren’t able to fly out of Australia to go to Iran where they could get an Australian vaccine. It’s almost like we’re owned by Pfizer.
Set Australia Free Scott Morrison…
If it all sounds a bit hard to believe, ponder that it’s been the law since the Human Biosecurity Emergency was announced two years ago:
“From 25 March 2020, all Australian citizens and permanent residents must not travel outside Australia unless exempt… “
Long after Covid became tame enough to let in, and evolved into omicron, the Pandemic Emergency was extended again and again, even in February this year until 17 April 2022. Will they extend it again? I’ll have more to say tomorrow…
From the Australian Government Health website — here it is in black and white:
- Restrictions on outbound international travel for unvaccinated Australians
Unvaccinated Australian citizens and permanent residents
If you do not meet Australia’s definition of fully vaccinated for international travel purposes, you need to apply for a travel exemption to leave Australia. For more information and how to apply see Travel exemption process to leave Australia.
Who can apply for a travel exemption
You can apply for a travel exemption if you:
-
-
- are travelling as part of the response to the COVID-19 outbreak, including the provision of aid
- need urgent medical treatment that is not available in Australia
- are travelling for a compelling reason and for three months or longer
- your travel is in the national interest
- you are ordinarily resident in a country other than Australia.
- are travelling for your business or employer
- providing critical skills or working in a critical sector.
-
Would you like hoops to jump through?
When to apply
You need to apply for a travel exemption at least two weeks, but not more than two months, before your planned travel.
If you are travelling due to the death or critical illness of a close family member, you can apply inside this timeframe. We will prioritise your application.
At the moment, two jabs is enough, and people can do them barely two weeks apart and then fly seven days later, which doesn’t sound like anyone in the Health department is too concerned about the travellers actually being protected. If we want to know the efficacy we have to wait two or three weeks after the last injection before we even count them. But if we are only worried about them getting on planes full of viruses, who cares?
It’s not about health is it?
In February more than 400 Australians applied but were told they couldn’t fly out of the country. Some 390 people applied to leave on compassionate grounds, but 168 of those were knocked back. About half the people who said they lived overseas were not allowed to leave either. All told during the last two years the Australian Government has declared that 147,000 Australians didn’t have permission to leave the country. Who knows how many thousands more never bothered to apply in the first place.

What!!!!! You cannot leave your own Country if you have not been jabbed. That is just plain ridiculous

Things are getting better. We were in solitary confinement for a long time. A 3 million sq. mile Leper colony. How much do I despise our politicians and bureaucrats? Don’t ask!

The “Stockholm Syndrome”.
Timely Samuel Adams quote:
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”

I can only suppose the ‘powers that be’ claim to be concerned about when you return from your trip.

I doubt that they are that smart.

On the surface it seems completely outrageous to stop outgoing Nationals, it is only consistent with immigration policies. The one certainty is that tourists expect quite reasonably to return any time but that presents a real and legal contradiction in immigration health.
Visiting a hospital this week, they are still locked down and very strict. Surgeons are flat out dealing with a huge backlog and the last thing they need is to have teams out of action in isolation or worse. There are still people in ICU and on ventilators.
Inoculation should always be a personal choice where only your life is at risk because all inoculations also carry risks.
However there is still the real community need to slow the spread of this still deadly virus and its variations and to protect and reduce the load on emergency treatment and save lives.
So while within our still sheltered community we are nearly free, we do not want new strains to enter while we drop our guard and at present the Omicron strain is effectively inoculating the population for free, as Bill Gates complained.
The one serious problem is the absurd idea that if you had the Wuhan flu, you still need inoculation.
—————
You should be able to get an equivalent certificate which counts as inoculation because there is no greater proof of Wuhan flu resistance than having survived. I know of many travellers who were forced to inoculate although having had the virus and to take a real risk with their health for no reason at all.
Specifically a positive result for Wuhan Flu antibodies should also generate an equivalent certificate to convince well meaning bureaucrats who do not know how immunity works. That would solve many problems. It also prevents the likely problem of vulnerable tourists who leave, get very sick overseas and demand to come home, which is a totally avoidable personal and financial and administrative health disaster.

And this just in from people in Chicago on Domestic travel alone. They are still a long way from ‘normal’.
“It seems that there is no requirement to “officially” test before/after domestic flights
People working in the city are making changes to their work lives to accommodate safety ( against COVID )”
“Travel in the US is still bad. All the normal stuff PLUS cancellations to flights or delays make it very hard to keep meetings.
Planes are full, overbooking is still an issue and people getting bumped
Anxiety of travelers is at an all-time high.”
After such a long time, people are anxious, but we have to ease off international restrictions, not fling open the doors. And we need to be sure that we maintain our vigilance against imported viruses, something which really was dropped in the 2000s when everyone was just stamped through immigration with a note to see a doctor if they fell ill later.
95
And is this really an Australian government initiative? I would love to see a list of countries which will accept unvacinated passengers.
There is a reasonable standard requirement for all airlines not to board passengers to destinations which will not accept them.
Visas and Vaccinations come to mind as essential requirements for most countries. These things should be checked on departure or someone has to pay the return airfare and other costs plus the total nuisance.
86
“Travel in the US is still bad.”
Huh?
Ticket prices are dropping back to reasonable, I can book flights easily and quickly, there are no blackout spots (destinations that have applied their own more stringent requirements), and they’re even on the cusp of ending the mask requirement.
Travel in the US is quite good right now.
70
As I consider this further, the only people for whom “travel in the US is still bad” are the people who would rather we all wore three masks, got six shots, and wrapped ourselves in aluminum foil.
60
We can still have Quarantine for people arriving.
110
I still carry and maintain my Yellow innoculations book. But in the 2000’s with the massive wave of international travel, most countries just stopped asking.
In China at the moment one of our Chinese born staff has just flown after two years of isolation from her family and is spending two weeks in isolation regardless. Her ultimate destinations Shanghai is in total lockdown with meals at the door. Then she has to get to Beijing to see her parents, 92 and 93. In Shanghai all traffic is stopped including public transport, taxis. This is a city with an official population of 26 million but an actual population of 37 million and the world’s busiest port. So even getting to Shanghai and moving if she can get there is a problem. Maybe Beijing first. This whole catastrophe is not over yet.
So while we are yearning to escape on holidays and business travel and family reunions, the world is not particularly welcoming yet and some countries are in real crisis, even without the war in Ukraine with four million people on the move and very high rates of TB. So tourists might have to sit. And consider also the requirements and even the quality of the health systems of the countries they wish to visit.
96
And maybe fifteen years ago when I would leave Beijing or Shanghai on many trips, everyone had to be scanned for temperature and get a special ticket to present on departure. They were trying to stop exit of Avian Flu which was spreading rapidly through the massive chicken farms.
Not this time though as millions left for Milan and America during the pandemic in Wuhan while the head of WHO insisted that there was no problem and Clinton and Pelosi and the Democrats called Trump a Xenophobic. And later accused him of not closing the doors fast enough.
223
Shanghai, they are all Asymptomatic. Nobody is sick!
Though with the worlds largest port the supply chain takes a massive hit, again.
I also have the yellow book, 35 years of constant travel, never once been asked for it.
You want to hide under your bed, feel free, do not dictate your wishes onto others. We did it your way for two years for nothing, time to let people choose their own path.

