Thanks BBS. My knowledge of biology is negligible, but assuming that the article describes his views accurately one would think that a Nobel Prizewinner for medicine giving such a warning would be at least listened to. But one thing I noticed when I did the search for that article was that none of the search results showed any MSM body even mentioning it.
________________________________________________________
Tim, it was strange how I couldn’t link that article here; my comment kept disappearing, including when I cut and pasted the entire thing.
I just had a look at Luc Montagnier’s wiki page, the below quote is from there;
“During the Covid-19 Pandemic Montagnier was a promoter of the conspiracy theory that Sars-Cov-2 the causative virus, was deliberately created in, and thereafter escaped a laboratory. Such a claim has been refuted by other virologists. He has been criticised by other academics for using his Nobel prize status to “spread dangerous health messages outside his field of knowledge””
Like you, I know nothing academically about this stuff but from that excerpt someone didn’t like him saying that the virus is man-made. The fact it’s still on wiki, when most everyone else now knows that it came out of the Wuhan Lab somehow is interesting.
p.s and now, I couldn’t put this up as well; I’ve had to take out the links to wiki

To land of the free, we’re a weirdly authoritarian mob
ADAM CREIGHTON
“What the hell is wrong with your country?” I’m asked almost every day in the US of late. At dinner on Saturday night in New York three Democrat friends demanded I explain why police were shooting rubber bullets and pepper spray to enforce public health.
At my hotel a doorman, Danny, came up to me. “Man, I heard your accent yesterday and I just wanted to say, holy shit, the stuff I’m seeing in Australia I can’t believe,” he said, asking if police helicopters really had hovered over suburbs, barking masking orders over loudspeakers.
Australians are rapidly losing their reputation as tough, irreverent larrikins. The nation has gone viral for hunting down “Covid fugitives” (people with a positive test), building remote quarantine facilities, shooting dogs, denying babies treatment in the closest hospitals and preventing families from seeing dying loved ones.
Forget Mick Dundee and Steve Irwin; Kerry Chant and Daniel Andrews are the new, hectoring faces of modern, safety-obsessed Australia. “That’s not a mask, this is a mask,” Americans would expect to hear in 2021. We’re seen as weak, naive and hopelessly parochial, an image reinforced by Western Australia’s zero-Covid policy to divorce itself from the rest of the country.
Millions of people in the US have watched, stupefied, the normalisation of behaviour and attitudes that two years ago would have been seen as the hallmark of a cruel, authoritarian society.
Columnist Josh Barro, son of Harvard economist Robert Barro, called Australia dystopian.
“I’m surprised there isn’t more debate about whether what they’re doing is OK as opposed to a human rights infringement,” statistician Nate Silver replied. Indeed, our $25m a year Human Rights Commission has been missing in action on fundamental liberties for 17 months, perhaps engrossed in a forthcoming trans rights discussion paper.
“I’m not sure why Australia is an example of any sort of success that the US would want to emulate,” Silver told his 3.5 million Twitter followers.
Australia has become the butt of jokes on late-night TV, Andrews’ prohibition of drinking alcohol without a mask being a favourite. “There’s some crazy shit going on right now where the army is trying to keep people inside in Australia,” US comedian Joe Rogan, with 7.4 million Twitter followers, said this month.
The idea Australians and Americans are cultural brothers in arms has been shattered. Australians copied their old colonial masters on Covid, but more zealously. Americans, true to the legacy of the Declaration of Independence, have eschewed, even in liberal California, the police heavy-handedness that became the norm in Britain and Australia. State borders never shut.
“It’s because they took your guns away, isn’t it?” Danny said. “They would never get away with that shit here.” America’s gun problem makes it difficult to boss people around excessively.
Two weeks ago the US Department of Homeland Security issued a terror threat warning, not only because of the approaching September 11 anniversary but also because of “grievances over public health safety measures and perceived government restrictions”. “Extremists may seek to exploit … re-establishment of public health restrictions across the United States as a rationale to conduct attacks,” it said.
Every US state is flashing red on the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention’s Covid map, reflecting high transmission, defined as more than 100 cases per 100,000 people in the past seven days – a higher level than in NSW.
The health advice is no longer gospel. At least 40 US states have ignored the CDC’s demand for indoor mask mandates, supposedly necessary for such high levels of transmission. No state governor, not even House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, queen of liberal piety, would dare publicly link curtailing basic freedoms to compliance with arbitrary health advice.
Australians living in the US are shocked, too, regularly filling my inbox with tales of despair.
“My wife and I and eightmonth-old son have been here for 10-plus years and we’re reconsidering our pre-pandemic plan to move back due to concerns about Covid handling, the prospect of continued lockdowns and the overall desirability of Australia,” wrote Josh and his wife, directors at big four accounting firms in Los Angeles, understandably too fearful to reveal their full names.
“The Covid mania in Australia this year is unbelievable, particularly when viewed from abroad,” said Alex, an Australian businessman in Chicago. “No country ever prospered by being so cynical and risk averse. Hopefully sanity prevails one day so we can all see our families again.”
I struggled to explain to Danny why Australia’s response was so extreme: being a remote island fuelled a perception the virus could be eliminated, lockdowns did seem to work at first, individuals have few if any constitutional rights and Australia began as a subsidised government project, entrenching a widespread faith in bureaucracy. And in smaller nations Covid stories crowd out other news more easily, ensuring a steady diet of 24/7 fear porn.
In Iowa recently I searched in vain on local TV for a daily chief health officer update on Covid-19, let alone an intricate parsing of the cases into linked, in the community and overseas.
None of these explanations is adequate, though. Switzerland’s Covid restrictions paled in comparison with Australia’s, Japan never locked down and Alberta, Canada, with about the same population as Victoria, practically abolished all restrictions on July 1.
I walked off to a cafe after chatting with Danny, asking the manager why he hadn’t checked my vaccination status – a legal requirement in New York since August 16. “I asked the previous customer and he yelled and walked out so I couldn’t be stuffed asking you,” he said. In Australia everyone has to check in, I explained. He just laughed at me.

