To return to WA, travellers must have had one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine and show they have had a negative test in the 72 hours before departure.
So mandatory vaccines are now a matter of when not if, adding to the already comprehensive list of lies Australians have been told in the previous 18 months. The argument to be used once again like clockwork to be some form of “as the facts change so must our response”. But this back-flip and let me be very clear this is a straight up back-flip on previous promises has come as no surprise to anyone who has been paying attention.
Whilst politicians being incompentent monsters is to be expected what has really shocked me is the rationalising of these events by the Australian population at large. A recent post by a friend brought to this clearly in focus when she said:
Thinking of my family and friends in Greater Sydney. Dreaming with you of what October will be like once we reach that 70% vaccination rate
Unless that dream is of rolling lockouts, arbitrary rules, a general severe reduction in freedoms and a complete disregard for the negative consequences of “defeating covid” I suspect she will be disappointed. Optimism is important but foolishness will not get us out of this mess.
Where this expectation that things will get better, once we hit a new arbitrary target comes from is a mystery to me. I still remember “14 days to flatten the curve” back in March 2020 which is now sailing past “500 days to eliminate a transmissible virus with no plans on international travel and using a vaccine that doesn’t stop transmission”.
But the list goes far beyond this, in the U.S we had you don’t need a mask, to wearing a mask, to wearing double or triple mask, to no need for a mask after vaccinations, to now wearing a mask once again. Back in Australia we had the NSW Premier exclaiming we won’t need any more lockdowns in March 2022, however we have given the most draconian restrictions yet with Sydney entering its 9th week of lockdowns. We had little chance of transmission during the BLM protest last year to avoiding talking to your neighbours this year. We had talk of vaccines wiping out covid to now simply reducing the severity of the disease once you catch it. We were told that vaccines are completely safe to now multiple deaths of healthy young people from blood clots. We were told you only need one shot of the vaccine which become double shot and will now be an annual booster shot at minimum.
At what point will the majority of Australians stop believing what they are being told and ask questions. We still have 75% of Australians supporting lockdowns. Regardless if that is a dodgy poll or uneducated Australians or a genuine love for big brother it is a disturbing result. When we will hold decision makers responsible and demand transparency behind their decisions and their plans moving forward?
I can help with a few questions:
- If Israel vaccination rate for adults is well over 80% why are they still looking at lockdowns?
- If the vaccine doesn’t stop transmissions are we looking at lockdowns indefinitely?
- What plans does the government have with regards to international travel. Are we to become North Korea or are we prepared for the virus to return to Australia should we open the borders?
- What studies are we using to make the assumption that masks work?
- Why are anti-viral drugs Hydroxycholoroquine and Ivermectin considered unsafe despite being used for 90 years collectively but a vaccine rolled out in less then a year is totally fine for the entire population?
- Why do politicians keep referring to “the experts” or “the science” like its some monolithic thing when there are conflicting opinions amongst the experts and science?
- When did we decide that personal health matters were the responsibility of politicians? Where will we draw the line in the future, will we be forced to exercise daily, ban sugar, ban dangerous activities or have fitness watches sending data to big brother daily to ensure we are getting enough steps in?
- Why the hell do we let politicians get away with ridiculous and contradictory rules such as having to sit down when having a drink, or not allowing dancing at a wedding.
- Why do we need to wear a mask and be double vaxxed?
- Why do we need to quarantine even with a negative result? Does that mean the test don’t work?
Feel free to add your questions below.
Sweden Gets It on COVID. Why Won’t the Rest of the World Pay Attention?
What country has few Covid deaths per day, no lockdowns, and delicious meatballs?
Sweden is kicking Covid in the crotch. Perhaps Australian authorities should stop beating their own citizens long enough to take a look at what Sweden is, and isn’t, doing. They aren’t locking down. They aren’t pepper-spraying 12-year-old girls who resist mask-mandate tyranny, and, unlike most of the world, they aren’t getting slaughtered by Covid.