There seems to be confusion about international arrivals being detained in quarantine, even when approved by Immigration and Border Force to enter Australia via a Port of Airport then State Health authorities determine the quarantine requirement and enforce it.
NSW is still trying to get QLD to pay for hotel quarantining of Queensland citizens in Sydney after international arrival, by agreement quarantined in Sydney for the QLD Government and with an agreement between States to pay for the service.
As for travellers leaving Australia I have known for a long time that vaccination is required, for example I have a “COVID-19 Digital Certificate” on an app on my mobile device provided by Medicare and listing my now three vaccinations, date vaccinated and type. That information was also recorded on my Australian Passport record.
04
The issue though is that the vaccinations make no difference in the transmissibility of the virus, the only thing they offer is limited personal protection.
410
And what that means is that you do not end up in a ventilator or in a country with no ventilators. Being very sick overseas is to be avoided, not just out of consideration for the people in that country but mainly again a matter of total self interest.
914
Please. Who needs, who wants, who trusts the government to look after their self interest?
501
That is exactly my point. You look after your own self interest.
If you travel unvaccinated and you get really sick overseas, you are in real trouble, not the government. The government is acting reasonably at this point in making it clear that the business of government is not looking after your health when overseas nor allowing anyone to import diseases to Australia just because they are citizens. A holiday jaunt can be a threat to other Australians.
Consider that the number of recommended vaccinations for India is amazing, except Yellow Fever which is not in India. But you can go without these things. Some countries will stop you if you do not have Yellow Fever vaccination as you become a risk to others. Your survival is your concern alone, not the government’s concern.
Having been across Russia, Ukraine,Egypt, Jordan, China and more in the last decade, the biggest fear you should have is sickness in countries often with no health system at all, at least one you can access easily let alone cheaply. There is a great Australian invention which stops e-coli immediately and made countries like Egypt available (because everyone gets sick), but viruses, flus, Japanese encephalytis (now in Victoria) are not things you want to get ever, especially while overseas.
108
Yes indeed. And with well equipped border guards to help me “look after my own self interest”.
You can spin it however you like, but it is still outrageous.
160
When I first began travelling overseas a yellow vaccination record booklet was required to be presented with passport checked leaving Australia to ensure that vaccinations required by destination countries were administered and date valid, or booster valid.
Vaccinations are still required by various countries for other than COVID-19, and for most for COVID-19 vaccination.
04
Ventilators? My understanding is that ventilators have not been widely used for Covid for some time. ICU physicians have been using anti virals, steroids & other drugs successfully for quite a while. Ventilators were often quite adverse for many Covid patients.
240
Point taken. My knowledge comes from press reports which have aged or just generalizations. And I expect the need for ventilators has dropped dramatically with the much lower severity of Omicron. My understanding is that they were a last ditch move with high fatality rates, so that is all good news.
42
Yes, Vicki. Everone is slightly different. I have read peer reviewed articles in medical journals from GPs that have treated patients with covid and kept them out of hospital. It appears GPs that have a patient record and are up with medical information are better at treatment than hospitals. Depending on the patient there are 4 treatments 1/ for those that have a blood problem such as DVT they are given aspirin (my wife takes a blood thinner but if traveling in a plane or even a car more than 2hrs she is advised to take aspirin) 2/ patients (especially those with an immune system problem) are given a steroid depressant to stop the immune system going wild 3/ an anti-hystamin to clear nose and throat 4/ given an anti-inflamatory
20
“And what that means is that you do not end up in a ventilator or in a country with no ventilators.”
OK, now I understand your comment above about travel in the US being bad.
You’re making this c**p up as you go.
Certainly, your government has built a new Berlin Wall to keep y’all in if you’re unvaxxed just out of concern that you not travel anywhere without modern facilities.
70
I have doubts about that. I have haf two vaxes and two boosters. I believ that the second booster (which I believe has a small amount of the virus) actually gave me covid which I then passed on to my daughter and two grandchildren. I have seen articles and had advise from GPs that there should be 12 months between the 1st booster and the second. My own GP who was double vaxed and had a booster is now off with covid. A GP friend also caught covid after a booster. I recommend do not get a booster unless forced through job requirements (which should not exist)
300
I am not surprised that the GPs caught it. Nor are they. Part of the job really now. And they are not likely to be as sick, but bounce back quickly. Vaxes do not prevent infection because they cannot.
I have always been against boosters in principle and the idea of maintaining peak antibody levels for a long time as there is a serious potential downside in permanently heightened immune systems. However given the timing with the Omicron strain now sweeping the country rapidly, everyone is going to get infected soon but hopefully nowhere near as sick. Then as I wrote above, they should get a note on their certificate that they have acquired resistance.
Many people show no symptoms at all and some end up on respirators. If you became sick from a vaccination it can indicate that you would have had a much more severe reaction to the real thing, but least the vaccine cannot self replicate. So it is not necessarily a black mark against the vaccine but a warning of high susceptibility which makes the vaccine and even the booster more important.
And personally I would love to know which strains people had, to watch for any new strains. In the latest report, most countries were over 99% Omicron.
117
I had the two Astra Zeneca vaccinations and recently one Pfizer booster vaccination, the first resulted in a sore shoulder and a mild hangover like feeling for maybe 24 hours, the second a sore shoulder only and same for the third and last.
Speaking to family members and friends they had similar experiences.
11
If you read the on-line technical blurb that goes with these “vaccines”, you will see it clearly stated in print, that under no circumstances should there be “mix ‘, match” dosing. There has been NO, Zero, Zilch, “scientific study” on such practices. If the wheels fall off, as they probably will, the big Pharma types can point to their published warnings ans essentially “wash their hand”. The dozy bunnies at the local pharmacy? Not so much. The “experts” pulling down public serpent salaries that read like iSD phone numbers will be behind some serious shields, too.
However. administering a third jab of a different flavour from the first two seems to be a popular indoor sport, here in Oz..
Thus, it appears that a different game is afoot.
50
Exactly! Completely unfollowingthescience to mix and match these jabs. I took the first two and no more, in the main because of the insistence that it was OK to get a different ‘flavour’.
00
I believe most Australians do not understand that vaccinations are protection and do not provide immunity from the virus, and that patients admitted to hospital who catch the virus are then treated with anti-viral drugs.
110
Covid is not, and never was a ‘deadly virus”. It is not even in the top ten, and the overall survival rate is better than 99.5%. It is a media manufactured event. How many times have you seen the death of a 90 year old make the front pages?
440
Well Seriously, Australia was a PENAL colony was it not?
230
Best prison in the world. Full of Scots, Irish, Englishmen, plenty of food and sunshine and no neighbours. But it can be boring so far from everywhere else and people are really frustrated. 12 million Australians would go overseas each year, which means just about every adult in the country. It is very frustrating being locked up in paradise
[SNIP 18C and Off topic. Please! – Jo]
146
And there are still the undeniable attractions of the Big Lobster, Big Penguin, Big pineapple, Big potato, Giant Koala, Big Banana.
Plus there are the iconic Twelve Apostles (of which there are only seven)
and The Melbourne Star Observation Wheel (from which you can see the mud flats of Melbourne but which has been closed for most of its life and has been sold)
What brings so many Japanese though are the fairy penguins as the Northern Hemisphere does not have penguins (except a few around the Galapagos) and penguins are classic and much more likeable than giant polar bears. Of course if the polar bears were really facing extinction with rapid Global Warming, they and the other arctic predators could be established in Antarctica, but then you would have no penguins.
But with great food and 37,000 km of coastline and pristine beaches, deserts and tropical climates, spiders, snakes and government protected crocodiles there is a vast amount of empty space to enjoy at your leisure. Which is why most Australians run away at least once a year.
95
When, supposedly, only the vaxxed were permitted entry, why and how did Omicron arrive? It wasn’t the unvaxxed who brought it in.
I can go through Dubai and enter England, but can’t escape from here and therefore I am not permitted to see my almost 100 year old mother? Because I can’t get out of this country without the severe stress of having to apply for an exemption, which has a large chance of being knocked back by some unfeeling bureaucrat?
260
Vaccination does not prevent infection or passing it on and the viral load is the same, so yes, it is likely the vaxxed brought it in. And not just one person, many.
And one Chinese engineer just went back to China on Sunday and it was vastly more difficult and months of waiting for her to get a Visa for China to see her husband and parents 92 and 93 than it was to get out of Australia! So it is all possible, just very difficult. The world of international travel is just opening. Slowly. So apply.
73
It’s not “likely” the vaxxed brought the virus in, it’s guaranteed. Not only were vaccinations mandatory for inward flights, but if the first Delta or omicron spreader had been an unvaccinated exemption we’d have never heard the end of it.
Nearly everyone who caught Covid in Australia caught it in a chain from a vaccinated traveller.
90
Exactly Jo, so why am I and many like me, who value and look after our overall health, being persecuted for daring to uphold our right to refuse to take part in a global experiment using novel gene therapy?
30
Yes and the US was a slave colony, but things tend to change
40
I completely agree
44
? Whatever that means. [Relates to Snipped]
Just to elaborate on my comment. People should be free to leave. The restriction is on Australian passport holders and the passport travel conditions are set by the government for entry and exit. However, every single time you travel with an Australian passport you are doing so under terms and conditions, not just the vaccination status t&c. One condition as a next step could be that unvaccinated are free to leave if they accept that they are liable for any consequences that come from being unvaccinated such as hospitalisation costs in another country (we have some reciprocal agreements that could be withheld) or issues concerning lockdowns or freedom of movement overseas.

