    ‘Jackie O has revealed on air that her ex-husband, Lee Henderson, is “in a bad way” after suffering a rare side effect of the Pfizer vaccination against Covid-19.

    In an interview with NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian on TheKyle and Jackie O Show this morning, the radio host explained that Henderson had experienced the same rare condition as Channel 7 reporter Denham Hitchcock, who was hospitalised last month with pericarditis.

    The illness causes the tissue surrounding the heart to become inflamed.

    “You’d be aware what has happened to Denham Hitchcock, and my ex-husband has had the same thing. He’s been in hospital and really, really in a bad way after the second Pfizer (shot),” Jackie told the Premier.’

    Here’s another testimonial for the Lawn Mower 4.0, from Dipro B. in January.  He gives it five stars out of five, and says:
    ‘The best Body Trimmer I’ve ever used!
    I purchased the Lawnmower 4.0 recently and I must say it’s the ideal body trimmer. The shave quality is outstanding and the chances for cuts are truly minimal to say the least. Additionally the light really comes in handy when you’re dealing with tricky spots but truly even when not using a guard for trimming I had no nicks and cuts or even pricks which other body trimmers produce sometimes as they pinch the hair rather than cutting it.’
    Seriously.  You can’t afford not to get this.

    LETTER OF THE WEEK
    WAKE-UP CALL
    Don’t get me wrong: we love overseas travel. But, at the same time, we’re long-time climate change worriers (that’s not a typo, but we’re among those – and I fear we are legion – who worry about climate change without making serious personal sacrifices). The pandemic pressed the pause button on overseas travel and has got us thinking seriously about how – while hurting humanity – it has been a blessing for the planet. So now, our travel money has been funnelled into an electric car, solar panels and a powerwall and we are virtually off the grid, at home and away. And due to our local travels over the years, we can see that while overseas destinations have become overwhelmed with tourists, there are hundreds of local sites and sights that are craving visitors.

    was just reading the instructions on the box of N95 masks at the safety shop. “The mask does not eliminate the risk of contracting any disease or infection.” Submission muzzles are pure theatre. Now ask yourself why they’re doing this to you, here, in Australia. Peter, West Cairns

    Jen S, you got the Bill Gates vax? Stunning and brave! Did you see if a fridge magnet sticks to the jab-site? If it does, you got the clotshot. If it doesn’t you got the saline and you’re in the control group – for now. Your luck may change with the never-ending boosters. Adios, senora! Boris, Mareeba

    Jennifer Spilsbury, if you get blood clots or suffer a heart attack will you admit in the newspaper that you were wrong to rush into a vaccine that won’t be fully tested until your daughter is in high school? Might be best for your husband to refuse the jab; poor kid needs at least one parent. Elaine, Innisfail

    OK, editor, you’re fully vaxxed. Now, will you refuse a vaccine passport to show you weren’t just trying to comply your way out of tyranny? Bradley, Cairns

    Yet again, every digital Murdoch paper loads competently except the Cairns Post. You want feedback, Me Spilsbury? Start looking for another job, because the Cairns Post is going to go broke if this keeps up. Jen, Edge Hill

    Would people please stop referring to News Corp and the LNP as “right-wing”? It’s offensive to actual small-govt, low-tax, free-speech right-wingers. Alec, Whitfield

    Just wondering, if Biden is the most popular president ever with 81 million votes, why are whole football stadiums of Americans chanting “F*** Joe Biden”? Republican, Cairns

    Victorian Police surrounded a synagogue to prevent Jews going inside to pray – exactly as the Nazis did in 1930s Germany. But people can’t see our govt’s slide to fascism? People actually support “vaccine passports” (CP, 10/9)? Just as stupidly compliant as 1930s Germans. History Guy, Freshwater

    If News Corp really plans to go paper-free, it seriously needs to get its act together. Digital products that don’t load are a loser. Same with biased content. Publish some non-lefty, factual news before your customers leave you for your free competitors. Bob, Caims

    I remember a couple years back, before the ccp virus, being pleased to see Sky News on FTA TV. But now, with few exceptions, the after dark hosts are so sucked in by the lefty narrative as to be  unwatchable. Z. Viegter, Smithfield

