We used to think it noble to sacrifice our lives to preserve our freedom. Now we sacrifice our freedom to preserve lives : Comments

By Dave Smith, published 22/10/2021

I have never accepted, and I do not accept now, that what is driving our government’s response to this ‘great pandemic’ is purely a concern for public health.

Alan B, only thirty per cent of the population is liable to suffer covid infection. The rest of us shrug it off with no symptoms or few symptoms. It only kills 0.03% of the population and that is very old or with co-morbidities.
Guard these people which Andrews didn't in Victoria and Cuomo didn't in New York. Cuomo in fact sent Covid sick people back into care homes which is why there were so many deaths. Mass graves just showed incompetence in local government.
Bad news is vaccines are not fit for purpose and Covid will still go through Australia. Good news is that it is nothing to be overly concerned about.
Worse news is the now long, long lists of people on waiting lists and the thousands killed by suicide, mental problems and all those not diagnosed with cancer.
I suppose that is the fault of the unvaccinated too?

Hasbeen. I can not confirm your assertions! However, what we were denied was island quarantine! And island quarantine would have meant, no shutdowns or border closures would have been necessary or even warranted! Ditto adversely impacted local economies!

Our government seemingly put far more value on a few foreign lives, than that of the entire Australian population!?

Moreover, the complacency and incompetence that allowed a twelve-month delay in getting adequate supplies of safe effective vaccines, beggars belief!

Alan B, we are an island but have you any idea how much interaction goes on with the rest of the world? A lot! A real very big lot. I would go as far as to say more than you can ever imagine.
Now the Covid corona virus i.e. the common cold virus will spread no matter what, as all our local King Knut's have found out and/or will find out. Lovely to always think you can blame others and you can but I for one could not care a less about all your fear. That is all it is "YOUR FEAR" not rational and not even common sense. Calm down Alan, stay inside and stay safe.
Bad news is we all die eventually but do not obsess about it, it is not healthy.

Yes JB, it is the fault of the unvaccinated! And the ultimate responsibility for an adequate supply of safe effective vaccines, I believe, is and was the responsibility of a complacent and incompetent federal government.

Y'll have a nice day now y'hear.

Fair enough Alan B 10% of the population, unvaccinated, is causing the disease in 90% vaccinated people, makes sense lol.
Those vaccines were developed in one year and neither stop infection or passing it on although you are still blaming people who did not get vaccinated?
Alan you are upset and being foolish, I do not care who you blame and you should realise you are still in the natural world and subject to its laws. You love your ALP branch stackers and hate the rest of us. You can do that in our democracy but god help us if your ilk get in.
Spare me your attempts at sarcasm or bile because as I said I do not care.