If you are sick of what’s happened over the last two years and want to change things then look here for ideas on how to. Monica Smit who spent 22 days in jail in Melbourne because she REFUSED to sign a document saying she wouldn’t start political movement against Dan Andrews government did so immediately after a magistrate did eventually concede she could be held no longer.

They are currently holding nightly (started on Monday but earlier sessions can be replayed) “How to Vote” sessions on Zoom, Facebook and the web. You must register and it’s VERY informative.
This is now exploding Australia wide and if you truly care about FREEDOM and upholding the legacy of what our forefathers fought and died for then PLEASE have a look and if you think it’s worthwhile for you then great.
They DO NOT recommend ANY particular party just NOT Liberal/Labor/Greens all of which care for themselves and NONE of us normal Australians. The two/almost three party state is why we’ve had to undergo the last two years of totalitarian control over our lives.
They are also working in conjunction with Jeff Grimshaw who introduced his truly amazing new tool with a video you must not miss!
The Put the Majors Last tool for creating How to Vote cards will be available at http://www.majorslast.com (not yet live but I’ve seen how it works and it’s AMAZING).

You know GA – if you were capable of doing HALF of what she has achieved in a very short space of time you wouldn’t be on here spreading crap so often me thinks.
BTW – have a non partisan look at what is being proposed instead of being critical of everyone else’s achievements. BTW – she waas a political PRISONER – PROVE ME WRONG!!!!
But we know who you really are here – just a negative person with very little outside of you own bubble.
Cheers – be happy with Liberal or Labor – can’t say later you weren’t warned.

Australian politicians have two leading failures on their record. Top of the plops is Energy, but the late-finishing Covid Tyranny has galloped along to take second place. Both have Economic Disaster as a running mate.

I think prophylactics and early treatments for Covid-19 would have to run a close 3rd, the fact that these morally bankrupt officials and leaders actively still stop Australians from safe treatments like Ivermectin and HCQ and so let Australians die unnecessarily is criminal and needs to be called out and prosecuted.
More than half of the US States are passing laws allowing Drs to use IVM, HCQ and other off label safe drugs for early treatment of Covid-19 while here we are still killing people!!

