Isn’t majorly irresponsible for our “public health” apparatus to be screaming to the entire population get vaccinated and not mention that two shots is no longer working, and you’ll be getting many more forever?
Because most people are labouring under the assumption that they’re getting two shots and that’s it, Covid19 is all over, back to 2019 we go.
“Some 420,000 Israelis have been administered a third booster shot so far, in a drive that began last week.”
How does the “50%” or “80%” numbers work, when the Pfizer vaccine is already out of date? Is that 80% of two injections, or is that 80% of people have all necessary ‘boosters’ – 2, 3, 4, 50, at any given moment?

It really is an issue of supply and demand. Often you see, say the Aussie Dollar moving in a direction that you’d think would cause petrol prices to respond predictably and they don’t. Why? There are numerous factors that impact on these prices. We’re on the Singapore oil price index, which beats to its own drum within reason. Also, inventories here could have some impact. Low inventories could cause the suppliers to hit the peddle for a little more cents per liter in Australia.
Also, don’t forget that that Aussie dollar about a month ago was around 78.50 to the US dollar. We’re around 6.5% lower today.

Union says Umbakumba teachers living in fear, terrorised with knives, machetes
The union representing Territory education staff has called for teachers in a remote NT community to be relocated immediately, with teachers reportedly living in fear from being terrorised by youths with knives, machetes and other weapons.
Raphaella Saroukos, NT News
THE union representing Territory education staff has called for teachers in Umbakumba, Groote Eylandt to be relocated immediately, with teachers reportedly living in fear from being terrorised by youths with knives, machetes and other weapons.
Australian Education Union NT (AEU NT) branch president Jarvis Ryan said increased violence in the community led to about half a dozen teaching staff being victims of break-ins, often during the middle of the night, by intruders wielding machetes and axes.
Mr Ryan said they had damaged school buildings and vehicles, leaving behind large weapons, with some offenders as young as 11-years-old. He said the Department of Education has been requested to remove the teachers to Alyangula.
“The ongoing threat to employee safety in their homes and in their workplace is causing significant psychological harm to the teaching staff working at Umbakumba,” he said.
“They have made it clear to the union and the Department that they are committed to their work and turning every day and doing the best they can for the students – but they are unwilling to continue to be expected to live in a community where their safety at night cannot be guaranteed and they cannot even be assured of a good night’s sleep.
“Despite Umbakumba notionally having a police station, it is often not staffed and police often do not respond to calls for help after hours as they are close to an hour away and have limited staffing capacity. Police and most other public servants are not accommodated in Umbakumba – they have houses in Alyangula.”
“The union believes the Department is failing in its duties as an employer under the Work Health and Safety Act to provide a safe working environment for its employees. In a remote community such as Umbakumba, this responsibility extends to housing provided by the employer.”
Mr Ryan said Work Health and Safety incident reports had been lodged and the union would now be referring the matter to NT WorkSafe for investigation.
He added the violent behaviour and unrest in the community was not new and that the Department and government’s ‘failure’ to address it had contributed to a revolving door of principals and teaching staff in recent years, with several going on workers’ compensation after being victims of occupational violence.
He said in the most serious case, a female teacher was so seriously injured she may never work again.
“More broadly, what we are seeing in Umbakumba is evidence of a failing strategy by the NT Government. Groote Eylandt is supposed to be the jewel in the crown of Michael
Gunner’s Local Decision Making policy, however two of the three communities on the island are so dysfunctional it is not safe for public servants to live there,” he said.
“This school is churning through multiple principals per year because it is not a safe working environment. And the Department is not listening to its staff and making the necessary changes to address the problems.”
Mr Ryan called on the chief executive and the Education Minister to show leadership and concern for the wellbeing of employees by immediately agreeing to relocate employees until it is deemed safe to live in the community.
“Many years ago, it was determined that it was not safe for teaching staff to reside in Angurugu and they were relocated to Alyangula. Umbakumba is now in the same category,” he said.
“Failure to act on this matter is an abdication of leadership and the employer’s responsibility to protect the wellbeing of its employees. Government officials may not be able to fix community dysfunction overnight, but they can do far more to look after hardworking teaching staff who are putting themselves in harm’s way to try to provide an education for children.”
An NT Education Department spokeswoman said the safety and wellbeing of staff was of the upmost importance.
“The department is aware of community unrest in Umbakumba with senior department officials visiting the community last week to discuss these issues with all staff at the school,” she said.
“We are working with the community to co-ordinate a meeting with Elders to work together to restore a safe environment in the community. Colleagues from police and Territory Families will be invited to attend this meeting.
“All staff have been offered support through the Employee Assistance Program and to remind them that they department will provide the support they need to feel safe in their workplace and their community.
“Acknowledging the concerns from our teachers about unrest in community, we are urgently working with our colleagues at Territory Families, Housing and Communities to investigate an alternative housing option for staff who may require it.
“The department has also requested an urgent review into the security of staff houses at Umbakumba.
“This morning, a formal request was made to NT Police to increase their presence in the community.
“The union has been advised of the above and the department welcomes further conversations with them in relation to this matter. The department is committed to responding to the issues staff raise and working collaboratively with the union to support all staff.”