The word on the Council protests was spread last week.
Might be an issue in the city but rural councils aren’t doing anything much to push lockdowns.
I was talking to a couple of council office staff in a cafe the other day and they were both sick of the lockdown and couldn’t see any need for it.

Correct. No one is pushing or policing any lockdown in the country. Maybe the odd Karen here and there.
I did a 100+km round trip to go shopping in Ballarat on Saturday, and judging by the amount of cars on the road, so were plenty of others.
Lockdowns are for cities: Easier to police. Higher concentration of peer group pressure/herd mentality/snitches.

“Nobody of a certain age should have any hesitancy with the AstraZeneca.
“And it’s really important to know that when we open up, those that are unvaccinated won’t be allowed to to other things because they will be exposed.
“That is why at 70% double dose freedoms will extend to people that are fully vaccinated.
“We cannot afford to have the unvaccinated exposed to venues and we can’t afford to have the unvaccinated susceptible to disease, to get disease.
“That’s why we’re urging everybody, giving people plenty of notice to say if you want to participate in the freedoms that come with 70%, that come with 80%, please, please get vaccinated.

2 articles from the Hun. First from corporate world:
“Virgin Australia chief Jayne Hrdlicka has raised concerns the consequences of extended lockdowns could be more devastating than the covid virus itself as she joined Qantas in mandating vaccinations for workers.
Having previously called for borders to open even though “some people may die,” Ms Hrdlicka on Monday voiced concerns about the heavy toll of governments response to the pandemic, on young people in particular.
She said Australia was fortunate to have not had the same massive outbreaks as other countries but the need to vaccinate the population was just as urgent.
“The consequences of being locked down a pretty far-reaching and hard to calculate”, Ms Hrdlicka said.
“The impact on kids and their future and mental health, and the consequences for long-term stability, they’re factors that need to be considered that hasn’t been as important or obvious.
“We need to open up and we need to do that in a way that’s safe and protects the community from the consequences of lockdown as well as the consequences of covid.”
Virgin Australia has decided to mandate vaccinations for all employees, no matter how far from the “frontline”.”
So vaccinate or my company will perish she exclaimed with relish. Won’t be parting with my hard earned on this airline.

Waiting in the doctors surgery today and did not check-in as I was already on their computer for my appointment.