Thanks for info. I think HCQ is also used for arthritis. I may now get to use it after 3 other drugs prescribed by hospital experts in reumatology did not work (one was toxic and made me worse, the 2nd also made be worse and the third I think started and alergic reaction)

The real reason is that both major parties have the same position for Electricity generation, renewables, and Covid.
Both want as many votes as possible and still think that people will vote for them.
240
I have been stating this fact on this blog for some time but almost no one seemed to care or notice.
You’d think Australia would be pleased to rid itself of approximately 10% of the population who are unvaxxed political dissidents.
Or are they required to be kept in the Gulag as slaves? Or is the prohibition on leaving punishment? Or both?
And there is absolutely no sign that the restrictions will be lifted.
You’d think any party who wanted to win the next Federal election and pick up, up to 10% of the votes would make this an election “promise”.
470
I think it will be an election promise of several of the Freedom Friendly minor parties; ie Lib Dems, PHON, UAP, Australia One.
I will find out about UAP tomorrow.
The Federal Election is just around the corner and this is another big reason Not to Vote for Morrison.
360
Peter, I should have specified major parties.
I realise the smaller conservative parties have more rational policies.
That’s one reason my primary vote won’t be going to the Liberals but to small conservative parties.
And for those that say that strategy is wasting my vote, what difference does it make? Liberals are only slightly less bad than Green Labor.

The race in representatives will be between LNP and ALP. Will there be any independents? I still believe LNP is better than ALP. Can you imagine Penny Wong being in a position of authority again? So it will be your preference that counts the most. I think only the Greens have enough support to get a rep seat.
In the upper house, there is every prospect of a large and influential crossbench. Both UAP and PHON appeal to me mainly because Craig Kelly and Malcolm Roberts are independent thinkers. There might be more among their ranks.
200
There are many in the ALP that are outright disgusting; one is Wong another is Dreyfus. There are others. There be stormy seas about.

In considering UAP I would like to know what Clive Palmer’s stunt with Al Gore was all about before I put a pebble in his box.
70
It is a reasonable question GlenM and I haven’t had a reply when I asked my local UAP candidate. I don’t think she had heard of Al Gore.
I will ask her again tonight.
However consider this. Clive has many faults but right now he is doing the right thing and challenging the uniparties right to govern us. He is funding the UAP campaign himself.
Would you vote Labor right now, ahead of the UAP becasue of something that Clive did in the past?

00
Unfortunately I can’t see Craig Kelly retaining his House of Reps seat of Hughes. His continuous support in parliament for medical use of anti-virals to treat coronavirus was outstanding in the face of so much opposition and he deserves a medal for bravery.
Clive Palmer on the other hand showed his true colours during the collapse of the Queensland Nickel Refinery when he had to be forced to pay out the workers. Being first on the UAP Queensland Senate ticket he will very likely become a Senator on the strength of Craig Kelly’s reputation but I hope voters will remember his unsavory past.

“Or are they required to be kept in the Gulag as slaves? ”
Well the short answer is “YES” Dick tator Dan has just extended his emergency powers for another 3 months to, you know, keep us safe.
Open crowds at the football, Moomba parade, Grand Prix, a promise, yet to be fulfilled is no restrictions on crowds for ANZAC day march, lets see what he can pull out to make sure we cant celebrate this day which is so special to many people.
180
Exactly! Why do they want to keep us disgusting, filthy, germ-ridden, unvaxxed, Bolshie types in the country?
Surely better to let us go and infect – and thus weaken – foreign competitors.
70
But the WHO claims they’re protecting the world now. Geesh, didn’t you get the memo?
“Vaccinated” super-spreader events are fine. It would have been worse without the vax, right? Letting politicians, “vaccinated” or not, globe-trot is fine, even if they have a virus, because let’s face it, their policies are way worse than any virus they might spread. You gotta keep things in perspective.
Unvaccinated people, most of whom probably have either innate or post-infection durable immunity cannot be allowed to travel because they are naughty and didn’t do what the TV/Social Media/Fack-Chekas told them to do.

Once a prisoner island, always a prisoner island. And it’s all for your own safety, (so they say).
Why isn’t there a process to get rid of bad legislation, a simple registration of complaint would work, somewhere the public can lodge their formal objection to a law and then the law is revoked. I’d recommend that rejection should occur if 30% of the voting public object.
If you think 30% is too low, remember half the voting public couldn’t care less. If you have ever had a conversation on the law with the average punter you’d see the waste that is compulsory voting. Thank goodness for slip on shoes.
241
All legislation should also have a sunset clause, no longer than the term of the government. That way it can be constantly reviewed and assessed and would give intellectually lazy politicians something to do.
171
Yes better consider every 3-4 years whether murder should still be a crime 🙄
02
So when do I get the refund for my 10 year passport?
390
Good point. Ask them for a refund for the period you aren’t allowed to use it.
140
Not only can I not leave Australia ( not that I have any desire to right now ), I cannot even visit my own Mother in a local aged care facility. As we all well know, if you are vaccinated…and boosted…you can still carry and pass on Covid. But, as I decided not to partake of the clot shot, I am not allowed into an aged care facility. I’m not even allowed to tuen up with a negative RAT test.
However, if you are vaccinated, there are no restrictions to entry.
I cannot see the difference between a vaccinated individual carrying Covid into an aged care facility and myself, but the Government can. I’ll never forgive of forget what these bastards are doing.
Apparently , my Mum is better off sitting alone in her room.
460
I really sympathize with you Glenn. Unfortunately it has affected many of us who have elderly kin in care. I cannot believe how supine as a nation we have become.
240
Hi Glenn, the vaccines that are not Astra Zeneca have never been shown to have a clotting risk.
026
No, just over 1,200 other adverse effects up to and including death.
260
I addressed his clot concern which seemed paramount.
113
Clot has another meaning.
130
OK. I addressed one meaning.
111
Gee Aye. there are lots of other kinds of clots, and the other vaccines appear to be implicated in All Cause Mortality increases often due to heart attacks and strokes. Just because AZ and the adenovirus vectors have a known risk of a particular weird rare clot does not therefore mean the other vaccines don’t carry risks of normal ordinary clots also known as “heart attacks” and “strokes”.
The other new wildly experimental vaccines have not been shown NOT to cause clotting because the data is all commercial in confidence and Pfizer wanted to hide it for 75 years.
110
My recollection is that the very first vax death in Oz was a 50 year woman who died of brain clotting very soon after AZ vax.
130
Like I wrote.
08
Never? Are you sure you want to continue with that statement? 🤔
70
Yes… note I said “shown to be” and “risk”. I never made an absolute statement about clotting occurring.
010
You said, and I quote “ Hi Glenn, the vaccines that are not Astra Zeneca have never been shown to have a clotting risk.”
J&J “vaccine”…….” The FDA has ordered that a warning on the risk of immune thrombocytopenia (“ITP”), a blood clotting disorder, be added to the fact sheet given to healthcare providers that administer the Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) COVID-19 vaccine.”
I only need this to disprove your statement. There are papers discussing the blood clotting reactions to the Moderna and Pfizer “vaccines”. All you have to do is search for them.
120
Glen lives in Australia.
05
So do I. So? You didn’t say anything about being exclusive to Australia.
Are you so blinded that you can’t investigate the clotting risks on Moderna, Pfizer and the rest?
100
Well sorry… next time I will answer his question specifically about him being vaccinated in Australia with a full list of overseas vaccines and their health outcomes.
07
*statement not question
06
Moderna and Pfizer are used here not just overseas.
90
Oh funny! Listen to G.I. try to squirm out of that. Not a very good try either.
10
Not as much clotting, just severe neurological and heart problems with some shingles, bells palsy and guillain barre syndrome thrown in. Not to mention the ‘fully vaccinated’ appear to be super spreaders of covid.
Ex champion footballer, now commentator Matthew Lloyd was diagnosed with bells palsy recently and would you believe it, his mother in law also contracted the condition, as did an ex team mate of his. I recall a nsw health minister and a canadian health official suffering the drooped faces during press conferences pushing the faux vaccines. Must be climate change…