“Cairns in shockdown” (CP 9/8) except it’s not a shock – it’s completely unsurprising. That’s because when ScoMo was at the G7 he agreed to trial “stage four restrictions” for the “new normal” regardless of the course of “the virus.” This was all planned in advance – and we’re a nation of hostages to irrational ideas. Joanne, Manunda
It’s well over two weeks since the Delta strain was loose in Mareeba. I still don’t know of anyone who so much as sneezed, much less died from it. Spiro, Mareeba
400,000 Aussies not allowed to go overseas – nannystate says “no.” We started as a prison island and we ended as a prison island. Vale, fair Australia, for I loved thee well, and while your death went unremarked many of us will mourn for you. Rosie, Stratford
Coronaviruses prefer cold weather, which is why colds and flus are more common in winter. The country with the fewest government covid restrictions was Sweden, which has lots of cold weather. Sweden’s results are an annual death rate similar to the previous, pre-covid, years. In other words, even in covid-friendly climates it was better for government to advise the people but not to attempt to control the people. By contrast, our politicians have likely caused more deaths from suicide and postponed medical attention than they think they’ve saved. Angry Aussie, Cairns
(CP 9/8) Look, the best help the business sector (which is owners and customers) can get would be for the government to just quit their covid drama. Only lefties believe it now, and even they’re losing their faith. It’s gone on too long for too little at too high a cost. The government has no money except that which it takes from us or borrows in our names – and we can no longer afford to fund their covid delusions. Chloe, Kuranda
Excellent question about CO2, Teddy of Bungalow (CP, 07/08). The answer is no, all the travel restrictions and lockdowns have not affected the atmospheric CO2 flux. The CSIRO’s Cape Grim data is here – http://capegrim.csiro.au/ – and NOAA’s Mauna Loa data is here – https://gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/trends/mlo.html. Both confirm that humans have no detectable influence on CO2. Higgs, Tolga
The more doubts about the vaccines arise, the more sensitive those who have had the jab become to any criticism of their shot’s safety and efficacy. I got my head bitten off for merely saying that the jab is irreversible. Sandy, Caravonica
Of course ‘activities are grinding to a halt.’ It’s not proper socialism until the peasants are denied all the simple pleasures of life. Lu, Cairns
If you don’t have cold or flu symptoms but you’re getting tested for “covid 19” you’re contributing to the government-led hysteria and you’re putting yourself at risk of two weeks house arrest from a false positive. Jeannie, Bramston Beach
In March we heard all about The Coof wreaking havoc in PNG. Doomsday pronouncements abounded. Whatever happened to all that? It seemed to get memory-holed. Is anyone left alive up there? Expat, Cairns
British medical journal ‘The Lancet’ has released research showing the “absolute risk reduction” of the most effective covid vaccine is just 1.8 per cent. That just destroyed any possible justification for the government’s vaccine obsession. Astrid, Edmonton
Peter Gleeson, “activists” is a misnomer. Environmental activists are attacking the things on which we all rely and which none of us can survive without. A complete win for them would see the few survivors back in the stone age. And that makes them “terrorists.” Davina, Bungalow
Reports are coming in from around the world that the covid virus in no longer detectable in advanced laboratories that use more serious methods than the unreliable RT-PCR test. Whatever came out of the Chinese lab didn’t have what it takes to survive for long in the wild. Which makes you wonder what our govt ningnongs are up to. VL, Smithfield
CP. 9/8. “US slams poll.” That’s rich coming from a Democrat – their theft of the US November is legendary and the only people that don’t believe it happened are Democrat useful idiots and their fully-owned media outlets. Woz, Parramatta Park
Since the taxi driver’s positive test (CP, 09/08) was done locally and was probably one of the PCR tests the US CDC has determined yield too many false positives, could we please arrange to have the sample examined under an electron microscope to determine if it really is the Delta variant of SARS-Cov-2 and not just a dead fragment of an old common cold virus? I think we’re owed that much. Darryl, Westcourt