Get a load of this patronising horseshit, setting out Beryl Gladyschlocklian’s wondrously benevolent “new freedoms” for NSW:
People across NSW who have received both doses of a COVID-19 vaccine will be allowed more freedoms next month after NSW hit the target of six million jabs.
From 12.01am, Monday, 13 September:
For those who live outside the LGAs of concern, outdoor gatherings of up to five people (including children) will be allowed in a person’s LGA or within 5km of home.
For those who live in the LGAs of concern, and who have responded to the call out to get vaccinated, households with all adults vaccinated will be able to gather outdoors (including picnics) within the existing rules (for one hour only, outside curfew hours and within 5km of home)

Adam,
I’m over even asking questions. I am just damned ANGRY. Beyond belief, really…never been so angry.
It seems to me that Australia has “distinguished” itself in having maybe the most autocratic response in the western world to COVID.
We have bureaucrats and politicians who seem incapable of grasping the changes OS in covid responses and a media who have abrogated their purpose of presenting accurate and up-to-date reporting.
But worse, we have at least 2/3 of our adult population who similarly seem incapable of analysing a medical phenomenon and have succumbed to widespread panic.
I have rarely felt so despondent.

So Morrison and the Government have told another blatant lie which, the so-called Premiers are utilising to their perceived advantage.
During the last few months they have been discreetly promoting an OPT OUT form under the Privacy Act. This allowed us to opt OUT of having our COVID information including being jabbed being made available to anyone, this is the same as when we opted out of having ANY of our other medical information being made available to anyone other than a Dr with our permission.
This was duly signed AND returned as required by both myself and she who has put up with me for 40 odd years.
We are aware of many with whom we associate having done the same thing.
Morrison has shown himself to be every bit as BAD as Turnbull, Rudd and Gillard since the beginning of this propaganda, scare campaign. However, he has now shown beyond doubt that he is as deceitful and full of cunning and malice as Whitlam and Fraser, not exactly the a noteworthy place to be.
Perhaps a more appropriate title rather than Scomo should be SCUMO.

Vicki, I’ve been pondering my own emotional response to all the rubbish that’s been heaped upon all of us.
I can’t do anger for long. It interferes with the blood pressure. But I can do disgust in truckloads. It’s like a trusted employee ripping you off, or a friend disclosing a confidence, turning a shell over on the beach and finding a maggot-writhen mess. The people who govern me disgust me. All of them.
On the national level, the failure is stark. They have destroyed national pride, what it means to be Australian (even if this was only a chimera, it meant something). Biden has done the same to America. Has it been deliberate, or an accident waiting to happen? A toxic combination of crisis and inept numpties in power attempting to handle it, or something more sinister?
I don’t know. I don’t trust our government with anything. I can’t see that trust ever returning.

I’ve not used them so don’t have personal experience (govt never gave me the free scottphone yet) but in the state I’m imprisoned in you can legally scan the beastmark at any time – entering, during or when you exit the shop.

Additional questions I’d like answered:-
How do we know that they can tell the difference between Covid-19, and variants, and the normal Covid Influenza varieties?
With 2 winter seasons now virtually passed, the concentrated urbanization of the vast majority of the Australian population, the number of people that have arrived in Australia since March 2020 then how do ‘they’ and we not believe that most of us have been exposed to covid-19 and variants already?
What are the number of business closures and applications for bankruptcy in comparison to the norm?
How does the Age distribution of Deaths differ during these Days of Covid-19 to the long term norm?
Which Politicians, Public Servants, Media and their families have investments in the Covid-19 and variants Vaccine originators, manufacturers and distributors?

Why are people required to QR code when entering a shop but not upon leaving?
And following this question:
What has become of the “fifteen minutes to be infected” idea?
If I go into a shop for less than fifteen minutes, how would the QR app know? It clearly can’t unless I go somewhere else and zap the code there.
Now to make a related point:
We are prohibited from going into small-business-type premises by the structure of the lockdown/curfew rules about essential vs non-essential businesses (yet another specious bureaucratic idea).
Our essential grocery-type shopping is therefore herded towards the big four retailers (Coles Woolworth, Aldi, IGA for simplicity) where we spend more than fifteen minutes. Is not that asking to be infected, whereas going to a take-away and picking up a phoned order will take less than five minutes BUT we must zap the QR code because we are still supposedly at risk of infection – huh?
And finally, how confident are we that the government-operated QR code tracing log is actually deleted after 28 days?