As I had Seniors Flu Vax yesterday was, asked by GP when I was going to get vaccinated now Novavax – said would leave at moment till over post op (then told at Hospital new op next week to tidy up)
Told her it was B’obvious Vaccines don’t work and reminded her of US CDC changing on 1 September 2021, definition of Vaccine from “Provides Immunity” to “Provides Protection” which Pfizer definitely does NOT, as my Family of 5 in Europe, all triple Pfizer doses all got Covid over 1 and 1/2 weeks, so why bother, was going to stick with antivirals approach of last 2 years.
In the meantime
Study: 4th booster protects the elderly… for four weeks
My GP said they believe it is going to be a bad Flu season in Australia, which is the reason she suggested yesterday Flu Vax early April rather than my usual Late Apr/Early May – agreed with her will have second Flu Vax later in year
150
There is general agreement that the covid injections are not vaccinations. Are the flu vaccines worthy of the title?
Disclaimer: never had a flu injection. don’t recall ever having the flu.
250
Good question Forrest. In other words is the influenza vaccine subjected to a double blind trial with an end point of all cause mortality and shown to be efficacious? Well I know for certain there is a pattern with Big Pharma and it is analogous to Sgt Schultz. Big Pharma are expert at being complete hypocrites when it comes to interventions that results in a minuscule absolute risk reduction/benefit.
I would dearly love to see how the “95% efficacy” claim for Pfizer injection is going!! With close to 5 000 000 “break through: infections “Herd immunity” is not on the cards any more!
81
Over on Michael Smith news site, a poster has data up that shows the effectiveness of the Flu vaccines over the last 20 years is a low 40%.
It would be worth chasing this up.

Glen, there’s no secret the flu vax has always been advertised on the CDC site as 40 – 60% effective. Most people might not know it, but it’s been like that for years. One year, I think 2013 was as low as 25%.
70
John Roark’s substack has some articles about the flu and covid vaccines that are pertinent. I particularly liked ‘Flubar: When the CDC meets the flu’. https://johnhowardroark.substack.com/p/flubar-when-the-cdc-meets-the-flu?s=r

Australian Seniors Flu Vaccine
These are for flu not wuhu.
Two brands.
Each protect against three viruses and are known as trivalents, they are:
Fluzone High Dose by Sanofi-Aventis and
Fluad by Seqirus.
10
Got the flu vax early in 2017 because I was visiting elderly parents etc. Then got the flu in September and bedridden for a couple of days. Get it early and there is chance the flu could change. Remember, the flu vax is based on a best guess estimate by vaccine developers. So, basically you need to get jabbed every 3 months. That rings alarm bells for me.
131
I got the flu jab a few years ago when it was in short supply, ended up getting it in late winter, heard on the news later in the year that it was only 10% effective against the current strain.
60
Good morning Jo,
Yes, yet more proof that we’ve just been through 2 years of hell, aka. the world’s first panic-demic!
As George Christensen lately in his valedictory speech to Federal Parliament, shutting the world down for a medical epidemic that has a fatality rate of less than 0.03% is verging on insane, or words to that effect.
BTW. Please don’t start moralising to me about every life is important, I should know as I was the first person to find one of the first suicides of the Panic-demic in my own street two years ago last month, and I have been permanently affected by this.
At no time in the last two years have we been provided with information about how many deaths (both suicide & untreated cancer), divorces & business failings have been caused by our Premiers zeal to keep hitting the “Great Reset” “Economic Freeze” buzzer.
I hope this madness is all resolved in weeks/months, and not years.
Warm regards, reformed warmist of Logan.

Objective:Health – Covid Restrictions Dropping Around the World
Covid restrictions are continuing to drop around the planet right now, much to the chagrin of the Covid Karens who are refusing to let up on the mask-wearing and social distancing. People in countries which are stubbornly refusing to drop restrictions may do best to just hang on – since the world seems to basically be in lock-step on this, it probably won’t be long before they’re dropped everywhere.
Join us on this episode (23 Min 11 Sec) of Objective:Health as we look into the mass dropping of Covid restrictions. How long before they’re back?

Any suggestions about the 3rd and 4th shots being mandatory? I stopped at dual jabs of astra and I ain’t going any further. So far I don’t think I’ve contracted the bug.
110
Was sitting at a car club lunch yesterday with a bunch of older people all talking about their booster shots. They are up to number four, and so happy about it. One said it was the only thing keeping them “safe” and the others nodded in agreement. I asked how long they think they would be having boosters and they just shrugged , so it seems they are resigned to lining up every few months for the rest of their lives.
Its just as well other actual vaccines actually vaccinate or we really would end up being pin cushions.
210
Only four injections? The Australian Government has ordered enough doses for every Australian aged zero plus to have ten.
120
I was hoping they would give some away to our neighbouring countries, but I guess that goes against the secret deal they sign with Big Pharma.
50
Australia has donated hundreds of Millions to the Bill Gates covax plan, this is for increasing heart disease in our pacific neighbours. those 10 are for Australians, better make that 11 as 10% of the population still have a brain.

Someone up there said “dangerous virus”.
I’m unvaccinated – just had Covid – it’s over now – it’s the mildest cold I ever had. Boy oh boy I do not regret not taking the poisonous vaccine. Despite I’m still on long service leave then unpaid leave starting next week. What a con this has all been. I’m 53 years old and still healthy. Our government, the TGA, the AHPRA and the health departments need to be flushed down the toilet, right out of our system. Scott Morrison – what a disappointment you are you double minded con artist, supporting the fourth industrial revolution and the WEF while pretending to be a Christian.

