    “The overseas experience is that it is not; as is typical for mutations; but as I said since this chink virus is man-made who knows what surprises (even to themselves) the chunks and that fucking dwarf bastard fauci put in this shit virus.”

    Yes – as has been said here before – the normal course would be for the virus to become more infectious, but less deadly.

    However, as Robert Malone has pointed out, indiscriminate vaccination may also lead to ADEs as they found in virus vaccines for Dengue & the famous example in Marek’s virus in chooks. Most recently, however,he has conceded that there are, as yet, no “signals” that this is occurring. The breakthroughs in vaccinated populations don’t necessarily indicate ADEs apparently.

    On the other hand, as cohenite notes, & Jo Nova has argued – this virus seems to have been endowed with “a bag of tricks” by the Chinese.

    M0nty, given the propensity of ‘you lot’ to label anyone who disagrees with you a Nazi, you really shouldn’t be bemused, you should be embarrassed. But you’re not much prone to self analysis.

    Well said Dot. This is insane. I’m very fortunate that I took up an offer I couldn’t refuse for work a few years ago because if I had stayed where I was I’d have been unemployed 18 months ago. In this job, any look at pay cuts would result in condemnation heard from the moon. But apart from the financial aspect, the kind of psychological torture being enacted on people by governments is off the charts. Single people who live more than 5km from their friend or relatives in Western Sydney are literally cut off from society. Family violence is rampant. Private family issues normally resolved by getting some space from each other are now exacerbated and unable to be diffused because people are locked up. St Gladys is as much of a tyrant as The Emperor, The Princess, The Marshmallow, Gutless Gutwein or Dictator Dan

    Afraid not. The Vic deaths almost all belong to Scotty Mengelson and the incompetent Richard Colbeck. They just let the virus rip through the private aged “care” sector for which they were and still are totally responsible.

    Tezza, if you’re going to be a decent troll you have to at least put some effort in. This bullshit about scomo being responsible for the hunchback’s massacre in victoristan gets wheeled out by leftie shitheads all the time. It’s wrong for 2 simple reasons:

    1 The feds are responsible for the aged care facilities but the states have the control of the security to do with the chunk virus, the tracing, lockdowns and all health edicts. The hunchback made the decision about the security for the homes, gave it to a political mate which had no experience and allowed the virus to get into the homes. End of fucking story.

    2 If it was scomo’s fault why didn’t it happen in any other state.

    Now take your hand off your tiny dick and try to do better.

    In the cold war, the USSR set up an ideological army of lefties in the West and told them to push various lines that would hamstring us. No nuclear power was one, taking over the education system and instilling Marxist thought was another. The group doing this grew and the ideology mutated, but the basic aim of destroying capitalism is still going strong. It’s getting close to the end.

    No effective counter has been developed. It easily could have been, but the threat has been ignored by the authorities, largely because they’ve been corrupted.

    Is it Trump’s fault that millions are accepting the Jabs?
    No, they were going to do it anyway but at least with Trump ‘taking credit’ for the Jabs he already knew were in development, he’s also caused millions, Trumpers & Anti-Trumpers alike, to stop and seriously look at just how untrustworthy the health bureaucracies & medical professions overlords are.

    Thanks for the info, Nelson KP.

    For those with multiple browsers who want to access this feature, I’m using Firefox. It took a couple of comments for it to kick in.

    Not having to type the email address every time saves me a lot of time and errors. 🙂

    I notice that it also works for my handle, but it’s short and easy to type. Those with longer handles might benefit.

    I’m sitting at the beach; it’s a beautiful day with great waves and lots of surfies out there mixing it up. I’ve decided to have lunch here because in a couple of hours it’s lockdown.

    I fully endorse what Dot just wrote. I know it’s been said before but we’re surrounded by fools, idiots and proto-fascists.

    Peak bodies and loose international memberships are the problem. As well as every man and his dog from the upper class most specifically wanting to main relationships and social connections.

    Ps wish I could put up a photo.

    The last six years- from the Trumble putsch to the Bidet putsch have been a lesson in how degenerate, rotten, treacherous and venal the political-media establishment is. We always knew they were bad (and some we thought maybe no so bad) but I never had any idea that they were as loathsome and evil as they have turned out to be.

    Posted earlier that climate Change protesters outside Josh Frydenberg’s office this morning who could be heard 800 metres away where I live . This electorate has had a lot of hot spots recently so it will be interesting to see if any spread Covid . Numbers increasing so expect to see more restrictions
    We know about brothels v home visits but how about this ? Friends went to funeral yesterday where 50 allowed then went across to pub over the road where 100 without masks allowed .

    It is a scientific fact that Covid doesn’t spread at progressive protests.

    Egg, I’ll see your AC/DC playing George Benson’s “On Broadway”, and raise you Emmerson Lake and Palmer’s rendition of Mancini’s “Peter Gunn”.

    I remember a time when suggesting anything like this was going on, would instantly have one branded a “conspiracy nut”, yet I also recall at the same time, (pre Trump coming down that escalator), the common, shared sense that not all was lost, when we’d share the speeches of Hungary’s most based leader, Vikto Orban.

    Eight months ago Rochelle Walensky was just a college professor in Boston, but, because she’s a Marxist radical, she went to the front of the queue for a job implementing the Biden White House Revolutionary Committee’s blueprint for an anti-democratic communist America – to be hurriedly implemented without the consent of the governed before the ballot-rigging that got the puppet president into the White House last November is outlawed.
    How the fuck does this work? As a health bureaucrat, Walensky has just signed a proclamation outlawing American property rights.

    I know it’s been said before but we’re surrounded by fools, idiots and proto-fascists.

    Even the fascists of the Chinese Communist Party are amazed how easy it was to turn the democratic West into a totalitarian swamp, using the long march through Western institutions that that Marxists began after World War Two. All it needed was a trigger — Kung Flu released onto the world from the government lab in Wuhan.

    At the end of WWII, government was about 10% of the economy. In Australia, it’s now approaching 50% of GDP after an orgy of debt and spending that state and federal governments unleashed to counter the Kung Flu panic THEY STARTED.

    Speaking of which, the QLD government is offering small businesses $5K in compensation for the lockdown (originally 3 days, now extended).

    But the Queensland Chamber of Industry and Commerce has released figures showing that the 3 day lockdown would actually cost small businesses $15K minimum.

    And just to rub salt into the would, they estimate that 60% of small businesses won’t even qualify for the package.

    Meanwhile, politicians and public servants continue on full pay.

    Sorry I didn’t do the same – just obsessed at the moment with this brain fade in western society re COVID.

    Pathetically relieved today to see even Fauci taking up the cause of anti-viral therapy. Of course, none of the medical bureaucrats will back down straight away on vaccination. But it will be a gradual transition to antivirals, even if it does grease the pockets of Big Pharma. So be it. They bloody know that they work.

    Scumoron panicked in April 2020 – typical dufus: late to act, then overreact.

    Now we’re firmly in the shit spiral, so many directly or indirectly sucking off the government teat, so more government is good.

    I was in a meeting with Airport Rail link and pointed out that they were building a rail link to an airport that virtually no one flew out of anyone. After an uncomfortable silence the meeting moved on. The gravy train will crash, then what will we be left with?

    Gov Cuomo could tell you about both of those. Although the member in question is probably more local than international.