How many weeks has it been since the Delta-infected covid ward worker visited Townsville and Maggie? Six? Seven? So where’s the overwhelmed hospital and piles of deceased parkies? F.M.D., Hermit Park

Just a question:
When one gets tested, and returns a positive result, is there any treatment recommended or do you merely get told to stay home and isolate.
If the latter, then this is madness, given there are at least two useful treatments available for early stage virus infection.
You might think this is all intended to prolong the virus and fear. And you might be right.”
I’ve phoned ministers offices and sent emails to senators and MPs asking this very question.
It is now more than 18 months since this virus hit yet there is still no treatment protocol available for a person who tests positive.
My wife is a GP and she says that there has been nothing in the medical literature outlying a treatment protocol. In Qld those testing positive are admitted to hospital for observation until they deteriorate and require major interventions. Until then the patient has to hope for the best.
Elsewhere it seems that are isolated at home and observed for symptoms. Nothing happens until they deteriorate of die. This is nothing short of a scandal. True are treatments available but they have been actively suppressed. In Qld prescribing or administering HCQ for the treatment of COVID is illegal.
Doctors who wish to prescribe Ivermectin or HCQ require an authority script (permission from a public servant who knows nothing about the patient). Treatment for COVID is not covered.
Meanwhile, evidence is mounting that the vaccines are failing to measure up to the hype.
This is developing into a clusterfuck of major proportions.

…….when I told people that Google & Wikipedia removed information……
Interesting story about that.
Wikipedia is ‘community edited’ meaning that you can become a Wikipedia editor if you have the time. Edits are subject to review by a panel so edits that are factually wrong or offensive are (eventually) deleted/changed.
Anyway, there was one particular Wiki page that I edited and a panel editor contacted me and said that he wasn’t sure my edits were accurate. Thing is, I was responsible for the actions that occurred and were the subject of the page. (I hadn’t lodged the original page).
So he says “….maybe, but I think…..”
I responded with ” no maybe about it. I’m the guy. Not only did I initiate (it), but guided and managed it so I know precisely what happened. 1st person. It was ME!!!!”
The person withdrew their objection and the edits I made remain in place to this day.
All these years later it still makes me laugh. Anyway, I withdrew from editing ‘cos there was a ‘shift’ in style by a few. Accuracy is/was still paramount and Wikipedia is a great resource but some pages have strayed from the original intent of the platform. Some want to insert narrative rather than confine themselves to facts.

MV,
I’m trying to understand what you have posted that caused Sinc to shut down. You have clearly alluded to it above, taken credit for it in fact. I’ve checked out FA but can’t find anything in there resembling what you have described. Maybe it’s buried in a long string, I don’t know. I’m keeping an open mind here but you are being coy. What were the “home truths” you posted that you claim intimidated Sinc into closing?
Report comment
I keep an open mind and call bullshit when I see it.
The fact is MV, Sinclair kept that site going for years.
It went from a more libertarian economics blog to a haven for conservatives as well (people who know what institutions and culture allows what the Libertarians want)
Sinclair did a good job.
He was from a bloody university and a professor.
What would you really expect?
He was upfront about his bitcoin stuff, …….and we are all still in contact.
He would have had pressure to close the blog down, I think no one would be at all surprised.
It would be from people far higher in the food chain than you.