Here is an excellent video concerning modern society’s obsession with “fear” and “safety” which obviously has direct consequences for many aspects of life in Nanny State Australia.

https://youtu.be/wIl39KKrmmo
13.5 mins duration.
40
It also talks about fear bringing about “inverted quarantine” where the healthy quarantine themselves from the sick. Where have we seen that…?
50
I think the healthy have always quarantined themselves from the sick so they stay healthy.
20
When I worked in a custodial facility in close physical contact with the inmates we were not allowed to know who had serious communicable diseases because it was considered “discriminatory”, (although we could tell Hepatitis sufferers by their yellow eyes).
Consequently our health was at stake and occasionally suffered.
Preventing staff from serious infection was considered less important than the appearance of preventing the mortal sin of discrimination.
Now we have a disease so sacred, (even though the fatality rate is less than 0.03%), that “discrimination” is now mandatory!
This whole fiasco proves that people are stupid and governments are “owned”.
Klaus openly bragged he owns half of the Canadian members of government.
Trudeau, Ardern, Zelensky and the rest, all graduates of Klaus’s Young Global Leaders cult.
Now they’re trying to indoctrinate primary school kids, and succeeding!
270
We have a “screw” loose.
40
No, it’ not about health. It’s all about vaccine hesitancy and we all know this because of the bans and censorship of possible non vaccine treatments. For example, there are a lot of cancer patients in Australia, who can receive monoclonal antibody treatments if they contract COVID. But all the haematologists and cancer doctors have been told not to publicise this. Same reason- if the general public found out that there are effective treatments for COVID, they would not get the jab.

who here has a small vaccination scar?
37
Smallpox
25
You mean SmallPox scar?
20
Snap – Yes have SmallPox Scar
20
Why do you have one?
19
Why do you have one? – Pass – my wife has one as well, as do friends who had SmallPox vaccinations at the same time
One guy from IBM (coming with us all overseas) Wife had a really bad reaction and spent 2 weeks in Hospital
How did the vaccination work?
The smallpox vaccine is delivered in a unique manner compared to many other vaccines used today. For example, a flu shot is delivered in a one-time stick using a single needle point that goes through several layers of skin and into the muscle. The smallpox vaccine is given using a special bifurcated (two-prong) needle. Instead of puncturing the skin one time, the person administering the vaccine will make multiple punctures in the skin to deliver the virus to the skin’s dermis, which is the layer just below the epidermis that is visible to the world. The vaccine doesn’t penetrate to the deeper skin layers, such as the subcutaneous tissue.
When the virus reaches this dermal layer, it starts to multiply. This causes a small, round bump known as a papule to develop. The papule then develops into a vesicle, which looks like a fluid-filled blister. Ultimately, this blistered area will scab over. While this signals what doctors usually regard as a successful vaccination, it can leave a mark for some people.
100
One bloke in my father’s intake batch to WW2 RAAF had a really bad reaction – a scab about 20 mm across which meant the arm action that went with marching was agony. He went to the MO with it.
The response he got was –
“Jeez – that’s how I like to see ’em”
80
the point was if you traveled it was mandatory, and you had to carry a passport to prove it.
011
So PEter? Smallpox killed 30% and the vaccine worked. What has that got to do with Covid, apart from to highlight how ridiculous the current rules are?
80
Before I was dragged off topic by the bots, Jo, I was pointing out that vaccine restrictions on travel were not new. Thus we are recapitulating history
07
What is your point Peter?
Smallpox was a deadly disease.
COVID for people without well known comorbidities such as obesity, immune deficiency, vitamin D and zinc deficiency, no access to HCQ or Ivermectin etc. is not a very deadly disease.
201
the rates for unvaccinated are about the same for both Smallpox and Covid – I do wish you would do some basic research first (ard as it is for bots of your generation)
The point for smallpox was this
it was not endemic in Australia.
therefore if you traveled to a country with endemic smallpox, a vaccination was required to maintain that clean status
So there is really no difference between then and now
018
And the smallpox vaccine actually works.
140
why do you have one?
112
Sorry, If you don’t have one can you leave Australia? That would be more close to the topic if you were reading.
70
The topic is discrimination on the basis of vaccination status, not about leaving a country
010
One simply cannot compare a vastly more lethal, non-mutagenic virus and a live attenuated vaccine with this rubbish we have been put through – a highly mutagenic virus with a mortality of less than 1% of smallpox, mass roll out of a non-sterilising “Vaccine” during a pandemic and isolation of the healthy. The only reason they have got away with it has been their campaign of fear and enough people willing to absorb the lies and deception by their government.
130
i did and mortality for then unvaccinated of both is about the same
011
You should look at smallpox mortality amongst American natives when Europeans arrived. I think you’ll find that it was a bit worse with their naive immune systems than SARSCoV2 has been with ours.
30
it was lethal to a wide range of american natives both north and south, and the asians. Some geographers argue that the high death rates caused reforestation of large areas of the Americas and tipping the globe into the LIA, according to the podcast ‘history of the 20th century’ by Mark Painter
07
Apart from your reply being incomprehensible here are some facts with their references.
30% is the fatality rate reported in Kotar, S., & Gessler, J. (2013). Smallpox: A History. Jefferson, North Carolina: McFarland & Company.
Koplan and Foster (1979) reported a range of 15 to 45%. Koplan, J., & Foster, S. (1979). Smallpox: Clinical Types, Causes of Death, and Treatment. Journal Of Infectious Diseases, 140(3), 440-441.
10
and the mortality rate for the covid unvaccinated? you will find it is the same
011

Absolutely! Australia is an especially fanatical follower of UN decrees and globalist beliefs in general.
And, as far as I know the only senior Australian Federal Government member who is a graduate of Herr Klaus Schwab’s organisation is Greg Hunt who is “responsible” for “health”. NZ PM Ardern is also a graduate.
140
The look of the Canadian scene would suggest a closer inspection of our lot is needed.
And, if no more are found, does that mean that Greg Hunt was the only one of our politicals considered bright enough?

Australia’s floods are going to get more extreme because of climate change, this expert says
The ANU Expert then says this,
Australia’s natural rainfall patterns are highly variable. This means the influence climate change has on any single weather event is difficult to determine; the signal is buried in the background of a lot of climatic “noise”.
Followed by, It is a combination of these natural climate drivers that makes Australia the land of drought and flooding rains.