I don’t understand why the anti-discrimination legislation clause on infectious diseases has not being used regarding employment.
Being threatened with losing a job is covered by the legislation. I saw Tanya Davies – a Western Sydney MLA – talk to a paramedic from Tumut, who has 25 years service, who said that he and his wife (who’s a nurse) will resign (as will others he knows) before the end of Sept rather than have the jab, which is being made mandatory.
I don’t know what Tanya’s view on this is – I’d think she’d support workers making claims of discrimination on this, but why, in the instance of the paramedic, or the tradies she was talking about, did she not point out that legislation?
And if in a union, members should make contact to insist on support. Without an actual written policy on the vaccines from the employer, including the provision of workers compensation because of the major side-effects, how could anyone be sacked? (I know there’s now coverage from Sept (to be backdated) through the Federal Govt, but how generous is it vis a vis workers compensation and what about the fine print?)

Now just how did the app know where I was? Are we being tracked, and not traced? Is this how the app is being used? To spy on our whereabouts and movements?
—————-
Yes the app is active all the time even when “closed” it continues to run in the background.
It is a compliance check- the authorities can tell how many times you do or don’t check in if they want to pull your data.

I don’t know what Tanya’s view on this is – I’d think she’d support workers making claims of discrimination on this, but why, in the instance of the paramedic, or the tradies she was talking about, did she not point out that legislation?

In light of Scomenegle’s maniacal press conference where he declared daycare ‘no jab no play’ is now national policy for all adults in Australia, it’s obvious that Israel is the model that we’re following.
So three months ago it was just ‘movies, restaurants and sports’ that you were banned from.
Today in Israel:
“Ministers of the high-level coronavirus cabinet voted Monday to expand the so-called Green Pass entry limitations to education, health, and social welfare institutions, a government statement said.”
Also now punishing rebellious regions by banning their children from going to school until they comply:
“Red City’ high schools with less than 70% vaccination rates to go to distance learning”
This is a campaign.

I tend to think PM Morrison is setting up Gladys to test the water with this, as is his style with things he is frightened to announce himself.
I don’t think she knows what she is doing really. Very nice lady, but simply out of her depth. Not ill meaning, just does not understand fully the implications of the policies she announces. Dan Andrews does for sure, and is also letting her be the test case.

No.
She might have a gun to her head; and if so should resign. Otherwise she owns it.

It’s bloody heartbreaking.
My 15 year old granddaughter, who didn’t want to be vaccinated, is now saying she has to, since she thinks her (private) school will not let her attend classes without a vax certificate.
I have advised her mother to have her ovarian eggs harvested & frozen before vax as a precaution.
I wonder if the NSW & C’wealth Liberal governments have any idea what hatred they are creating in those who hold the concept of individual choice as sacred.

Interesting. The VIC Nudge team did a project for Brett Sutton on improving take up of the HPV vaccine – essentially getting schools to share student names and parent contact info so they can be ‘nudged’. Also notes that the Vic unit works closely with the UK team (presumably the one based in Sydney) and a behavioural unit at Monash uni.”

My daughter rang me from Uni when they first started pushing the HPV, especially to those young adults who were residents, immersed in the Pro-HPV propaganda & away from their families.
It was the sleazy way they were pushing it that made her baulk & not have it.
Again she’s been glad she did, as yet again she didn’t suffer any of the fresh new health hells her contemporaries have.

“This is a campaign.”, it’s also evil and also why so many around the world were banned, cancelled, throttled, kettled, and generally packed attacked by those tasked with pushing through acceptance of the various components of ‘The Great Reset’.
Many saw & forewarned how groups such as Common Purpose, their spin offs & foundational groups work to get free people to give up their freedoms to the same people who run Death Panels & kill ‘bothersome’ people, with the full support of the majority, e.g. the NHS & Medicare criminalising treatments that could save lives & that free people are willing to pay for themselves.

Morrison is an idiot. Setting up this “National Council” was astoundingly stupid.
Its a variation on believing that by “throwing the left” some scraps, they will leave you alone. What an utter goose.
The minute you gain power, you have to sack every last one of these bastards. Clear out the public service, and give the remaining ones that you can’t sack zero oxygen.
Conservatives make the same mistake. Every. Single. Time.
The left will never love you. Ever.

After all, you could only yell, ‘Conspiracy Nut!’, so often before others noticed those doing that yelling were also ‘justifying’ things like the Death Panels, that the banned were warning of … and here we are …