    I’ve noticed it’s usually the noodle-armed soi-boi radical left that want to launch violent attacks on us “right wing fossil fuel advocates.” Come at us, weaklings – but first ask someone you know who goes to gym about “farm strength.” After we the you in knots we’ll pour some of nature’s liquid batteries into the tractors and grow you some kale and lettuce. Redneck, Mareeba

    Wait, what? 80 per cent vaxed is a “magic” number? That’s the problem with everything covid-related. It all relies on magical numbers. Spiro, Mareeba

    No, Jennifer Spilsbury, you did not get the jab to protect others. That’s a myth hatched by health bureaucrats. The vaccine doesn’t stop you catching, spreading or dying of covid. If it protects anyone to any degree it only protects you – nobody else. You got the jab to try to comply your way out of government tyranny. At best you are a useful idiot. At worst you’re a traitor to the ANZAC tradition and a genuine menace to society. Why won’t you be honest about the irrefutable fact that covid can be easily cured by well-known drugs? Higgs Tolga

    More Australians know someone who suicided or attempted suicide in the past year than know someone who caught even mild covid. Our authorities have lost the plot. Lisa, Machans Beach

    If you learned history at school and you don’t recognise Nazi-style tyranny from our own governments (CP, 10/09) then you were taught by a Marxist. Marxists and Nazis have been fellow-travellers all along – they just don’t want you to know that. Darryl, Westcourt

    Traditional media is committing covid-suicide with excessive sucking up to the insane scumbags in govts. Newspapers are now less believable than the conspiracy theorists on the internet. Keith, Bungalow

    CP. 10/9. Unbelievable. Healthy teenagers who don’t catch or spread covid are to be injected with a gene-changing mRNA vaccine, a drug so ineffective that the CDC had to change the definition of “vaccine” to fit it. The Nazis are back and they’re running our governments. Woz, Parramatta Park

    A new, published, peer-reviewed, real-time clinical study from Nigeria has shown ivermectin-antibiotic-zinc-vitamin C cocktails cure covid in three days. The zinc does the covid killing. The ivermectin is just the transport mechanism. The antibiotics tidy the mess. The vitamin C heals the body. Why is all mention of this Aussie-designed treatment banned? Meanwhile the government pushes experimental designer-drug vaccines. Pure evil. The truth has a way of coming out. Watch out, ScoMo. VL, Smithfield

    2021 is really weird. The media is suppressing more stories than its reporting. The police are focusing more on innocents than criminals. Businesses exclude customers and staff if they refused a medical procedure. Politicians and bureaucrats think they’re gods. Comedians aren’t funny. Healthy people are locked into quarantine camps. Innocent people are put under house arrest. It’s obviously an enemy attack, but how do we stop it when our leadership seems to be in on it? James, Mooroobool

    The CP Editor (9/9) asked for feedback on the website. Here’s mine. Once you stop printing on paper you’ll be competing with every other website in the world. Many of them don’t slant their  content to suit the agendas of third parties – such as PMs, Premiers and CHOs. The Cairns Post will go broke at that point if it is still woke. Joanne, Manunda

    It’s the 38th day (or thereabouts) of Victoria’s current lockdown, and there’s 450 new cases with 375 not yet traced to a known source.

    Roll back the tape to 20 July, when Maximum Leader announced the success of his 5th lockdown:

    ”Avoiding a NSW-style long, lengthy, very challenging lockdown where we lose control of cases, we have avoided that,”

    Well that one didn’t age well, did it?

    Incidentally, I wonder what NSW’s position was on the 38th day of their lockdown? Adjusting for population, unless NSW was getting something like 600 or more new cases a day at that time, the criticisms of Gladys for trying to manage it without totalitarian thuggery would in hindsight seem dubious, given the lack of success of Dan’s latest monomanic “destroy the village to save it” societal destructiveness.

    More a sort of planned lack of success I think, now the vaccine passport is getting through and there is a group to blame, ie, the unvaccinated.  Makes it easier for him.

    He probably doesn’t want the vaccinated level to go too high.  If there was a more serious  breakout it would mean the whole thing falls apart with nowhere to go.