Ardern is nothing but a poll driven junky. Any decision she makes is poll driven and then presented after a thorough vetting by her media department. There is talk that their internal polling is in the low 30’s and might even be in the 20’s. She was forced to change but still has maintained the restrictions that she could get away with – science was never considered.
Morrison, Ardern and Trudeau have trashed the reputations of their countries as shining beacons of liberal Western democracies by serving the WEF and tossing aside the concerns of their electorates.

“Set Australia Free Scott Morrison…” These words could be an election winner slogan for Albanese if he was prepared to do the sane thing and reverse the ‘no jab no leave’ policy. If Albanese and the ALP are good for anything, this would be a good start and a ray of hope for the persecuted.
60
One of my friends and her family, unvaxxed, have succeeded in escaping…….but it wasn’t for 3+ months…it was to move back permanently (or until such time as the mandates re no jab no job are reversed). She is an ER nurse too. One of many that have declined to participate in the worldwide clinical trials.
I could apply to leave also and maybe get approved BUT I would have problems returning to Australia and definitely would have problems getting back into Western Australia. Interestingly, there are FB groups to talk people thru getting travel exemptions and groups geared towards leaving permanently.
Speaking of WA, Speculation is that McGowan is going to extend the state of emergency into July. At the same time he is spending millions on tourism campaigns……
110
Yes, again we are really not one nation but a collection of state fiefdoms. How can Victoria and WA be still approving 3 month SOE conditions and Qld appearing to be going the opposite way. NSW somewhere in the middle, but generally all still clinging to the crazy close contact isolation rules. I have watched those WA ads here in Vic – they are cringe worthy.

Most states have also extended their SOE’s.
QLD lifted some of there restrictions, as the Chook said, it had achieved its purpose 94% vaccination rate.

I overheard two young women discussing Covid in a supermarket yesterday. The gist of their discussion was they agreed they needed to get Covid to be well protected. There was some disappointment that they had both avoided it so far. That supported my contention that it is now well known that natural immunity affords the best protection against future infection.
There is very clear evidence that natural immunity is much more effective than high level of vaccination from the perspective of passing on the virus. Even Russia has fewer cases than Australia now:
https://91-divoc.com/pages/covid-visualization/?chart=countries-normalized&highlight=Russia&show=highlight-only&y=both&scale=linear&data=cases-daily-7&data-source=jhu&xaxis=right&extra=Australia%2CUnited%20States%2CNew%20Zealand#countries-normalized
It is evident that countries that have experienced high level of cases are now not spreading the virus as fast as places that have not yet experienced high case numbers. Some of the difference may be reporting systems but Australia is relying heavily on self-reporting.
Russia’s fatality rate is now at 1.7% so that is poor compared to Australia at just 0.13%. So vaccinations are still playing a role in reducing severity.
111
I am curious that 2% of the Jab don’t partake JabJab, and 1/3 of JabJab don’t have JabJabJab.
All cause mortality is the parameter to observe. It was not an issue prior to Jab mandates.
First SIX months of 2021 – under 900 cases in Oz and ONE fatality.
First THREE months of 2022 4,083,495 cases and 3709 deaths.
CFR approx 1/1000 in both instances.
And there is Data for Fauxination being 1000x times more dangerous than any other vaccine but still the “rollout” continues.
70
Australia is one of a small number of countries that has consistently recorded negative excess deaths since the beginning of 2020. That situation may change as omicron spreads rapidly and still gets people into hospital directly or indirectly.
11
Rick, fatality rates in Australia are very hard to compare to Russia. We avoided most of the nasty variants. We had a much higher testing rate. We also may have higher Vitamin D levels. Who knows? The difference in fatality is likely to be mostly Delta cases versus Omicron.
60
VACCINE EFFECTIVENESS IS FADING
For the last year, liberals have demanded hysterically that everyone be vaccinated against covid. Many people who preferred not to be vaccinated, for whatever reason, have lost their jobs. Others have been denied access to restaurants and other public accommodations. But how well do the covid vaccines actually work?
Relatively soon after they became available, it became obvious that the vaccines do not necessarily prevent one from contracting, or spreading, covid. Fine, liberals said: the real point is that the vaccines prevent you from getting seriously ill so as to require hospitalization or even die. For a while, that claim seemed plausible. But more recent data indicate that whatever effectiveness the vaccines may have had at preventing serious illness is slipping away.
At Healthy Skeptic, “breakthrough” cases, hospitalizations and deaths are tracked over time for each age cohort. The data come from Minnesota, but there is no apparent reason why other states would show different results. You can see all of the charts at the link, but here are the key ones:

The UKHSA weekly data has been analysed by an ex-academic and senior Government scientist who goes by the nom de plume of Amanuensis. He has been tracking the trending negative efficacy of the vaccines in various age groups in the UK. His latest and probably last post is at

Here is a set of Dirty Dozen questions about Covid.
Included are many important questions that have evaded official Australian government answers or statements. Some are:
1. Is there advantage or harm from vaccination of people who have already had Covid infection hence natural immunity?
2. How many weeks is effective protection lasting after vaccination with 1 jab, 2 jabs, 3 jabs, 4 jabs, 5 jabs?
3. For young children, mostly so far unvaccinated in Australia, what is the relative risk of vaccination-induced protection versus natural induced protection from having had Covid?
4. What is the expert estimation of the probability of a new Covid strain that will out-compete Omicron strains in infection rate, but be more serious in harm from infection?
5. What is the real reason for placing restrictions on doctors offering treatments like Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine?
6. Are there now firm numbers measuring deaths “From Covid” versus “With Covid”?
7. Did Australia have any financial inducements for hospitals or doctors to rank Covid as a cause of death when other factors were probable? (There were some USA examples where hospital subsidies were higher if Covid was involved).
8. Why did Australia have fewer excess deaths in 2020 and 2021 than expected from excess death calculations from prior years? (Almost all other countries had more excess deaths during Covid years.)
9. Are numbers available for the number of deaths expected from ill patients not using normal procedures like screening for breast cancer because Covid was a deterrent to normal medical protocols for one reason or another?
10. What criteria will be used to determine that this Covid episode is finished for Australia, to the extent that no further government regulation is required.
11. Was Covid already finished as of 1 April 2022, in the sense that no more restrictive government interventions would produce societal gains?
12. Can Australian governments back out of agreements made in the heat of the moment, like Joint Ventures with vaccination makers, such as building Australian vaccine manufacturing plant?