That is it, all those that were covid cases at the beginning of this lock down in NSW now over 60 days. What has been the outcome of the cases, say diagnosed in the first 28 days. Have any of those people died from covid. If anything thay would be cured after 14 days supposing they followed the health rules and were isolated.

Hold the convicted in a wire cage at one end of a football field. Let them out one at a time. If they can run through the other goal they go free.
However one side of the field is lined with punters with semi auto rifles. We can sell those positions for say $100 a throw. Then we can take bets on how far each of the convicted will make.

QR codes and checkout … I always check out as quickly as possible on leaving a shop. (Open the app, touch on “covid safe check-in”, then “recent” and do the checkout.)

_______________________________________________
I went to my nearest Colesworth store yesterday and noticed that a few of the parking bays near the mall entrance were painted bright red and collection bay signs were erected. I have seen similar with other retailers and hardware stores in the past, for people who didn’t want to leave their cars to avoid the deadly sniffles.
I’d guess that that is our future. You’re unvaccinated and want a loaf of bread, phone your order to Colesworth and drive to the red bays and someone will bring your stuff to you.
That could make life easier, even the vaccinated might pretend that they are unvaccinated to get that extra service.

I am just damned ANGRY. Beyond belief, really…never been so angry.
I am feeling a lot of pressure to get vaxxed – a lot.
Despite being an “essential worker”, I will now “require” at least one “jab” to continue going to work from next week. I am still trying to discover if a standard RT-PCR test is OK, or whether the company needs the fast anti-gen testing setup (they are unlikely to get it). NSW GovCo website says the fast anti-gen test is “not as good” as the RT-PCR test, and while it says getting the fast anti-gen test is OK, it doesn’t say the RT-PCR test is OK for someone in my position. Even if it is, how long will that last?
If I am not physically present, I can only do about 50% of my job, so I basically won’t have a job at some point if I can’t come in any more. That would put me in a rather severe bind, financially.
Seeing my doc ASAP re the whole sorry mess.
Not happy at being coerced into taking it, but not sure the alternative is a real option.

So to be clear:
Vaccination is optional, but mandatory, although voluntary, but you cannot refuse, more precisely you can, but you can be fired, although it is illegal, but the judge decided it is not.
No revaccination needed, although it might be required, but not necessarily, since the vaccine protects for 2 years, but the antibody count will be too low in six months, however you will have some antibodies, but they won’t help against the new variants, nonetheless another jab will help grow new antibodies, but we are not sure if that will be the case.
Get vaccinated and you won’t get sick, although you may get sick later, but it won’t be as severe, although there are new variants, but you should not get sick, however there is a lot of patients with the antibodies, but you are immune if you already had the disease or were vaccinated, but we are not sure of that, therefore get vaccinated, which is optional, but is going to be mandatory. /s

Can you please advise and provide proof of the approved legal status of any vaccine and if it is experimental?
Can you please provide details and assurances that the vaccine has been fully, independently and rigorously tested against control groups and the subsequent outcomes of those tests?
Can you please advise the entire list of contents of the vaccine I am to receive and if any are toxic to the body?
Can you please fully advise of all the adverse reactions and risks associated with this vaccine since its introduction?
Can you please confirm and prove that the vaccine you are advocating is NOT ‘experimental mRNA gene altering therapy’?
Can you please confirm that I will not be under any duress from yourselves as my employers, in compliance with the Nuremberg Code?
Can you please advise me of the likely risk of fatality, should I be unfortunate to contract Covid 19 and the likelihood of recovery, and in those circumstances in the case where my life insurance may be invalid, that you will cover me to the same $ amount if I died?
Can you please advise contact details of your insurer and the policy number and contact details from WorkSafe in case I do suffer any adverse reactions or death.
Once I have received the above information in full and I am satisfied that there is NO threat to my health, I will be happy to consider your offer to receive the treatment, but with certain conditions – namely that:
You confirm in writing that I will suffer NO harm.
I look forward to your response in writing.

Never mind the Nuremberg Code, there is the Australian Immunisation Register and the legal problem of informed consent, which assumes, expects, even demands that you be not under ANY form of coercion or duress.
