Far more dangerous than the virus is the daily harping about numbers, the fear-mongering, the 'advice' from quacks and, the political class that we have allowed to take control of our lives.

The most dangerous virus to come from China recently is not COVID, it’s “socialism with Chinese characteristics” with its siren call of unrestrained power for large sections of our political and economic elites.

Rather than us changing China as the greedy and naive thought we could, it is China that is increasingly changing us.

Regarding island quarantine; how do we get people to the island?

It can’t be a fast train, so it will have to be a crowded ‘plane or a slow boat.

ttbn is foremost amoung equals at giving quackery advice. And based on an abundant knowledge of a massive amount of SFA! If we listen to him and his equally ignorant cohort? We would look like India or new york with the mass grave and a larger death toll than two world wars! Suggest, if you think I'm talking C.R.A.P. You head for the western suburbs of Sydney. Then take a casual toll meeting and greeting as many folks as possible.

Moreover, being fully vaccinated will probably protect you from a serious illness but not your possible capacity to be a super spreader.

And as long as any demographic remains unvaccinated this killer virus ould further mutates into ever more viralent variants, some of which will infect the vaccinated and indeed kill or seriously harm many of them. The delta variant has claimed many young victims some of who are seriously ill or even number among an increasing number of dead! And no, no amount of diabolically dumb ignorant abuse Will shut me up or deter me from speaking the truth! Or calling out those who don't or won't.

Simply put, this killer virus should never have been allowed in and wouldn't have been if we but had island quarantine backed by testing all who cross any border. Moreover, those same borders should remain closed to all but essential travel and that cohort would need to be repeatedly tested before being allowed to proceed, to ensure they do not become super spreader carriers as well! And if that remains our response? We can get the internal domestic economy fully reopened ASAP!

N.B. This virus spreads with the movement of hosts! Shut down that movement for a full 28 days all across the nation, which should have been our first response! Then that would have been the one and only shut down needed, if also accompanied by the referred to, island quarantine, with no exceptions! NONE!

We cannot learn to live with this virus but to die in ever-increasing numbers, indefinitely!

Alan B, wrong again…

Some facts:

“ The EudraVigilance database reports that through July 3, 2021 there are 17,503 deaths and 1,687,527 injuries reported following injections of four experimental COVID-19 shots:

COVID-19 MRNA VACCINE MODERNA (CX-024414)
COVID-19 MRNA VACCINE PFIZER-BIONTECH
COVID-19 VACCINE ASTRAZENECA (CHADOX1 NCOV-19)
COVID-19 VACCINE JANSSEN (AD26.COV2.S)
From the total of injuries recorded, half of them (837,588 ) are serious injuries. “