I have recollection that Dan The Man in Vic backed out of some road building contracts, that he promised would not cost anything (except for about a billion dollars). But then what is a billion dollars to a politician?
Not forgetting that no one in government knew who allocated 30 million to a hotel security company and who paid it.

Simple solution – let’s have a locally developed protein based vax without a 30 page list of adverse reactions.
Then I’ll consider taking it. Now – where to go that isn’t just as bad…
Meanwhile outside the convict colony:
Mandatory vaccination in the EU.
After June 30 2022
* The European Council has amended resolution 2361 and no longer objects to compulsory vaccination.
* As of July 1 2022 the EU has announced the legislation for the mandatory EU COVID 19 Certificates that deprive you of all freedoms if you do not have a QR covid certificate. If there is a majority of member states signing the legislation, compulsory vaccination will be introduced.
* At the end of 2022/2023 there will be a digital currency.
* The EU will impose a digital ID on every EU citizen. (The Dutch already have this and are already referring to the EU version on the digld.nl website)
* All ATMs will be replaced by QR code ATMs in the near future, Belgium is already installing them full swing.
*If these QR code machines are integrated, cash can no longer be withdrawn from banks and/or elsewhere.
*The EU aims to make cash completely worthless within 18 months.
*The EU resolution permanently deprives every person of their physical integrity.

I have never heard of this web site and have never heard of these regulations. I am British. If these stories were true our very anti EU newspapers would surely be all over it

PUTIN’S VACCINE PASSPORT: starting Monday in Moscow, you must be vaccinated and obtain a QR code to enter all restaurants, cafes and bars.
Starting Monday, all restaurants, cafes and bars in Moscow will only allow in customers who have been vaccinated against COVID-19, recovered from the virus within the past six months or can provide a negative coronavirus test carried out in the previous 72 hours.
To prove their credentials, customers will need to obtain a QR code at one of several government websites.
The Kremlin also said on Tuesday that people who were not vaccinated against COVID-19 or did not have immunity would be unable to work in all workplaces in Russia and that those people could be discriminated against.
“The reality is such that discrimination will inevitably set in. People without vaccination or immunity will not be able to work everywhere. It is not possible. It will pose a threat to those around them.”

Covid is NOTHING compared to what follows it. I’ve said that since day 1 and the reality of that claim will become clear soon enough.

More covid?

A defibrillator shortage…
(Different to the ventilator shortage in the USA that the top 3 manufacturing company reporting and Wall St data said didn’t exist and in fact sales declined markedly…)
Coles and Woolies have defibs and they’ll probably need them giving the direction of food prices.
Today I went to get tested to see if I’m sick.
Tomorrow I’m going to the cemetery to see if I’m dead.
(If I am dead I intend to vote in the US elections 😅)

I should apply for an exit permit under two exceptions
It’s in the national interest for me to leave because I’m not fully vaccinated, and I urgently need the Australian vaccine that’s not available in Australia.

Let us know how it goes.

Or…
The “response” has been so crazy I want to get out of here!

Went to withdraw cash from my local friendly ATM
half an hour ago. It’s no longer there!

The ATM or your cash?

:0 The ATM…

All the shopping center ATMs locally have been replaced by commercial non bank branded ones….
So to get $$ cash without a fee you go to the one at your bank….

2.9 million people died from Pneumonia and Influenza in 2018 in the USA.
Cases mysteriously drop by 98% in 2020.
2.8 million die from “Covid” in 2020.
Does anyone need help with that?
Can’t wait for Rob Malone’s WEF data dump 😉

Please — check your numbers before you post.
“2.9 million people *DIDNT* die from Pneumonia and Influenza in 2018 in the USA.”. Actual recorded influenza deaths in the US are tiny in comparison (around 3,000 – 15,000). Most people don’t get tested so the CDC makes up an estimated number. The CDC estimates the “burden” of influenza deaths in 2017-2018 was 79,000.
Pneumonia is a whole different thing caused by many many different infectious agents, but even so the entire deaths worldwide of pnumonia is about 3 million. That’s global, not “the US”.
And cases of influenza didn’t mysteriously drop. It was entirely predictable from 50 year old microbiology textbooks. The R0 of influenza is only 1.4 — it is easily stopped by the action people took to reduce the spread of Covid with an Ro ranging from 3 – 8. Once the R0 is below 1, any infection will die out. The disappearance of influenza is just maths.
All other common respiratory diseases were also reduced — apart from RSV. What it is about Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) that has led to increases — especially in summer — is a very interesting question. It may be that general immunity to RSV is better in times when other respiratory viruses circulate. RSV — by the way — is a common virus that you will catch many times in your lifetime and natural immunity is short-lived.

I’m a filthy unvaxxed vermin Aussie and I got out. I applied 8 times but finally got an exemption. I don’t know why… I think I just got lucky. I will NEVER go back, but I have experience so if anyone wants advice feel free to contact me

What is to prevent me sailing off in my yacht to NZ , Fiji, Bali etc etc ?
Are the fun police going to chase me just to check my vax status ?

Parallel universe crazy. I am in Thailand at the moment and it has been a crazy experience travelling from Australia. Thailand will sink into the sea without the amount of paperwork they are generating around Covid. I had 2 Astra Zeneca and a 3rd Moderna which put me in a deep brain fog for 2 weeks to the extent that I was staring at my computer screen like I had suffered a stroke. They will need attack helicopters to get me to have the 4th jab.
The vaccine does not work, simple.
To restrict people’s freedom of movement because of a vaccine that is unequivocally scientifically proven to not work is so surreal I wonder if I am still in my Moderna brain fog.

LVA has not got a lot of nous.

What is the rational for this ? I do not believe there is one, other than trying to force everybody to be compliant. To take a jab you don’t need against a disease you don’t know
you have unless you get a test.

Well, why are you people still discussing Covid?? We are getting close to the mythical herd immunity when enough people realise it was never a problem and start asking awkward questions of their betters.
Instead, you are meant to be screaming “Putin is a Nazi” and “Destroy Russia”, along with the other Western poodles, and ignoring Covid completely.
This is important so you forget about the loss of freedom involved, and instead worry about the cost of petrol and groceries, which is all due to Putin again!
The Covid scam is over, we have all moved on, there is a new distraction. Get with the narrative!
I was hoping that when Russia destroys Europe we would see a more liberal ‘devil-may-care’ Russian attitude towards Covid, but JC has ruined my day-
“starting Monday in Moscow, you must be vaccinated and obtain a QR code to enter all restaurants, cafes and bars.”
